About Ternoa
Ternoa 2.0 is a natively cross-chain TEE-enhanced zkEVM validium designed to onboard billions of retail customers into crypto. It aims to be a fast, secure, and cost-efficient PayFi network. The network features fast finality with frequent validity proofs for near-instant transactions suitable for payments. Security is enhanced by TEE integrity proofs that provide real-time guarantees against tampering with off-chain components. For cost-efficiency, it posts data on Avail modular DA, which can result in up to 90% savings on gas fees compared to posting directly on Ethereum. It offers a fast network with zkEVM finality and frequent validity proofs for near-instant transactions, suitable for payments. Security is provided through TEE integrity proofs, which give real-time guarantees against tampering with off-chain components to secure user funds. It is also cost-efficient, posting data on Avail modular DA, which leads to up to 90% savings on gas fees compared to posting directly on ETH.
Skills
About the Role
You'll work at the intersection of customers and builders to help shape what gets built and why. You'll talk directly to customers to understand how they use the product and where it falls short, and build a deep understanding of user workflows, especially in data-heavy environments. You'll identify and clearly define the most important problems to solve, then turn those insights into clear proposals for product direction. You'll move across engineering teams, focusing on where your context is most useful, and work closely with engineers and designers to shape solutions and tradeoffs. You'll bring clarity to ambiguous problems so teams can move quickly and make good decisions. Product is led directly by the CEO, and you'll work closely with him along with engineering and design leadership to shape direction and priorities.
