IPFS is an open-source project that cares deeply about supporting its many communities — from distributed web developers, to browsers, to blockchain projects, to data storage hosts
Having healthy communities is critical for the long-term health of IPFS by ensuring that all contributors and users are welcome, engaged, and getting the help they need
At Protocol Labs, research development (ResDev) is an even more advanced set of work
In addition to supporting our on-going services and protocols, a developer relations person would help advance the next generation of blockchain and Web3 technologies
This means rallying developers and scientists around the world to help advance the state of the art, exploring novel technologies, and bridging research areas into documentation and tools the community can build on
Cryptonet is an open distributed research lab working on applied cryptography to improve crypto-networks
