BTSE is pleased to announce the listing of RAKUICHI Token ($RKC), the native utility token of the RAKUZA ecosystem. $RKC is designed to power the RAKUZA NFT Marketplace and RAKUZA DAO, supporting a sustainable creator economy for artists, animators, and independent creators in Japan’s anime, manga, and digital art industries.
RAKUZA, in collaboration with Ashi Production Co., Ltd., is launching the Japan Creators Project, an initiative aimed at addressing the challenges faced by Japanese artists and animators. Many creators struggle with long working hours, low wages, and a lack of sustainable income. In addition, piracy remains a significant issue, depriving artists of rightful earnings. By integrating blockchain technology and NFTs, RAKUZA provides a profit-sharing model that ensures creators are fairly compensated for their work while fostering a more sustainable creative industry.
What is RAKUICHI Token ($RKC)?
RAKUICHI Token ($RKC) serves as the core medium of exchange in the RAKUZA ecosystem, offering multiple utilities beyond payments. Holders of $RKC gain access to exclusive benefits, including discounted NFT purchases, limited-time auctions, and special rewards. The token plays a key role in incentivizing user participation and expanding the reach of digital art and entertainment.
In a survey conducted by RAKUZA in 2023, over 80 percent of respondents identified the anime and manga industry as a source of national pride. However, nearly 70 percent expressed concerns about the industry’s future due to challenging working conditions and low wages. If these issues are not addressed, the shortage of skilled creators could pose long-term risks to the industry’s sustainability.
By integrating $RKC, RAKUZA is taking a step toward solving these challenges by establishing a fairer and more transparent digital economy. The introduction of Creators’ RAKUZA and NFT-based revenue models aims to help creators receive a steady and equitable income for their work.
