The founder of Biconomy is Ahmed Al-Balaghi. He has worked with various blockchain firms like Viewfin, a leading Chinese blockchain company. He is an alumnus of Queen Mary University, London, England.
Biconomy was co-founded by two Indian entrepreneurs Sachin Tomar, who has a background in software development and Aniket Jindal, who has worked on Blockchain projects in the UAE.
The Biconomy network handles the transactions taking place on behalf of the end user. It offers a simple UI to the user where all they have to do is sign a transaction (it could be a crypto or an NFT sale transaction). The transaction is then verified and executed by the network participants for which they also earn BICO tokens.
These participants comprise of the node operators who verify the transaction and the executors who add the transaction to the network. The node operator needs to stake BICO tokens in order to be eligible to verify and relay transactions. There are two main targets achieved by staking BICO tokens and approving the transactions on the network; scalability of the ongoing traffic of transactions and the security of the network.
