According to the <a href="https://news.sktelecom.com/179596" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announcement</a>, SKT wants to build a wallet that can hold a variety of virtual assets including <a href="https://www.nftgators.com/what-is-an-nft/">non-fungible tokens (NFTs)</a>, digital IDs, and cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Klayton. 
The wallet will utilise Atomrigs multi-party computation (MPC) encryption technology to enhance the security of assets. 
Announcing the partnership via a post on X, SK Telecom said the wallet is part of its commitment “to delivering a seamless and secure Web3 experience for users.”&nbsp;
