Astar Foundation partners with NTT Digital to foster web3 innovation and drive adoption

The partnership will primarily focus on two key areas. Firstly, by recognizing the shortage of web3 talents as a barrier to mass adoption, Astar Foundation and NTT Digital will collaborate to support individuals aspiring to pursue careers in the domain.

The initiatives will include developing the abilities and skills of interested participants, providing practical opportunities for experience, and creating a community focused on collaboration, allowing talents and projects to connect.

Secondly, since the web3 space is still in its early stages and evolving rapidly, Astar Foundation and NTT Digital will combine their expertise to enhance the technical infrastructure needed for a seamless blockchain experience and address concerns such as price volatility, cybersecurity, and fraud prevention.

The partnership aims to develop tools and measures that prioritize security, build trust among new users and adapt to changing situations within the Astar Network.

In a statement about the partnership, Sota Watanabe, the Founder of Astar Foundation, said:

 “We’re excited to partner with NTT Digital, who bring decades of experience in building tech infrastructure to drive adoption and innovation. Together, we will empower individuals and businesses to embrace the potential of web3, enabling a more inclusive, decentralized future.”

On the other hand, NTT Digital, established by NTT DoCoMo, is a global web3 enabler focused on creating a safe and accessible environment for individuals and businesses, allowing them to leverage innovative decentralized blockchain technologies.
