Astria Jobs

Settler Labs, is building Astria: The Shared Sequencer Network. Astria tackles centralization head-on, providing rollups with a decentralized sequencer and even better UX. Astria’s Shared Sequencer Network is a middleware blockchain with its own decentralized sequencer set which accepts transactions from multiple rollups. These transactions are ordered into a single block and written to the base layer without executing them.
