Stablecoin(JPYC) Innovation Challenge 2025

The CAC Corporation, committed to driving digital innovation within society and industry, alongside Komlock Lab and TECHFUND Inc., is thrilled to announce the Stablecoin(JPYC) Innovation Challenge 2025. This ideathon is set to take place from December 9, 2025, to January 23, 2026, and aims to explore how stablecoins can address real business issues.

Event Overview

As blockchain technology continues to advance, stablecoins have emerged as a highly compatible solution for existing industries. This ideathon seeks inventive solutions that not only leverage technical capabilities but also address genuine business challenges faced by traditional sectors (Web2). The primary focus will be on how stablecoins can resolve the 'pain points' across various industries such as e-commerce, real estate, entertainment, logistics, and accounting.

We invite participants to present their innovative ideas! Teams capable of creating prototypes (MVPs) will receive bonus points during evaluation, though this is not a requirement for participation. Individuals or teams can also enter with just a proposal via slides, providing an opportunity for those without coding skills, such as business professionals or student teams, to claim victory based on their ideas and passion.

Prize Total

The current confirmed prize amount stands at 600,000 JPY. Participating sponsoring companies will contribute to an increase in the total prize pool as the event progresses. Detailed allocations of the awards and total prize amounts will be disclosed on the event page at a later date.

Judging Criteria

This event aims to go beyond simple idea generation, placing emphasis on the 'resolution quality' considering social implementation. The evaluation criteria are as follows:
1. Innovativeness: Whether the idea effectively utilizes the unique attributes of stablecoins to transform existing business models or practices.
2. Feasibility: A clear action plan detailing the technical and business paths that lead to implementation is vital. Abstract ideas generated solely through AI or similar means will not suffice; focus must be on the specifics of who, when, and how.
3. Social Impact: Assessing the extent to which the proposed solution alleviates problems and generates economic benefits.
