Description
About the Datachain initiative
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 ‘De-Facto infrastructure’ as a Global x Deep Tech company 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 ‘De-Facto infrastructure’ as a Global x Deep Tech company from Japan.
Why Datachain can achieve this
- 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.
- 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.
The technology Datachain has been researching and developing - blockchain-to-blockchain transmission technology - is leading the world.
Attractiveness of the position
In order to promote new major projects, it is necessary to consider the development of new blockchains and further development of technologies that connect blockchains and blockchains, and it is necessary to develop core technologies that will serve as the basis for further business development.
We will conduct our own research based on research themes to solve issues required by the business, and implement the research based on English papers and other sources.
This is an interesting opportunity to create technologies that have never existed before.
