QuickNode offers top-tier blockchain infrastructure solutions, while LG CNS excels in digital transformation, specializing in client-centric DX, cloud services, AI, big data, and web3. This synergy is poised to catalyze pioneering digital advancements in the APAC region.

Min Bae, VP of Security Solutions at LG CNS, asserts that this partnership will establish a robust blockchain foundation across APAC, starting with South Korea, enabling LG CNS to deliver advanced blockchain solutions to its clientele.

Alexander Nabutovsky, QuickNode’s Co-founder and co-CEO, states, “This collaboration is more than just a partnership; it’s the merging of technological visions.
