Project Overview

Project Introduction​

Amid the global wave of cross-border expansion, Japan—thanks to its large consumer market, mature financial system, and rigorous regulatory framework—has become one of the most important destinations for overseas (Chinese) enterprises. However, when entering Japan, companies often face high compliance thresholds, limited financing channels, and fragmented service chains.

We help overseas (Chinese) companies enter the Japanese market in a compliant, efficient, and cost-effective manner by providing a one-stop infrastructure for compliant market entry, asset tokenization financing, and local service orchestration.

NGC (Nippon Gateway Chain) is positioned to combine blockchain-based financing with AI-driven compliance/automation, enabling cross-border funds and services to be completed within a trusted network.

Vision​

We integrate token design, financing support, go-to-market execution, and local service chains, and use AI modules to achieve process automation and scalability.

Unlike traditional platforms that only “tokenize assets,” NGC brings real enterprise service needs (company incorporation, hiring, tax, marketing, channels) on-chain, ensuring RWA token issuance is tightly coupled with real business landing scenarios.

  • The compliance gateway for enterprises entering Japan
  • A trusted channel for investors
  • A marketplace for service providers and AI Agents

Market Opportunity​

Institutionalization of Global RWA​

Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is entering a period of rapid growth. Major markets in Europe, the U.S., and Asia are gradually improving regulatory frameworks (e.g., the EU’s MiCA), pushing asset tokenization from pilot projects to institutional adoption.

By 2030, the global RWA market is projected to reach USD 16 trillion. The competition ahead is not just about “who issues tokens first,” but who provides compliant, trusted, and scalable infrastructure that seamlessly connects real business with capital.

Japan’s Challenges and Needs​

As a high-trust, mature market, Japan presents three key challenges for market entry:

  • Compliance pressure: Strict and complex rules across financial instruments, taxation, labor, and data protection—with limited multilingual support.
  • Financing gap: Newcomers often lack local credit history, making bank financing difficult.
  • High service costs: Legal, accounting, and marketing services are expensive; people-heavy models are inefficient.

These factors compound into long timelines, high costs, and scarce resources for overseas companies entering Japan.

AI-Driven Solution & Industry Implications​

Traditional “manual + point services” cannot support the scale needed for cross-border landing. AI + blockchain is the optimal approach:

  • Efficiency: AI Agents automate contract review, compliance checks, and workflow tracking.
  • Compliance: Machine-generated, auditable logs with on-chain proofs meet Japan’s transparency expectations.
  • Resource backfill: AI Agents invoke standardized service modules, compensating for “Japan-specific process know-how.”

NGC Platform Core​

NGC Token — The Native Token of the Platform and Chain​

NGC is the native token of Nippon Gateway Chain and serves as both the utility token for the platform and the gas token for the chain. It underpins the entire ecosystem and governance, ensuring reliable operation of the service chain, RWA token financing, and AI Agent modules.

Functions & Utility

  • Gas Token: Fuels on-chain transactions and AI Agent calls.
  • Governance: Token holders can participate in future governance (service-provider admission, fee schedules, compliance module upgrades).
  • Payments: Enterprises can pay for service bundles in NGC; stablecoins/fiat are also supported with back-office conversion.
  • Incentives: Service providers, validators, and node operators can stake NGC to earn rewards.
  • Deflationary Design: A portion of platform profits will be used to buy back and burn NGC to support long-term value.

Positioning NGC does not represent equity, debt, or dividend rights, nor does it promise future returns. Its value arises from:

  1. Gas-level demand as the chain’s fuel;
  2. Governance rights;
  3. Ecosystem incentives;
  4. Deflationary effects via buyback & burn.

RWA Tokens — Project Financing & Redemption​

RWA tokens are project-driven: each enterprise or asset entering Japan issues an independent RWA token.

Lifecycle

  • Issuance: Enterprises submit real assets (e.g., contracts, receivables, lease income) to NGC; after verification, the corresponding RWA token is minted.
  • Financing: Investors purchase RWA tokens; enterprises obtain funding.
  • Redemption: Upon maturity, enterprises buy back RWA tokens using cash flow/fiat.
  • Burn: After redemption, RWA tokens are burned to ensure a strict 1:1 correspondence between tokens and real assets. Characteristics
  1. Each RWA token represents income rights or debt claims of a specific project.
  2. Issuance and redemption are governed by compliance modules, ensuring transparency and auditability.
  3. Investors earn cash-flow yields from the underlying real assets.

