We are very pleased to be able to work together with G.U.
Technologies, which develops “Japan Open Chain”, an Ethereum compatible chain from Japan with its own blockchain, for IEO. Currently, web3 technology is attracting attention not only in Japan but also all over the world. This new concept of the Internet is expected to significantly change existing business models. Among them, we empathize with G.U. Technologies’ efforts to promote web3 business by operating in compliance with Japanese law, and decided to work with them.
In addition, I believe that “Japan Open Chain” will be the pioneer of a blockchain network that can be used safely in the domestic crypto asset industry.
At Huobi Japan, we would like to further refine our technology for the web3 era together with G.U. Technologies and Japan Blockchain Platform.

We are very pleased to be able to work with Huobi Japan on the IEO of the fee token of “Japan Open Chain”.
Currently, we are receiving many inquiries about our efforts to enter the web3 business, system development that utilizes the
characteristics of blockchain, and its use in finance. “Japan Open Chain” has been adopted for the blockchain used in the web3 project of major companies and local governments, and service development has begun.
Even after the IEO, we will continue to provide web3 infrastructure that can be used safely in business, such as web3 services such as NFT and dApps, and system construction using blockchain.

Japan Blockchain Platform is an affiliated company of G.U.
Technologies and the management company of the “Japan Open Chain” consortium, as well as the issuer of this token.
We believe that blockchain will become the most important
infrastructure to support the new capitalism of the future. However, the current situation is that there is still no blockchain in the world that can be used for business with technical and legal security. “Japan Open Chain” is a chain secured by the trust of Japan, the most trusted country in the world. We hope to support your business innovation in the web3 era while delivering safety and security not only in Japan but around the world.
