At a press conference held on the 13th at BEXCO in Busan during 'G-Star 2025', CEO Jang stated, "We have met a great team committed to developing a Web3 messenger, and we plan to make it one of our main businesses next year to expand the ecosystem."

He cited KakaoTalk as an example of how it eliminated resistance among seniors to internet banking, and added, "A Web3 messenger will make it easier to install cryptocurrency wallets and to send, receive, and pay with digital assets."

Regarding the Web3 browser business, he emphasized, "The core is enabling users to be rewarded for their personal data through blockchain technology." He continued, "Platform and web service companies currently profit from advertising based on users' personal information, search history, and order records. In a fair business model, users should also receive a share of the revenue."

He also revealed plans to launch more than five MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) linked to the blockchain platform 'Cross'. CEO Jang stressed, "Some of these titles have already performed better than 'Rohan 2', which was released recently, or are expected to do so. We will pursue both platform advancement and game launches as our two main pillars."

Nexth recently launched the beta version of its new title 'Shout' on Telegram. The company plans to officially launch the game through the 'Line' ecosystem and is also preparing university and offline events in Japan to target the Japanese market.

Additionally, CEO Jang commented on Verse8, an AI-based game development platform with which Nexth has signed an exclusive partnership, saying, "Last month, our monthly active users (MAU) surpassed 3 million," and added, "We are currently raising funds at a level seven times higher than the pre-seed investment amount."
