• Internship or academic experience related to crypto, blockchain, or investment research is a plus.
• Strong interest in digital assets and eagerness to learn about blockchain protocols and investment frameworks.

The Skills You Bring

• Basic understanding of blockchain technology and crypto ecosystems.
• Familiarity with concepts like smart contracts, tokenomics, oracles, and decentralized infrastructure.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas clearly.
• Collaborative and curious mindset, with a willingness to work across teams and disciplines.
• Exposure to programming or data tools (e.g., Python, SQL, Solidity, or cloud platforms like AWS) is a plus but not required.
