Since its inception, Animoca Brands Japan has been involved in the global development of Japanese intellectual property and content (IP) in the Web3 domain while supporting the development of overseas projects in Japan. Now, by setting up our own launchpad, we intend to further strengthen these efforts and accelerate mass adoption of Web3 by serving as a gateway for IP between Japan and overseas.”
