Web3 infrastructure and dapp platform builder; operates Astar Network and Soneium
Startale Group operates Astar Network (Japan's largest public blockchain) and co-develops Soneium with Sony Group Corporation. The tech stack is deeply native to blockchain infrastructure—Rust, Solana, Cosmos SDK, Substrate—paired with modern web tooling (Next.js, React, TypeScript). Active projects focus on wallet UX, high-throughput trading interfaces, and SDK adoption, while pain points cluster around institutional-grade performance (low-latency on-chain data, high-volume trading support), signaling a shift from hobbyist dapp tooling toward production financial infrastructure.
