What Omakase does

Omakase Co., Ltd. is a Japanese enterprise blockchain validator operations company established in January 2024 as a technology subsidiary of Kudasai Co., Ltd. (KudasaiJP), one of Japan's largest Web3 communities. The company operates validator infrastructure across more than 40 blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Babylon, EigenLayer, and Japan Open Chain, with claimed 99.9%+ uptime and SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 certified infrastructure managed exclusively by Japan-based full-time senior engineers. As of December 2024, delegated assets under management exceeded JPY 30 billion (~$200M+), and the company operates as one of three global EigenLayer operators for KelpDAO managing JPY 160 billion+ in TVL.

The company's product portfolio comprises four integrated service modules: Staking & Validator operations for enterprises holding crypto assets, White-Label & Managed Infrastructure for exchanges, wallets, and financial service operators embedding staking into their platforms, Transaction Reconciliation Support using full-node-based extraction (BTC, ETH, XRP, XLM, KAIA, and others) for audit and accounting purposes, and Digital Asset Strategy & Market Analysis Advisory combining on-chain and off-chain analysis. Pricing is quote-driven under multi-year enterprise contracts; there is no self-serve or freemium offering, and the go-to-market is consultative direct sales routed through individual consultations, Japanese-language content marketing, and partnership referrals.

Omakase's customer base is concentrated among Japanese enterprises and financial institutions, with named engagements including Sumitomo Corporation (Avalanche validator), Remixpoint (validator launch), BITPOINT/SBI Group (Bitcoin staking via Babylon), BitGo Trust Company (first Japan validator partner), Solv Protocol (Bitcoin LST operator), and Pairpoint (Vodafone/Sumitomo JV for Economy of Things infrastructure). The company received capital investment from Nomura Holdings in May 2024, and CEO Eisuke Watanabe chairs the JCBA Staking Subcommittee, positioning Omakase at the intersection of Japanese staking operations and regulatory policy development. Revenue is generated through recurring managed services fees for validator operations and white-label infrastructure, supplemented by professional services fees for advisory and reconciliation engagements.

Comparable in serving institutional clients with managed validator infrastructure, but at significantly larger scale and broader product breadth.

Direct comparable in multi-chain validator operations, institutional reporting, and SOC 2-certified infrastructure, but with much larger global scale and broader geographic coverage.
