About the job
ABOUT US
Our mission is to empower a dynamic, inclusive, and borderless global ecosystem - at scale - based on the Algorand blockchain technology.
The Algorand blockchain — designed by MIT professor and Turing award-winning cryptographer —is uniquely capable of delivering on the promise of a borderless global economy. It achieves transaction throughputs at the speed of traditional finance, but with immediate finality, near zero transaction costs, and on a 24/7 basis. Its carbon-neutral platform and unique pure proof-of-stake consensus mechanism solves the “blockchain trilemma” by achieving security and scalability on a decentralized protocol, and without a second of downtime since it went live in 2019.
The Algorand Foundation dedicates itself to fulfilling the global promise of the Algorand blockchain by taking responsibility for promoting the technology, decentralized governance, and a healthy and prosperous open-source ecosystem.
