Project Team

Japan Blockchain Foundation Co., Ltd. was established to monitor the status of the Japan Open Chain project, disclose information, and promote the development of a healthy ecosystem. This company serves as the manager of the project. Japan Blockchain Foundation Co., Ltd. plans to apply to the Financial Services Agency of Japan for an IEO in the future and become the official managing company of the project and tokens in Japan. However, it is the individual validators, project members, and the ecosystem that actually operate the blockchain. It is appropriate to consider Japan Blockchain Foundation Co., Ltd. as the secretarial role overseeing these activities.

The Japan Open Chain project involves well-known Japanese companies, including those from the SONY Group, Dentsu Group, universities, and other publicly listed companies ranked among the top ten by revenue in Japan, emphasizing their high societal credibility. To ensure diversity amongst validators, the project plans to include and welcome crypto-related companies and startups that can contribute to the ecosystem and hold some level of trust, as validators and project members in the future.
