In a move to reshape the blockchain landscape, Klaytn and Finschia have received the green light for their merger. This strategic union aims to establish the largest blockchain ecosystem in Asia. 

The merger has gained overwhelming support from each foundation, with 95% approval from Finschia and 90% from Klaytn. The new network is set to host around 420 dApps with over 45 governance member partners, propelling the adoption of Web3 tech. 

A joint task force will be formed to integrate the two blockchain networks, resulting in a single mainnet. This effort aims to merge the two chains and establish an integrated foundation in Abu Dhabi by the second quarter of this year.

The unified platform will emphasize greater decentralization with support for both Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Cosmos WebAssembly (CosmWasm). What's more, the merger will launch a new token ($PDT) to replace $KLAY and $FNSA. This move aims to foster a more transparent governance model, improving engagement across the ecosystem. 

"There was no one blockchain network that represented the Asian market, and the level of community participation had much to be desired," said Youngsu Ko, Chairman of the Finschia Foundation Council. "We plan to build Asia's largest blockchain ecosystem with the diverse opinions from our partners and community that we gathered during the merger proposal process."

"In the process of fine-tuning the merge proposal, we have seen how much positive change can be made through sincere communication with ecosystem participants," said Sam Seo, Representative Director at Klaytn Foundation. "As we emphasized during the proposal process, together we will build Asia's best blockchain ecosystem that will create greater future value."
