MetaverseSociety Corp. signed an exclusive partnership with Red Date Technology to operate South Korea’s first Blockchain Services Network portal, according to a Red Date press release shared with CoinDesk.
- Through the portal, South Korean developers will be able to access a localized version of the BSN to build decentralized applications.
- The BSN already runs portals in Hong Kong and Macau.
- The BSN is an “internet of blockchains,” developed by Red Date under the auspices of Chinese government entities, China Mobile, China UnionPay and China State Information Center.
- Seoul-based MetaverseSociety is the blockchain spin-off of IT consultancy CiDOW Corp. Its flagship product is the MarX Project, a decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible token (NFT) platform.
- MetaverseSociety expects that the “BSN will strengthen trust and increase efficiency in the linkage and utilization of global blockchain-based systems,” David DoYoen Kim, the company’s CEO, told CoinDesk. He added that in the mid to long term, public institutions and large corporations will be using private BSNs.
- The network runs through 135 city nodes in China and eight nodes abroad, and offers developers Blockchain-as-a-Service across the majority of major protocols, including Ethereum, EOS, Polkadot, NEO, Tezos, Oasis, Hyperledger Fabric, ConsenSys Quorum and Corda, as well as the ability to connect between different chains.

Specialized AI detects 92% of real-world DeFi exploits
New research claims specialized AI dramatically outperforms general-purpose models at detecting exploited DeFi vulnerabilities.
What to know:
- A purpose-built AI security agent detected vulnerabilities in 92% of 90 exploited DeFi contracts ($96.8 million in exploit value), compared with 34% and $7.5 million for a baseline GPT-5.1-based coding agent running on the same underlying model.
- The gap came from domain-specific security methodology layered on top of the model, not differences in core AI capability, according to the report.
- The findings come as prior research from Anthropic and OpenAI shows AI agents can execute end-to-end smart contract exploits at low cost, accelerating concerns that offensive AI capabilities are scaling faster than defensive adoption.
