A New Approach to Device Ownership
Jasmy has officially confirmed the deployment of its Layer-2 blockchain mainnet as open-source infrastructure. This move represents a significant step toward decentralizing data and device ownership. The network centers around Jasmy’s proprietary decentralized identity technology called PDL, which stands for Proof of Device and Linkage.
According to Hiroshi Harada, CEO of Jasmy Labs, this launch demonstrates the company’s commitment to transforming verified user devices into recognized digital assets. Things like GPUs and personal computers can now potentially generate revenue for their owners. Harada explained that PDL serves as the foundation—it’s essentially a decentralized identity system that verifies data, devices, and assets belonging to individuals.
I think what’s interesting here is how they’re approaching this. Rather than just creating another blockchain, they’re building infrastructure that connects physical devices to digital value. It’s not just about transactions, but about validating actual hardware ownership and making those devices economically active.
How the Technology Functions
The core of Jasmy’s Layer-2 chain is this PDL framework. It validates device ownership and identity, turning physical assets into blockchain-recognized entities that can generate income. The system ensures that each connected device—whether it’s a GPU, PC, or smartphone—is properly verified as belonging to a legitimate user.
Once authenticated, these devices can participate in distributed computing or decentralized applications that rely on verified processing power. The Layer-2 chain is built on Ethereum, with JASMY serving as its custom gas token. Users who interact with the network will need JASMY to process transactions, whether they’re withdrawing resources or deploying applications.
Harada emphasized that the network will function as compliance-ready, open-source infrastructure. This invites developers to build decentralized applications while maintaining transparent and verifiable device ownership. It’s worth noting that they’re positioning this as something that can work within regulatory frameworks, which is often a challenge for blockchain projects.
The JANCTION Partnership
Jasmy’s collaboration with JANCTION represents the first large-scale implementation of this model. JANCTION operates as a GPU-backed asset and AI resource-sharing platform. It enables devices to contribute computing power to a decentralized pool that supports AI and other computational tasks.
In Jasmy’s own statement, they described JANCTION as one of their most important partners. By enabling GPUs, PCs, and other device resources to function as authenticated, revenue-generating assets, JANCTION brings practical use cases to life on top of the Jasmy infrastructure.
This partnership ties directly into Jasmy’s long-term plan of creating a digital economy where individuals control, verify, and profit from their own data and devices. JANCTION operates as a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network focused on AI and computing applications. Its goal is to make GPU and CPU resources accessible to small and medium enterprises that need computing power for developing AI products—without relying on centralized data centers.
Built on an EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain, JANCTION allows AI tasks such as model training or data processing to be distributed among participants. Each participant contributes computing power from their devices in exchange for rewards in the network’s native token, JCT.
Token Economics and Additional Services
JANCTION recently introduced its JCT token, which plays a central role in powering the ecosystem. The total supply is 50 billion JCT, with an initial circulating supply of approximately 11.5 billion tokens at the token generation event. The project’s Phase 1 airdrop allocates 2.85 billion tokens to participants who contributed to early development or ecosystem activities.
What’s particularly interesting is that JCT holders receive periodic airdrops of Jasmy’s JASMY token, purchased directly from the market. This creates a feedback loop that potentially strengthens both ecosystems. The longer a user holds JCT, the more JASMY they may accumulate over time.
Beyond its AI and GPU-sharing focus, JANCTION has also launched JANCTION LINK, a browser-based tool that consolidates multiple social media and web links into a single page. The service assigns points based on video viewing duration, helping creators measure engagement and direct followers to key content. Users can integrate YouTube, X, Instagram, and e-commerce links into one customizable landing page without installing additional apps.
According to Harada, the purpose of JANCTION LINK is to create a continuous cycle of engagement where someone’s work gives birth to someone else’s next creation. This service complements Jasmy’s infrastructure by offering a practical application layer where verified data and content engagement can be recorded and analyzed within the broader DID framework.
Future Development Plans
Jasmy confirmed that five minimum viable products are already operational on its infrastructure, with JANCTION being the most visible example. The company plans to deploy more decentralized applications in the coming months, signaling a more application-driven phase for its ecosystem.
Future developments under consideration include DeFi integrations, stablecoin payment systems, and ETF-linked blockchain products—each leveraging the authenticated device framework introduced by PDL. Harada stated that Jasmy aims to be the Bitcoin of its ecosystem, while JANCTION aims to be the GPU-backed asset platform.
This deployment of open-source Layer-2 mainnet built on DID technology marks a technical milestone for Jasmy. By linking verified device ownership with economic activity, it transforms computing hardware into an asset class capable of generating verifiable value. Through JANCTION, this infrastructure extends into the AI and decentralized computing space, providing tangible applications for both users and enterprises.
Perhaps what’s most compelling is how they’re demonstrating that authenticated devices, transparent data use, and decentralized compute networks can coexist under a unified blockchain framework. It’s still early days, but the approach seems thoughtful and grounded in practical applications rather than just theoretical possibilities.
