Job Description
Kronos is on a quest to bring together the brightest PhD students who are passionate about decentralized market-making. As an intern, you will embark on a minimum 2-month journey, delving into the world of cutting-edge research, guided by our accomplished Senior Quantitative Researchers. Your focus will be on pioneering new approaches within the dynamic realm of decentralized finance.
Some areas of research our team is currently looking into:
- Zero-knowledge proofs and applications
- Proposer-builder separation applications
- MEV applications such as MEV-Boost, MEV-Share
- Cross-chain liquidity
- Order flow auctions
Requirements
- You are a current PhD student or a recent PhD graduate in a quantitative subject (e.g. Statistics, Finance, Financial Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science)
- You are committed – we require applicants to be based in HongKong and commit a minimum period of 2 months(may extend mostly based on performance) toward this internship programme.
- You possess a strong interest in DeFi protocols - and good knowledge of blockchain basics.
- You are a quant at heart – you look at everything from a quantitative and analytical lens, utilizing back-testing and simulation as your go-to.
- You are a coder – you possess strong programming skills in either Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Golang and/or Solidity. Having knowledge of EVM Assembly is a plus!
- You are a research scientist – you possess exceptional problem solving and critical thinking skills.
- You are results driven – you are decisive and prioritize achieving overall results
What is EVM?
EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it is the runtime environment for smart contracts in the Ethereum network
It is a virtual machine that executes code written in the Solidity programming language, which is the language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform
The EVM is a sandboxed environment, which means that code executed within the EVM is isolated from the rest of the network and cannot interact with it directly
This is important for security reasons, as it prevents malicious code from affecting the rest of the network
When a smart contract is deployed to the Ethereum network, it is compiled into bytecode that can be executed by the EVM
Each node on the network maintains a copy of the EVM, which allows them to execute smart contract code and validate transactions
When a transaction is submitted to the network, the EVM processes it by executing the corresponding smart contract code
The EVM processes the transaction by reading the bytecode, interpreting it, and executing it step by step
The EVM then returns the result of the transaction to the sender, which can include changes to the state of the contract or the network as a whole
The EVM is designed to be Turing-complete, which means that it is capable of performing any computation that can be performed by a computer
This allows for complex smart contracts to be executed on the Ethereum network, including those with conditional logic, loops, and other advanced programming constructs
The EVM is a key component of the Ethereum network, as it allows for the execution of smart contracts in a secure and isolated environment
It is a crucial part of the blockchain infrastructure that enables decentralized applications to be built and run on the Ethereum platform.
