SBT (Soulbound Tokens) and Trust Tokens (Concept): A Comparison of Two Approaches to Redesigning Trust

As discussions around Web3 and decentralized systems deepen, a crucial question arises: how can I represent and leverage not just financial value, but also individual identity, reputation, and "trust" itself in the digital realm? One concept that has garnered significant attention is Soulbound Tokens (SBTs), proposed by Vitalik Buterin and others.

Designing a High-Performance, Reliable System: Integrating Notion, Astro, and Cloudflare's Edge (Workers KV & CDN)

When using Notion as a headless CMS to build a blog with the Astro framework, improving article load speed, enhancing user experience, and ensuring the reliability of content updates are critical challenges. In particular, issues such as delayed rendering of long-form articles and the lack of real-time reflection of updates made in Notion can significantly impact the overall quality of site operations.

Conserving Resources, Building Value on Trust: The Future of the "Trust Economy" Illustrated by Alternun and Domun

Blockchain technology is reconnecting value between financial systems and the real economy, which were historically separated, paving the way for new economic possibilities. Among these, ReDeFi (Regenerative Decentralized Finance), as approached by the Alternun team, is noteworthy. Its design philosophy goes beyond mere financial decentralization, placing environmental and social regeneration at its core.

DOMUN: A Proposed New Currency to Redesign Trust, Institutions, and Society

We explore the foundational question, "What is currency in its essence?" and, drawing on the structural limitations of both fiat money and existing cryptocurrencies, we propose the creation of a new currency model—Domun. Its core aim is to design a global digital currency that surpasses the Euro and Bitcoin not only in trustworthiness but also in institutional robustness and long-term sustainability.

Redesigning Social Systems: The "Trinity" Model with National OS, Urban Commons, and Domun

We now find ourselves amidst a historic turning point. The national systems that once brought stability and growth are revealing their rigidity and limits of adaptability in the face of tectonic shifts like globalization, digitalization, and climate change. As a response to this structural crisis, this paper proposes the "Trinity Concept," an integrated architecture for reconceptualizing and redesigning the social system itself, much like software, imbuing it with reliability, adaptability, and ethics.

Urban Commons: A Vision for the City of the Future

The Urban Commons concept that we explore in this paper is an attempt to inherit the national os idea and envision an implementation layer based on a more familiar urban setting. This is a future-oriented vision that seeks to build a new social contract by redefining cities as common property (commons) to be shared and managed autonomously by citizens, rather than belonging to a few powerful people or bureaucrats.

5-Stage Thinking Framework for Envisioning the Future – An Intellectual Process from Thought to Implementation

In this article, I introduce the "5-Stage Thinking for Envisioning the Future" framework, which I have cultivated through my daily explorations and projects. This is an intellectual process for future design that goes beyond mere idealism; it is an endeavor to connect thought with implementation and continuously evolve.

Why Japan Struggles to Produce Global Breakthroughs: Challenging Our Assumptions

Why hasn't Japan produced companies like PayPal, Amazon, SpaceX, or OpenAI? Why do world-changing products that challenge the very assumptions of society rarely emerge from this country? Despite Japan’s advanced technological capabilities, diligent national character, and a strong track record as an economic powerhouse, the nation has yet to fully realize its potential to create products that meet or define global standards.
