Hashed Open Finance, a subsidiary of crypto venture capital firm Hashed, has launched Maroo—a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for the Korean won (KRW) economy. The platform aims to merge regulatory compliance with decentralized finance by offering controlled auditing and privacy features while maintaining public accessibility.

Transaction fees on Maroo will be settled in KRW-pegged stablecoins, mitigating volatility and lowering barriers to adoption. The project draws inspiration from existing scalable networks like Plasma, which achieved $5.6 billion in total value locked (TVL) within a week of launch, but emphasizes sovereign requirements: interoperability with ethereum and Solana for global liquidity, zero-knowledge proofs for verifiable privacy, and adaptive regulatory frameworks.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
