Team & Advisors
The talented team and advisors building the future of secure, anonymous voting.
Our Team
Agora is built by a team of developers, cryptographers, product designers, and editorial advisors passionate about creating secure, accessible anonymous participation tools. The team combines deep technical expertise with a commitment to privacy, free expression, and democratic resilience.
Agora's Canton Network settlement and the nine shipped milestones (v1.0–v9.0) were co-architected by CEO Siyar Devran Batmaz and CTO Mehmet Fatih Aksoy. Media and community relations are led by C. Ka, who shapes the platform's use cases for newsrooms, whistleblowers, and community journalism.
Our advisors provide strategic guidance in blockchain technology, cryptography, legal & regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, MiCA), DAO governance, and journalism — ensuring Agora meets the highest standards of security, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
