Protocol that enables tokenization of domains as Real World Assets (RWAs) onto the
blockchain.
3. Research, implement and maintain smart contracts to enable "DomainFi" applications
across multiple L1/L2 blockchains. This includes tokenization, name resolution,
secondary trading, and lending/borrowing.
4. Implement backend services to interface with blockchain and traditional DNS
Registry/Registrar infrastructure.
5. Ensure the scalability, performance, and security of the protocol and application.
6. Ensure code quality through code reviews, testing, and debugging.

certifications and additional coursework are a plus.
4. Minimum 5 years of professional experience in backend development using Node.js and
MySQL/Postgres.
5. Minimum 3 years experience in blockchain development using Solidity/Rust, with strong
understanding of distributed systems, consensus algorithms and storage subsystems.
6. Familiarity with Git version control and Agile methodologies for collaborative
development.
7. Strong problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a self-motivated attitude, with a
willingness to learn new technologies in a fast-paced startup environment.
