In 2019, our founders recognized a critical moment in technological evolution: blockchain had matured from a concept into the next foundation for human trust. Just as clay tablets recorded ancient trades, paper institutions scaled commerce, and the internet connected information, blockchain now promised to connect value, identity, and ownership openly and globally. Startale emerged from this insight - that bringing the world onchain would require more than just technology, but a new kind of company capable of building infrastructure at the scale of civilizations. What started as a small team of builders has grown into a global organization developing Soneium (an Ethereum Layer 2 in partnership with Sony), Astar Network, and Startale App - an ecosystem designed to make Web3 accessible to billions. The journey has been marked by strategic partnerships with industry giants like Sony, Samsung, and SBI Holdings, reflecting our conviction that the next generation of the internet must be built collaboratively. From launching Japan's first public blockchain to co-developing Soneium's mainnet and creating compliant stablecoin infrastructure, every milestone advances our mission to build trust without boundaries. We are more than engineers and executives - we are architects of the onchain future, working to ensure that as the world transitions to this new paradigm, no one is left behind. The next civilization won't be built by one company alone, but Startale is proud to lay its foundation.

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Today, the platform boasts 9 million+ active listings worldwide across 220+ countries and regions, with hosts having earned over $300 billion all-time. The typical US host earned $15,000 in 2024, demonstrating the significant economic impact Airbnb creates for everyday people. Every day, hosts offer unique stays, experiences, and services that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. Beyond travel, Airbnb has expanded its mission through initiatives like Airbnb.org, a nonprofit that has provided free emergency housing to over 250,000 people in times of crisis, and partnerships with organizations like the International Olympic Committee. The company has remitted over $17 billion in taxes globally and operates in 150,000+ cities and towns. From introducing innovations like Experiences and Online Experiences to launching sustainability initiatives and anti-discrimination programs like Project Lighthouse, Airbnb continues to redefine how people travel and belong anywhere.
