Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll use this forum to tell you about our project, our thoughts, and our people. We’re looking forward to building our community together so that we can overcome the significant challenges facing our industry.

I’ve spent the better part of the past four years committed to researching and developing solutions to mainstream industry problems and blockchain technical problems. With this background, and with the incredible team we’ve assembled at Nuco, our decision to build Aion came from lessons learned and obstacles encountered. We’ve witnessed an increasingly fragmented industry with various different solutions — none of them seeming to address our core concerns of scalability, performance, and interoperability.

Aion is our vision of a connected future where shared public infrastructure and enterprise infrastructure are seamlessly integrated and indistinguishable to the end user, all while preserving requirements of absolute security and privacy. This foundational technology will allow us to redesign industries and societies, while reinforcing the roles of value-added contributors and challenging the roles of outdated intermediaries. The time for this transition is now.

Having our roots in Toronto, we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to share origins with some of the great blockchain pioneers we all know and respect. We are constantly inspired by the people around us in this community and we’ll continue to make our contributions as we all work to shape the future.

We can’t do this alone. As we move the Aion vision forward, we need you to get involved and share your ideas. There are multiple ways for you to support our mission and we’d love to hear from you so that we can make you a part of the team.

Talk to you soon.
