Introduction
Tané is formed with a group of crypto-native product builders, based in Tokyo, Dubai and New York. We are backed by SoftBank, and Japanese tech giants like DeNA, GREE, MIXI, and have great relationship with Japanese crypto communities.
Our investment arm has invested in and supported various innovating projects that contribute to the decentralized society enabled by the new blockchain technology. Our network operation entity started directly contributing to the ecosystem by being node operators for the core infrastructures and protocols that make Web3 move forward and contributors to the DAOs that manage them. We have been active as delegates in Arbitrum, Optimism, Uniswap and more.

Motivation
We believe we can contribute to the Obol Collective in many and unique ways, help it to achieve its mission of decentralizing staking through Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), enhancing Ethereum’s security and resilience, fostering inclusive community-driven governance, and promoting sustainable, long-term growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.
Governance-focused node operator
We believe it is critical and inevitable for node operators to appropriately participate in the governance, not just on the protocol upgrades but also on the meta-governance and DAO operations. As a node operator using Obol, we are aiming to be the one that promote the movement and the leading operator with the technical capability as a node operator and governance capability as an active delegate.
Tech-savvy delegate
Our unique experience and expertises in the tech industries as product builders (entrepreneurs, software engineers, and product managers) should be able to contribute to critical feedback and comments on technical upgrades and issues to be discussed and implemented by collaborating with Obol contributors and external parties.
Japan representative
There are many users and traders using crypto products in Japan, but there are no prominent delegates who actively participate in and contribute to DAO governance from Japan yet. We are aiming to be the one who represents the Japanese users and token holders by being active in the governance, leveraging the partnership with Japanese enterprises and making meaningful impacts on the protocols and the ecosystem.
Values and Decision-Making Approach
We have established our Delegate Core Values as below and demonstrated our delegate activities and decision makings based on them.
Integrity
We value integrity a lot. We believe integrity is the most important virtue even in the industry that values trustless and permissionless. In fact, even though we should aim for governance minimization in the end, the protocols should still need governance and it requires capable and sincere participants. We should be the one of them.
Diversity
Diversity is one of the most important values to achieve decentralization. We are very unique in various perspectives including the geographical diversity (Japan and Asia). We also value diversities provided by other actors and are willing to appreciate them and collaborations with them.
Practicality
We believe in the progressive decentralization. While considering the decentralization is the ultimate goal for crypto/blockchain projects to achieve, we sometimes value practicality and approaches that get things done rather than getting stuck in pursuing the “decentralization” too much from the start.
Transparency
We believe transparency is the vital trait in the decentralized systems. We communicate our findings, feedback, opinions, disagreements and praises in a clear and constructive manner. We believe transparent communications should lead to better discussions and decisions to thrive.
Public Acceptance
We commit to being fully aligned with Delegate Rules of Engagement. We particularly appreciate the Obol’s stance on being aligned with Ethereum values and commitment to achieving them together.
Disclosures
Our investment arm, as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Obol Collective. We are also active in the other DAOs, Arbitrum, Optimism, Uniswap and more in the future.
We will update our voting activities and rationales behind them in this thread. Please reach out to us anytime when you have any opinions/comments/feedback.
Waiver of Liability
By delegating to Tané, you acknowledge and agree that Tané will participate on a best-efforts basis and will not be liable for any damages related to participation in the Obol Collective or its protocol / service.
