Pacific Meta Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shota Iwasaki; “Pacific Meta”) today announced that it has made Komlock lab Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masato Nunome; “Komlock lab”), a company operating in the blockchain and AI agent domain, a wholly owned subsidiary.

Through this transaction, Pacific Meta Group will integrate Komlock lab’s expertise in blockchain development and AI agents to strengthen its technical implementation capabilities for AI agent payments, on-chain value exchange, and stablecoin-based business infrastructure in Japan.

Why Japan, Why Now

Japan is one of the world’s largest economies and is entering a new phase in which stablecoins and on-chain payments are moving from concept to regulated implementation. Recent developments include the expansion of USDC access in Japan, the emergence of yen-denominated stablecoins such as JPYC and JPYSC, and stablecoin proof-of-concept initiatives involving major Japanese financial institutions.

At the same time, global interest is growing in AI agent payments and Agentic Commerce, where AI agents may support purchasing, payments, value transfer, and asset management. For AI agents to become practical economic actors, programmable payment rails, smart contracts, wallets, permission controls, and auditability will become essential.

What This Acquisition Enables

Pacific Meta has supported more than 260 projects across over 41 countries, working as a global team that connects overseas blockchain, digital asset, and AI-related companies with the Japanese market.

By welcoming Komlock lab into the group, Pacific Meta will strengthen not only its business development and go-to-market capabilities, but also its ability to implement AI × blockchain infrastructure at the technical level. This will enable Pacific Meta Group to more concretely support AI agent payments, on-chain value exchange, and stablecoin-based business infrastructure in Japan.

Background and Purpose

Since its founding, Pacific Meta has supported both overseas companies entering the Japanese market and Japanese enterprises exploring blockchain adoption.

Japan has a highly developed financial system, enterprise market, and payment infrastructure. As stablecoin-related initiatives progress, the country is becoming an increasingly important field for implementing regulated digital finance in payments, settlement, corporate finance, and enterprise use cases.

Meanwhile, AI agents are evolving from business workflow tools into systems that may support decision-making, contracting, payments, value transfer, and asset management. To participate in economic activity safely and transparently, AI agents require infrastructure for programmable payments, permission management, transaction execution, and auditability.

Stablecoins, smart contracts, wallets, and on-chain asset management can serve as core technologies for this infrastructure. However, implementing AI agent payments and on-chain value exchange in real-world business settings requires capabilities across blockchain development, payment design, wallet and smart contract architecture, security, compliance considerations, and business planning.

Komlock lab is a team originating from the enterprise division of CryptoGames Inc. and has been advancing technical verification in the fields of blockchain development and AI agents. Pacific Meta determined that combining its business development capabilities and global network with Komlock lab’s technology and vision would enable more concrete progress toward the implementation of AI × blockchain infrastructure in Japan.

Future Outlook

With Komlock lab joining the group, Pacific Meta Group will further strengthen its technology development and business development capabilities in the AI × blockchain domain.

Specifically, Pacific Meta Group plans to advance the following initiatives:

• Technical verification of autonomous payments and on-chain value exchange by AI agents
• Development of payment and asset management infrastructure using stablecoins, smart contracts, and wallets
• Development of AI × blockchain solutions for enterprise operations, finance, and decision-making
• Implementation testing using group companies as real-world testing fields
• Support for overseas blockchain, digital asset, and AI-related companies entering and implementing solutions in the Japanese market
• Creation of new businesses and PoCs in the Agentic Commerce domain, where AI agents handle purchasing and payments

Pacific Meta believes that Japan is entering an important phase in which stablecoins, on-chain payments, and AI agents can converge in real-world business applications. Together with Komlock lab, Pacific Meta will work to build and implement the AI × blockchain infrastructure required for this next phase.

Comment from Masato Nunome, Representative Director of Komlock lab Inc.

We should not be swallowed by AI; we should be the ones who create the economy that AI will operate. This is something Komlock lab has strongly believed since its founding.

By joining Pacific Meta Group, Pacific Meta’s global network and our blockchain × AI technologies will come together. Together with Pacific Meta, we will work from Japan to realize a world where AI agents autonomously conduct economic activity. We are excited to help drive this major transformation, potentially one of the most significant shifts since the Industrial Revolution.

Comment from Shota Iwasaki, President and CEO of Pacific Meta Inc.

Since its founding, Pacific Meta has operated with the belief that blockchain will become foundational infrastructure for finance and industry. Today, in a world where AI agents are beginning to autonomously contract, make payments, and manage assets, blockchain is emerging as infrastructure that can support this future.

Pacific Meta Group is committed to the AI × blockchain domain. In working toward this vision, the future envisioned by Mr. Nunome and the Komlock lab team strongly overlaps with the world we aim to build.

By bringing together Komlock lab’s technology and vision in the AI agent domain with Pacific Meta Group’s business and implementation capabilities, we believe we can move more concretely toward creating a new standard for autonomous value exchange from Japan. As a group, we will take on the challenge of implementing a future where AI agents autonomously exchange value.
