Job Description:

Company Description:We're a forward-thinking startup focused on creating atransparent, community-driven blockchain protocol designed to solve real-world problems. Our mission is to build a decentralized ecosystem that prioritizes fairness, security, and long-term value for users-not quick profits. We're seeking a developer who shares our commitment to ethical innovation and wants to pioneer the next generation of blockchain infrastructure.Responsibilities:

• Design and build a decentralized blockchain protocol from scratch, including consensus mechanisms (e.g., Proof-of-Stake, DAG), network architecture, and governance models.
• Develop and deploy native tokens or coins with fair tokenomics (e.g., equitable distribution, anti-whale mechanisms, locked liquidity).
• Ensure security-first practices: Conduct audits, implement cryptographic safeguards, and stress-test the network against exploits.
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate decentralized applications (dApps) and developer tools into the ecosystem.
• Engage with the community: Document progress transparently, contribute to open-source repositories, and participate in AMAs/forums.
• Optimize for scalability, interoperability, and low transaction costs (e.g., Layer 2 solutions, sharding).Requirements:Experience:
• 3+ years in blockchain protocol development (not just smart contracts).
• Proficiency in Rust, Go, or C++ (critical for protocol-level coding).
• Familiarity with Solidity for EVM-compatible smart contracts.Technical Skills:
• Deep understanding of consensus algorithms, peer-to-peer networking, and cryptography (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs).
• Experience with token standards (ERC-20, SPL) and cross-chain interoperability (IBC, bridges).
• Knowledge of DeFi primitives (staking, liquidity pools) and governance frameworks (DAOs).Mindset:
• Passion for ethical Web3 practices (no pump-and-dump schemes, rug pulls, or misleading marketing).
• Commitment to open-source development and public accountability.
• Strong problem-solving skills to balance decentralization, security, and scalability.Preferred Qualifications:
• Contributions to open-source blockchain projects (GitHub profile required).
• Experience with third-party audits (e.g., CertiK, Trail of Bits) and bug-bounty programs.
• Understanding of regulatory compliance (e.g., Howey Test, MiCA) for token design.
• Familiarity with decentralized governance models (e.g., on-chain voting, token-curated registries).Why Join Us?
• Build a blockchain from the ground up with a team that values transparency and innovation.
• Shape a protocol that prioritizes community ownership and avoids centralized control.
• Competitive salary + equity/token allocation (with fair vesting schedules).
• Work remotely with flexible hours, but a strong emphasis on collaboration and accountability.How to Apply:Submit your resume, GitHub profile, and a brief note explaining:
• Your vision for a fair and sustainable blockchain ecosystem.
• A technical challenge you faced in past blockchain projects and how you resolved it.Key Ethical Guardrails (Publicly Stated):
• No anonymous team: Founders and developers will doxx themselves post-funding.
• Liquidity locks: All LP tokens will be locked via Unicrypt or Team Finance.
• Transparent roadmap: Milestones and budgets will be published openly.
