The network is fast, reliable, and fully EVM compatible using Reth as the execution layer. We created Plasma BFT, our own high performance consensus protocol, and reached the cost efficiency and predictability required for real economic activity at scale.
We believe stablecoins will reshape global finance and expand access to a more open financial system. Team Culture
We hire people who are relentless about their craft and expect that same standard from everyone around them.
Everyone owns their craft, moves with urgency, and contributes beyond their lane. We back each other, we debate hard, and we hold a high bar for what great looks like.
