AIKON (pronounced “icon”) solves these problems by introducing an API rights protocol called Open Rights Exchange (ORE), which offloads the burden of API access control, API validation, and API payments to a shared infrastructure built on blockchain technology - the ORE network.

The ORE protocol is the underpinning technology for AIKON's end-to-end API marketplace that makes it easy for API providers to sell their APIs and for API consumers to discover, buy, and use them.
