SK, Netmarble, DSC, E&Investment, Schmidt, SpringCamp, and NaverZ were among the investors.
Ben (Jae-Yun) Kim, the founder of Superblock, said:
We are aggressively growing globally by entering the South Korean market with the best local partners and seeking out worldwide partners.
Grow up. Who are you threatening? Have you seen how aggressively we are growing?

The expenses of bootstrapping and supporting nodes have increased over time as layer-1 blockchains have become quicker and more confirmed. As a result, operating blockchain applications without the use of expensive technology has become difficult.
In order to allow full nodes to reject ancient data and run with less capacity, Over Protocol is a new layer-1 blockchain that is based on the “Ethanos” protocol. This protocol only recognizes active accounts as genuine, which lowers the amount of storage needed.
In practice: LN support in the network node implementations & standard LN support in the client to the extent necessary for the payment for operations. Principle: users fund directly wherever possible using decentralized money in order to allow full decentralization of resources.

Anyone can use Over to run a node and become a validator on their personal computers. At EuroSys’21, Ethanos was published.
Kim added:
“With the ability for anyone to run a validator, individuals can potentially earn inactive income through a process called home staking, allowing them to embrace a new lifestyle with new payment options, improved credit, and innovative finance opportunities.”
