Equity Co-Founder Role at GO WFO

We are delighted to present a unique opportunity to join our visionary team as an equity co-founder at GO WFO, a groundbreaking venture that blends technology with creativity.

This role will place you at the epicenter of the intersection between the creator economy and the extreme sports market through our innovative Autheo Layer-1 blockchain platform.

About GO WFO

GO WFO has spent over two years in development and is preparing for the launch of two key initiatives :

• Autheo : A Layer-1 blockchain platform custom-made for creators to own, expand, and monetize their networks.
• GO WFO : The first Layer-2 Creator Network focusing on extreme sports, operating on the Autheo platform.

These projects are poised to revolutionize the creator industry, set to surge to $500 billion by 2027, and the extreme sports market, a vibrant sports sector with over 400 million active participants globally.

Role Overview

We're seeking a Senior Researcher with significant academic and applied experience in economics, particularly within the context of permissionless blockchains.

You will take a leading role in designing rules and mechanisms in Monad that ensure the decentralized network operates smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include designing mechanisms that optimize decentralization, economic security, spam prevention, compatibility with existing infrastructure, and ease of use.

Working closely with our engineering team, you will design and test various mechanisms. You'll leverage your extensive knowledge of existing blockchains to evaluate options for Monad's design that optimize its security, decentralization, and performance.

Your work will help our team mitigate security threats and the risk of centralization. Your contributions will be essential to Autheo's success and its ability to scale safely to hundreds of millions of users.

Required Skills and Experience

We require a candidate with :

• In-depth knowledge of mechanisms and policies in existing blockchains.
• Excellent technical communication skills.
• A strong understanding of major DeFi primitives (AMMs, bridges, oracles, etc).
• High technical curiosity, attention to detail, creativity, resourcefulness, independence, and clarity of thought.

Bonus Experience

Experience at a L1 or L2 blockchain protocol, applied cryptography, distributed systems, game theory, or the ability to code (for implementing simulations) would be advantageous.

What We Offer

As an equity co-founder, you will join a team of experienced entrepreneurs who have successfully launched national and international ventures, raised over $500 million in capital, and driven multiple high-revenue disruptive projects.

You will work with our global team of 45 experts to position GO WFO as a leader in the creator network, with the potential to revolutionize the industry.

Though this role initially offers equity-only compensation, our comprehensive tokenomics plan includes the provision of tokens to co-founders upon completion.

Following our expected public token sale within the next six months, we plan to introduce salaries for both full-time and part-time positions.

Why Join Us

Working with us offers :

• The opportunity to solve extremely challenging problems with enormous potential impact.
• The chance to work with and learn from a small, exceptional team.
• A competitive salary and equity package.
• The chance to shape the culture as an early employee and make impactful contributions from day one.
• A part in a flat, results-driven organization.

Your work will have profound impact, enabling cheaper and more efficient decentralized computation, and ultimately paving the way for new dapps that improve many people's lives.
