# Why Nichome?
**Nichome** is a lively district in Tokyo, 🇯🇵 —a spot that holds a special place in our ❤️. Fun fact: it's also where our dev team first met with the official **Neo** team, making it a super meaningful place for us.
When we learned that the earliest public chain on this planet, Neo, was going to launch an EVM side chain, you know, it wasn’t a difficult decision for us. Becoming a part of it was just what we were meant to do.
Since entering this industry, the **Nichome** team has been continuously building the **Neo** ecosystem. So when **Neo X** was officially launched, we decided that **Nichome** must be the bridge connecting **Neo X** to the Web3 world.
