Axion Jobs

Why Axion?

Axion is building the first blockchain SDK for web scale decentralized applications.

Big Problems in Web3 we are solving:

• TPS limitations that inhibit the progress of innovative new applications.
• Bridge insecurity which restricts cross-chain interoperability.
• Existing DeFi infra is insufficient for decentralized price discovery.

Axion reduces TPS limitations through novel infrastructure that enables the production of application specific blockchains which exceed 100,000 transactions per second. Moreover, Axion reduces bridging issues through seamless cross-chain communication powered by built-in state proof support. Lastly, the Axion hub scales DeFi by operating the first order book based decentralized exchange that is capable of high throughput.

At Axion, our goal is to build the blockchain infrastructure on which all of web3 will be built. Axion will enable developers to seamlessly deploy the highest TPS blockchains available to date, opening up a new world of applications that cannot be built on-chain today – exchanges, social media platforms, gaming platforms, logistics networks, etc.

Who we are

The founders of Axion met while working in the hedge fund industry. There, they saw the old financial system--opaque, full of moats, unfair. When they saw the growth of DeFi in 2020, they felt it was going to be incredibly disruptive. They saw what they believed to be the early stages of a new financial world. Armed with that vision, the team built out the top suite of DeFi applications on a leading Layer 1 blockchain.

Now the team is going after a bigger prize -- building the blockchain infrastructure that will power the new internet.
