Company mission
To empower developers to build novel decentralized applications with the power of ZK.
Our take
Today, smart contracts on the blockchain suffer from a lack of readily available data. Reading and writing data is expensive, making it difficult to build applications that rely on large amounts of information. This forces developers to limit features and design contracts in restrictive ways.
Axiom offers a fresh approach, using Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography to provide smart contracts with richer data access at lower costs. It recently launched OpenVM, a modular zkVM framework designed for performance and customization. OpenVM allows developers to verify the execution of general-purpose Rust code on-chain, allowing more powerful and expressive decentralized applications. With OpenVM as a foundation, Axion is developing new products and supporting teams building on top of it
Backed by top industry investors and driven by a mission to make ZK accessible to smart contract developers, Axionm continues to expand its platform and team. And as zero-knowledge proofs reshape what's possible in crypto, Axiom is well positioned to be a foundational layer for the next wave of decentralized innovation..
