Research
Strong R&D focus across cryptography, agentic systems, gaming state transition, DeFi, and production infrastructure — more than two decades from lab75.jp through zero.io.
Projects
- Vayl OS
Research paper · Prototypes
Operating system research — exploratory work on runtime architecture and agent-native environments.
Published research paper and working prototypes investigating OS primitives for privacy, agency, and composable systems.
Modules
Research fields aligned with network extension primitives.
- Zero knowledge & privacy
Cryptographic proofs, selective disclosure, and privacy-preserving state for multiplayer and financial systems.
- Agentic systems & world models
Autonomous agents, machine-readable products, and simulated environments that bridge human intent and on-chain state.
- Gaming & performant state
Performant state transition for multiplayer — sharding, fog-of-war proofs, and decentralized game economies.
- DeFi & tokenomics
Treasury design, governance tokens, crowdloans, and sustainable incentive models for creator economies.
- Regulatory & compliance infrastructure
Systems built for auditability, jurisdictional constraint, and production-grade financial infrastructure.
- Hardware, software & product design
Full-stack delivery from embedded systems and physical computing to interfaces and product architecture.

Each research module connects to a deployed primitive on the ZERO network.
Zero knowledge & privacy
Trusted Execution
Secure environments that ensure the integrity and security of game assets and interactions — verifying authenticity, preventing fraud, and protecting player information.
Agentic systems & world models
Autonomous Agents
Autonomous entities that can make decisions and take actions on their own within a game environment. These agents can be programmed to learn from player interactions, adapting to the player's preferences over time.
Gaming & performant state
Generative Assets
AI-powered tools that create unique and dynamic assets and environments within a game. These tools can generate random elements such as terrain, vegetation, or even characters.
DeFi & tokenomics
Signal / Control
Protocols that allow players to participate in governance decisions within the blockchain — creating rules, regulations, and governing the game ecosystem through DAOs.
Regulatory & compliance infrastructure
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts regulate game assets and interactions within the blockchain — automating item trading, player reputation management, and on-chain gameplay logic.
Hardware, software & product design
Identity / Sense
Systems that manage and maintain players' identities within the blockchain — tracking achievements, unlocking rewards, and creating virtual currencies and incentives.