AI Module​

Why AI Is Essential​

  1. “On-chain registry + financing” alone cannot address Japan’s high-compliance, high-labor-cost, multi-step service environment—manual/outsourced models are slow and expensive.

  2. Japan’s requirements for security tokens, financial product sales, accounting, and data norms are stringent. Relying on manual outsourcing leads to high advisory and labor costs.

NGC Advantages — From Manual-Driven to Rules + Machine-Assisted​

  • Efficiency: AI performs document extraction, compliance checks, and reconciliations (contracts/invoices/receipts). Humans handle exceptions; turnaround shortens from weeks to hours.
  • Compliance: The AI “compliance module” executes standardized KYC/AML, sanctions screening, and qualification checks with on-chain proofs, ensuring traceability and auditability.
  • Cost Optimization: Converts “person-month services” into SaaS-like modules, slashing repeat labor costs.
  • Expert Focus: Frees high-skilled advisors to tackle exceptions and high-value tasks.
  • Transparency & Trust: Auto-generated compliance logs and evidences improve trust for regulators, partners, and investors.

NGC AI Agent Capabilities & Scenarios​

Supported by a local partner network (law firms, certified tax accountants, recruiting, PR/KOLs, channel partners) and Japan-specific process expertise, even SMEs can ramp up like mature local companies, significantly improving success rates.

Core Advantages

  • Modular Tasks: Standardize local service flows, SLAs, and compliance requirements as callable task modules.
  • End-to-End Orchestration: One click to generate a full chain of “incorporation → accounting/tax → HR → marketing → channels → financing.”
  • Unified Settlement & Evaluation: The platform handles settlement and performance tracking, building a reputation & best-practice library.

Agent Properties

  • Scalability: Highly repeatable, rule-clear flows are crystallized into reusable Agent modules for rapid replication across industries and asset types.
  • Observability: All key actions (approve/deny/request-more-info) create machine-readable compliance logs for audit transparency.
  • Infrastructure-Native: As a chain-native module, AI powers compliance, automation, and data trust.
  • Service-Provider Ecosystem: Partners can build their own AI Agents atop NGC’s open framework and plug into the ecosystem.
  • Managed Service: For enterprises needing help, NGC can deploy and operate Agents on their behalf.

Service Philosophy​

Entering Japan typically requires incorporation, legal, accounting, recruiting, marketing, channel development, financing, and brand localization. Traditionally, these are delivered by fragmented vendors without unified standards or progress control, resulting in higher cost, lower efficiency, and elevated risk.

NGC repackages these steps into standardized service bundles and delivers via a hybrid model of AI Agent automation + human expert support, lowering trial-and-error costs while maintaining compliance and delivery quality.

Three Core Service Bundles​

Basic Bundle

  • Scope: Company registration, legal compliance, bookkeeping.
  • Goal: Help enterprises meet basic market-entry requirements and legally establish an operating entity.
  • AI Role: Automated document translation & pre-check, KYC verification, preliminary review of accounting vouchers.
  • Human Role: Final review and submission by attorneys and certified accountants.

Growth Bundle

  • Scope: Recruiting & HR support, marketing, local channel onboarding.
  • Goal: Build team and market foundation to accelerate growth.
  • AI Role: Candidate screening, recruiting workflow tracking, market data analysis, channel profiling.
  • Human Role: HR consultants for interviews; marketing experts for localized campaign execution.

Advanced Bundle

  • Scope: Financing support (RWA token issuance), brand localization, strategic partnerships.
  • Goal: Access capital markets and establish long-term brand presence and partnerships in Japan.
  • AI Role: Pre-review of financing documents, investor matching, brand sentiment monitoring.
  • Human Role: IB advisors, strategy and brand consultants to connect enterprises with Japanese institutions for long-term cooperation. For detailed service scope, see our website or contact us.

