USA VS Globalization Planning

U.S.-Anchored Expansion

CHIC isn’t building a “killer app”—we’re shaping a future in the United States where everyone loves digital assets. As one of the world’s most innovative and influential markets, the US is our launchpad for redefining how digital assets and autonomous worlds evolve. As a deep-tech company, we believe technology-first innovation will drive the next wave of interactive systems in the Game 2.0 era.

Our go-to-market strategy is US-centric. We’ve conducted extensive research to localize digital asset experiences around US consumer behavior, tech culture, and compliance expectations. CHIC treats legal clarity and regulatory integrity as foundational. We do not collaborate with any entity—projects, influencers, or companies—operating in legal grey zones. All partnerships undergo strict compliance screening.

Once funded, CHIC will establish a US-based holding entity to ensure full alignment with American legal, tax, and investment frameworks. All core IP, governance, and decision-making will be centralized in the US. We will also consolidate our documentation, workflows, and external communications in English to support long-term scalability and global trust.

We plan to actively recruit U.S. talent across AI, blockchain, and strategic operations. Our leadership will be anchored in the US, and hiring will prioritize domestic candidates to reinforce cultural alignment and regulatory stability. In parallel, we will organize AI × Web3 hackathons and civic engagement events in major US cities to contribute to public innovation and digital awareness.

CHIC is also committed to energy-efficient development practices. We recognize the responsibility of virtual economies toward real-world sustainability and will integrate carbon-conscious standards across our architecture.

As a deep-tech firm, we continuously push the boundaries of AI × blockchain interaction. Our focus is composable digital assets empowered by intelligent systems. Bold experimentation, compliance-first operations, and US-anchored innovation define CHIC’s operational philosophy.

Globalization: Excluding the EU

Given that Web3 is a global business, CHIC’s future operational plans include regions outside USA. However, due to the high political instability surrounding cryptocurrencies and digital assets across various jurisdictions at this stage, CHIC prioritizes PwS’s recommendation in the “2024 Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Report” to “choose a stable home.”

CHIC’s globalization strategy mainly considers factors such as the soundness of regulatory frameworks for digital assets and cryptocurrencies, the reasonableness of tax systems, and the vitality of gaming markets and player bases in different regions. Ultimately, apart from Japan, we have chosen one market in Asia: South Korea. However, due to the lagging crypto financial regulations in other Asian and Southeast Asian countries, CHIC does not plan to operate in any Asian countries other than Japan and South Korea.

CHIC’s global operations will continue to prioritize compliance. Since localization in Japan (especially in terms of NFT language) poses a significant obstacle to CHIC’s future international expansion, we will explore the feasibility of AI-NFT for language translation. Dove AI will also offer Voice-to-Voice services to break language barriers.

We place great importance on the international market’s role in the early stages of a startup. However, due to the fact that most countries’ legal frameworks are still in development and global cryptocurrency regulations remain unstable, CHIC will not respond to any speculative inquiries regarding potential operational points in specific countries. Maintaining flexibility in Web3 globalization is part of our strategic approach.

Shaping it with Us the Future of Digital Assets—From USA to the Global.

Business Positioning - Autonomous World (Digital Assets)

In 2025, the Autonomous World underwent significant transformations, with mainstream narratives shifting towards the Agent World. Most autonomous worlds have evolved into B2B Agent SaaS businesses. However, CHIC remains committed to its original vision, positioning itself within “consumer applications of digital assets.” We believe in NFTs as the frontend of the world computer. In the wake of GameFi’s failure, Autonomous Worlds will be the key to breaking the stagnation of crypto gaming, as Tokenomics should not be the foundation of a game’s business model.

CHIC’s Unique Value Proposition (UVP) is more abstract than most Autonomous Worlds—it is “client-agnostic.” However, this very characteristic gives CHIC broader commercial scalability across multiple chains, devices, decentralized ecosystems, and industries. In the future, Intelligent Assets will replace traditional applications, forming the foundation of a “no-app, on-chain Second Life,” particularly within smart glasses and extended reality (XR) ecosystems.

At first glance, CHIC’s revenue model may seem to rely on the sale of digital assets. Given CHIC’s mission to productize NFTs, these assets are likely to be categorized as “digital assets” under regulatory frameworks. While we acknowledge that selling NFTs is one revenue stream, CHIC’s Intelligent Assets go beyond traditional NFTs, offering brands superior services and unique functionalities within the Autonomous World.

For example, just as The Sandbox offers land, CHIC not only enables the placement of “NFT spatial objects” but also leverages NFT composability to bring commercial slogans to life within the Autonomous World.

These slogans are no longer static text but can trigger smart contracts, unlock exclusive branded content, and even interact with Dove AI, creating an entirely new NFT experience. Imagine these are not just keywords but functional, cross-chain digital assets that serve both as interactive tools and promotional elements within an autonomous ecosystem—potentially even generating AI-driven Easter eggs through Dove AI.

This is not merely about “click-through rates”; it will drive higher “conversion rates,” surpassing traditional advertising models.

DLC subscriptions for Second Life, AI premium features, and CNaaS (Composable NFT as a Service) are all part of CHIC’s long-term asset monetization strategies. We hold high expectations for the future.

Bringing CNaaS (Composable-NFT-as-a-Service) into autonomous world.

