Mr. Ansai, CEO of Ethanim, said at the beginning that “decentralization of the metaverse” and “eternal application” are important factors for the eternal development of the metaverse and are the basis of the design philosophy of Ethanim. To achieve these, Ethanim combines mobile computing technology and blockchain technology by “replacing the mechanism of ‘agreement among the untrusted majority of nodes’ with the mechanism of ‘putting nodes in a trustworthy state before performing calculations. ‘ to ensure the performance is able to support large applications.”

In addition, “In Ethanim, digital assets can be traded in a variety of forms in a borderless manner while remaining entirely your own, and preventing them from suddenly being lost or losing their value because of someone.” Specifically, “the sword, an equipment used in medieval-themed games, can be used as a missile in other recent-themed games and can also be sold on the market,” emphasized the user benefits created by the ecosystem of Ethanim.

Besides, Takaaki Ansai also introduced the Ethanim test network that will be launched in the third quarter of 2022. The applications can be developed on the test network along with the distribution of Ethanim’s local token, EPU.

Next, Professor Hiroyuki Morikawa of the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo took the stage. Taking the example of washing machines as an example of the impact of new technologies on society, Professor Hiroyuki Morikawa said, “The market for clothing has expanded at once because of the change in the concept of hygiene due to the emergence of washing machines,” and that no one could have predicted such a change in the market until now. Because “technology is repeatedly centralized and decentralized”, in the future, with the huge trend of decentralization, he emphasized that “many people will participate and think, and a beautiful ecosystem will be created”.
