Quantstamp Japan Tour
This past week, we continued our mission of securing the global blockchain by embarking on a Japanese tour. By engaging with the community, startups, and corporates, we want to build the bridge between Silicon Valley and Japan.
Japan is a leader in both the traditional tech and the global blockchain community. We have been fortunate enough to meet with the established companies like GMO, leading seed funds like BeeNext, and promising startups like DMM.
One common thread throughout our conversations have appeared: Japan’s eagerness and openness to accept technologies like blockchain that can transform our everyday lives.
We want to make a concerted effort to connect with the Japanese startup/crypto world to share best practices across borders, expose them to smart contracts and crypto and to establish key relationships with Asian blockchain companies and projects.
Joining me on this trip will be several members of the Quantstamp core team from San Francisco. We will also be joined along the way by representatives from Omisego, NuCypher and Zilliqa.
Japan is living in the future. The government is creating a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, corporates are incentivized to adopt smart contracts, and serial entrepreneurs are applying their experience to the decentralized web. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
