SK Telecom's view of Web 3
SK Telecom ("SKT") is a South Korean telecommunications company that aims to become an "AI Company" by adding AI technology to its telecommunications infrastructure to benefit its customers.
In addition, SKT has been preparing for the Web 3 market for a long time.
With TopPort, an NFT marketplace, T wallet, a digital wallet to lead the popularization of Web 3, and T wallet mainnet, a more efficient blockchain network, we are moving forward step by step for the value chain of Web 3.
Among them, we would like to tell the story of our collaboration with T wallet and ARGOS eKYC.
T wallet is a web-based digital asset wallet that aims to democratize web3. It has several features that make it different from traditional digital asset wallets.
Web-based digital asset wallet.
As a web app-based wallet, it does not require a separate download and can be used in various environments.
KYC (Know Your Customer) based wallet
Provides a secure and authenticated user-owned wallet with Korean pass-based authentication and global ARGOS KYC authentication. This allows you to know exactly who is using your wallet, secure recovery phrase backups, and manage access rights.
Secure MPC-based key share restore support
The biggest issue with digital asset wallets is that users have to manage their own 'recovery phrases'. In this process, there are many cases where the phrase is accidentally exposed or lost, resulting in the loss of assets. T wallet's KYC-authorized wallets are free from the risk of key loss through Secure MPC-based key share recovery support.
Supports various user convenience features
T-Wallet has built-in dApps. It simultaneously supports various functions for users' Web 3 usage, such as chat for users to communicate with each other within the wallet, swap through Bridge, on-chain information through Cryptoquant, and research materials through Popilus.

Launching T wallet and authenticating with ARGOS
Interview: Jongyoon Ho, Manager / Web3 Business Team
"With ARGOS, we were able to easily solve global eKYC and focus on the T wallet core. Especially since the eKYC process is very complex, the onboarding process that guided us through the integration of the ARGOS service reduced our development time even more. I would recommend it to anyone who is preparing eKYC on their service for the first time. "
Assessment of ARGOS eKYC service:
Global Accessibility: The ability to recognize and validate international passports and IDs makes it an ideal solution for a diverse user base.
Resource Efficiency: Requires very few resources from the development team, allowing core product development and innovation to proceed quickly.
Customer Onboarding: High engagement and quick response during the customer onboarding process has improved the overall customer experience.
ARGOS eKYC via [Sign up with Passport] button in T wallet
Once you start signing up with your 'passport' on the T wallet service, the verification process via ARGOS eKYC will begin. If you are on a PC, you can go through eKYC directly on your mobile by scanning the QR code that appears on the screen. You don't need to install any apps, and you only need to prepare your 'passport' to verify your identity.
All the complex eKYC processes such as [ID card recognition] → [Data verification] → [ Comparison via selfie] → [Fake detection] are all built-in and operated in ARGOS eKYC, and T Wallet can complete the membership process based on the final result'.
T Wallet managers can freely customize the process and see what users have gone through through the dashboard provided by ARGOS.
Once authenticated, users are automatically created a wallet and can use Ethereum and Polygon together with the T wallet Mainnet.
