We are pleased to announce that AURAM Inc. has been selected for the accelerator program "AUTON." This marks the first accelerator program participation for AURAM.

Background & Purpose
Under our vision of "Unlocking the Latent Value of Physical Assets," AURAM addresses the long-standing structural challenges of liquidity, transparency, and provenance proof in the physical asset market — including gold ingots — through the power of technology and business.
Through our participation in AUTON, we are taking on the challenge of creating new value through the fusion of AI technology and DeFi (Decentralized Finance). We will advance the digital provenance management on blockchain — a core capability of our physical asset trading platform "KINGOT" — and explore a new form of asset trading that combines AI-driven automation with decentralized financial mechanisms, delivering unprecedented levels of security, transparency, and efficiency.
Technical Development Led by Our CEO
Our CEO Kazuhiro Fukuda brings a research background in multi-agent systems from his time at the Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University. Long before the current AI boom, he was already engaged in studying the behavior of autonomous agents that cooperate and compete with one another, along with the theoretical foundations that support them.
Throughout this AUTON program, Fukuda will personally lead the technical development for the on-chain digital provenance management implementation. By bringing together insights from his multi-agent research with hands-on product development experience accumulated through multiple ventures, he will refine AURAM's core technology base.
Demo Day at WebX 2026
AUTON's demo day is scheduled to take place during WebX, an international blockchain conference, on July 13–14, 2026. With support from the program's mentor companies, we will further deepen our business model and prepare for our presentation at the demo day.
Looking Ahead
Through our engagement in the AUTON program, we will further strengthen our business and technical foundations, accelerating our work to resolve the structural challenges of the physical asset market. Updates throughout the program will be shared on this site and through our official channels.
Your continued support of AURAM Inc. is greatly appreciated.
