Web3.0×ゴルフの新境地 ワンダーウォールが描く「GOLFIN」の未来 ワンダーウォール 小松賢インタビュー

Encounter with blockchain after repeated failures

Please tell us about Wonderwall Inc.'s business activities and current efforts.

Komatsu Ken (hereinafter, Komatsu): We are a system development company that is in our eighth fiscal year. We are currently developing a golf game called "GOLFIN" that combines Web 3.0 with real golf.

When did you first encounter the Web 3.0 field?

Komatsu: I think it was around 2014. After graduating from university in 2010, I worked as a salesperson for a used car sales company. I had been managing and creating a used car information site, so I went independent with that technology.

However, I started about 17 businesses, and 15 of them failed. So I started reading various books to re-study what finance and economics are. During that time, I came across an innovative system called blockchain and became fascinated.
