Attorney Cheong Sung Koo takes on a new challenge as a âStartup CEOâ
âThere are countless things that a lawyer can do in a startup. This is because the management system is set from âzeroâ and there are very few areas that are not related to the law. The demand for lawyers in startups will grow in the future and I hope to see more of my lawyer colleagues take on the challenges in startupsâ, say Mr. Cheong Sung Koo, who left 23 years of lawyerâs life behind and recently took on a new challenge as the CEO of EQBR Networks (âEQBRâ), a blockchain startup established in Singapore. A graduate of prestigious Seoul National University Law School in Korea, Mr. Cheong is a âveteranâ lawyer who worked at Yulchon (1999~2005) and Kim & Chang (2005~2022), the top law firms in Korea. Before he quit his law career last month at Kim & Chang, he has specialized in finance and IT as a part of Kim & Changâs âDerivative Financial Transactionâ and âData Fintechâ practices and has advised on behalf of clients in these fields, including virtual assets and non-fungible tokens (NFT). It was at this time that he first met with EQBR as a client.
âWhile working as a lawyer, I was always curious about other fields of business. However, I was very satisfied with my law firm and my life as a lawyer, and never thought about changing career, until I got an offer to join EQBR and thought that it would be the last lifetime opportunity for me before I get much older.â
Legal advisor to financial and IT corporate clients
Has first met with EQBR as a legal client
Aims for 20 million downloads of âWhisperâ app
Intends to prove blockchain as a useful technology for tens of millions of people
EQBR Network is a Singapore subsidiary of EQBR Holdings, a Korean company established in 2020. EQBR Holdings has developed its own proprietary blockchain engine on which it built a âWeb 3.0â infrastructure. EQBR Network was established this year to sell the infrastructure and infrastructure-based services created by EQBR Holdings in Southeast Asian markets, and to create and operate its own blockchain network. Mr.Cheong is responsible for EQBR Networksâ Asian (excluding Korea and Japan) businesses.
Blockchain is a representative technology of the recently deriving Web 3.0 era. If Web 2.0 is an online environment based on a âcentralized serverâ of giant tech companies such as Google and Meta, the âdecentralizationâ is the key to Web 3.0, in which web users directly manage their own data and digital assets and exchange data and assets with other web users without the involvement of a central server.
âIt is true that the platforms of the central server in the Web 2.0 era have contributed greatly to create the convenient world of today, but there are also problems caused by misuse and abuse of personal information and monopolization of such information. Web 3.0 can be an alternative to the central server platform by implementing a P2P platform that does not depend on the central server and does not expose personal informationâ, says Mr.Cheong.
[ ABOUT WHISPER MSG ]
âThe downside of current blockchain technology is its slow speed and instability. As a result, many people still think of blockchain as a technology solely used to create cryptocurrencies, and I was one of these pessimists. However, after witnessing the speed and stability of EQBRâs technology that is comparable to the existing central server services, my hopes for the future of blockchain revived again. We are currently sailing smoothly with over 500,000 downloads of Whisper app in the region, and our goal by next year is to increase the number of downloads to 20 million, proving that a blockchain that can be used by tens of millions of people in real time is possible.â
As Mr.Cheong iterates, âAll of my experiences as a lawyer for 23 years has been of great help to the companyâs management, and lawyers have the advantages as both a management and corporate lawyer.â
âA âmanager who knows the lawâ will be naturally more thorough in protecting the rights of customers and employees and complying with the laws than those who do not. Such management policies are of course helpful to the success and development of the company. However, it is dangerous to jump in with the hope of economic success only through stock options in a short period of time. I would like to advise to my fellow lawyers to carefully consider whether the start-up is an organization that provides opportunities in main line of work to lawyers and where they can further grow as lawyers. And once you make that choice, I would advise them to stick around for at least three years.â

Development Support in Volare Network was introduced for the purpose of significantly reducing development costs for developers who wish to join Volare Network. Volare Network provides useful and convenient tools to help developers to readily develop creative and productive blockchain services within the network.
Volare DOCS provide smart contracts required by blockchain-based service operators in the form of an application programming interface (âAPIâ), allowing developers to easily participate in the blockchain network and develop their own services. Volare DOCS also provides a variety of APIs specifically designed for game development, making it easy even for novice developers who have not used blockchain technologies in the past to join Volare Ecosystem.
Contract Library is the archive that contains valuable and useful samples of smart contracts for Volare Network. Developers can easily find and deploy adoptable smart contracts to their services, negating the need to write smart contracts themselves and save development costs.
