Software Engineer, Frontend - Mercoin in Tokyo, Japan
- On April 28, 2021, Mercari Group introduced Mercoin, Inc., a newly established company with a focus on developing services related to cryptoassets and blockchain technologies. Mercoin's mission is to enhance the accessibility of financial services within the Mercari marketplace app, simplifying transactions for users. This includes enabling users to receive payment for their Mercari sales in bitcoin and providing a unified wallet function that encompasses not only Merpay's payment and remittance services but also credit, cryptoassets, and asset management features.
- Furthermore, Mercari has embarked on initiatives related to blockchain technologies, offering new avenues for value exchange.

This includes not only physical possessions and currency but also services and digital content like non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These initiatives represent Mercari's commitment to innovation and its dedication to creating a more inclusive and versatile marketplace experience for users.
