Abacus Works is looking for a Senior Protocol Engineer to work on Hyperlane, the first permissionless interoperability layer!
The Hyperlane protocol is pioneering permissionless and modular interoperability. Providing developers with an API to connect between blockchains, Hyperlane is the first tool that allows anyone to add interoperability capabilities to any chain without having to deal with gatekeeping! Hyperlane's modular security stack means developers can configure and customize their security to their needs, always remaining in control.
