# 🌅 Vision

### Unlocking the Next Dimension of DeFi with JPY

Until now, most DeFi strategies have been designed **in USD terms**.\
As the world’s reserve currency, the U.S. dollar has naturally dominated DeFi markets. However, this left investors from Japan and other non-USD regions exposed to **constant foreign exchange risk** whenever they participated in DeFi.

**JPYCompound** challenges this structure.\
By building lending and yield strategies centered around the Japanese yen, we unlock an entirely new dimension of DeFi — one that does not rely solely on USD, but instead empowers users with JPY-based opportunities.

***

### Why JPY Lending Matters

1. **Hedging Against FX Risk**\
   Japanese investors using USD-denominated DeFi must always bear currency fluctuations. By establishing a lending market denominated in JPY, investors can access DeFi yields directly — without the need for FX hedging.
2. **Unlocking Idle Japanese Capital**\
   Japan holds one of the world’s largest pools of household financial assets (over 2,000 trillion yen), yet much of it remains in low-yield bank deposits and bonds. JPYCompound brings this dormant capital on-chain, enabling efficient lending and yield generation.
3. **Diversification & Stability for Global DeFi**\
   Today’s DeFi ecosystem is still overwhelmingly USD-centric. Introducing significant non-USD liquidity — starting with JPY — will diversify risks, enhance resilience, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the global DeFi ecosystem.

***

### Our Mission

JPYCompound aims to:

* **Create a sustainable lending market based on the Japanese yen**
* **Offer innovative yield strategies for both domestic and global investors**
* **Drive the multi-currency evolution of DeFi beyond USD dominance**

From a USD-centric era to a **multi-currency DeFi era** — with the Japanese yen at the forefront.\
JPYCompound is building that future today.
