The Dawn of Web3: RYO's Global Vision from Japan | Blockchain Futurist Conference 2024

RYO is Japan’s first layer 1 blockchain designed to revolutionize digital payments, combining ancient Japanese currency traditions with modern technology

Project focused on user experience and consumer adoption first, building technology around consumer needs rather than the other way around - aiming for PayPal/Venmo-like simplicity

Seven years of self-funded development ($80M+) with strict regulatory compliance through Japan’s FSA and JVCEA, positioning RYO as the first Japanese cryptocurrency going international

Currently listed on three exchanges, launched at $1.60 and reached highs of $11.66, with plans to launch 200 ATMs in 2024 and 1,500 in 2025

Features quantum-resistant encryption and risk management capabilities, with ability to interoperate with multiple programming languages and blockchain platforms

Strong focus on education and consumer protection, conducting seminars across Japan to ensure understanding across all age groups

Designed to solve Bitcoin’s practical usage problems (high fees, slow transactions) while maintaining stability through pegging to local currencies

Built-in risk management through AI and quantum computing integration for network-wide security

Addresses the gap between crypto traders (250,000 active in Japan) and the general population (123-125 million), focusing on mass adoption

Emphasis on maintaining Japanese values of quality, integrity, and reputation while expanding globally through strategic country-by-country rollout
