UI/UX Designer

Unifi Protocol Dao is a community founded organization, with the drive, passion, fortitude and ability to be disruptive in the most disruptive industry of our lifetimes. We believe blockchain technology has a crypto problem, so we’re looking to flip the table on the industry and build a blockchain without creating a native currency. How? … Well, apply and you’ll find out.

What would you do here? Simple enough, be a contributing factor in the most ambitious project in one of the most ambitious companies in one of the most disruptive industries in the world. You’re going to be helping us to literally re-think what a blockchain should be. You’ll be a part of a team ripping apart the core tenets of why gas tokens need to be inflationary currencies, how subsidizing validators with network inflation may just be building a tower of chips waiting to be cashed out, and retooling the concept that… maybe in an industry where gas tokens are widely perceived to 100x… that may destroy the possibility for token economies and businesses to thrive.
