Background of the Partnership

PAYCLE is developing "UPCX", a high-speed blockchain optimized for payment and financial services, with the goal of improving data management and payment solutions through blockchain integration.

To provide innovative blockchain-based services and products to both domestic and international markets, a robust and high-speed blockchain infrastructure combined with deep technical expertise is essential.

This business alliance was established to co-create innovative businesses by merging PAYCLE’s blockchain technical capabilities and specialized knowledge with fantasista’s expertise in planning and promoting new businesses centered on the real estate sector.
