# AIKON

> AIKON built ORE ID and ORE Vault to let businesses add cross-chain sign-in, wallet creation and shared digital-asset controls without asking every customer to master crypto first. Founded in 2017, it began with a decentralized API marketplace and found a more concrete problem in the login experience its own marketplace needed.

- **Founded:** 2017
- **Headquarters:** San Mateo, United States
- **Founders:** Marc Blinder (Co-founder and CEO), Stefan Roever (Co-founder)
- **Products:** API.market, ORE ID, ORE Vault
- **Notable:** Reported more than 200,000 multi-chain wallets created by September 2022., Reported ORE ID use in 12 countries in September 2022., Raised a $10 million Series A led by Morgan Creek Digital in September 2022.
