Making "Protecting Your Own Assets Yourself" More Accessible: Aiming to Popularize Crypto Assets like Bitcoin and MonaCoin, and Public Key Cryptography Technology.

Monatoka Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jumpei Watanabe) aims to share the new concept of asset management—"protecting your own assets yourself"—with more people through crypto assets like Bitcoin and MonaCoin, and the public key cryptography technology that supports them.

We support "April Dream," an initiative that encourages people to share their dreams on April 1st.

This press release is the dream of Monatoka Co., Ltd.

Protecting Your Own Assets Yourself Recently, the risk of losing or devaluing one's assets without doing anything has increased due to factors such as financial institution failures and inflation caused by monetary easing. As one solution to these problems, Monatoka aims to widely promote the concept of asset preservation through crypto assets like Bitcoin and MonaCoin, and we intend to approach this from both technical and philosophical perspectives.

- Crypto assets are assets based on cryptographic technology where the person who manages the private key has the authority to transfer them, and others cannot move them. - Crypto assets like Bitcoin and MonaCoin have a fixed issuance limit, making them assets that do not suffer from value dilution due to excessive issuance.

Bringing the Power of Public Key Cryptography to the People Public key cryptography is an essential technology for crypto assets like Bitcoin and MonaCoin.

Public key cryptography uses a pair of two types of keys: a private key (a key only you know) and a public key (a key anyone can know).

Typical uses include "encryption" and "digital signatures."

Encryption When you encrypt a message using a public key, only the person who holds the corresponding private key can decrypt it and read the original message.

Digital Signatures By using a private key to create a signature for a message, anyone can use the public key to verify that the signature was created with the corresponding private key. This allows one to confirm that the person who created and signed the message is the holder of that private key.

In particular, this "signature" mechanism plays an important role in crypto assets.

Public key cryptography is by no means a new technology and is widely applied in modern society. However, because it is a highly versatile and powerful tool, we want more people to know about it and use it actively. We even believe that doing so will significantly change our lives.

Engaging with Crypto Assets While Having Fun Monatoka currently provides services related to MonaCoin.

We believe that crypto assets and public key cryptography may seem difficult to approach for those who are not used to them. Therefore, Monatoka hopes to create a state where people "find themselves engaging with these technologies while having fun."

Of course, we do not intend to stop at just creating such opportunities. We genuinely want to provide services that are fun, interesting, and useful.

*1 MonaCoin is a crypto asset born in January 2014. Like Bitcoin, it is a decentralized crypto asset with no administrator or operator, and it was created based on Bitcoin's source code. It is also handled by multiple domestic crypto asset exchanges.

*2 Originating from a certain Japanese internet bulletin board, a domestic community centered around "Mona Cards" (https://card.mona.jp/) has formed, making it a crypto asset that is familiar to Japanese people. Furthermore, the technical knowledge gained through MonaCoin has the potential to be applied to Bitcoin as well.

Honmono Coin Monatoka is working jointly with the Honmono Association (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kentaro Mitsidokoro; hereinafter "Honmono Association") on a community currency project called "Honmono Coin."

Key features are as follows: - A community currency that does not have an exchange function with legal tender such as the Japanese Yen. - A social experiment aimed at improving currency value by enhancing the quality of the operating community.

Although the project has just begun, we are proceeding with excitement, thinking that something interesting might happen if an economic zone centered on a unique currency is formed.
