Amaterasu Omikami (OMIKAMI) is a decentralized cryptocurrency project that merges ancient mythology with modern decentralized finance (DeFi) principles. The project aims to build a community-driven ecosystem that fosters innovation, transparency, and accessibility in the blockchain space. It integrates AI-driven tools and plans to expand into gaming and NFTs, making it a diverse and evolving platform.
Amaterasu Omikami operates as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network but also utilizes its own Layer 1 blockchain, Omichain, for fast and low-cost transactions. The platform uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, ensuring energy efficiency and security.
The project incorporates smart contracts to automate transactions, manage decentralized applications (dApps), and enhance financial services. It also leverages AI-powered tools, such as the OmiAI Bot for insights and Kami Burn Bot/Apollo Buy Bot for market dynamics management.
OMIKAMI offers a variety of applications across DeFi, gaming, and NFTs, catering to different user needs.
Amaterasu Omikami was launched in September 2022 and was initially linked to Ryoshi, known for leaving the SHIB project. However, recent information points to a diverse founding team, including Hideo Tanaka, Yuki Nakamura, and Rina Sato.
