Shinhan Card and Dunamu pilot offline blockchain payments on Giwa Chain
- —Pilot runs at a store on the basement floor of Shinhan Card's Seoul headquarters
- —Payments use tokens issued by Shinhan Card on Giwa Chain, with Dunamu supporting the network
- —Onchain 'Dojang' certification verifies employee status and wallet permissions
- —First time a Korean card issuer tests Giwa Wallet in a real payment setting
Why it matters: The trial will show whether public blockchains are ready for retail payments in Korea and what is needed for commercialization once rules are in place.
