Saitama Inu, commonly referred to as SAITAMA, started as a community-driven token and platform. It was initially designed to develop solutions aimed at educating the next generation of investors, particularly focusing on making cryptocurrency safe and simple for everyone. SAITAMA focused on Gen Z investors, a demographic known to often feel frustrated or confused about finance. The vision of Saitama was to provide educational content about money and investing, thereby fostering opportunities for wealth creation. SAITAMA was an Ethereum-based token, ensuring that its transactions were recorded on the Ethereum blockchain ledger.

SAITAMA's utility included a variety of functions within its platform. It was a deflationary token with a capped total supply, designed to systematically reduce its overall supply through token burns. For every transaction on the network, a four percent fee was charged, half of which was burned and the other half redistributed among SAITAMA holders. The token aimed to make financial well-being accessible, using its token's gains and educational initiatives to inform investors about virtual currencies. The platform's ecosystem included a smart wallet (SaitaMask), a marketplace (SaitaMarket), an NFT-based launchpad platform (SaitaMaker), and a multi-channel content platform for financial education (Saitama Edutainment).
