株式会社Orb (Orb Inc.) is a Japanese startup founded in 2014 with the mission of empowering community-based economies through their specialized middleware for building unique currencies (customized payments / unique PAY, etc.) for businesses, local governments, and various communities. The company's middleware leverages distributed ledger technology (broadly defined as blockchain) with a focus on facilitating secure and efficient transactions. The digital currency payment systems demand precision, immediacy, tamper resistance, availability, and scalability. Orb's middleware significantly reduces the complex setup and operational risks of high-difficulty payment systems. Notably, their middleware has been adopted in the regional currency platform, chiica, by 株式会社トラストバンク (Trustbank Japan), and the electronic solution for premium gift certificates by 株式会社まちのわ, a joint venture of Kyushu Electric Power, Chikubu Bank, and SBI Holdings. In the current business landscape, many companies are considering constructing their unique currencies (custom payments / unique PAY, etc.) in addition to other payment methods to enhance customer engagement and reduce transaction fees. This burgeoning demand aligns with Orb's value proposition and creates potential opportunities for growth and expansion. As of 14 February 2020, the company received a significant ¥150.00M Venture Round investment from Trustbank Japan, signaling confidence in their innovative approach and potential for market impact. With a focus on Enterprise Software, Fintech, and Information Technology industries, Orb is poised to drive change and innovation in the realm of digital currency and localized economic empowerment.
