Institutional enquiry desk
Ethereum for enterprises:
ending the “who do we even ask?” problem.
Practitioners at institutional investors and listed companies in Japan keep telling us there is no official place to ask questions about Ethereum. Enquiries sent to this desk are answered by the Fracton research team — from regulation, accounting and custody through to PoC design, with a first response written from the enterprise point of view.

Before you send
- Answers from this desk are information only. They are not investment, legal or tax advice — please confirm final decisions with a specialist in the relevant field.
- Please do not put confidential or unpublished material information in this form. If an NDA is needed, it can be signed between you and Fracton, governed by Japanese law (we will raise this at the call stage).

- While this prototype is running, submissions are stored only in this site’s own database and are not sent to any external service.
