Michiaki Matsushima
Editor-in-Chief, WIRED Japan
Founder of Next Commons Lab. Pioneered the Yamakoshi Village DAO, which offers 'digital villager rights' through NFT sales featuring Nishikigoi carp. His innovative Local Coop initiative, implemented in Owase City (Mie Prefecture) and Nara City (Nara Prefecture), outsources and decentralizes public services through performance-linked methods.
Atsushi Hayashi
Founder, Next Commons Lab
Chef Editor of WIRED Japan. He and WIRED Japan focused on Plurality staff rather than hyping web3. In my view, he can advocate for plurality and provide a balanced perspective on web3, rather than just hyping it.
