プロダクト開発の環境が、ここ半年で本当に変わったなと思う。
プロマネ→アジャイル、っていう進化の話はもう古くて、Vibe Codingが出てから「アイデアさえあれば誰でも作れる」フェーズに入った。社内でどの案が良いか議論してる間に、個人がAIをチーム化してとりあえず走らせちゃう。
実際、投資先で一番プロダクト開発が上手いチームがまさにこれをVibe Coding以前で実行していた。
1-2週間で5〜10個プロダクトのアイデアを作って、とにかくローンチ。数を増やして、生き残ったものだけ本開発に進める。打席に立つ回数で勝負してる。
この流れの何が強いって、開発途中で溜まる知見や経験がそのまま糧になること。
次のプロダクトづくりにも、投資家への訴求にも効いてくる。アジャイルの次のフェーズが入っていて、加速する一方。

Your AI agent can now discover APIs on its own.
Decixa indexes 20,000+ x402-enabled APIs — verified, classified, and ready to call.
One command in Claude Code:
→ npx decixa-mcp
Stop hardcoding endpoints. Let your agent pick the right API.

ai.com sold for $70M. You know what your cut was? Zero.
That's because the domain market has operated like a private club since day one. Closed-door brokers or invite only auctions. Deals settled by wire between people who already know each other.
You saw the headline. Maybe you thought "that's wild." Then you moved on with your day, because there was zero way to get involved. No fractional ownership. No public market. Just a wire transfer between two parties you've never heard of.
That's been the reality of domain investing. Until now.
We're cracking it open. On Base 🟦

ENS built one of crypto's most loyal communities: nearly 800K owners, 1.7M names registered, 750 app integrations.

DNS meets Ethereum infrastructure without any complexities. Excited to work with @ensdomains and its community!

3. 🇯🇵 Japan
• Focus: Gaming, NFTs
• Messaging Apps: LINE, Twitter
• Top Platforms: Soneium, Line
• Key Strategies:
> Leverage LINE’s massive user base
> Target gamers and anime fans via NFT/GameFi campaigns
> Utilise cultural IPs for more authentic storytelling
The Mt. Gox bankruptcy in 2014 and the Coincheck hack in 2018 prompted Japanese regulators to implement stricter security standards for exchanges. Despite this, they remain a significant player in the global crypto landscape with tons of active traders and crypto users. High trading volumes, especially for Bitcoin and alts.
Crypto has slowly been integrated with various e-commerce platforms and point-of-sale systems, and various payment services are available for Japanese users.
The NFT and GameFi sectors are steadily growing, which builds on Japan's strong gaming + anime/art culture —> crypto games/consumer dApps will find it meaningful to market to Japanese users due to large pool of gamers.
@LINE_Global is the 2nd most used app in Japan and the biggest messaging app with over 95 million monthly active users, covering more than 68% of the Japanese population.
A robust Japanese GTM strategy involves targeting users on this platform, while dApps may also want to use @KaiaChain’s dApp portal which they have signed an exclusive partnership with Line to launch mini dApps (games and consumer apps) for distribution.
Larger ecosystems include @soneium an L2 developed by Sony Block Solutions Lab to bridge Web3 with mainstream consumer applications and potentially leveraging on the IPs that Sony houses, @oasyschain and @AstarNetwork.
