Industry veterans and young developers tackle blockchain and My Number cards - An interview with AokiApp's Aoki Yuki

Please tell us how AokiApp was founded and what business you are working on.

Aoki Yuki (hereinafter, Aoki): I have thoroughly studied computer science through my studies and research at university, and at the same time, I have gained practical experience in the blockchain industry.

I launched AokiApp in 2023 with the desire to use those skills to create my own business. Currently, I am working on contract development and in-house development, leveraging my strengths in technology and knowledge related to My Number cards and blockchain.

How did you become interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain in the first place?

Aoki: In 2016, I became interested in Monacoin (MONA), which is a domestic cryptocurrency that can be mined. Then in 2017, I developed "Monya", a smartphone app wallet that supports Japanese, which was rare at the time.
