Blockchain firm Wemade has added Chainlink Labs to its Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoins (GAKS), enhancing the alliance’s oracle and data infrastructure as South Korea continues to debate stablecoin regulation. The move is aimed at building compliance-ready infrastructure for Korean won-pegged stablecoins rather than issuing tokens directly.
Role of Chainlink in GAKS
Under the new partnership, Chainlink will provide support for data integrity, oracle services, and infrastructure standards. Its technology is expected to enable price feeds, onchain verification, and data-driven functions commonly required by institutional-grade digital asset systems. Wemade said the focus is on standardization and giving alliance members access to reliable oracle frameworks.
Launched in November 2025, GAKS includes partners such as Chainalysis for monitoring and threat detection, CertiK for security audits, and SentBe for regulated remittance services. The alliance supports StableNet, a dedicated mainnet for KRW-backed stablecoins, while deliberately avoiding issuer responsibilities.
Regulatory Uncertainty Shapes Approach
South Korean authorities remain divided on stablecoin issuer eligibility and oversight, with concerns around capital flows and foreign exchange controls. By prioritizing infrastructure over issuance, GAKS positions itself to adapt quickly once regulatory clarity emerges, reducing exposure to unresolved policy risks.
