In Edoverse, the city of Edo will be reproduced in a virtual space, and users will participate with avatars. You can exchange NFT art and various services developed in Edoverse with tokens (virtual currency) called Edo Coban / Edo Zeni as assets.
In addition to recreating the city of Edo, we have built a unique ecosystem within Edoverse by introducing values unique to Edo culture into the virtual space. The concept is to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

Also, Tokugawa who opened up the Edo period. Ieyasu’s aim was to eliminate war and build a highly sustainable city and system. In that sense, I think that you can fully feel the significance of contributing to society. ” I put it in.
Established Edoverse Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shinwa Wise Holdings Co., Ltd., with an eye on the construction of Edoverse. Over the next year, we will build a closed beta version and aim to release an open beta version by 2023.
As the momentum for the birth of Metaverse increases worldwide, I am looking forward to the future development of Edoverse, which was born from a unique idea linked to the cultural values and ideas of Edo.
