Delegate Statement

Tané is the Blockchain Network Operator, focusing on building the decentralized world that empowers individuals. Please consider delegating to us!

Intro to Tané

Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI, closely work with the big Japanese enterprises and have great relationship with Japanese crypto communities.

Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovating projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being validators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them.

Why we chose to be an Optimism delegate

There are many users and traders using L2 chains in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents the Japanese users and token holders by being active in the governance, leveraging the partnership with Japanese enterprises and making meaningful impacts on the protocols and the ecosystem.

Our view on the Optimistic Vision

At Tané, we are particularly passionate about making positive impact which will lead to the profit to all of the stakeholders. We value practical contributions to the protocol and direct involvements in the discussions and voting activities in the DAO.

Our skills and areas of expertise

We are a group of crypto-native product builders and entrepreneurs who have experienced in building products as well as being in the crypto space long enough to understand the importance of building great products and achieving the decentralization and empowerment of individuals.

Takeshi, Head of Network Operations, who worked for Twitter as a software engineer and for SmartNews, a Japanese unicorn startup that provides a news aggregation mobile app with 30M MAU as a product manager.
One of our engineers was one of the founding engineers for LINE, the Japanese mobile messaging app with over 200M active users. He also built an Opensea-like NFT marketplace (acquired by SBI at a $25M valuation) and developed a popular NFT collection, NOT A HOTEL (sold $30m as a revenue) in Japan.

Languages we speak and write

English, and Japanese

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

Our investment arm has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Optimism.

We have read and understood the Working Constitution and Delegate Commitments and understand that becoming a delegate is a significant commitment. We would like to collaborate with all the delegates and stakeholders to make the protocols and Optimism Collective better and be a good Optimist. Thank you!
