Founded by CEO Bruno Faviero and CTO Arun Kirubarajan in early 2022, Magna allows crypto companies to put their token distributions on autopilot. With Magna, organizations can distribute tokens to their team, stakeholders, community members and other key stakeholders in a fast, secure, and reliable way on Solana, Ethereum, and other major blockchains. Magna’s token planning features also allow founders to plan future token distributions, while educating token holders on what their future ownership will look like.
The platform currently supports distributions on blockchains including Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and others, and is now managing over $30M of distributions for select customers, having distributed to thousands of recipients since going live in July.
With a presence in New York, Miami, and Toronto, the company is actively hiring across several roles.
