SAN FRANCISCO, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- AIKON is thrilled to welcome Karan Sachan as AIKON's Head of Product! In the midst of rapid product growth, Karan will oversee product strategy and champion the continued innovation of AIKON's Web3 authentication platform, ORE ID, and B2B crypto wallet, ORE Vault.
Deepening AIKON's Leadership Bench with Powerhouse Blockchain Executives
With over 8 years of product development, leadership and consulting experience in blockchain, cryptocurrency and fintech, Karan joins AIKON following a four-year tenure at Nasdaq where he led as Director of Product Management. While at Nasdaq, Karan conceptualized and launched a Distributed Ledger Technology-based governance product to enable end-to-end integrity, trust and transparency across business flows. He also led Nasdaq's Cloud Transformation to build and migrate critical capital market operations to the cloud.
Prior to Nasdaq, Karan was an advisor to DataChain Captial, a cryptocurrency hedge fund, and an advisor to a financial services company, Fnality — helping to create a network of distributed Financial Market Infrastructures enabling an on-chain wholesale exchange of value in Central Banks. In his spare time, Karan has taught a Blockchain course at MIT Sloan and works with MIT Open Learning as a Blockchain Advisor, helping professionals learn blockchain technology.
"I've witnessed first-hand how blockchain and cryptocurrency technology can enhance businesses working in numerous industries, but today's solutions are fragmented and too complex for many companies and developers to integrate. With the proliferation of Layer 1 & 2, users need an easier way to manage their assets," explains Karan. "AIKON has all the plumbing in place to be a market-leading, universal non-custodial wallet across chains. Being a multi-chain solution, AIKON provides visibility to assets across various chains in a simple, secure and scalable way. The future is decentralized and AIKON is well-positioned to onboard the next billion users to Web3. I'm excited to be part of such a talented team and company that is accelerating this future."
"Karan's expertise in building and scaling products that delight customers, paired with his extensive knowledge in blockchain and crypto technology represent a huge opportunity for AIKON," says AIKON CEO and Founder Marc Blinder. "As adoption of blockchain and crypto technology grows, we understand that businesses and developers need easy-to-use solutions with simple integration to get their users up and running quickly. We're excited to bring on Karan who understands this vision and will continue to ensure that AIKON's product offerings meet the industry's and our customer's rapidly evolving needs."
Web3 Onboarding Via Web2 Logins
AIKON adds Karan at a time of extreme customer and product-led growth for the company. This news comes on the heels of AIKON's recent customer announcements that Web3 digital marketing company FUFU is tapping ORE ID for their entire ecosystem and biometric identification leader Humanode has been added as a login option for ORE ID.
ORE ID is built on the ORE Network by developers for developers to provide dApp end-users with a simple authorization and wallet creation experience using everyday logins like GMail, Facebook, SMS and more. What differentiates ORE ID from competitors is the true nature of cross-chain and not just EVM compatible chains.
Leveraging ORE ID, ORE Vault is an enterprise-grade, multi-sig wallet solution for teams that makes it easier to manage digital assets in a secure and compliant way. As more and more institutions are putting digital assets on their balance sheet and treasury, the need for ORE Vault is greater than ever.
