FINALIST from Japan

Japan

An enterprise-grade secure booth that enables remote, controlled crypto-asset transfers (cold-to-hot) for exchanges to maintain 24/365 liquidity. It reduces late-night on-site operations and human dependency while strengthening security governance and auditability through an isolated, high-assurance environment. By lowering operational cost and risk, it improves business continuity and supports scalable, globally relevant digital-asset settlement operations.

Spent years operating mission-critical banking systems, repeatedly handling night-time incidents and emergency call-outs. While supporting high security and stability, he grew deeply concerned about an industry structure that exhausts people in the name of safety. To change security models that “bind humans to rooms,” he spun out and founded the company by acquiring a new business originally developed within a major SIer. With a field-driven perspective, he is building a new security standard that integrates physical security, cyber controls, and governance—designed to protect both assets and the people who operate them.
