BLOCKSMITH&Co. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tetsuya Sanada, hereinafter "BLOCKSMITH") is pleased to announce that its cryptocurrency "BLQS," currently being promoted by BLOCKSMITH, has been selected for adoption by the "Okami Wallet," a Web3 wallet capable of managing multiple cryptocurrencies.
The "Okami Wallet" is a Web3 wallet provided by the Okami Project (Representative: Kousei Mochizuki), which also offers the "Okami Card" that enables cryptocurrency payments.
Already used by over 10,000 users worldwide, the Okami Wallet’s adoption of BLQS is expected to significantly enhance the token’s recognition and expand its usability.
About BLQS
BLQS is a cryptocurrency (token) launched by BLOCKSMITH.
It has already been adopted in the user-generated rewards quiz app "QAQA," and is planned to be exchangeable for Japanese yen, Bitcoin, and other assets on cryptocurrency exchanges in the future.
Additionally, BLQS is scheduled to be used as a payment method for advertisements placed within the "QAQA" app.
Through this mechanism, advertisers will pay advertising fees in BLQS, which will then be distributed to users who answer quizzes, aiming to build a sustainable, circular economic ecosystem.
About Okami Wallet
The Okami Wallet is a Web3 wallet issued by the Okami Project.
The project offers a one-stop platform for cryptocurrency asset management, covering both accumulation (saving) and spending (payment), while also supporting social contribution initiatives.

It also supports cash withdrawals at ATMs and cashless payments without requiring a physical card.
