Superblock Rolls Out Crypto Wallet, Garnering Over 680K Pre-Registrants

South Korean blockchain startup Superblock has successfully rolled out its own cryptocurrency wallet, named Over Wallet, according to a report by local news outlet Newsis. The wallet has already amassed over 680,000 pre-registrants since April, ahead of its official release.

Accessibility and cost reduction

Over Wallet serves as the mobile crypto wallet for the Over Protocol, a blockchain mainnet developed based on the paper published by Superblock’s CEO, Kim Jae-yun. The Over Protocol distinguishes itself through its accessibility, offering enterprises interested in the Web3 industry an opportunity to reduce costs associated with infrastructure investment and service operation.
With the introduction of Over Wallet, Superblock empowers users with the capability to collect and manage Over points. The company plans to add functions for the management and transfer of token assets to provide an even more optimized user experience.
Currently, Over Wallet is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Mainnet launch next year

As part of the preparations leading up to the Over Protocol’s mainnet launch in the first half of next year, the Over Community Access Program (OCAP) has also been unveiled. OCAP enables users to earn Over points by completing various tasks. These accumulated points can then be used at the Over Protocol pop-up store, a side event scheduled for the annual blockchain conference, Korea Blockchain Week 2023, taking place in Seoul in September. The event will collaborate with KREAM, a resale and trading platform catering to collectors of limited editions.
Superblock CEO Kim has a notable background, having founded Decipher, a blockchain study group at Seoul National University, in 2018. During the establishment of Superblock, Kim successfully secured funding from investors Spring Camp and Naver Z, both affiliates of the Korean search engine giant Naver.

There has been additional support that underpins Superblock’s commitment to blockchain ventures. Last October, the company partnered with Shinhan Securities for technological cooperation. Subsequently, in February of this year, Superblock raised a Series A funding round of 9 billion KRW ($7 million). Investors in this round include notable names like conglomerate SK Inc., game developer Netmarble, and venture capital firm DSC Investment.
