Under his leadership, the company developed Chain Core, a [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure product designed to help organizations issue and transfer financial assets on private networks. The platform was created to address inefficiencies in the financial settlements industry, including high transfer fees, lack of transparency, settlement delays, and security issues.\n\nAs the platform evolved, Chain rebranded its token from CHN to XCN ([Onyxcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/onyxcoin-xcn)) in March 2022 and implemented several upgrades, including the Chain [Decentralized Autonomous Organization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao) (DAO), the beta release of the Onyx Cloud product, and XCN [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) capabilities. These developments led to market attention and value growth for the token.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[4]](#cite-id-pFEl4bhAux) In January 2023 the project formally adopted the Onyx Protocol branding, positioning Chain’s infrastructure within a multi-layer architecture that includes the XCN Ledger as a [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) network and the Goliath [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain).[[13]](#cite-id-ejfcudupxc)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)[[15]](#cite-id-rnrawxzv4p)\n\n## Education\nAdam Ludwin holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, which he obtained in 2010. Prior to that, he earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 2004.[[6]](#cite-id-5IOqgigvNZ)[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps) These academic qualifications in business and the social sciences provided the foundation for his later work in consulting, venture capital, and [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure.\n\n## Career\nBorn in Los Angeles and raised in [Santa](https://iq.wiki/wiki/santa) Monica, Ludwin studied political science and economics at the University of California, Berkeley before pursuing graduate business training at Harvard Business School.[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps) After completing his formal education, he began his career as an associate at The Boston Consulting Group in New York and later worked as a design intern at IDEO in Boston, gaining experience in strategy consulting and product and service design.[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps)[[3]](#cite-id-HvETDSw7Bo)\n\nBuilding on this early consulting and design work, Ludwin became a venture partner at RRE Ventures, where he invested in early-stage technology companies including Slack, Vine, Kik, Keybase, and other startups in messaging, social media, and consumer software.[[6]](#cite-id-5IOqgigvNZ)[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps)[[3]](#cite-id-HvETDSw7Bo) In addition to his fund role, he has invested in several startups as an entrepreneur and angel investor, particularly in the fintech and digital infrastructure sectors.[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps)\n\nLudwin co-founded Chain in 2014 with backing from venture capital firms such as Khosla Ventures and RRE Ventures. Chain raised over $40 million in funding from investors and strategic partners including Nasdaq, Orange, Capital One, and Citigroup, as it developed enterprise [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure for financial institutions.[[9]](#cite-id-vofzv48f72)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)[[10]](#cite-id-9x6ftaq1ph) Under Ludwin's leadership, Chain developed [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) solutions aimed at modernizing financial systems. The company's core product allowed multiple independent [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) networks to exist and work together, even when operated by different firms, using the principle of least authority to maintain security and control over assets.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)\n\nIn a 2016 episode of the Unchained podcast hosted by [Laura Shin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/laura-shin), Ludwin, then CEO of Chain, discussed how the company was applying [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to the movement of financial assets and the broader potential of shared ledgers in financial services.[[23]](#cite-id-fo3sja444y) As the business developed, Chain was acquired in September 2018 by Lightyear Corporation, a Stellar-focused commercial entity formed with the support of the [Stellar](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stellar) Development [Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/foundation), and the combined company was renamed Interstellar.[[11]](#cite-id-5qarv5dh6r)[[10]](#cite-id-9x6ftaq1ph) By 2021, the business was described in project materials as operating as a privately held corporation with new offices, shareholders, and a new board of directors.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)\n\nFollowing the Interstellar phase, the Chain platform continued to evolve. The rebranding from Chain to Onyx Protocol in March 2022 marked an evolution of the platform and its token, with CHN rebranded to XCN (Onyxcoin). The protocol is defined in its technical materials as a system that \"allows participants to issue and control assets programmatically using digital signatures and custom rules,\" and later project communications framed this transition as part of a broader multi-layer Onyx architecture built around the XCN Ledger ([Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3)) and the Goliath [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain).[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)[[13]](#cite-id-ejfcudupxc)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)[[15]](#cite-id-rnrawxzv4p) Project documentation describes [Onyxcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/onyxcoin-xcn) (XCN) as a separate cryptocurrency project operating independently of JP Morgan and any traditional banking institution.[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX) In early November 2024, JP Morgan rebranded its [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) unit from Onyx to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan, marking the next phase of the bank’s [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) business.[[12]](#cite-id-36kwdomhcj)\n\nAfter the sale of Chain, Ludwin co-founded Pogo Financial, a mobile wallet platform aimed at interoperating with QR-based payment networks, and served as its CEO.[[3]](#cite-id-HvETDSw7Bo) He later became president and COO of Byte Inc., a short-form video app that was acquired by Discord.[[3]](#cite-id-HvETDSw7Bo)[[4]](#cite-id-pFEl4bhAux)[[22]](#cite-id-f967j3l1ey) These roles extended his work beyond enterprise [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) into consumer-facing financial and social products.\n\nLudwin has been recognized as an entrepreneur and investor in blockchain and financial technology, and has written and spoken about the potential for distributed ledgers to reshape financial infrastructure.[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps)[[6]](#cite-id-5IOqgigvNZ) The Onyx Protocol he developed allows companies to issue, store, and transfer digital assets on private independent networks through various ecosystem products, including RPC/API services and a ledger-as-a-service option called Sequence.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps) His work with Chain and Onyx Protocol has focused on enterprise blockchain solutions that aim to address specific challenges in the financial industry while maintaining security and control.