Kamirai launches VC-free Web3 “dual-engine” ecosystem

Kamirai launches a VC-free, community-governed Web3 ecosystem combining its Kamirex DEX for Asian markets with a dark fantasy console RPG where players own on-chain assets.

Kamirai, a Web3 infrastructure project, announced the launch of its “Dual-Engine Ecosystem” on Friday, according to a company statement. The project has positioned itself as a community-governed protocol without traditional venture capital allocations.

The platform combines a decentralized exchange called Kamirex with an action role-playing game designed for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, according to the announcement. The company stated the system aims to create an economy driven by user activity rather than speculative trading.

The ecosystem consists of two components, according to Kamirai. Kamirex serves as a decentralized exchange (DEX) targeting Asian markets, featuring order matching and liquidity pools for cross-chain asset transfers. The Kamirai Federation is described as a dark fantasy action-RPG where in-game assets are verified on blockchain technology, allowing players to maintain ownership of digital items.

“The era of the ‘user-as-product’ is ending,” stated Renjiro Takashima, Lead Visionary of Kamirai. “We observed a market saturated with VC-controlled projects where the community is merely exit liquidity. Kamirai is the antithesis of this model.”

Takashima added that the project represents “a financial civilization where the gamers and the traders are the governors.”

The company stated its rejection of private equity funding distinguishes it from other cryptocurrency projects. According to Kamirai, eliminating centralized equity holders removes potential sell pressure associated with venture capital-backed launches.

The project is currently completing technical certification for cross-platform integration, aiming to bridge console hardware with decentralized ledger systems, according to the statement.

Kamirai is based in Tokyo, Japan, and operates under a decentralized governance model. The company stated that both the Kamirex exchange and the gaming platform remain community-owned.
