Sonzai Labs is focused on developing mini-app games on Telegram, a platform that aligns perfectly with our vision of fostering innovative and scalable solutions for the Web3 ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telegram is a messaging application with over 200 million monthly active users (MAU), widely regarded as a primary communication platform for businesses, projects, and professionals. Telegram groups play a crucial role in facilitating seamless communication, especially in the Web3 and tech sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Telegram\u2019s rich gamification features, such as mini-games and bots (automated chat programs), have proven to be effective tools for enhancing user interaction and engagement. Sonzai Labs has identified and capitalized on these elements, creating cutting-edge projects that leverage Telegram\u2019s unique capabilities to bring value to its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Pacific Meta Ventures, we are proud to support Sonzai Labs in their expansion into the Japanese market. By acting as both an investor and a marketing partner, we are committed to assisting them in realizing their vision of driving Web3\u2019s mass adoption through innovative mini-app solutions. This partnership represents a significant step forward in unlocking the potential of Web3 technologies on mainstream platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2\"><strong>Investor Comment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/image-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6155 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/image-6.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pacific-meta.co.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/image-6-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Co-founder<br>Head of Business Development\u3000<br>Kousei Sho<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had the opportunity to meet with Ryan, the founder, multiple times and have meaningful discussions.
