On May 17, "Seoul Daily" introduced "Zkrypto" as a professor-led start-up company that CES paid attention to amid the increasing number of successful cases of professor founders.

Founded by Oh Hyun-ok, a professor at the Department of Information systems at Hanyang University, Zkrypto won the "Best of Innovation" award at “CES 2023”, the world's largest home appliance and information technology (IT) festival, through the "zKvoting" service.

If a voter click and select one of the several candidates in the app, the voter's identity is completely hidden through the blockchain, and the voter can check whether his or her vote is properly reflected in the counting on the blockchain. Kinsey Fabrizio, senior vice president of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), who is also the organizer, praised "zKvoting," saying, "It is one of the three technologies that will solve the problems humanity is facing."
