Backed by DaeguChain, Korea’s 4th-largest city deployment, ImFact unveils ‘Blockchain Anywhere’ infrastructure for the AI era
- Category innovation: World’s first Personal Blockchain and On-Device Blockchain technologies unveiled.
- Market scope: New blockchain types designed for 6.8 billion smartphones and an expanding IoT ecosystem.
Seoul, South Korea, June 19, 2025 – As artificial intelligence transforms global industries and synthetic data becomes indistinguishable from reality across digital commerce, autonomous systems, and critical infrastructure, brand-new L1 mainnet project ImFact today unveiled Personal Blockchain and On-Device Blockchain, two entirely new categories of blockchain technology designed to realize the team’s “Blockchain Anywhere” vision. These innovations represent the first implementations of next-generation DePIN infrastructure specifically architected to verify universal data authenticity in the AI era.
Revolutionary DePIN Infrastructure for the AI Era
Personal Blockchain establishes individual blockchain instances operating natively within smartphones, enabling users to instantly verify photo authenticity for social media fraud prevention, prove document originality for legal proceedings, and conduct secure offline transactions during network outages. Each world’s 6.8 billion smartphones become a personal blockchain-powered environment, creating the foundation for the world’s largest distributed verification network.
On-Device Blockchain embeds standalone blockchain instances directly into IoT hardware, including security cameras, autonomous vehicles, industrial sensors, and smart appliances. This enables autonomous vehicles to prove real-time sensor data integrity for accident investigations, security cameras to guarantee tamper-proof footage for legal evidence, and medical IoT devices to provide verifiable patient data for healthcare decisions. Unlike existing DePIN approaches relying on external validation, On-Device Blockchain creates cryptographically verifiable trust within hardware.
Both innovations operate independently while maintaining cryptographic security through ImFact’s proprietary Station technology that provides seamless integration with the L1 mainnet, building a global trust infrastructure where every connected device participates in comprehensive data verification.
Proven Technology Ready for Commercial Deployment
ImFact’s blockchain categories build on six years of proprietary development. The underlying technology has been battle-tested through DaeguChain, which is operated by Daegu, Korea’s fourth-largest city. It serves 2.5 million residents and demonstrates enterprise-grade reliability and scalability.
Personal Blockchain operates through MyChain and Fact Stamp mobile applications (Android launched November 2024, iOS in development), enabling users to manage blockchain instances locally. On-Device Blockchain has completed MVP implementation in security camera systems, with chip-level integration planned throughout 2025.
ImFact currently operates Testnet 2.0 for both technologies, demonstrating network stability across 97+ countries and 50,000+ users. Early adopters can participate through device mining rewards and verification incentives, creating new revenue streams for participants. The L1 mainnet launch, scheduled for Q4 2025, enables immediate commercial deployment.
Leadership Team and Strategic Vision
ImFact’s innovations are led by Professor Minkyu Je (KAIST, former Samsung Electronics Principal Research Engineer) who spearheads hardware blockchain integration essential for device-native implementation. Professor Yasin Ceran (San Jose State University, Stanford Medical School AI research partner) leads Personal Blockchain integration with healthcare data management, developing privacy-preserving solutions for secure personal health data verification. David Woong Jin Yoon (former Gravity CEO who led NASDAQ listing and $1 billion SoftBank acquisition) oversees strategic market introduction and global expansion.
San Jun, Ecosystem Builder: “Personal Blockchain and On-Device Blockchain represent our answer to the ‘Blockchain Anywhere’ challenge. By directly embedding blockchain technology into existing device infrastructure, we enable blockchain functionality wherever computing capability exists.”
