Japanese Government Awards NFTs to Local Authorities



Seven mayors in Japan were presented with an NFT For Social Initiatives Using Digital Technology, during the "Summer Digi Denkoshien 2022" ceremony.
NFT Rewards for Digital Innovation
The Japanese government has ventured into NFT rewards for local authorities to recognize the efforts to local governments solving local challenges using digital technology. The Cabinet Secretariat presented the awards during the "Summer Digi Denkoshien 2022" ceremony.
Seven mayors received NFT rewards for initiatives in their cities related to the digital economy. The awarded solutions included electric vehicles for local deliveries under the mayor of Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, and mobile device cameras to track traffic conditions changes in real-time by Maebashi of Gunma Province.
Fumio Kishida, the country's Prime Minister, also attended the event, according to Coinpost.
"Four companies supported this project: IndieSquare, bitFlyer Holdings, TREE Digital Studio, and Tomonari Kougei. IndieSquare's ‘HAZAMA BASE,’ which introduces the ability to issue and distribute NFTs with no code safely, was used," reported Coinpost.
It is the first case where the Cabinet Secretariat used NFTs for local recognition. The initiative utilized the Ethereum blockchain, but the NFTs were issued with a POAP design that is non-transferable and easy to use for commemoration and proof. It also attracted attention as a case of engraving on the blockchain.

Taurus offers a range of services, including custody, tokenization, and trading of digital assets. Taurus recently secured $65 million in funding through a round led by Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank in February, highlighting the growing interest from traditional financial institutions in blockchain technology and tokenization.
Tokenization, the process of representing an asset as tradable units in a digital format, is increasingly drawing the attention of mainstream financial institutions.
Taurus emphasized that most Tier 1 financial institutions are entering the tokenization space and seeking a blockchain-agnostic and token-agnostic infrastructure. Additionally, Bank of America published a report last April stating that the tokenized gold market had surpassed $1 billion the previous month.
Polygon aims to evolve into an "internet of blockchains," connecting various Ethereum-compatible networks while continuing to enhance transaction efficiency and speed.
As blockchain technology adoption accelerates, collaborations between established major institutions and Polygon continues. In addition to the recent collaboration Polygon has also partnered with Franklin Templeton, Google Cloud, and Deutsche Telekom in recent months.
Polygon ($MATIC) is trading at $0.9, up 0.4% in 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
What is Polygon:
Polygon is a “sidechain” scaling solution that runs alongside the Ethereum blockchain — allowing for speedy transactions and low fees. MATIC is the network’s native cryptocurrency, which is used for fees, staking, and more. The effectiveness of Polygon as an alternative to Ethereum has seen existing projects such as Aave and Curve adopting its chain.
