The Project

Our Partner is an R&D firm dedicated to building and advancing credit protocol primitives in the growing digital asset market.

Over the last three years they have built a team of passionate degens, ex-financers, researchers, developers, quantitative analysts and designers. This is a remote-first environment with a team split across APAC/Europe - with a team who regularly get together for in-person events, to align and strategise on focus.

This team is passionate about DeFi and the improvements it can bring towards more transparent, efficient and available financial systems - with the goal to continue to drive the crypto asset space forward through their R&D contribution.

  • Referral system to improve organic marketing
  • Best-in-class PnL tracking and reporting system
  • Trading leaderboards, trading competitions
  • Off-chain liquidation system to maximise available liquidity
  • Asset risk dashboards for monitoring and alerting the credit system

  • Ability to innovate and be creative in a sometimes chaotic start-up/DAO environment

Tech Stack/Experience

  • Highly proficient with Typescript, Javascript, Rust
  • Good understanding of key design principles
  • Good understanding of DeFi / crypto-financial primitives and the blockchain landscape
