Astar Network Launches "Yoki Origins" On-Chain Incentive System: Merging Japanese Tradition with Web3 Innovation
Launch Time: March 7, 19:00 JST / 10:00 UTC
Astar Network has officially launched Astar zkEVM, a zero-knowledge proof-based Ethereum Layer 2 network, and initiated "Yoki Origins," a Web3 exploration campaign inspired by Japan's rich culture and folklore. This initiative brings together leading Japanese corporations from manufacturing and consumer sectors alongside blue-chip Web3 projects—each represented by a unique set of digital collectibles (NFTs) to be released in batches over the next two months—designed to incentivize on-chain interactions for both Web3 and traditional users.
Previously, Astar Network and its underlying development company secured investments from industry leaders including Sony, NTT Docomo, Samsung, UOB Singapore, Polychain, Coinbase Ventures, and Binance Labs. They also established Astar Labs, a consortium of 329 companies including Toyota, MUFG Bank, Deloitte Japan, and Shibuya City Government, which was announced via Japan’s leading media outlet, Nikkei.

Astar zkEVM Transforms User Onboarding into a Gamified Experience via "Yoki Origins"
The "Yoki Origins" campaign, launching today, celebrates the debut of Astar zkEVM. Participants can enjoy a gamified experience that highlights the unmatched accessibility of the Astar Network ecosystem. Alongside world-class Web3 projects, several leading Japanese enterprises and renowned creators are participating by distributing and selling unique digital collectibles through customized "Yo-Port" machines and toy capsule dispensers featured on the Yoki Origins website.
Notable Japanese companies participating in Yoki Origins include:

Astar Network will also provide original characters called "Yoki," created by Japanese illustrators. Participants can collect and evolve their Yoki by gathering multiple characters and in-game items called "OMA," while accumulating points. As an exciting educational experience benefiting the entire Astar Network ecosystem, participants can explore real-world use cases and benefits across multiple projects within the Astar zkEVM ecosystem—all while having fun!
Users can hold specific Yoki that evolve to unlock various utilities—such as granting holders premium access on XO (one of the largest web3 dating apps), or providing a DappRadar Pro subscription (the world’s leading dApp analytics tool), among others.
Double your OMA within one week starting today!
To celebrate the launch of Yoki Origins and for a limited time only, participants will receive double their daily OMA allowance! The offer ends on March 14.
