Questbook is building the tech stack for a pseudonymous future of work. Hundreds of builders apply for grants on questbook.app every month. Many of them ask to apply pseudonymously to save themselves from discrimination based on their sex, geography, religion, and race. Some also want to hide their real identity to avoid getting in trouble with their day job.

We are building the tech stack that allows users to use their credentials that they've accrued over time on services like Github, Twitter, or their employer's internal websites - all without revealing their real identity.

About the role

We are building a privacy-preserving proof protocol to generate proof of credentials for users. We do so using the TLS session keys and a consensus mechanism. (Please contact me for early versions of the whitepaper)

The closest cousins for what we're building are deco.works and tlsnotary.org .

You'll be best fit if

• You have prior experience designing tokens
• Have a strong background in Game Theory

Sample projects

• Deconstruct the token design of Chainlink
• Build a prototype of the consensus mechanism using Cosmos SDK
• Determine and prove the Schelling point for the token design

You will be

• Designing the token for the protocol
• Building prototypes for the protocol
• Theoretically proving the correctness of the protocol designed
