Description
ăAbout the Datachain initiativeă
Datachain announced a project to build a global payment solutions infrastructure on 5 September 2024!
Since its inception in 2018, Datachain has been continuing R&D on technology and business opportunities with the aim of creating a âDe-Facto infrastructureâ as a âGlobal x Deep Tech' 'from Japan'.
We aim to become a Decacorn (a start-up with an enterprise value of more than USD 10 billion), and we are often told that we need to win in Global x Deep Tech to realize this goal.
As a major first step, the announced project will start, but we have a limited amount of time to get off to a flying start with a big advantage in this area, where the world's top companies will be our competitors.
As the first penguin, we are currently rapidly expanding our recruitment in order to create a âDe-Facto infrastructureâ as a âglobal x deep techâ âfrom Japanâ.Â
ăWhy Datachain can achieve thisă
ă»We will develop an international remittance infrastructure using stable coins in collaboration with a communication network for financial transactions linking more than 11,000 institutions in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide, which are also used by major Japanese banks for overseas remittances.
â In June 2023, Japan will be the first developed country to enact legislation on blockchain stablecoins, so that Japan leads the world in this area.
ă»The technology Datachain has been researching and developing - blockchain-to-blockchain transmission technology - is leading the world.
ăAttractiveness of the positionă
