In May last year, when the social and economic damage was aggravated by COVID-19, the local currency of our city ‘Ontong Daejeon’ hurriedly launched.

In just 7 months, it has exceeded 500,000 users and KRW 900 billion in issuance, causing a big repercussion.

When used at a local level, it brought various economic benefits to consumers and small business owners in the region, playing a role as a relief pitcher.

In particular, the intrinsic purpose of restoring the alley commercial district by preventing the outflow of local capital, which was aggravated by the rapid transition going from offline to online of the consumer market and the monopoly of a large distribution network, is also paying off.

Accordingly, Daejeon City is developing Ontong Daejeon online malls and delivery services in order to meet the changes in the non-face-to-face era.

They continue to expand good consumption and play its natural role of local currency, which contributes to the development and recovery of the local community.
