Datachain, Inc. (CEO: Tetsushi Hisata; hereinafter “Datachain”), which is engaged in building next-generation financial and payment infrastructure leveraging blockchain technology, is pleased to announce the launch of the early access version of “Datachain Wallet,” a Web3 wallet designed for enterprise use of stablecoins and digital assets.

Datachain Wallet is an enterprise wallet developed in-house that combines internal-control capabilities through approval workflows and multi-signature (multi-party approval), Passkey-based key management, gasless transactions that reduce operational overhead, and on-chain privacy together with compliance^*1. It addresses challenges that are difficult for typical Web3 wallets to handle in corporate operations, including approval processes, access control, audit readiness, gas fee management, and the protection and accountability of transaction data.

The early access version offers a limited set of features to a wide range of enterprises considering the use of stablecoins and digital assets, from financial institutions, payment service providers, and Web3 companies to general operating companies. Feedback from real-world use will be incorporated into the development of the full version, which Datachain aims to launch within 2026.

Background

In Japan, the amended Payment Services Act, which took effect in June 2023, positioned stablecoins as “electronic payment instruments” under the law, and the real-world adoption of on-chain finance has been accelerating ever since. October 2025 saw the launch of “JPYC,” the first Japanese yen-denominated stablecoin, followed in June 2026 by “JPYSC,” the first trust-type yen-denominated stablecoin in Japan, which also supports large-value corporate settlements. With initiatives such as the joint issuance of a yen-denominated stablecoin by Japan’s three megabanks also underway, corporate demand for holding, transferring, and managing assets on-chain is expected to grow even further.

Most typical Web3 wallets, however, are designed primarily for individual use and present multiple challenges when used in corporate operations. In particular, private key management that depends on specific individuals, the lack of approval processes for transfers, insufficient access control and audit trails, the complexity of managing gas fees (transfer fees), and the visibility of transaction data to third parties on the blockchain are major barriers for companies seeking to use Web3 wallets in their business.

Datachain developed Datachain Wallet as a wallet that solves these challenges and enables companies to adopt on-chain finance with confidence.

Key Features of Datachain Wallet

1. Internal control through approval workflows and multi-signature

Approval workflows and role-based permissions can be configured for critical operations such as transfers. Multi-signature, which requires approval from multiple members, is also supported, preventing asset transfers by any single individual. The wallet enables operations aligned with corporate governance requirements, with full visibility into who requested each operation, who approved it, and under what permissions it was performed.

‍

2. Secure and simple key management with Passkeys

Datachain Wallet adopts Passkey technology for private key management. This reduces risks that are common challenges with typical Web3 wallets, such as the loss or leakage of seed phrases, as well as enterprise-specific operational risks such as employee departures and handovers. Users can operate the wallet securely through the familiar, everyday authentication experience of biometrics and similar methods.

‍

3. Gasless transactions that reduce operational overhead

Datachain Wallet provides a gasless mechanism that eliminates the need for user companies to individually prepare gas fees for executing transactions. It removes the accounting and operational burden of procuring, replenishing, and managing native tokens (crypto assets) for every transfer or contract execution, greatly simplifying wallet operations as a business function.

‍

4. On-chain privacy combined with compliance

Through integration with “KuraPrivacy” (https://kura.datachain.jp/), an on-chain privacy platform developed by Datachain, Datachain Wallet achieves both the protection of on-chain transaction data and compliance readiness. On public blockchains, transaction amounts, balances, counterparties, and transaction histories can be visible to third parties, making the protection of business information, counterparty information, and fund flow data a critical concern for enterprise use. At the same time, in the financial and payments domain, audits, regulatory response, and accountability to relevant stakeholders are indispensable. Datachain Wallet minimizes unnecessary disclosure of transaction data to third parties while supporting selective disclosure for audits and regulatory purposes, achieving both the confidentiality and the accountability required in practice.

‍

5. Flexibility enabled by in-house development in Japan

Datachain Wallet is developed in-house by Datachain, a Japanese company. It supports flexible delivery models tailored to each customer’s business, ranging from integration into the customer’s own services via APIs/SDKs to use as a SaaS. Datachain will also prioritize support for stablecoins, digital assets, and services issued and used in Japan, and can provide customized development to meet each customer’s unique business processes as well as accounting and compliance requirements—delivering fine-grained support aligned with Japanese business practices and the regulatory environment.

While the launch was initially planned for spring 2026, as announced in March 2026, through dialogue with companies that had pre-registered, Datachain determined that priority should be given to further developing and refining the capabilities and quality required for enterprise use, resulting in the release at this time.

Future Outlook

Building on the feedback gathered through the early access version, Datachain will continue to improve Datachain Wallet and expand its supported use cases, aiming to launch the full version within 2026.

Going forward, Datachain will continue to expand the capabilities required for enterprise use of on-chain finance—such as stablecoin payments, business-to-business transfers, and corporate treasury management—while further strengthening both privacy protection and compliance, working to build an environment in which companies, financial institutions, and payment service providers can utilize digital assets safely and in a manner suited to real-world operations.