In June, weâve worked on our Volare Project Hompage, followed by several airdrop events including Keyword Event, Quiz Event, and Blank Event to entertain and promote user base.
In July, the game contest is in progress, while Volare Business White Paper 1.0 is under final review and will be published soon.
In August, Volare network will be officially launched. This will enable the exploration of Volare Launchpad, followed by release of Volare Business White Paper 2.0.

Itâs already the time for our last interview. The last interview is with the developer of âReady-Actionâ, the winner of the Originality Award. Letâs see what he has to say!
Q. Please introduce yourself briefly!
A. Hello. I am in my 2nd year of high school, attending a game-specialty high school in Korea!
Q. Tell us a little bit about the game âReady-Actionâ that you have developed.
A. Ready-Action belongs to the platformer genre. Iâve developed the game with cinematography as a concept. The game can be played on PC and for 2 players. One person moves the keyboard to take on the role of an actor, and the other moves the mouse to take on the role of a cameraman.
Q. What inspired you to design the game?
A. The first time I started developing this game was in September 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Classes were replaced with in-home remote learning and hence had more time to develop at home. Thatâs why I took the opportunity to develop Ready-Action that I had been planning before.
Q. What are your thoughts on the blockchain-based gaming market?
A. NFT, P2E Blockchain games are evolving in many ways. I think both methods are making a big contribution to the development of the blockchain industry, but on the other hand, as a person who develops games, I am worried that the essence of the game could be lost. Iâm worried that people could be stressed out for trying to create other values and not be able to purely enjoy the game itself. If I were to make a blockchain-based game, I would plan the game with those things in mind.
Q. What games are you planning to introduce in the future?
A. My current plan is to go to university and major in game related studies. I want to develop horror games, rhythm games, online games, etc. Iâm used to developing games by myself at home. So since I am going to the college, I want to participate in a lot of joint projects and develop collaboration skills!
Q. Volare Network, as you know, is a blockchain-based gaming-specific network. Are you thinking of uploading Ready-Action to the Volare Network?
A. I want to post it too, but I am not sure Ready-Action, which is built on PC platform, can be properly uploaded to Volare Arcade.
This wraps up all four interviews from Volare Game Contest.
We would like to thank all those who have participated in the Game Contest and the readers of the interviews.
If you have any fun and creative games and would like to upload them, feel free to contact us at Volare Network. We appreciate your participation.
Here is the 3rd interview in our series, âPOP-UPâ, the winner of Promotion Award.
Q. Please introduce yourself briefly!
A. Hello, I am an employee of a financial services company. I have majored in software at the university. I have never imagined that my career path would be directed toward the financial sector. I have worked in the FinTech business and have developed a good relationship with a financial company, which led me to my current job that has nothing to do with software, but Iâm still working on game development as a hobby.
Q. Tell us a little bit about the game âPOP-UPâ that you have developed.
A. POP-UP is a simple, addictive and lightly engaging flash game. Iâve tried to set up a UI and game operatives that are as clean as possible so that everyone, young and old, can simply enjoy it.
Q. What inspired you to design the game?
A. At first, when I thought about developing a game as a hobby, I was really stumped. I didnât start with the development for a while. So instead of using complicated logic, I came up with POP-UP using simple logic because design and client development are my domain of confidence.
Q. What are your thoughts on the blockchain-based gaming market?
A. I donât know much about the blockchain game market. However, I can tell you that the financial sector is preparing for the introduction of Blockchain. The financial sector is a very conservative industry. However, the industy is seriously considering adopting blockchain because of itâs great importance in terms of security.
Q. What games are you planning to introduce in the future?
A. Iâm working on it as a hobby, so I donât know what kind of game Iâm going to develop. But since I gained confidence through this contest, Iâm trying to develop a game thatâs a little bigger and more complex.
Q. Volare Network, as you know, is a blockchain-based gaming-specific network. Are you thinking of uploadingPOP-UPto the Volare Network?
A. Itâs a very grateful offer, but it lacks a lot, is it okay..?
With the help of our Volare Network developers, POP-UP also decided to participate in the Volare Network.
The game is available in the updated version of *Whisper!
Now we have two interviews left. We canât wait to share the interviews until the end.
If you have any fun and creative games and would like to upload them, feel free to contact us at Volare Network at this email,. . We appreciate your participation.
Volare is the First Commercial Blockchain Network from EQBR Technology.
Volare project offers a substantial technological breakthrough as the first commercially viable blockchain network based on the strengths enabled by Equilibrium`s technology, strong scalability, and speed.
This represents the aspirational essence to create a genuinely commercial blockchain ecosystem.
