Connectiv Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Ishii; hereinafter "Connectiv"), a company developing blockchain-related businesses, has utilized its event platform "Snapshot" to record student behavioral history at a study cafe in the central urban area of Miyakonojo City, in cooperation with the Miyazaki Prefectural Miyakonojo Izumigaoka High School "Study Cafe Project Team" and Miyakonojo City Regional Project Manager Koji Ikeda.

About Blockchain Utilization at the Miyakonojo City Study Cafe The Miyakonojo City central urban area study cafe is a social experiment conducted in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture, providing a space where pupils and students can focus on their studies. This initiative aims to revitalize the central urban area by attracting students to the district. In this project, a system was introduced where students using the study cafe can check in by scanning a QR code via the Snapshot service provided by Connectiv, allowing them to keep a record of their visits. This enables students to maintain their visit history while also receiving rewards based on the number of visits. Furthermore, because this behavioral data is recorded on the blockchain, it can be utilized as highly reliable, tamper-proof data.

Project Manager Profile Koji Ikeda / Miyakonojo City Regional Project Manager After graduating from Miyakonojo National College of Technology, he worked as a first-class architect at a major architectural firm. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, he engaged in reconstruction projects, including construction work in Iitate Village and Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, and the construction of the city hall in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, which had been damaged by the tsunami. In addition to his architectural work, he has also been involved in community development with local residents. While considering the next phase of his career, he learned about the recruitment for a regional project manager and returned to his hometown with the desire to "contribute to local revitalization," subsequently assuming the position of Miyakonojo City Regional Project Manager.
