✨ Who you are?
- You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
- You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
- You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
- You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
- You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
- You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

🎯 Exciting Times Ahead:
As we approach the end of 2024, the cryptocurrency world is abuzz with anticipation for the approval of a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event. These events are expected to significantly impact the market, attracting more institutional investors and potentially driving up the value of cryptocurrencies. At Blocknovas LLC, we are gearing up to leverage these opportunities to make a big change and further our mission in the blockchain space.
