ZEKTO, a company specializing in AI and stablecoin infrastructure solutions, announced on the 16th that it has secured a patent for core technology that maintains the price stability of stablecoins.


The patent secured by ZEKTO (Patent No. 10-2025-96628) is for "Blockchain-based collateralized stablecoin operation management technology," designed to stably maintain the market price of stablecoins by combining real-time valuation of collateral assets with automated issuance and burning mechanisms.


Automatic Liquidation & Burning upon Sudden Drop in Collateral Value… Preventing Recurrence of the Terra-Luna Incident


The core of this patent is an operational algorithm where the system automatically responds to market fluctuations.


It is designed to calculate the issuable amount by simultaneously analyzing the real-time internal value of the collateral asset and the external market price, issuing stablecoins only when the standard collateral ratio is met.


In particular, if the collateral value drops below a certain level, the system automatically issues a warning, and if it falls below the threshold, it automatically liquidates a portion of the collateral assets or burns stablecoins to maintain the stability of the entire system.


Because this process is executed based on smart contracts, it can respond swiftly to market risks without administrator intervention.


Complex Analysis of Real-Time Price, Trading Volume, and Volatility… Strengthening Resistance to Price Manipulation


ZEKTO's technology features an internal valuation model that combines multiple market indicators rather than a simple price-pegging method.


It strengthens resistance against short-term price distortion and potential market manipulation by calculating the internal value of collateral assets based on various data such as real-time price, trading volume, volatility, and Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP).


It also includes a structure that continuously monitors external exchange prices and automatically executes liquidity expansion or contraction measures if the price deviates from the standard range.


It is designed to perform liquidity contraction measures such as issuance restrictions or burning when the price falls, and conversely, to maintain market balance through automatic issuance or providing incentives when the price rises.


Entry into Institutional Finance by Internalizing KYC·AML… Attracting Attention from Banks and PG Companies


The reason this patent is attracting attention from B2B financial institutions such as commercial banks and large PG companies is that it internalizes compliance, which is an essential requirement of institutional finance.


ZEKTO's system is equipped with Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification, and abnormal transaction detection functions, enabling it to immediately block transaction requests that violate regulations or are deemed suspicious.


The industry evaluates the automated structure that integrates collateral valuation, issuance management, and liquidity control into a single system as a core technology capable of enhancing the stability of stablecoins in real financial environments.


Valued at 20 Billion KRW… Entering Bridge Investment Round


ZEKTO, which is expanding its Web3 ecosystem centered on the blockchain mainnet 'KONET' developed purely with domestic technology, was valued at 20 billion KRW in its initial Seed investment round.


Starting with securing this core patent, ZEKTO plans to earnestly enter the Bridge investment round and take the lead in the blockchain payment infrastructure market.


LEE Yu-Jin, CEO of ZEKTO, stated, "For stablecoins to establish themselves as global financial infrastructure, operational technology and compliance that operate stably even in volatile market situations, beyond a simple collateral structure, are essential."


CEO LEE Yu-Jin added, "We plan to expand a next-generation Web3 payment ecosystem where consumers can safely use blockchain technology without even realizing it, through future collaborations with various commerce companies, offline stores, and payment network operators."
