What Blocko does

Blocko (블로코) is a South Korea-based blockchain Managed Service Provider founded in December 2014 and headquartered in Seongnam-si, operating as BLOCKO Inc. (주식회사 블로코). The company delivers end-to-end blockchain services — consulting, platform selection, design, development, and operations — to large enterprises, financial institutions, and government/public-sector organizations across Korea, China, Japan, and the United States. Its proprietary technology stack centers on COINSTACK (a GS-certified enterprise blockchain platform supporting Bitcoin protocol and EVM), AERGO (a private blockchain using RAFT consensus achieving 10,000+ TPS), and the Advanced Enterprise Manager (AEM), a multi-chain BaaS platform supporting Aergo Enterprise, Aptos, Avalanche, and Hyperledger BESU.

Blocko's product portfolio spans three pillars: AI/no-code Web3 tools led by GEMverse (an AI-powered, ChatGPT-integrated no-code builder for individual and enterprise users); enterprise infrastructure including COINSTACK, AEM, AERGO Lite (IoT-oriented), AERGO TSA (timestamping for the DTT Alliance), and a customized Mainnet Service; and specialized solutions such as DID (decentralized identity), NFT Indexing Service, Pikkle (blockchain e-voting deployed in 93 countries), SILVERMINE (token issuance), and K-BTF (Korea Blockchain Trust Framework developed with KISA). The company has deployed notable customer projects including Samsung Members NFT Membership Airdrop for Asia and Oceania, Woori Bank's integrated NFT platform, Lotte's NFT ticketing and Bulgogi Burger campaigns, Korea Football Association's Baekho Eleven fan loyalty program, and a public rice procurement platform for KISA.

Blocko generates revenue through managed services, subscription/recurring platform licensing (COINSTACK, AEM, GEMverse, SILVERMINE), professional services (consulting, integration, marketing outsourcing), and channel partnerships including the KDAC digital asset custody consortium with Shinhan Bank. With approximately 51-100 employees, 300+ cumulative partner companies, Gartner "Blockchain Pass Player" recognition (twice), and TI-3 technology rating achieved in November 2024, Blocko is pursuing a KOSDAQ listing through the technology-special exception route with Shinhan Investment Securities as lead underwriter, positioning itself as potentially Korea's first listed pure-play blockchain company.

Direct peers

• R3: Enterprise blockchain platform provider behind Corda, targeting banks and regulated institutions with permissioned DLT and integration services — directly comparable to Blocko's COINSTACK and MSP model for financial institutions and government.
• ConsenSys: Ethereum-focused blockchain infrastructure and tooling provider (Infura, MetaMask, Linea). Comparable to Blocko's multi-chain BaaS (AEM) and Web3 tooling (GEMverse, NFT Indexing) across enterprise and developer segments.
• Digital Asset: Enterprise distributed-ledger technology company building the Daml smart contract language and Canton privacy-enabled chain for financial institutions — a direct peer in permissioned enterprise blockchain for capital markets and banking.
• Hedera: Public, enterprise-grade distributed ledger (Hashgraph) with council governance including large corporates. Comparable to AERGO Enterprise as a high-throughput, enterprise-focused chain used for tokenization, identity, and supply-chain applications.
• Kaleido: Enterprise blockchain platform (a ConsenSys spin-off) offering BaaS across multiple chains with managed services for enterprises — directly comparable to Blocko's AEM multi-chain BaaS plus MSP delivery model.

Emerging players

• VeChain: Public enterprise-focused L1 with emphasis on supply chain traceability and sustainability, plus enterprise tools. Comparable to Blocko's permissioned/enterprise stack and DTT Alliance-style consortium use cases for provenance and timestamping.
• Ontology: Public blockchain focused on decentralized identity and data integrity for enterprise. Comparable to Blocko's DID, TSA timestamping, and K-BTF-style identity and verification offerings in APAC.

Regional players

• Qtum: Asia-origin public enterprise blockchain combining Bitcoin UTXO with EVM smart contracts. Comparable to Blocko as an Asian-headquartered enterprise-focused chain, though without Blocko's permissioned MSP focus.

Broad incumbents

• IBM Blockchain: Large incumbent offering enterprise blockchain services built largely on Hyperledger. Competes with Blocko's COINSTACK and MSP business for the same regulated, large-enterprise buyer segment.
• Amazon Managed Blockchain: Hyperscaler-managed blockchain service supporting Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. Competes with AEM as an alternative multi-chain BaaS with global cloud reach and bundled enterprise procurement.
