Job description

Topl is a venture backed blockchain startup that helps small and large companies track, tokenize and monetize their sustainable impact claims. We have built a very unique value proposition in the Web3 space. from both a technical and commercial POV:

  • Commercial: we built a layer 1 protocol specifically tailored for proving impact claims. Different from most protocols,we built blockchain together with the solutions layer and have even built products on top of that. We have >30 signed use cases with significant test net and increasing mainnet activity prior to our genesis token mint.

  • Technical: Some truly distinguishable merits include but are not limited to: we will be the first POS blockchain to reach Nakamoto consensus level security (aka Bitcoin POW), an enterprise-focused private smart contract layer (to complement our public, permissionless blockchain), a utxo model to afford more granular level asset tracking, and a two-coin (payment / crypto) system to offer low and stable fees over time. In essence, we have built a better mousetrap for how we want / expect our users and community to use the blockchain, with our early users as proof.
