〜 Offering One-Stop Support from Planning and Consulting to Development and Deployment on the Blockchain〜
Japan Blockchain Foundation Co., Ltd. which operates and manages the consortium of 'Japan Open Chain', a public chain fully compatible with Ethereum operated by Japanese companies, has formed a strategic partnership with Bunzz pte ltd, the provider of the web3 development infrastructure 'Bunzz'.
◽️Background
The social implementation of web3/blockchain businesses is currently expanding, with an increasing number of Japanese enterprises and local governments actively exploring new ventures that incorporate web3 and blockchain technologies. However, the specialized knowledge and technical requirements of web3 are not yet widely understood. This gap has resulted in a shortage of expertise in onboarding, implementation, and service operation for many projects.
To address this, we have established a comprehensive support system for projects entering the web3 space. This is achieved through the collaboration of our 'Development Partner Program', a program dedicated to supporting web3 business implementation, and 'Bunzz for Enterprise', which is a Bunzz's enterprise-focused plan. Within this framework, Bunzz will offer consulting and technical support for system development during the business launch phase of web3 projects, and our company will provide the blockchain needed for deploying these projects.
Furthermore, we have designated the Japan Open Chain as the official deployment chain for Bunzz's smart contract modules. This integration extends to system-level collaboration, ensuring a seamless operational synergy.

Comment from Bunzz CEO, Kenta Akutsu
I am delighted that we have been able to form a partnership with Japan Open Chain, a domestic public blockchain with its impressive track record. Recently, there has been increasing momentum in the web3 domain within Japan, and as Bunzz, having started our enterprise plan, we have been eager to provide significant value. We believe the core value of Bunzz lies in simplicity of implementing web3-focused technology stacks, especially in the realm of smart contracts. However, the full potential of our offerings can only be fully realized with a trustworthy blockchain for deployment. This is why our partnership with Japan Open Chain is so pivotal and ideal.
Comment from Hidekazu Kondo, Representative of Japan Blockchain Foundation Co., Ltd.
I am convinced that Bunzz's web3 technology stack, with its focus on smart contracts, is an essential for the future evolution of the web3 world, and I am sincerely pleased that we at Japan Open Chain can form a strategic partnership with them. I am looking forward to creating services together that will originate from Japan and make a significant impact on the global web3 world.
