Jasmy - My Number - Development timeline

This is not old news about Jasmy and its possible future as a part of the Apple infrastructure. Instead it highlights a crucial point about how Jasmy sits at the service layer, not inside, the Japanese government’s My Number infrastructure:

My Number credential → JPKI/J-LIS verification → Cybertrust iTrust → Jasmy PDL → municipal or commercial service

Date	What is actually being introduced	How Jasmy plays, or could play, a role
My Number on iPhone; operating since 24 June 2025	People can place My Number credentials in Apple Wallet and use Face ID or Touch ID for JPKI authentication, MyNaPortal access, certificates and supported private services without repeatedly scanning the physical card. Cybertrust added iPhone My Number support to iTrust on 30 September 2025, including smartphone JPKI and verification of encrypted identity attributes. Digital Agency · Cybertrust	Strong indirect connection. Jasmy PDL already uses Cybertrust’s iTrust service. Therefore, Cybertrust now possesses the technical components needed for a PDL service to verify an iPhone user using smartphone JPKI. This could make PDL registration quicker and remove the need to scan the physical card. However, neither Jasmy nor Cybertrust has publicly confirmed that this particular iPhone function has been activated inside PDL.
Combined Myna App; scheduled for 25 August 2026	The government is combining the MyNaPortal App and Digital Authentication App. It will provide one government application for logging in, identity authentication and electronically signing transactions across government and participating private services. Digital Agency	Technically well positioned but not confirmed. Cybertrust already provides an iTrust SDK that connects commercial services with the government’s Digital Authentication App, including authentication, electronic signatures and retrieval of the four basic identity fields. Because Jasmy PDL is connected to iTrust, Jasmy could use this pathway to let people open or access a verified PDL through the Myna App. No announcement presently confirms that PDL will be an official launch service on 25 August. Cybertrust
Fuller My Number functionality on Android; around September–November 2026	Android has supported smartphone JPKI electronic certificates since May 2023. The autumn 2026 upgrade is intended to add the card’s identity information: name, address, date of birth, sex, My Number and facial image. This brings Android closer to the fuller identity-document functionality already available on iPhone. Digital Agency	Potentially important for PDL adoption. Cybertrust’s iTrust already supports Android smartphone JPKI, including browser-initiated verification. Consequently, Android users can potentially obtain a government-verified identity for their PDL without repeatedly scanning a physical card. The 2026 expansion could also support stronger identity and age/attribute verification. Jasmy has not yet announced specific support for the new Android identity-record format. Cybertrust
JPKI becomes the standard remote identity method; principal change on 1 April 2027	For transactions covered by Japan’s anti-money-laundering rules, non-face-to-face verification is scheduled to move, in principle, to JPKI. Face-to-face checks will generally require reading an IC chip rather than simply looking at a card. A related rule for online mobile-phone contracts already commenced on 1 April 2026, while further face-to-face changes begin on 1 April 2027. Government digital plan	This is the development with the clearest commercial potential for Jasmy. PDL can combine a JPKI-verified person with user-controlled data, certificates, transaction records, regional currency or high-value digital-money services. Jasmy’s own government-featured material specifically identifies digital money, premium vouchers, municipal services, healthcare data and high-value coins as possible uses. However, Cybertrust—not Jasmy—is the certified JPKI platform provider. Jasmy is one potential service platform among many; it will not process every Japanese JPKI verification.
Next-generation physical My Number Card; FY2029	The government is targeting introduction between 1 April 2029 and 31 March 2030. The card is expected to use stronger cryptography and improved technology, requiring updates across numerous government, municipal and private systems. No precise launch day has been set. Existing cards and JPKI services remain operational. Government digital plan	Compatibility role only; unless a new contract is announced. Cybertrust will probably carry much of the certificate-validation and cryptographic upgrade work, while Jasmy will need to test and update PDL’s integration. There is currently no evidence that Jasmy has been selected to design, manufacture or operate the replacement card. The delay does not prevent Jasmy from expanding PDL using the existing cards and JPKI infrastructure.

The confirmed Jasmy position

The confirmed relationship is:

• Cybertrust’s iTrust verifies the user through My Number/JPKI.

• Jasmy’s PDL creates and manages the user's data .

• The verified PDL can then support services and high-value transactions.

The Digital Agency has officially presented Jasmy PDL as a My Number/JPKI implementation example. It says that JPKI authentication expanded PDL’s potential from services not requiring identity verification into sensitive-information, municipal and high-value financial applications. Digital Agency’s Jasmy case study

What is still not confirmed:

None of the evidence currently establishes that:

Therefore, these developments are genuinely positive for Jasmy’s potential customer base and PDL utility, but their effect on the JASMY token remains dependent on Jasmy connecting PDL usage to JasmyChain and establishing a mandatory, measurable role for the token. Nevertheless, it is exciting that the Digital Agency has officially presented Jasmy PDL as a My Number/JPKI implementation example.
