Background and issues
This case is、2025KBW held in South Korea in 2018 ( Korean Blockchain Week )Starting from a business meeting with Grvt CEO during the period、This is a concrete example of the idea that ``we would like to hold a trade competition in Japan as our next initiative.''。
on the other hand、In Japan, due to legal regulations、There were some aspects that made it difficult to design a competition that involved actual trading.。Therefore、More than just a “trial session”、How to ensure “competitiveness” that brings out the enthusiasm of participants、We needed an alternative that would provide both experiential value and fair competition.。
Therefore, in this event、To establish competitiveness without using real funds、Planned as a competition in a demo environment。By integrating it with the trial session、While ensuring “educational and community purposes”、We designed an event that generated energy.。
