Job Description

Autonomys Network, in collaboration with the Subspace Foundation, is supporting an open research effort led by our Technical Co-Founder, on designing a permissionless unbounded sharding protocol. This role is for a Senior Protocol Researcher with strong expertise in permissionless blockchain consensus protocols and distributed systems .

Research Objective :   The goal is to design a permissionless sharding protocol that extends PoAS while maintaining its permissionless property with, ideally, shared security across unbounded number of shards. This work builds upon the Subspace v2 (Dilithium) consensus , which was developed over several years and launched as Autonomys Network. The work is open-ended but with clear milestones, focusing on extending our Proof-of-Archival-Storage (PoAS) consensus protocol.

Given this is an open research role, there is flexibility in how the work is structured. We would like to have someone that can commit to a full time contract, but we are open to part time commitments for the right person.

Materials (Research Context)

  • High-level Subspace PoAS consensus overview :
  • Implementation specifications :
  • Research paper :
  • Preliminary design constraints :

Research Scope

  • Propose an initial candidate design of a permissionless sharding protocol with PoAS consensus   within one month .
  • Advance to a state in which implementation prototyping can begin within three months .
  • Complete a formalized design with an initial security proof within one year .

Requirements

  • Strong expertise in   permissionless consensus protocols (Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Space) and large-scale distributed systems like public blockchains.
  • Familiarity with current landscape of blockchain sharding designs and blockchain protocols at large.
  • High agency: solving complex problems, proposing alternatives and novel solutions with minimal to no oversight.
  • Strong communication skills: responsiveness in async communications, timely updates about progress and any roadblocks, and ability to explain complex topics in approachable way.
  • Result-oriented , not process-oriented.
  • Ability to formalize and evaluate properties of cryptographic protocols.
  • Ability to author research articles and papers.
