The Korea Game Society is launching a new digital asset division to explore the convergence of gaming and digital assets.

The division was inaugurated during a workshop held at Gonjiam Resort on the 18th, where Professor Won Eun-seok of Mokwon University was appointed as the inaugural chair.

Professor Won Eun-seok, who also serves as the chairman of the International Digital Asset Committee (IDAC), has been leading efforts to promote the social adoption of digital assets and create a sustainable ecosystem.

The Korea Game Society's digital asset division has set its sights on several goals: ▲ discovering new service models that bridge gaming and digital assets, ▲ identifying practical applications for digital assets within the gaming industry, ▲ proposing new agendas for this convergence, ▲ preparing preemptive institutional responses, and ▲ building a collaborative network between gaming and digital asset sectors.

During the activity report meeting, President Wi Jong-hyun clarified that while the Korea Game Society has maintained a stance of vigilance and opposition against the illicit use of coins in gaming, the organization fully acknowledges the necessity of the digital asset industry. President Wi Jong-hyun stated that as digital assets become institutionalized and expand in various ways, the role of the Korea Game Society is to contemplate and propose new service models that transcend the existing P2E paradigm.

Division Chair Won Eun-seok noted, "Digital assets are currently evolving through diverse methods, such as internal corporate transactions and micro-transactions involving decimals for AI, which suggests we can discuss topics beyond just gaming services, including cost efficiency for game developers. I plan to manage this division to ensure a robust exchange of information and discussions between digital assets and the gaming sector."

The digital asset division will consist of experts from the Korea Game Society alongside specialists from the digital asset field. The division plans to hold regular committee meetings to host seminars and define research topics.
