So now we’re working to make large information in Japan by doing social actions with our companions and organizing occasions with our accomplice tasks.

Our NFTs serves as a operate of governance.

Through the use of the governance operate of NFTs, we are going to create a brand new type of worldwide IP that comes with the enter of many individuals’s brains and cultural backgrounds.
