AURAM Inc. has relocated its head office to TUNNEL TOKYO, Sumitomo Fudosan Osaki Garden Tower 9F, Nishi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.

The responses from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry have been published by METI. Ahead of the launch of an invitation-only service within this year, we are recruiting participating companies in three categories: corporations that hold gold bullion for asset preservation, corporations that use gold bullion in their business, and financial institutions. A further inquiry extending the same structure to co-ownership interests (fractional ownership) is also in preparation.

AURAM Inc. has joined the Fintech Association of Japan as a Startup Member. Through dialogue at the intersection of finance and technology, we aim to connect the recording and transfer of rights in real-world assets to financial practice.

AURAM applied the MCP server that GMO Aozora Net Bank provides in its "sunabar 2.0" sandbox environment to the settlement operations of its own platform and measured 15 test cases. We are publishing the two-layer design principle that never lets an AI agent decide whether an operation may be executed.

AURAM has been selected for the domestic program of the J-StarX Silicon Valley Extended Program, an entrepreneur development initiative run by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and JETRO. AURAM will join the bootcamp in Tokyo, held under the guidance of 500 Global, from August 17 to August 28, 2026.

AURAM took third place among 11 teams at the Demo Day of AUTON, an accelerator program focused on the fusion of AI and DeFi. Watch the full pitch video (bilingual slides) and see how AI and smart contracts together make gold-backed on-chain lending work.

AURAM conducted a proof-of-concept (PoC) of DeFi-style on-chain lending on the Avalanche Fuji testnet, lending crypto-assets (WAVAX) against an NFT that records the ownership of a gold bar. We also developed an autonomous AI agent that detects and halts anomalies in gold-price data. We are now inviting partners.

Using "transfer of possession by instruction" (Article 184 of the Civil Code), AURAM recorded the ownership-transfer process of a gold-bar sale on the Avalanche Fuji testnet without moving the bar from the vault. We are now inviting trading and custody partners.

AURAM has joined two of Japan's leading blockchain industry bodies, the JBA and the BCCC. Through their study sessions and networking, we will expand our knowledge and connections and advance reliable rails for recording and transferring rights in real-world assets (RWA).

We have launched a demo site for KINGOT. Explore the screens — from browsing products to buying, selling, and pledging collateral — without registering. The no-login demo is available in Japanese and English; the post-login experience is currently in Japanese only.

AURAM has been selected for AUTON, our first-ever accelerator program participation. Aiming for new value through AI × DeFi, we are preparing for the demo day at WebX 2026 in July.
