Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Solidity developer to join our innovative team as a contractor on a 4-6 month project. This role is crucial for developing and deploying smart contracts on our proprietary Layer 1 blockchain, Telcoin Network. The ideal candidate will take full ownership of the design and implementation process, working closely with our blockchain engineering team to integrate ERC-20 tokens as native tokens and manage validator staking mechanisms.
Key Responsibilities:
- Smart Contract Development: Design, build, and maintain advanced smart contracts on Solidity. Take the lead on developing a bridge for Telcoin’s ERC-20 token from Ethereum to our Layer 1 blockchain, considering solutions like Axelar and General Message Passing.
- Token Integration: Integrate the bridged ERC-20 asset as the native token of our Layer 1 blockchain, analogous to how MATIC functions on Polygon, ensuring stability and security in token management.
- Staking Contract: Develop a permissioned validator staking contract accessible only to accounts holding a specific governance-issued NFT. This includes handling staking mechanisms, reward issuance, and ensuring secure and efficient on-chain transactions.
Audit: Work with external auditors to ensure the highest level of security and transparency.
Requirements:
- Proven experience in Solidity and smart contract development.
- Familiarity with blockchain bridging technologies and protocols.
- Deep knowledge of proof of stake consensus mechanisms
- Strong understanding of cryptography, side-chains, bridging solutions, and blockchain fundamentals.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
- Experience with permissioned blockchain systems and NFTs is highly desirable.
Nice to haves:
- Familiarity with Polygon, Cosmos, Axelar, and General Message Passing (CCIP/CCTP, Wormhole, etc.)
- Participation with a project that launched a side-chain or Layer 2 solution.
- Insight on the integration between smart contracts and blockchain state.
- Web3 experience and/or open-source contributions are preferred.
