WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Design and implement paradigm-shifting extensions on top of vanilla EVMs, without breaking ecosystem compatibility.
- Here are some specific examples of projects you will contribute to:
- libevm (repo): the EVM as a library; a backwards-compatible fork of geth with injectable configuration directives to minimise merge conflicts.
- Streaming Asynchronous Execution (spec / talk / repo): decoupled consensus and execution, allowing for always-on, concurrent execution without forced dormancy.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT
- A self-starter with insatiable curiosity, combined with being comfortable diving into someone elseâs code to understand
