CIP-00XX: Add LECCA Ventures as a SV of Weight 1
- Dear GSF Members,
Please find below our proposal, “CIP-00XX: Add LECCA Ventures as a SV of Weight 1”, open for discussion.
LECCA Ventures has already engaged directly with decision-makers at 10+ Korean banks and securities firms, and we are well positioned to convert this pipeline into near-term Canton activations, supported by Korean-language operations and runbooks.
Digital Asset is backing this proposal as sponsor, and we are now seeking an SV endorser to proceed.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments and/or suggestions.Here on GitHub: https://github.com/hyungjuneahn/cips/blob/lecca-sv-cip/cip-XXXX-Governance/cip-XXXX-Governance.mdBest regards,
HJ Ahn, GP

- Facilitate participation of Korean banks and securities firms through localized onboarding, Korean-language operations, regulatory guidance, and validator hosting.
- Establish a Validator-as-a-Service offering for Korean institutions within 6 months, and publish supporting blueprints and runbooks in Korean.
- Achieve onboarding of at least one Korean financial institution to mainnet by 180 days from CIP approval.
- Note, any increase beyond Weight 1 will be proposed via a separate Adjust Weight CIP.
- LECCA Ventures has already engaged one-on-one with key decision-makers at 10+ Korean banks and securities firms; a detailed institution list can be shared separately with sponsors and endorsers.
- Korea is one of the most active digital-asset markets, with regulatory momentum around stablecoins and tokenized securities (STO) creating a near-term window for adoption.
- Korean institutions are actively seeking production-grade implementation blueprints and runbooks, a clear commercial model with defined roles, and proven use cases beyond repos and bonds (e.g., cross-border settlement, supply-chain financing, corporate FX, and stablecoin settlement).
- LECCA, a Seoul-based operator, offering local language and time-zone coverage materially reduces time-to-activation for Korean institutions.
- LECCA Ventures is a Seoul-based, crypto-native venture firm with an in-house validator operations arm.
- Starting at Weight 1 is appropriate for an entry SV focused on Korean institutional onboarding and operations, with any increase to be proposed through an Adjust Weight CIP based on demonstrated deliverables and successful onboardings.

Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify — we’ve had separate discussions with Yuval on this, and would appreciate it if you consider it positively and align internally.We’re also hosting a private Canton briefing today in Seoul, where Korean institutions will be engaging directly with Yuval — he’ll be joining the session as a speaker. - Hi James,
Thanks for your willingness to endorse the CIP — really appreciate it.
Apologies for the confusion above; just to clarify, we do have sponsorship support from Yuval, and I’ll make sure to align clearly with Eric as well so there’s no further miscommunication.
