Whisper, the Web3 wallet and secure messaging platform, will present a new ecosystem built around its signature app during Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul. According to reports from the company, Chairman Paulus J. Lee, who also founded Whisper, will deliver a keynote speech at 4:40 p.m. on September 30 at Grand Walkerhill, during the public conference days of September 30 and October 1. Korea Blockchain Week runs from September 29 to October 1 at Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts, with the main conference following the invite-only Upbit Institutional Summit on September 29.
The Whisper MSG app is available for free download via the Apple App Store and Google Play, with over 1.38 million downloads to date. As reported by the company, the current build includes end-to-end encrypted messaging that uses private keys; a multi-chain wallet with support for more than 10 blockchains and over 100 assets; instant token swaps compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine; a feed covering project alerts and Web3 news; and a curated store for DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, and NFT dApps. Users can register with a unique address rather than a phone number or email, with messages encrypted and removed after receipt confirmation.
The blockchain technology behind Whisper is protected by US Patent No. 12,586,064 B2, which was granted to EQBR Holdings in March 2026. According to the company, the system uses a micro-chain architecture and a non-competitive consensus method, allowing separate services to run independently. During testing, this design has produced confirmation times of three seconds and up to 4,500 transactions per second (TPS) in throughput on a single micro-chain. The product is powered by EQBR's Equilibrium blockchain engine and can operate on low-power hardware, as demonstrated during a separate demonstration on a Raspberry Pi.
EQBR has already implemented Whisper's stack in commercial settings, handling real-time, fully on-chain peer-to-peer payments at the Jeju Food & Wine Festival on Jeju Island from 2023 through 2025, in partnership with local institution Jeju Bank. As reported by the company, Whisper's payment system facilitated purchases and digital gift voucher redemptions at over 200 restaurants throughout the festival. Chairman Paulus J. Lee, who has over 30 years of games and digital content experience and is considered a founding father of the sector, stated that the app is designed for everyday Web3 users who want to message, pay, and swap tokens in one place without thinking about the blockchain chain.
