We are supporting a well-funded, next-generation Layer 1 blockchain project. The platform is purpose-built for the tokenization and on-chain circulation of real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, with a strong focus on institutional adoption.
The team is building infrastructure that bridges traditional Web2 institutions into Web3, expanding on-chain asset diversity, unlocking new yield opportunities, and enabling broader investor participation. Their mission is to help enterprises overcome operational, regulatory, and knowledge barriers, allowing them to deploy assets on-chain in a secure, compliant, and scalable manner. With deep RWA domain expertise and strong technical execution, the team is developing institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure and a comprehensive decentralized ecosystem designed to support large-scale, real-world asset adoption.
We are seeking an Investment Manager to lead investment strategy and capital deployment across treasury and ecosystem funds at the intersection of Web3 infrastructure, DeFi, and real-world assets (RWA). You will source, evaluate, and execute investments that strengthen the network’s long-term ecosystem, while actively supporting portfolio companies and building strategic co-investment relationships across the industry.
