This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Blockchain Developer to lead the design and development of a custom platform - backed by tangible assets like gold and silver.

The Role:
- Build a brand-new blockchain protocol from the ground up
- Design and implement consensus mechanisms (PoS, PoA, or novel alternatives)
- Develop low-level code in Rust, Go, or C++
- Create tools and APIs to support validators, wallets, and ecosystem developers
- Perform code reviews and contribute to protocol optimisation and security
The Person:
- Good years of blockchain development experience, ideally at protocol level
- Strong coding skills in Rust, Go, or C++
- Deep understanding of distributed systems and consensus design
- Familiar with cryptographic principles and secure key management
