It integrates two primary layers: - **Verification Layer (The Truth Engine)**: Applies zero-knowledge proofs to three data sources: zkTLS (verifies real-world data from any website), DKIM Module/zkEmail (verifies email contents using DKIM signatures), and App Attestations (verifies mobile app data). - **Abstraction Layer**: Embeds account, signature, gas, payment, device, and interoperability abstraction directly into the protocol, enabling users to log in with email, pay with credit cards, and never encounter blockchain complexity. - **Enterprise Verification Services**: Revenue-generating services for brands to verify user data privately. - **Ecosystem Applications**: A marketplace of applications built on XION, with revenue sharing for developers. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding: $36M–$38.5M (conflicting reports: LinkedIn states $38.5M, Greenhouse says $36M) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Multicoin Capital, Circle Ventures, Animoca Brands, Valor Capital, Alliance DAO, Alameda Research (led seed round) - **Growth Signals**: 150+ global brands including Uber, Amazon, BMW, LEGO, Temu, North Face, Travelex; 68M+ verified interactions; 5M+ users; $35M+ ARR from ecosystem applications; headcount grew 64.3% YoY to 18 employees; community of 1M+ followers across socials ## Competitive Advantages - **Only L1 with integrated verification infrastructure**: zkTLS, zkEmail, and App Attestations are built directly into the protocol, not as application-layer workarounds. - **Only L1 with protocol-level abstraction**: Account, gas, signature, payment, and device abstraction are part of the chain itself, making blockchain invisible to end users. - **Real-world traction**: Already generating $35M+ ARR from enterprise verification services and application revenue, not speculation. - **Revenue model**: Revenue from enterprise services, application revenue sharing, marketplace fees, and stablecoin activity flows back to the protocol through buybacks. ## Strategic Focus - **Mass adoption**: Removing all blockchain and crypto complexities to create user-friendly applications solving real-world use-cases. - **Developer ecosystem**: Building a developer community through tools, documentation (docs.burnt.com), and revenue-sharing incentives. - **Global expansion**: Hiring for APAC (Developer Relations Engineer), NYC, and Europe (Head of Design, Ecosystem Growth). - **Brand partnerships**: Expanding relationships with major global brands. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Fast-growing tech scale-up with a mission-driven focus on solving the internet's trust crisis. Described as a "startup" environment that values innovation and impact. - **Remote/hybrid policy**: Remote-first with offices in New York (HQ) and Berlin; some roles are fully remote, others are NYC/Europe-based with remote or hybrid options. - **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Work on cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure (Cosmos SDK, CosmWasm, zero-knowledge proofs); opportunities to shape a protocol that is already used by major brands; CEO has been featured on NYSE and NASDAQ; 28 total employees with 64.3% YoY headcount growth signals strong scaling momentum. - **Team composition**: 26% technical staff, with roles for Senior Protocol Engineer, Front End ("High-Functioning Psychopath"), Developer Relations Engineer, Head of Design, Ecosystem Growth, and Marketing Project Manager. ## Sources 1.
