Problem
Existing blockchain platforms may not adequately address the specific regulatory, security, and privacy requirements of the Japanese market, hindering adoption by industrial leaders and mainstream users. Cumbersome KYC/AML processes and high transaction costs can also impede user experience and broader acceptance of blockchain technologies.
Solution
AltX Research is developing Japan Smart Chain (JSC), a Layer 1 Ethereum-equivalent blockchain designed to meet the unique needs of Japan. JSC embeds digital KYC/AML methods directly into the infrastructure layer through its Mizuhiki Protocol, reducing compliance burdens for both operators and users. Validated entirely onshore by Japanese industrial leaders, JSC prioritizes regulatory compliance, consumer protection, security, and privacy. The platform aims to provide a secure and efficient environment for digital transactions, fostering trust and driving mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies in Japan.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes Japanese industrial leaders, businesses, and users seeking a blockchain platform tailored to the specific regulatory and cultural requirements of the Japanese market.

- Public Layer 1 Ethereum-equivalent blockchain validated onshore in Japan
- Integrated Mizuhiki Protocol for digital KYC/AML compliance at the infrastructure level
- Focus on regulatory compliance, consumer protection, security, and privacy
