 KT will apply the cloud - based BaaS ( Blockchain as a Service ) platform to its in - house services for the first time in the Korean business community . 
 KT said Thursday that it had developed the cloud - based BaaS platform to offer an environment in which domestic companies can develop blockchain services easily . KT plans to apply the platform to its in - house services first . 
 The KT BaaS platform will enable users to create blockchain nodes on uCloud automatically without building separate servers . Companies exploiting this function can cut costs and shorten the development period for applying blockchain through the KT BaaS platform . 
 The KT BaaS platform will provide application programming interface ( API ) so that users can embody and employ smart contracts easily without professional developers while supporting various control functions to ensure that services can be operational stably . 
 With the development of the BaaS platform , KT is fully ready to compete against international IT giants such as Microsoft Azure , IBM and Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) in the blockchain BaaS market . 
 After a pilot service in February , KT plans to launch the service officially for outside companies wishing to develop blockchain in March . / minsy @ decenter . kr
