Introduction

Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai, and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI.

Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovative projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being node operators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them. We have been active as delegates in Arbitrum, Optimism, Uniswap, and more.

Takeshi, Head of Network Operations, who worked for Twitter as a senior software engineer and for SmartNews, a Japanese unicorn startup that provides a news aggregation mobile app with 30M MAU as a product manager, is the main representative of the account.

Motivation

We believe we can contribute to Scroll in many different ways.
Our unique experience and expertises outlined below should contribute to critical feedback and comments on technical upgrades, user experience improvements, and expanstion to the Japan/Asian market, which are to be discussed and delivered by collaborating with Scroll contributors.

Expertise in tech and UX

With our background, which includes serial entrepreneurs, product managers, and software engineers, we have strong expertise in both technology and user experience. This collective expertise enables us to offer critical feedback on technical upgrades as well as user experience improvements.

Japan representative

There are many users and traders using crypto products in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents the Japanese users and token holders by being active in the governance.

Values and Decision-Making Approach

We have established our Delegate Core Values as below and demonstrated our delegate activities and decision makings based on them.

Integrity

We value integrity a lot. We believe integrity is the most important virtue even in the industry that values trustless and permissionless. In fact, even though we should aim for governance minimization in the end, the protocols should still need governance and it requires capable and sincere participants. We should be the one of them.

Diversity

Diversity is one of the most important values to achieve decentralization. We are very unique in various perspectives including the geographical diversity (Japan and Asia). We also value diversities provided by other actors and are willing to appreciate them and collaborations with them.

Practicality

We believe in the progressive decentralization. While considering the decentralization is the ultimate goal for crypto/blockchain projects to achieve, we sometimes value practicality and approaches that get things done rather than getting stuck in pursuing the “decentralization” too much from the start.

Transparency

We believe transparency is the vital trait in the decentralized systems. We communicate our findings, feedback, opinions, disagreements and praises in a clear and constructive manner. We believe transparent communications should lead to better discussions and decisions to thrive.

Disclosures

Our investment arm, as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Scroll. We are also active in the other DAOs, Arbitrum, Optimism (S6 Grants Council member), Uniswap and more in the future.

We will update our voting activities and rationales behind them in this thread. Please reach out to us anytime when you have any opinions/comments/feedback.

You can also check out our voting activities related to Scroll from our internal tracker.

Waiver of Liability

By delegating to Tané, you acknowledge and agree that Tané will participate on a best-efforts basis and will not be liable for any damages related to participation in Scroll or its DAO.
