Japan Blockchain Foundation Inc. (CEO: Hidekazu Kondo), the consortium management company for Japan Open Chain, announces that the digital comic platform "DeManga" operated by Staff Life Inc. (President and CEO: Ryuji Sekiya) has been selected for the "JOC Development Partner Program," which supports businesses deploying web3 operations on the Japan-made public chain "Japan Open Chain (JOC)," in conjunction with issuing proprietary tokens and NFTs on JOC.

JOC will provide technical support to DeManga, which aims to revolutionize the digital comic market under the banner of "Manga and Earn," and will cooperate in further developing the web3 world.

◽️ Background​

The digital comic platform DeManga has already decided to publish over 4,000 digital comic titles even before its official release, and the number of available works is expected to continue growing. Through the introduction of NFTs, DeManga will provide manga fans with various new values, including voting ticket grants, ranking rewards, and proprietary token rewards through staking.

DeManga aims to spread manga, one of Japan's important cultures, to the world through NFTs and tokens. Through its partnership with JOC, which shares the same vision, DeManga will pursue further possibilities. This strategic collaboration is expected to serve not only as technological innovation but also as a cultural bridge for both DeManga and JOC.

JOC will support companies that deploy Japanese content globally while aiming for the development and popularization of Japanese blockchain technology and supporting corporate digital transformation.
