Klaytn (KLAY)
Basics
"South Korean messaging giant Kakao’s “klay” token – the native cryptocurrency of its recently launched Klaytn blockchain – is soon to make its first official exchange listing on Upbit’s platform." Ground X, the firm set up by Kakao to develop the Klaytn network, announced the news in a Medium post.
The auction will run for 12 hours, or until a yet-to-be-determined hard cap is hit. Subsequently, successful bidders will receive their klays on Sept. 19. A klay/bitcoin trading pair will be enabled at a future date.
The exchange added that Upbit and Klaytn won’t profit from the auction and Upbit will “redistribute all proceeds” to users in the future.
Kakao has not responded to questions from CoinDesk regarding how it plans to redistribute the proceeds and how much klay cryptocurrency it will make available for the auction. The exchange did say a total of 10 billion klay will be distributed through to 2021 in monthly tranches ranging from 29 million to 278 million tokens."
