Vottun

Vottun operates as a multi-chain developer platform, providing the infrastructure and tools necessary for developers and enterprises to build and deploy decentralized applications (dApps). The company was co-founded in 2018 by Luis Carbajo and Marta Vallés. Their shared interest in blockchain's potential, cultivated while working together at a consulting firm, led to the creation of a platform designed to make the technology more accessible. Carbajo, the CEO, brings extensive experience from high-level roles at major tech companies, including a stint as the Global Head of User Experience at Amazon and CEO of SoloStocks, a prominent online marketplace in Spain. COO Marta Vallés has a background as a lawyer and founder of a strategic consulting firm, and has been recognized by Forbes for her role in digital transformation.

The company's core offering is a blockchain-agnostic platform that simplifies the process of integrating blockchain technology, allowing developers to create dApps with little to no prior Web3 programming knowledge. Vottun provides a suite of APIs, SDKs, and ready-to-use templates for various applications, including digital credentials, supply chain traceability, NFTs, and payment certificates. The platform supports multiple public and private blockchains such as Ethereum, Stellar, Algorand, and Binance Smart Chain. To further lower the barrier to entry, Vottun has introduced a 'Code-to-Earn' model, which rewards developers for their work and contributions, with a particular focus on attracting talent from emerging economies.

Vottun's business model targets both individual developers and corporate clients seeking to innovate with blockchain. Revenue is generated through its platform, which is utilized by major brands like Nestle and PwC. The company also has a native utility token, $VTN, which is central to its ecosystem, designed to empower developers, activate on-chain services, and facilitate community governance. The firm has successfully raised capital from investors including Draper B1 and LLYC Venturing. A significant milestone was its selection by the Bank of Spain's regulatory sandbox, which authorized Vottun to develop a regulated crypto-financial solution, obtaining the same EU crypto assets license as major exchanges like Binance.
