Cyworld to relaunch with October beta as Sigmachain seeks to restore 17 billion records
Cyworld will resume service starting with a beta launch in October. Its new operator, blockchain technology company Sigmachain, said it has acquired Cyworld-related intellectual property, trademarks and user data, and will prioritise restoring about 17 billion existing user records. The company plans to stabilise the service and launch a full version in the first half of 2027. It is also reviewing revenue models using NFTs and stablecoins, while legal disputes remain a potential variable.
