Tokyo — September 1, 2025 — Asteria Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & Representative Director: Yoichiro Hirano; Securities Code: 3853) and Lib Work Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture; President & Representative Director: Chikara Seguchi; Securities Code: 1431) announce a business partnership to develop NFT infrastructure and begin construction of a Housing Asset Digital Platform to prevent tampering with 3D-Printed house design data and other information.
Additionally, by adopting Asteria’s “Asteria Warp” platform, Lib Work plans to accept payments with JPYC, a Japanese yen-backed stablecoin, for their 3D-Printed houses and other construction projects.
PARTNERSHIP BACKGROUND
The global 3D-Printed housing market is rapidly expanding because of its ability to reduce the use of costly building materials and address labor shortages in the construction industry. According to Lib Work’s research, the market is expected to grow to approximately ¥221 trillion by 2034—roughly 100 times its current size. However, 3D-Printed housing design data faces the following digital-specific challenges:
Challenges with Design Documents and Data for 3D-Printed Housing
(Digital-Specific Risks)
•High risk of unauthorized copying and tampering, requiring advanced management to ensure legitimacy and authenticity
•Repair histories directly impact asset valuations during sales and investments, yet they are not properly recorded and shared
To address these challenges, Lib Work began exploring a digital platform that records, certifies, and distributes design documents, construction data, and repair histories as NFTs. They have also partnered with Asteria, a company that possesses blockchain technology for tamper-proof certification used in shareholder meetings and municipal documents, to begin building a Housing Asset Digital Platform.
By combining Asteria’s Web3 and NFT technology and expertise with Lib Work’s 3D-Printed housing development know-how, they aim to build the world’s first* platform that ensures housing asset reliability from both architectural and digital perspectives.

ABOUT THE HOUSING ASSET DIGITAL PLATFORM
The Housing Asset Digital Platform aims to ensure the authenticity and reliability of housing assets and maintain and enhance their long-term value by recording and certifying 3D-Printed housing design, construction, and repair data as NFTs on the blockchain.
NFTs utilize blockchain technology to guarantee the uniqueness and tamper-proof nature of digital data. Applying this to housing provides the following new ownership benefits and added values:
1.Prevention of unauthorized copying of design documents (tampering is prevented by storing design document data on the blockchain)
2.Proof of authenticity (issuing digital certificates via NFT)
3.Keeping track of repair histories (transparent housing lifecycle management)
4.Asset value creation through serial numbering
5.Creating new value circulation for housing assets by centrally managing and distributing previously fragmented housing data
6.Metaverse expansion (utilizing design and construction data in digital spaces)
Lib Work also plans to accept payments using JPYC, a Japanese yen-backed stablecoin, by leveraging blockchain infrastructure and Asteria Warp.
FUTURE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Asteria and Lib Work aim to expand the use of NFTs to general housing and create new value circulation for housing assets through the development of the Housing Asset Digital Platform.
Lib Work will also franchise and license its 3D-Printed home technologies, establishing a new model of scale in the housing industry. As a group, they are targeting a total of 10,000 3D-Printed houses by 2040, with this project serving as crucial infrastructure development toward achieving that goal.
Furthermore, Lib Work plans to expand its housing assets globally in the future by accepting USDT and USDC, two USD-backed stablecoins, to allow for international transactions.
