History

The ancient gold ryō coin held immense influence as a currency for the masses during the Tokugawa period, becoming both a cornerstone of trade and a mark of economic stability. Its widespread circulation fueled the urbanization and prosperity of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and other major centers, serving not only as a medium of exchange but also as a reflection of one’s social standing. The samurai class, positioned at the top of the hierarchy, received stipends in gold ryō from the very shogunate they were sworn to protect. Its cultural impact was profound, shaping artistic expression and reinforcing the sense of pride in one’s craft.

In essence, the gold ryō transcended its role as currency, leaving an enduring imprint on the social, economic, and cultural fabric of Japan. Though no longer in circulation, this once-powerful emblem of the shogunate era continues to hold deep historical resonance, echoing within Japan’s collective memory.

Japan Web3

Japan was among the first nations to fully embrace Web3 technology and remains a leading force in the early adoption of digital payment systems by the public. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s Web3 project team even published a white paper outlining recommendations to accelerate the growth of the crypto industry — a key component of the Prime Minister’s strategy to champion emerging technologies.

While other governments are still racing to build regulatory frameworks, Japan has long been ahead of the curve. In March 2018, it established the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association (JVCEA) as a self-regulatory body under the Payment Services Act (PSA), ensuring unified oversight of domestic virtual currency exchanges and enhanced consumer protection. With this proactive stance, Japan is not only setting global standards for Web3 regulation but also developing progressive guidelines for stablecoins, NFTs, and DAOs — paving the way for a truly crypto-friendly future.

By surpassing Japan’s rigorous regulatory thresholds, RYO is on track to make history as the first Japanese-born digital asset to earn global recognition for shaping the next era of digital payments. With its visionary ecosystem and groundbreaking payment infrastructure, RYO brings a new level of simplicity, accessibility, and user-friendliness to the Web3 space, empowering everyday users to seamlessly integrate digital payments into their daily lives.

RYO Core Multi-Layer Blockchain

Introduced in October 2008, Bitcoin was created as a decentralized form of currency to improve everyday life for people around the world — a vision that, ultimately, was never fully realized. As people grow increasingly disillusioned with the limitations of centralized financial systems, we recognize that the time is right to bring banking to the masses with RYO — the most advanced, user-friendly cryptocurrency in existence today. To make this vision a reality, we assembled some of the brightest minds in the blockchain space to develop a next-generation cryptocurrency powered by the RYO Core Blockchain®.

Today, the blockchain industry is undeniably complex. A closer look at the vast array of cryptocurrencies reveals that many are simply decentralized applications built on modified versions of existing platforms, burdened by fundamental flaws and technical limitations. In contrast, RYO and its ecosystem have been meticulously engineered from the ground up, supported by millions of dollars in funding. This significant investment empowers the RYO development team to push the boundaries of blockchain functionality and usability.

Rather than focusing on a single aspect of the crypto landscape — such as limiting digital currency to transactions — Zenza Capital is developing a versatile, multi-layer blockchain ecosystem with cross-chain interoperability. This innovative foundation will deliver unmatched transaction speeds, advanced security, and exceptional flexibility, scalability, and ease of use — ushering in a new era of blockchain excellence. The RYO Core Blockchain stands apart, empowering people from all walks of life to fully harness the potential of blockchain technology through an intuitive, seamless user experience.

Our vision is clear: to see RYO become the world’s most trusted and widely used digital currency on the planet!
