Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Executive Summary
$YURU is a new meme coin project that merges Japan’s “Yuru-chara” culture with Web3 technology. Currently built on the Solana blockchain, it operates with minimal smart contract functionality and basic coin issuance. Moving forward, the project aims to expand the global presence of Yuru-chara culture, integrate with the real economy, and establish a sustainable ecosystem.
This project is not intended for sales or financial product offerings within Japan but is designed to build an ecosystem for the global market.
1.2 Background of the YURU Protocol
The global meme coin market has been growing rapidly, surpassing a market capitalization of $140 billion (approximately 21 trillion JPY) in 2024. However, most meme coins are primarily speculative assets with little to no connection to the real economy.
The YURU Protocol aims to establish a new utility-driven meme coin model by combining Japan’s Yuru-chara culture with blockchain technology. This initiative seeks to seamlessly integrate regional economies with Web3 technology, serving as a bridge between the real and digital economies.
- YURUCOIN is not intended for sales or trading within Japan.
- The project is issued for global markets, and no registration as a crypto asset exchange operator has been made within Japan.
- Domestic distribution of YURUCOIN complies with Japan’s Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, with a maximum value of 1,000 JPY per distribution.
1.3 13-Year Track Record of the Yuru Chara Grand Prix
The Yuru Chara Grand Prix was launched in 2011 and has been introducing regional mascot characters across Japan for over 13 years, contributing significantly to regional revitalization.
The strong brand recognition and established community base built over these years will be a key factor in ensuring the success of the YURU Protocol.
1.3 13-Year Track Record of the Yuru Chara Grand Prix (Continued)
- Total Votes: Over 170 million cumulative votes
- Total Website Views: 738 million total page views
- Total Event Visitors: 240,000 attendees across all events
- Total Participating Characters: Approximately 5,000 mascots
Building on this proven track record, the YURU Protocol aims to grow as a meme coin with strong viral potential while positively impacting regional economies.
1.4 Development and Achievements of Yuru-Verse (2023-2024)
In 2023, as part of the YURU Protocol’s metaverse expansion, the “Yuru-Verse” was launched on the ROBLOX platform.
- Within one month of launch, the platform gained over 100,000 users.
- More than 90% of users were from overseas, marking a significant success in global expansion.
This rapid adoption demonstrates the global appeal of Yuru-chara culture and its potential as a digital asset in the Web3 ecosystem.
1.4 Key Features of Yuru-Verse
- Character Avatar Integration: Users can control their favorite Yuru-chara avatars and explore the virtual world.
- Experience Regional Culture: Specialties and local cultures are recreated within the metaverse to introduce users to Japan’s rich heritage.
- Play and Earn Model: Users can earn YURUCOIN through gameplay, making participation rewarding.
Building on this success, YURU Protocol will expand partnerships with more regions and further deepen the integration between the real and digital worlds.
1.5 Market Analysis and Opportunities
Since 2024, the meme coin market has undergone a transformation. It is shifting from purely speculative assets to utility-driven meme coins that offer real-world use cases.
In Japan, the 2025 revision of the Hometown Tax Donation System (Furusato Nozei) has created demand for new economic players to revitalize regional economies. While major platforms like Rakuten and Satofull dominate the market, the rise of Web3-based solutions presents new opportunities for entrants.
Additionally, the metaverse market is projected to grow to approximately 800 trillion JPY by 2030. YURU Protocol aims to capitalize on this trend, bridging regional economies with metaverse applications.
1.6 Project Objectives and Vision
YURU Protocol is guided by the vision of “Transforming Local Charm into Global Economic Value.” By combining the viral nature of meme coins with tangible economic benefits, the project aims to build a sustainable economic ecosystem.
Key Goals:
- 2025: 200 participating characters, 1 million monthly active users
- 2026: 500,000 monthly participants in global metaverse events
- 2027: ¥100 billion total transaction volume on the protocol
- 2030: Average 30% increase in hometown tax revenue in participating regions
