Local revitalization utilizing Web 3.0 digital technology expected by the government
A DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is a decentralized organization that gathers people with common missions and rules that are executed on the blockchain. The Kishida administration’s “Basic Policy” clearly states that it will utilize NFT and DAO based on blockchain technology to improve the environment for the promotion of Web 3.0. (Reference: Basic Policy on Economic and Fiscal Management and Reform 2022). Based on the Kishida administration’s “new capitalism,” the “Regional Revitalization DAO” will conduct social experiments to realize strong regional economies and sustainable urban development throughout the country.