This is the evolution of service-oriented gaming, where the offerings from operators are no longer "new content" but rather "new frameworks," similar to new DLCs, due to the development of infinite games and autonomous agents. People can think of what operators are developing as not content innovation anymore, but rather innovation in virtual assets or AI in the autonomous world. Players can then engage in a world of augmented frameworks, where they can play, create, and build their virtual lives as one of its attributes.

This is the post-digital era!

The "words" of businesses can establish a foothold in the autonomous world and benefit from unique promotional and entertainment opportunities in future DLCs. It's precisely because of the nature of words that this expansion pack is possible; if it were based on images, it might not work. Just think about how many slogans a company has!

If you've seen the functionalities of the intelligent layer and CHIC's ID, along with Dove AI's innovations in generative AI, you can appreciate: it's more than just advertising.

With more DLCs, the game's revenue model will become more diverse, not just limited to NFT sales, for example, synthesis.

Regardless of how NFT projects promote themselves, it is clear that they cannot escape the Web3 community. Expanding the user base in Web3 is currently not feasible since the infrastructure, wallets, dApps, exchanges, and even cryptocurrencies are not widely adopted yet. So, we lean towards stabilizing Web3 through international project collaboration instead of figuring out how to attract Web2 users... We can't even reach the customer base of metaverse games built on XR/VR...

Regarding operations in various countries under different regulations, past approaches are no longer applicable. Even DAO corporatization, we believe that Web3 will develop its own set of operational models in the future. The community operation of the project has been written extensively within the community governance ecosystem. We believe that proper power decentralization will be the most critical operational model to gain support and assistance from Web3 users, rather than using commercial gimmicks as in the past.

Returning to the original intention, community comes first.

Autonomous Worlds = Replacing Apps with Modular Systems

Why is Client-Agnostic So Important? TL;DR: Your eyes can’t control apps in smart glasses.

If intelligent assets fully leverage this technology, a client-agnostic autonomous world will bring CHIC a more immersive and seamless integration between the on-chain world and reality. AI + Web3 enables “app-less” interactions.

Today’s apps rely on touchscreens and layered UI (tap → enter page → interact), which is unintuitive for smart glasses.

• AI will become the primary interface layer, replacing traditional manual app operations.

• NFTs, through modularization, can carry “functions” or unlock “personalized experiences,” allowing users to interact with smart glasses without apps. Instead, blockchain directly binds identity and permissions to access content or services.

  • For example, owning a specific NFT could automatically display a 3D object in AR glasses instead of requiring an app download.

User habits will shift from “opening apps” to “natural interactions,” making NFTs a viable application in the real world. As smart glasses technology evolves, “apps gradually transforming into AI-driven Web3 services” will be an inevitable transition. This will also expand the immersive and interactive potential of NFTs in the future.

It will be exciting when users can leverage the tech giants’ advanced eye-tracking technology to enable new commercial interactions in the “spatial computing autonomous world.” With the Meta Quest series already having 30 million users globally, and now with the powerful launch of AR glasses “Orion,” the team is more convinced than ever of the direct future of wearable eye devices and AI!

Client-Agnostic will be CHIC's biggest innovation asset and advantage

Contract Secured Revenue (CSR) ➤ CHIC Store

Creation: The "creation" mentioned here is more focused on "applications." AICG's creation is not included in this category. What is meant by creation is the "utilization of Dove AI to create commercial applications or the use of AI to create smart contracts" and co-creation with the development team. It is a more in-depth, professional "ecosystem extension." Players can use AI to create fun commercial applications. In other words, players can personally extend the story content and characters for Oracle players through development. Such ecosystem extension allows professional ecosystem extenders and projects to create a win-win situation. Projects can charge a portion of fees in the CSR mode and receive "ecosystem tokens" from the governance committee, so that developers can not only make a profit but also receive project rewards. And the project will not be overdrawn due to excessive spending, and the most important thing is that the review is still 2.5. Due to the reduced difficulty of developing applications with AI, the team or community will use voting to evaluate developers and determine which applications meet the criteria, and not all applications will receive rewards. Please pay attention to this point.

In autonomous world games, typically, builders (users) are required to develop plugins. But in CHIC, it's not about plugins but "applications." All autonomous worlds face the same challenge: builders lack the motivation to develop plugins.

Users may also form teams due to creation and eventually become an alternative "guild," establishing a cooperative relationship with the CHIC development team. This transformation from players to developers and then into collaborators is a very beautiful conversion.

In terms of financial security, we believe that this is of utmost importance to everyone

The team employs a multi-signature wallet: the Safe Multisig, to manage the project's token funds. The founders have a profound understanding of the heightened attention on the team's fund utilization throughout 2025.

As a result, in addition to employing CoinTrack to handle taxation related to relevant cryptocurrencies, the CHIC project also secures tokens through a multi-signature wallet.

But please note that this doesn’t imply that the development team "cannot withdraw tokens." Due to CHIC having an extremely experienced and streamlined team, the team's token allocation is substantial, which is rightfully deserved. Of course, the team's tokens are subject to a lock-up period, and the dates and quantities will be disclosed in Tokenomics later.

The founders of CHIC place a higher emphasis on financial security than anyone else, so investors and holders can rest assured that there will be no unauthorized use of tokens in this project.
