• Work closely with founders, developers, and industry experts to craft engaging, well-informed narratives.
• Review and refine technical content to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with 2077 Research’s standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Familiarity with Ethereum Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) blockchain architectures, protocol designs, and innovations at the infrastructure and application layers.
• Proficiency with on-chain analytics tools like Dune, Nansen, or similar platforms, and the ability to present data effectively using charts and dashboards.
• Exceptional communication skills to distill complex technical concepts into accessible, engaging prose for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Proven ability to analyze protocols, whitepapers, and emerging trends.
• Experience evaluating DeFi protocols and projects, including assessing infrastructure, architecture, and operational mechanics.
• A self-starter who thrives in a remote, fast-paced environment, meeting deadlines without compromising quality.
