On October 8, 2024, Japan's NTT Digital officially joined the Injective network as a validator, enhancing its presence in the Web3 domain.
NTT Digital: A Major Player in Web3
NTT Digital, part of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, is actively exploring various blockchain projects and partnerships to solidify its position in the industry. In May 2024, the company launched the web3 Jam initiative aimed at streamlining corporate collaboration using blockchain technology. The project already has the support of 14 companies, and NTT Digital aims to recruit more partners for co-creation opportunities.
Expansion of Injective's Validator Network
NTT Digital is not the first Japanese company to join Injective as a validator. In June, Gumi, known for popular mobile games such as Brave Frontier and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, also joined the Injective validator network. This addition strengthens Injective's presence in the Japanese market, where over five million users own cryptocurrency.
Conclusion on the Partnership
The partnership between NTT Digital and Injective opens up new possibilities for both companies in the blockchain industry. This collaboration contributes to the expansion of Injective's validator network, reinforcing its position as one of the largest PoS blockchains globally, with a focus on financial services and blockchain gaming security.
NTT Digital's entry into the Injective ecosystem as a validator highlights the company's pivotal role in advancing new technologies and opens new avenues for future projects.