Hybrid Delivery with AI Agents​

"AI Agent automation + human expert review":

  • AI Agents handle ~80% of standardized, repetitive tasks (documents, KYC, market monitoring, progress tracking).
  • Human experts focus on the remaining ~20% of complex, high-value tasks (legal interpretation, strategic negotiations, investment facilitation).
  • The platform provides unified settlement and performance evaluation, ensuring delivery is traceable and auditable.

This model achieves scale and low cost while preserving human assurance for high-risk steps—helping overseas enterprises land faster, reduce risk, and improve success rates in Japan.

Technical Architecture & Implementation​

On-Chain Integration​

NGC deeply embeds AI modules in the chain’s base layer. Through account abstraction (ERC-4337/Paymaster), enterprises and service providers can trigger on-chain transactions directly with fiat or stablecoins; behind the scenes, AI Agents complete signatures and calls, drastically lowering the barrier for non-crypto users. Modular smart contracts map AI capabilities to standard interfaces (e.g., verifyKYC(), checkInvoice(), matchContract()), and all results are emitted as on-chain events to form transparent, auditable compliance logs.

Data & Compliance Layer​

NGC combines Oracles and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to access authoritative data sources (business registries, sanctions lists, invoice authentication, etc.), ensuring trustworthy and tamper-resistant inputs. The AI module performs OCR and semantic parsing of contracts, invoices, and IDs to structure the data, cross-checks with off-chain sources, and only writes the results on-chain—preserving privacy while providing verifiable audit evidence. Compliance modules cover KYC, AML, and qualified-investor checks, with outputs encapsulated in smart-contract results for direct regulator/auditor review.

Security, Governance & Evolution​

AI modules, like smart contracts, undergo independent external audits covering logic safety, permission boundaries, and attack resistance. In governance, NGC token holders can vote on AI module upgrades, API exposure, and privacy policies, aligning transparency and incentives across the ecosystem. Looking ahead, we will introduce federated learning and privacy-preserving computation to avoid centralized storage of sensitive enterprise data. Roadmap of AI evolution:

  • Short term (2025–2026): compliance & document review assistance;
  • Mid term (2026–2027): take over most procedural tasks (auto-reporting, market surveillance);
  • Long term (2027+): AI Agents evolve into autonomous service nodes capable of independent intake, execution, and settlement—forming an AI-native service marketplace.

Token Economics​

NGC​

Utility

  • Governance: Hold & stake NGC to vote on platform matters (compliance upgrades, fee adjustments, AI module openness, etc.).
  • Discounts: Pay service bundles in NGC to receive fee discounts.
  • Staking: Service providers must stake NGC as performance bonds; enterprises/investors unlock higher-tier benefits via staking.
  • AI Invocation: Running AI Agents, document processing, and compliance modules consumes NGC.
  • Buyback & Burn: A portion of platform profits will buy back and burn NGC, creating long-term deflationary pressure.

Highlights

  • All AI Agent calls must consume NGC—making it the fuel of the platform (gas-like utility).
  • Token economics are usage-anchored, not purely speculation-driven.

RWA Tokens — Project Financing & Redemption​

  • Independent Issuance: Each Japan-entry project issues its own RWA token tied to specific assets or financing purposes.
  • Lifecycle:
    • Contract verification (agreements between enterprise and service providers validated by AI + compliance modules);
    • Tokenization (map funding needs to on-chain RWA tokens);
    • Investment (investors participate with fiat, stablecoins, or NGC);
    • Redemption (enterprise redeems principal & yield per contract);
    • Burn (redeemed tokens burn automatically to close the loop).
  • Nature: Debt/income-certificate-like tokens; no governance; represent rights under a specific financing contract.

Value Flows & Roles​

  • Enterprise ↔ Investor:

Enterprises finance via RWA tokens; investors subscribe and receive returns.

  • Enterprise ↔ Platform (NGC):

During landing & financing, enterprises pay platform service fees (in NGC or fiat). Paying in NGC strengthens token circulation.

  • Service Provider ↔ Platform:

Service providers (incorporation, legal, accounting, recruiting, channels) must stake NGC to join and earn NGC rewards for completed tasks.

  • AI Agent ↔ Platform:

AI Agents consume NGC via API calls for document extraction, compliance screening, market analysis; NGC can provide managed operations when needed.