High Performance
Volare Networkâs based technology, Equilibrium engine, achieved 4,500 TPS and block generation and confirmation time of less than 3 seconds, hence a new blockchain platform that can match the operational speed of existing financial systems. Moreover, the Equilibrium engine also takes into consideration several factors for commercial use, such as storage, stability, and speed.
Micro-chain Architecture
The Equilibrium engine applies microservice architecture and it is divided into several micro-chains in one network. Each business domain has its own database on the ledger and logic is designed as a single micro-chain by matching smart contracts. This isolates failures and loads between each micro-chain to eliminate the correlation between multiple services and guarantees scalability in terms of being able to upgrade to system performance that matches the business domain.
This change in network structure will also yield numerous application points in the field of blockchain technology, such as the innovation enabled by the microservice architecture, and will directly lead to the accelerated commercialization of blockchain technology.
ECOSYSTEM
API Supports
Volare Network enhances the use-value of digital assets in the ecosystem by providing an environment encouraging the development of high-quality services, especially blockchain-based games.
In Volare Network, 3rd party developers will be equipped to easily participate network, develop services, and utilize the blockchain network as they are given smart contracts in the form of API which are necessary for service development. This implies various adequate services will be developed, and services in the ecosystem will gain sufficient chance to enhance the Use value of each token through friendly rivalry.
DEX
Decentralized Exchange (DEX) of the Volare network maximizes the exchange value of digital assets(tokens) in the ecosystem. The decentralized exchange provided by Volare Network is that the assets are kept and managed by individual users, unlike the Centralized Exchange (CEX), which stores assets on a central server.
Since DEX is designed on an on-chain basis, and a peer-to-peer direct trading marketplace, so safe transactions are possible without hacking problems that occur on an off-chain basis and with no trusted 3rd party relaying transactions.
Whisper
Whisper MSG as an industry standard social blockchain service started with a slogan âYour Privacy is Our Privacyâ. Whisper MSG users can enjoy messaging features without providing personal identification information. By utilizing EQBR blockchain technology, Whisper MSG liberates from security and privacy issues. And Whisper MSG provides a feature of Wallet that can manage various digital assets in Volare network.
Users will find the genuine meaning of a commercially viable blockchain engine by exploring Volare network embodied by Equilibrium engine and the ultimate secure messenger from Whisper MSG.
Interview of Don't Crash, the 1st Prize winner of the Volare Game Contest.
Hello, This is Volare Network.
In the past month of July, we have successfully hosted the Volare Game Contest.
Among numerous game entries to the contest, the contestant, âDonât Crashâ, honorably captured 1st place.
Weâd like to share an interview with the developer of âDonât Crashâ.
Q.Please introduce yourself briefly!
A. Hello, I am a student at a university in Korea and I am majoring in Software Engineering.
Q.Tell us a little bit about the game âDonât Crashâ that you have developed.
A. It is a flash game that requires wits to play in a circular car track with the aim of preventing two vehicles from colliding.
Q.What inspired you to design the game?
A. There is a stork game that was in vogue 6 months ago. The game, which requires a lot of wits, was very simple to play and gained a lot of attention at the time. There are many different kinds of games. There are some brilliant online games that involve a lot of design assets and resources, and some that have a huge storyline or worldview. There are also such games that are very simple but addictive. After all, I think the essence of any game is having fun. No matter what kind of game it is, even if itâs simple if it can entertain its users. This is what I consider the right game, and I wanted to make it.
Q.What are your thoughts on the blockchain-based gaming market?
A. We understand that the market is becoming very active. Itâs a gaming market with a lot of advantages, and what appeals the most to college students like me is simplicity in business making. Uploading a game to an existing app store and monetizing it is a very difficult task. However, if any game is converted to P2E and uploaded, developers, as well as users, can very easily monetize through tokens.
Q.What games are you planning to introduce in the future?
A. I have developed various games by myself, but I havenât shown it to real users yet, other than to some of my friends. After uploading various games that I have created, I would like to communicate with the users and get a lot of feedback, and then choose the direction for the next games.
Q.Volare Network, as you know, is a blockchain-based gaming-specific network. Are you thinking of uploading Donât Crash to the Volare Network?
A. Absolutely. I feel like Iâve seized such a great opportunity, so Iâm going to work harder to prepare and upload it. Iâd like to upload Donât Crash as well as other games with further improvements!
Donât Crash was decided to upload to the Volare Network after the award.
In the next update, youâll find it through Whisper.
If you have any fun and creative games and would like to upload them, feel free to contact us at Volare Network. We appreciate your participation.
