Overview
What is GIWA?
GIWA (Global Infrastructure for Web3 Access) is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built on the OP Stack by Dunamu, the South Korean company behind Upbit cryptocurrency exchange. The network targets one-second block times and fees in the range of one Korean won, with full EVM compatibility so existing Solidity apps can be deployed without modification.
Dunamu has raised $143.26M in funding and operates Upbit alongside two equity investment platforms, Stockplus and U-Stockplus. GIWA is the company’s on-chain layer for tying that exchange infrastructure to DeFi, stablecoins, real-world assets, and consumer Web3 apps. The L2 is currently live on a public testnet ahead of mainnet launch.
