THXLAB, which provides the Web3 as a Service (Web3aaS) platform "THXNET.", has built a dedicated Layer1 chain called "AVATECT Chain" using THXNET. as the foundational technology for implementing blockchain functionality in "AVATECT®," the digital identity management platform promoted by TOPPAN Digital, a group company of TOPPAN Holdings.

Background and Purpose

THXLAB has provided THXNET., including a dedicated Layer1 chain, to AVATECT®, which is developed by TOPPAN Digital to ensure the authenticity of avatars and digital content. This creates an environment where technical verification of content protection technology, provenance information attribution, SBT (Soulbound Token) issuance and verification can be conducted more efficiently and freely.

Key Points of THXNET. Web3aaS Adoption

Dedicated L1, All-in-One Platform: Independent dedicated Layer1 chain for each company. One-stop provision of Open API suite that can be used immediately without learning, along with diverse on-chain and off-chain technologies.
Rapid and excellent user experience: Service development that realizes swift deployment and superior user experience is possible.
Fast Implementation & Zero Gas: AVATECT Chain can be launched in one day, creating an operational environment unaffected by external congestion or gas price fluctuations.
AVATECT Chain × ID Wallet: Integration with SBT functionality, preserving "trust evidence" linked to users/content/agents on-chain.
Hybrid Operations via Bifrost: Interoperable with public blockchains as needed. Enables phased introduction and flexible response to future legislation.

Comment from Aro Kondo, Representative Director & CEO of THXLAB: "We are pleased that AVATECT®, which has conducted various proof-of-concept experiments, will utilize THXNET. as the foundation for AVATECT Chain. We look forward to accelerating social implementation utilizing blockchain that spans trust, provenance, and evaluation through AVATECT®. Furthermore, we will strongly support social implementation in the DID/VC and AI agent domains through the provision of THXNET.'s new APIs (ERC-7734/8004)."

Overview of New API Set

ERC-7734 (DID Verification): Records verification results of identity and attributes on-chain as cryptographic evidence without exposing personal information.
ERC-8004 (Trustless Agent): Standardizes agent identity/reputation/validation. Combines operator stakes, third-party verification, and user evaluations to form an economic sphere of trustworthy AI agents.
