The New Global Standard from Japan

MIZUHIKI — The Japan Chain

Our mission is to make MIZUHIKI the default settlement rail for regulated stablecoin payments in Japan and to demonstrate that sovereign, Ethereum-equivalent public blockchains can become the standard infrastructure of regulated digital finance.

Core advantage

Sovereign Digital Infrastructure for Critical Use Cases

Sovereignty

Japan Sovereign

MIZUHIKI guarantees Japanese data residency and seeks to minimize outside regulatory influence.

Every validator node is located onshore in Japan, operated by an approved domestic entity accountable under Japanese law.

SpeedLane Payments

Speedy, Cost-effective Payments

Sub-second deterministic finality for stablecoin transactions: the same confirmation speed consumers expect from a card terminal. No gas token required: users pay in the stablecoin they already hold.

User-controlled Identity

MIZUHIKI ID

MIZUHIKI ID anchors every verified address to Japan's national identity infrastructure (My Number) through licensed onshore Attestors without ever exposing personal data on-chain.

One compliant verification, portable across every application on the network. Free to all projects.

Built-in Compliance

MIZUHIKI Compliance Suite

MIZUHIKI Compliance Suite primitives at the platform layer, not rebuilt from scratch by each application. It is modular and opt-in, providing KYC, AML screening, and risk management as shared network infrastructure. The cost of compliance is paid once and shared across every application on MIZUHIKI.

Built for Stablecoin Issuers

Revenue-Share Infrastructure

MIZUHIKI routes a share of every on-chain transaction fee back to the stablecoin issuer whose token was used. Issuers earn from transaction volume, not just reserve yield, making JPY stablecoin economics viable in Japan's current rate environment.
