The Scale of LINE Platform After 10 Years
The conference kicked off with CTO and Director Euivin Park’s keynote addresss on the company’s past, present and future initiatives to solve problems amidst continual changes in the internal and external business environment . Park began by contrasting the LINE app when it first launched 10 years ago to the huge platform it is now, offering a plethora of services to nearly 200 million monthly users. Park also demonstrated the complexities and challenges LINE faces on a technical level through several massive numbers:
• 400,000 – the number of LINE message requests the server receives per second
• 2.48 million – the number of channels opened on LINE, such as LINE Official Accounts
• 72 billion – the number of connections between LINE users or node-links
• 11 petabytes – the amount of media data (such as images and videos) exchanged by users each day

HyperCLOVA
Park then passed the baton to Shinichiro Isago, CEO of LINE AI Company, who presented the latest developments in HyperCLOVA, including a demonstration of HyperCLOVA Studio’s ability to generate smooth, natural sentences based on context from a small amount of data. In the demo, Isago asked HyperCLOVA Studio to generate a creative marketing description based on product specifications. Isago also showed how a user can adjust settings such as “Temperature”, “Repetition Penalty”, and “Maximum Tokens”, to fine-tune the results. HyperCLOVA Studio will be offered as a service to e-commerce sites looking to generate product explanations and copywriting about their products/services. The company is planning to pre-open to developers for trials and testing soon.

LINE Blockchain
Yusuke Yoneyama, LVC Corporation executive officer, concluded the keynote session with the latest news on the LINE’s Blockchain NFT Market. Since August 2020, LVC has operated LINE BITMAX Wallet, a digital wallet for managing digital assets such as NFTs that are issued in LINE Blockchain. In June 2021, in order to expand the LINE’s token economy and blockchain ecosystem, LINE’s introduced the LINE Blockchain NFT Market beta, which enabled the trading of NFTs within the LINE’s BITMAX Wallet. In September, LINE announced it was distributing a LINE FRIENDS NFT collection to users who participated in a quiz event held on the LINE’s de Oubo platform. Yoneyama revealed that over 170,000 LINE’s FRIENDS NFTs were distributed to users in Japan, and that over 80 percent of those users had never before owned a blockchain asset.
