Pacific Meta Develops Prototype of 'Transparent Fund' Platform Enabling Anyone to Form Funds On-Chain

Pacific Meta Inc. (Minato City, Tokyo; CEO: Shota Iwasaki) has developed a prototype of the 'Transparent Fund' platform, which enables fund formation on-chain with transparent disclosure of operational status, transaction history, and fee calculations. Based on the technical foundation of this prototype, the company will begin joint discussions with funds and financial institutions.

[Note] This announcement is not intended for investment solicitation or advisory services. The prototype is an implementation experiment to verify technical and UX feasibility and does not currently involve the acceptance or management of real funds. All displayed funds, managers, and figures are fictional demo data. Actual service provision will only commence after confirming compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

What is Transparent Fund?

Transparent Fund is an implementation experiment for a platform where fund managers can launch funds on-chain, and investors can deposit funds while verifying their performance. Fund positions, trade history, cash flows, and net asset value (share price) are recorded on the blockchain and can be verified by anyone. Fee calculations and distributions are automatically executed by smart contracts.

Note that 'AutoFund,' the AI agent investment product announced by the company in March 2026, is positioned as one of the fund managers operating on this platform.

Key Features

The prototype implements the following five features. *Note: Screens shown are sample demo data.

1. Fund List: Comparison Across Strategy and Investment Targets

Funds can be filtered and compared across two axes: investment strategy (five categories including market-neutral and directional) and investment targets (crypto assets, tokenized stocks, tokenized government bonds, real estate STs, commodities), using metrics such as AUM, return rate, Sharpe ratio, and fee structure.

2. Fund Details: On-Chain Verification of Operations

Net asset value trends, positions, transaction history, and deposit/withdrawal history can be viewed on a single screen. Each transaction is linked to a transaction hash for on-chain verification.

3. Investment Scope Restriction

During fund creation, the asset class for investment can be specified. Smart contracts reject orders for assets outside the designated scope. The investment scope cannot be expanded after creation, technically enforcing the mandate.

4. Fee Structure Design

Fee models can be designed using templates (performance fee, 2&20, management fee, hurdle rate) or custom configurations. Once set, the fee model cannot be changed. Investor protection mechanisms, such as mandatory 5% ownership by the fund manager and participation limited to KYC-verified investors, are implemented at the code level.

5. Fund Manager Dashboard

Managers can centrally monitor AUM, accrued fees, and delegation status to AI agents (AutoFund).

Purpose of the Prototype

This prototype is an implementation experiment to evaluate the technical and UX feasibility of on-chain fund formation, transparency assurance, and automated fee calculation. No real fund acceptance or operations are currently conducted, and it does not involve contractual agreements with specific managers or investors.

Through the development of this prototype, the company has accumulated technical expertise in the following areas:

- Tokenization of fund shares (ERC-4626 compliant) and NAV calculation design

- Architecture for automating performance and management fee calculations and distributions via smart contracts

- Enforcement design to restrict investment asset classes at the contract level

- Frontend design for clearly disclosing operational status to non-experts

* The company has developed only the technical foundation (prototype). Legal feasibility (including treatment under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act) is being separately discussed with external experts. Actual service provision and commercialization will only proceed after confirming compliance with relevant laws and establishing the necessary infrastructure.

Seeking Collaboration Partners Among Funds and Financial Institutions

The goal of this initiative is to jointly explore the practical application of transparent on-chain asset management with funds and financial institutions, using the prototype’s technical foundation. The company welcomes collaboration with the following types of organizations:

Asset management firms, hedge funds, and independent managers: Joint exploration of on-chain performance disclosure and new product development

Banks, securities firms, and trust banks: Providing on-chain investment product infrastructure (white-label), organizing regulatory and compliance discussions

Crypto exchanges: Joint exploration of transparent investment functions for custodied assets

Law firms and regulatory consultants: Establishing legal frameworks for tokenized fund shares

Inquiries from financial industry professionals are especially welcome.