\n\n## Technology Contributions\nUnder Ludwin's direction, Chain developed several technical features, which later informed the design of the Onyx Protocol:\n- **Issuance Programs:** A system allowing network participants to define and issue assets on the [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) by creating \"issuance programs\" that specify asset behavior.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)\n- **Control Programs:** Written in a Turing-complete programming language, these programs maintain custody of assets and can create sophisticated [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) for [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) networks.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)\n- **[Block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) Signers and Generators:** A security system where a group of \"[block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) signers\" secure each network, while a single \"[block](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) generator\" creates [blocks](https://iq.wiki/wiki/block) for efficiency, with any [node](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) able to validate blocks and submit transactions.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)\n- **Onyx DAO:** A decentralized governance system in which XCN token holders stake their tokens to participate in the governance of the Chain/Onyx Protocol through the Onyx DAO.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)\n\nBuilding on this infrastructure, the Onyx roadmap introduced Goliath, a high‑throughput proof‑of‑stake [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) targeted at institutional finance, with its [testnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/testnet) going live in 2025 and its [mainnet](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mainnet) launching in March 2026 as the new base of the ecosystem.[[16]](#cite-id-67xpgnbuuk)[[13]](#cite-id-ejfcudupxc)[[17]](#cite-id-nf4bo8xey7) In parallel, the XCN Ledger was deployed as a [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) network built on [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) technology to provide low‑cost [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-finance) and application execution, with plans to deprecate this [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) by 31 December 2026 in order to concentrate development on the [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) network while keeping XCN anchored as an [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)‑native ERC‑20 token.[[18]](#cite-id-lmek8bkr0j)[[15]](#cite-id-rnrawxzv4p)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv) This progression toward a dedicated institutional [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) is presented as extending Ludwin’s earlier focus on enterprise‑grade [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure for financial services.[[13]](#cite-id-ejfcudupxc)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)\n\nMore recent protocol work under the Onyx DAO has included governance and [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) innovations such as a [liquid staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquid-staking) token, sXCN, designed to represent staked XCN while remaining usable in DeFi, and experimentation with AI‑assisted agents and tooling to help manage and automate aspects of the ecosystem.[[19]](#cite-id-ce6yozykec)[[20]](#cite-id-n3j85mnarl)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)[[15]](#cite-id-rnrawxzv4p) These initiatives are described as extending the architecture that originated with Ludwin’s design for Chain and the Onyx Protocol.[[21]](#cite-id-6m9xgjssjy)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)\n\n## Onyxcoin (XCN)\nThe native token of the Onyx ecosystem, [XCN](https://iq.wiki/wiki/onyxcoin-xcn), is an [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)‑based ERC‑20 asset that serves as both a [utility](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) and [governance token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens). It allows holders to stake and vote on protocol improvement proposals through the Onyx DAO, and functions as [gas](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas) and a payment token across the Onyx architecture, including the XCN Ledger ([Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3)), the Goliath [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) network, and services such as Onyx Cloud and Sequence.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)[[20]](#cite-id-n3j85mnarl)[[15]](#cite-id-rnrawxzv4p)[[18]](#cite-id-lmek8bkr0j)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv) On‑chain governance is organized around formal Onyx Improvement Proposals (OIPs), with voting and execution rules defined in the protocol’s governance framework.[[20]](#cite-id-n3j85mnarl)\n\n[Onyxcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/onyxcoin-xcn) (XCN) has a total and maximum supply of 48,470,523,779 tokens. During its launch phase, 15,000,000,000 tokens were allocated to the foundation and 10,000,000,000 to the [DAO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dao).[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)\n\nWithin this token framework, Ludwin’s role in creating Chain and launching the Onyx Protocol placed him among the early entrepreneurs focused on enterprise [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure for financial institutions.[[7]](#cite-id-VeYE9nffps)[[5]](#cite-id-N5BTHnK4Jn) The Onyx Protocol continues to operate as a cloud [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure that allows companies to create private [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) networks for enhanced financial services, addressing issues such as transfer fees, transparency, settlement delays, and security within the financial settlements industry.[[1]](#cite-id-3wHkqrqHCk)[[2]](#cite-id-N7WMebnVdX)[[6]](#cite-id-5IOqgigvNZ) Within this evolving ecosystem, the positioning of XCN as the governance and [utility token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) for a multi‑layer architecture is described as reflecting the continuation of Ludwin’s original vision for programmable, institution‑grade digital asset networks.[[13]](#cite-id-ejfcudupxc)[[14]](#cite-id-at13dgjtdv)\n\n## Interviews\n\n\n### Unchained interview\nOn June 3, 2019, in an episode of Unchained hosted by [Laura Shin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/laura-shin), Adam Ludwin, then CEO of Chain, discussed how his company was using [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology to support the movement of financial assets. He outlined the Chain Open Standard as a protocol intended to let multiple institutions share a common infrastructure while each retained control over its own assets, positioning it as an alternative to traditional, siloed databases.\n\n $$widget0 [YOUTUBE@VID](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU1IK2FR8XI)$$ \n\nDuring the interview, Ludwin described partnerships with firms such as Nasdaq, Visa, and Citigroup and explained how public‑private key cryptography is used in the system to secure transfers. He expressed his view that, over time, securities, currencies, and potentially [central bank digital currencies](https://iq.wiki/wiki/central-bank-digital-currency-cbdc) could be issued in digital form on blockchain-based platforms, and argued that such systems could increase transparency and efficiency in financial markets.[[8]](#cite-id-9XUL8Rp4de)","recentActivity":null,"operator":{"id":"0x1E23b34d3106F0C1c74D17f2Cd0F65cdb039b138"},"categories":[{"id":"people","title":"People in
