Seoul, Republic of Korea – VaaSBlock is proud to announce its expansion into South Korea, following a landmark strategic partnership with the Korean Government. This collaboration positions VaaSBlock as the first and only blockchain company to secure such a collaboration, demonstrating the Government’s recognition of the organization’s potential to drive impactful innovation in Web3.
As part of this historic arrangement, co-founder Raphaël Rocher will lead VaaSBlock’s Korean Operations, heading the new Office in Gangnam, Seoul – which was provided as part of this partnership. With the government’s direct support, VaaSBlock is set to establish itself as a key player in the Korean blockchain ecosystem, aligning its goals with the region’s strategic push toward digital transformation.
One giant leap for Web3.
Republic of Korea’s Ministry of SMEs and Startups has long sought to attract Global Companies capable of creating significant local impact. Best in class, VaaSBlock was chosen as a standout example, highlighting the RMA™ (Risk Management Authentication) certification as a cornerstone for building trust and transparency in decentralized systems.
Through this partnership, both parties demonstrate a shared commitment to securing the Web3 space for Korean users. This collaboration began with VaaSBlock’s leadership, including CEO Ben Rogers, participating in the yearly COMEUP event in Seoul. There, they engaged with key stakeholders, including Venture Capitalists, Industry Researchers, Analysts, as well as Minister Oh YoungJu and her team, to discuss the critical challenges and opportunities in blockchain innovation.
Ambitions for Korea and Beyond.
As part of their 2025 roadmap, VaaSBlock has outlined a bold strategy to connect with Korea’s most powerful institutions, fostering partnerships that will drive the adoption of best practices in Web3. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Korean market, VaaSBlock is committed to opening new doors for high-quality teams within the RMA™ Network in order to establish themselves in Korea and the broader Asian region.
Additionally, VaaSBlock’s introduction of physical RMA™ Badges in Korea signals a new way for companies to showcase their credibility. These badges, handed out by VaaSBlock leadership during their visit, represent a tangible addition to the certification system, allowing businesses to demonstrate trust and reliability to visitors and staff alike.
Freshly appinted Head of Korea, Raphaël Rocher declared: “The trajectory South Korea has taken in Web3 has been pivotal for the evolution of blockchain across Asia. We are thrilled about this incredible opportunity to expand our products in Korea with the support of the Korean government. Korea’s unparalleled pool of talent and its role as the most influential tech stronghold in Asia make it the perfect place for VaaSBlock to grow its footprint and drive innovation.”
Building Web3 Frameworks for South Korea.
