Unyte

Unyte Inc., founded in October 2022 by CEO Yuki Kamiizumi, is a Tokyo-based startup specializing in blockchain technology to support Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). The company provides an integrated platform, also named Unyte, designed to facilitate the construction and advanced operational management of DAOs.

The Unyte platform addresses common challenges in community management, such as the difficulty in visualizing contributions, rewarding activities, and managing budgets. It offers a suite of tools that allows for the creation and issuance of NFTs for membership, voting rights, and contribution points. This system fosters sustained activity within a DAO by enabling governance voting and incentive design based on task completion and other contributions. To lower the barrier to entry, the platform allows users to automatically create a required crypto wallet by logging in with an email address or social media account.

Key features include a Discord bot for recording contributions, secure on-chain data storage using Polygon for transparency and proof of contribution history, and private voting enabled by technologies like zero-knowledge proofs to ensure honest feedback. The platform also has functions for task management, encrypted on-chain data storage for controlled access, and token-gated chat channels. Unyte supports clients by not only providing the platform but also offering consulting on DAO design and operation, drawing from its experience with over 70 DAOs. The company has developed "LLC Unyte," a package that assists in establishing legally compliant合同会社 (Godo Kaisha) type DAOs in Japan, complete with features for NFT-based fundraising and automatic legal document generation.

Unyte has engaged in several notable projects, including supporting a regional problem-solving project in Shibuya with Tokyu Fudosan Holdings, and the launch of Japan's first commercial facility DAO. The company is also a founding member of the Japan DAO Association, with CEO Yuki Kamiizumi serving as a representative holder. Unyte has secured funding from investors including East Ventures, Skyland Ventures, FINOLAB, and Quantum Leap Ventures.
