This project is to build AtalaPRISM as a layer1 in the real economy, and to develop DApps service as a layer2 in order to spread WEB3.0. One of the challenges is that there are few concrete use cases for blockchain in Japan, and even if a PoC has been conducted, there has been little progress in developing industrial applications. There are two issues that need to be addressed in the industrial use of blockchain. First, it is necessary to build a platform that can be shared by many stakeholders in order to provide benefits as a solution, and to form a consortium for this purpose. Secondly, a cross-border shared platform for global commercialization, and a consortium. After satisfying either of these requirements, we urgently need to establish a system to launch Atala, which has data tracing and ID assignment functions as the basic components of the solution. We are currently conducting comprehensive activities to achieve this goal, and have submitted two proposals related to this project, both of which have been accepted.

DID Solution for Localgavernments
Together with a member of the prefectural assembly, DID has made two presentations to the prefectural government on the introduction of blockchain. We are also investigating areas where we can make a case for blockchain in industry associations. Currently, we are proposing a data platform infrastructure using blockchain after visiting smart cities and the local government departments in charge of them. The organizing committee is currently examining the proposal, and if it becomes a positive consideration for implementation, we plan to progress to holding a study session and a hackathon in stages. Eventually, we hope to create use cases that will activate the data economy in smart cities. In another project, we are proposing to the head of state of a country a blockchain-based solution for proving the authenticity of local products and cross-border traceability. The project has the potential to become a national strategic project, and we will continue to do our best.
Fund7
Atala Japanese Translation & CNFT
We are currently short of human resources and engineers who can take on the role of CTO to form a project team to build Atala solutions after a concrete project is launched. In order to solve this problem, we are preparing Japanese language education documents to train people who can join the team in Japan. We are also in the process of developing L2E using CNFT to expand awareness of Atala PRISM and CNFT. We are also working to expand the awareness of Atala PRISM and CNFT.

Fund8
This proposal aims to build an educational program (video content production, Q&A system with lecturers) based on the educational document being developed by Fund7, and to hold a hackathon including the participation of businesses.
Training Program
The engineers trained in this program will not only participate in projects in Japan, but will also be able to contribute to Cardano projects around the world. In order to attract engineers, we are working with our own team to receive engineers from the Cardano community, and we are also working with "devillage" to reach out to engineers outside the community. In fact, we have already started a workshop with Wallin from IOG, and 40 engineers have already participated.
Hackathon
We are planning a hackathon to reach not only engineers, but also the enterprise domain.
１)Specifically, we will promote the project at the Cardano booth at the Blockchain Expo in April and encourage companies to participate.
- Utilize connections with executives in the industry.
Collaborate with companies that are promoting the use of blockchain in the real world. Also, reach out to major companies (real estate, telecommunications, government offices, etc.) that are clients of those companies.
3)Publicity through major Japanese Biz media is also being coordinated (depending on the cost).
Through these efforts, we would like to expand our project to the verification of supply chain and qualification information in a consortium involving multiple companies.

Devillage is focusing on the development and success of blockchain engineers. Although there is a global shortage of blockchain engineers, there is no established education system or scheme to support their employment. We at devillage are not only training blockchain engineers, but also creating a job-matching platform that allows them to actually engage in development in a global development environment. In addition, by making the platform available in multiple languages, we will be able to smoothly expand our business globally. In order to build an educational program, we will train more developers through devillage's blockchain engineer training project, and to approach people in Japan and overseas, we will develop a job-matching platform, which will enable P2P job matching. Of course, it will also be possible to contract development by development teams. In this way, devillage can not only train developers, but also become a place to provide jobs for more developers. In the future, developers from many parts of the world will be able to participate and work on global projects, regardless of language barriers.
■Output through hackathons in devillage
・The purpose of the hackathon is to build a pool of developers who are interested in Cardano or who want to develop on the chain.
・The hackathon is designed to build a pool of developers who are interested in Cardano or who want to develop on the chain. In the devillage, the NFTs given only to hackathon participants are connected to the discord channel, where participants can gather to participate in events and receive support from the team.
・It is up to the Cardano team to decide how to utilize the pool. One of the reasons for holding a hackathon is to expose potential developers in this way and provide them with further opportunities.
In addition to the training of ATALA engineers in this proposal, we would like to add DApps and construction in Milkomeda as a category if it is possible in time. In any case, we are planning to train DApp engineers in the medium term, and we would like to further develop the comprehensive development system using Cardano.
■Concerns
The number of participants in training courses and hackathons will be limited.
■Measures to be taken
Measures to increase engagement・Secure more participants at Fund7.
・Promotion at the Cardano booth at Blockchain Expo
・Hold regular study sessions at devillage
