Blockchain Engineer (Rust, Python, C#)

Gluwa is a borderless financial platform that is composed of mobile apps, REST API, smart contracts, and blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and our own Creditcoin). Together, they enable you to transact with anyone on the Internet without giving up control of your money.

Gluwa is looking for open source maintainers of Creditcoin.

The Creditcoin network is a live public blockchain. Gluwa is the creator of the Creditcoin protocol and maintains an open-source implementation called Gluwa Creditcoin. We implemented the blockchain-based on Hyperledger Sawtooth.

The cryptocurrency of the project is listed on OKEx, Bittrex Global, and GOPAX.

As a Creditcoin engineer, your first project will be:

The Transition from Hyperledger Sawtooth 1.0.5 to 1.2.0

“Hyperledger Sawtooth (Sawtooth) is an enterprise solution for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers (also called blockchains).” https://sawtooth.hyperledger.org/

Our company has implemented a PoW consensus engine for Sawtooth 1.0.5 in Python, which you can use as a reference. However, it may not be very straightforward; Sawtooth has changed the architecture in its new version (1.2).

Also, we wish to implement the new consensus engine in Rust instead of Python. https://github.com/gluwa/CreditcoinRequirements::
