NucoAion

NucoAion refers to the blockchain initiative developed by Nuco, a Canadian technology company, centered on the Aion platform. Aion is a multi-tier blockchain designed to enable interoperability among heterogeneous blockchains, supporting cross-chain communication, data exchange, and value transfer. The platform proposes a layered architecture that allows private networks, public networks, and sidechains to interoperate through bridges and a common execution environment, with the aim of increasing scalability and flexibility in blockchain deployments.

Nuco, established in Toronto, led the development of Aion as part of its research into cross-chain technology. The project has been pursued as an open-source effort, with governance and ongoing maintenance involving an ecosystem of contributors and the Aion Foundation. Over time, the project has transitioned toward more community-led stewardship while retaining its origins in Nuco's research agenda.

In the broader context, NucoAion is recognized as one of the early initiatives to address blockchain interoperability and cross-chain communication. It has contributed to the discourse on multi-chain ecosystems and influenced subsequent efforts in cross-chain protocols and bridging solutions. The initiative continues to be discussed within blockchain interoperability circles as a reference case for multi-chain architectures.
