💰 $6M Seed Round on 2022-06

Description

• Linera is the first blockchain infrastructure optimized to provide web3 applications with unprecedented horizontal scaling, bringing the infinite scalability of Web2 to Web3. • Linera redefines blockchain scalability by pioneering microchains – lightweight chains that operate in parallel within a common set of validators. • Cheap horizontal scalability is what made the success of Internet as we know it. Web3 applications will not become mainstream if users experience poor quality of service (say, higher latency or greater fees) during peak hours. • Blockchain users understand the risk of trusting a centralized system with their assets and opinion leaders will continue to advocate for strong decentralization. • Recent awareness on scalability issues (e.g. with the success of Solana) will be followed by increasing awareness on fairness issues (e.g. cross-chain MEV). • In short, now is the right time to revisit the "Blockchain Trilemma" and push the boundaries of decentralization, scalability, and fairness in blockchain protocols.

Requirements

• You are passionate about building software that serves people. • You love innovation and are comfortable with open-ended technical challenges. • You are familiar with Web3 technologies, or are eager to learn. • You love coding in Rust. • You have a proven track record of shipping great software for 5+ years. • You appreciate clean code, automated tests, and documentation. You understand the importance of quality, security, and community trust in Web3 projects. • You thrive in small teams and are used to having significant ownership of the problems that you are working on.

Benefits

• Build open-source software in Rust and contribute to the design of a new blockchain infrastructure. • Be part of a strong team that values and encourages expertise across many domains (starting with: blockchain protocols, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, software security, and cryptography). • As an early team member, set the culture and the foundations of Linera. • Receive excellent compensation and benefits.
