Job Brief
FreshCredit® is looking for blockchain engineers to build a borderless financial technology platform providing credit scoring services for consumers and businesses, not a bank,.
FreshCredit® is a platform that is composed of mobile apps, REST API, smart contracts, blockchains and/or parachains (Bitcoin, Polkadot, and our own FreshCredit® Token “FRESH”). Together, they enable you access a fair, transparent, and compliant credit reporting, disputing, and scoring system to transact with any individual, business, or organization on the internet without giving up control of your data.
FreshCredit® is looking for open source maintainers of FreshCredit® Token “FRESH”.
The FreshCredit® Token “FRESH” network is a live public blockchain. FreshCredit® is the creator of the FreshCredit® Token “FRESH” protocol and maintains an open-source implementation called FreshCredit® FreshCredit® Token “FRESH”. We implemented the blockchain-based on Polkadot Substrate.
As a FreshCredit® Token “FRESH” engineer, your first project will be:
The Polkadot Substrate
Polkadot Substrate (Substrate) is an enterprise solution for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers (also called blockchains).”
Our company has implemented a PoW consensus engine for Substrate 1.0.5 in Python, which you can use as a reference. However, it may not be very straightforward; Substrate has changed the architecture in its new version (1.2). Also, we wish to implement the new consensus engine in Rust instead of Python.
