Kyuzan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takumi Takahashi) which aims to create innovative experiences through blockchain, started offering "MOUNTAIN" after renewing the name, logo, and icon of the Web3 development platform "Mint" on July 26, 2023.

Background of Name and Logo Renewal

"Mint" has been supporting Web3 projects by global creators, brands, and IP owners, such as Rhizomatiks NFT Experiment※1, which sold Perfume's first NFT art and the world's most advanced music NFT market "ABCRECORDS"※2, as a Web3 development platform that can express unique brand personalities.

While many companies are entering the Web3 market, acquiring more users and aiming to provide sustainable services than ever before, there is a growing need to not only issue and sell NFTs but also provide user experiences that increase the value of NFTs. Therefore, Web3 applications that integrate a variety of Web3 ecosystems' technologies and tools seamlessly designed and developed are required.

In line with the reality of the Web3 market, which requires creating not only simples NFTs but also entirely new experiences that only become possible through Web3, Kyuzan shifted its focus from "Mint" to "MOUNTAIN."

Motivations Behind the Logo

The identity of MOUNTAIN was created based on "Sakasa Fuji", a Japanese picturesque landscape that combines a virtual image of Mount Fuji reflected on water with the real Mount Fuji. MOUNTAIN's identity symbolizes the creation of new experiences that blend between virtual and real worlds.

MOUNTAIN's Strength: One-stop Realization of the Best User Experience

① The Best Web3 Experience and Usability for End-users

MOUNTAIN reflects the development expertise cultivated by Kyuzan for more than five years. It can pay without choosing a payment currency, bear the large scale of traffic that reaches over 100,000 MAUs, create user-first Web3 services without assuming the ownership of a wallet and without making users bear GAS fees.

② All-in-One Development and Operation of Web3 Services for Businesses

Kyuzan has been focusing on the development and operation of Web3 products for over five years. Over that time, many Web3 technologies and development tools have emerged, lowering hurdles for creating superior user experience. However, service providers still find it difficult to choose the right tools from many options to achieve their desired use cases, and the barrier for new businesses to venture into Web3 remains high.

MOUNTAIN allows you to easily combine the latest Web3 tech stacks that fit your business needs while always updating the best Web3 development practices. It supports not only NFT sales but also Web3 services' sustainable growth.

Within the MOUNTAIN Dashboard, you can develop your own contracts and manage NFTs with no code. Moreover, you can easily construct Web3 applications and integrate with existing applications and systems using the MOUNTAIN API/SDK. It also provides a one-stop solution for essential features for Web3 business development, such as wallet management, key management, customer management, and financial reporting, in the post-service release operation phase, where challenges arise for enterprise companies.

Concrete Use Cases

MOUNTAIN has a proven track record of use cases in various fields, including games, fashion, EC, art, music, and publishing, for enterprise companies.

You can create a new brand experience that captures the value of the blockchain as the core of the service. The following are some examples of companies that have leveraged Web3 to create new services or improve the value of existing services:

● Drop, auction, and fixed price sales of NFT collections

● Provision of websites, content, and products limited to token holders

● Web3 Games

MOUNTAIN is looking for companions to "climb the mountain" together in the Web3 world, creating new user experiences and products through Web3.
