Initiative to strengthen ecosystem collaboration and community engagement in Japan recognized by the world-leading blockchain “Cardano” through its decentralized funding system

Pacific Meta Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shota Iwasaki; hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its proposal has been officially selected in Fund14 of Project Catalyst, a decentralized funding platform that supports the growth of the Cardano ecosystem.

The selected proposal focuses on strengthening connections between Japan and the global blockchain/Cardano ecosystem, as well as revitalizing and expanding community activities within Japan.

Through this selection, the Company will receive grant support and promote various initiatives aimed at bridging the Cardano ecosystem with Japan’s Web3 and blockchain communities.

What Is Project Catalyst

Project Catalyst is one of the world’s largest decentralized innovation funds, providing financial support to projects that contribute to the development of the Cardano ecosystem. The fund is sourced from Cardano’s on-chain treasury※.

※Treasury: Funds accumulated on the Cardano network through its protocol, allocated for ecosystem development via community-driven decision-making processes such as proposal submissions and voting.

Project Catalyst is a core initiative within Cardano’s roadmap phase known as “Voltaire”, and is operated through the following mechanisms:

• Proposal submissions by the community
• Evaluation and refinement by community reviewers
• On-chain voting by ADA holders

This process embodies Cardano’s vision of decentralized governance.

Overview of the Selected Proposal and Future Outlook

The Company’s selected proposal aims to strengthen connections between Japan and the blockchain/Cardano ecosystem, while supporting the continued growth of community activities.

In Japan, both official and unofficial Cardano-related communities already exist and actively engage in information sharing and交流. Respecting these existing efforts, the Company seeks to complement them by expanding participation through improved access to information, learning pathways, and international connectivity.

To date, the Company has supported multiple blockchain communities through information dissemination and community-building initiatives, achieving rapid and significant growth in scale and engagement.

Pacific Meta is a global team with English-speaking members and transaction experience in over 40 countries, while also possessing deep insight into the Japanese market and a media network spanning more than 30 organizations. Leveraging this cross-border expertise and network, the Company will act as a bridge between Japan’s communities and the broader Cardano ecosystem.

Through this project, the Company will primarily support the creation of an environment in which domestic participants can engage continuously with the Cardano ecosystem through the following initiatives:

• Organizing and disseminating updates on the Cardano ecosystem and Project Catalyst in Japanese
• Developing learning pathways to help beginners easily participate in existing communities and the ecosystem
  • Cardano Japan Hub Official X: https://x.com/CardanoHub_JP
  • Cardano Japan Hub Official Telegram: https://t.me/cardano_jp
• Planning and producing educational content covering wallet usage, staking, and participation in Project Catalyst

Through these activities, the Company will promote collaboration with domestic and international Cardano stakeholders and projects, contributing to the sustainable growth of the Cardano ecosystem in Japan.
