◽️ Business-Optimized Public Blockchain Emphasizing Legal and Technical Practicality: 'Japan Open Chain'

バリデータ一覧(サイバーリンクス追加)-1

While there are several blockchain networks in the world, in reality, operating entities are often unclear and there are many legal and technical issues, making it difficult to promote web3 business on such blockchains. As various problems including fraud occur on problematic chains, blockchains that comply with each country's laws and enable safe business operations are being sought.

Therefore, Japan Open Chain was established with the purpose of promoting web3 business for people worldwide as a public blockchain emphasizing legal and technical practicality, with Japanese companies serving as validators (blockchain operating partners), achieving full Ethereum compatibility, fast and affordable fees, adequate decentralization with high security performance and stability.

◽️ Recruiting Companies to Join Japan Open Chain as Validators

The Japan Open Chain Consortium is recruiting domestic companies hoping to participate as validators, who are co-operators of the chain. Additionally, if you are interested in business utilizing Japan Open Chain, please feel free to contact us.
