    • Experience with token standards (e.g., ERC‑20, ERC‑721, ERC‑1155, and security token standards like ERC‑1400).
    • Knowledge of on‑chain transaction flows, minting/burning logic, and oracle integration.
  • Domain Knowledge:
    • Solid understanding of the lifecycle of Real World Assets (RWAs) and their transition to digital ledgers.

    • Understanding of regulatory requirements relevant to digital securities and tokenized assets (e.g., KYC/AML triggers on‑chain).
  • Core Infrastructure & Distributed Systems:
    • Experience building and managing mission‑critical backend systems such as high‑throughput accounting/ledger systems.

  • Transparency - We believe that transparency is critical to empowering everyone to make the best decisions, both the company to its people and vice versa.
  • Integrity - Integrity creates trust. As both an organization collectively and as individuals, it is our most valuable asset.
