Our Vision: Machines Will Be Our Future Workforce
At MachineFi Lab, we're not just envisioning the future; we're actively building itâtoday. We power the new reward economy by fostering a fairer, safer, and more rewarding Internet of Things (IoT). Central to our mission is the concept of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), a paradigm shift leveraging blockchain technology for capital formation and human coordination on a global scale. By enabling contributions to real-world infrastructure â spanning wireless, mobility, compute, energy, storage, and beyond â we empower individuals to invest in and shape the foundation of our future society. Leveraging our cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure, a robust suite of DePIN Modules, and expertise in crafting blockchain-integrated devices, MachineFi stands at the forefront of the DePIN revolution.Are you a maverick? A digital renegade? Are you someone who challenges the status quo, believing, against all odds, that you can change the world? If so, MachineFi is for you. Join us, and be part of the movement shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow.
We are seeking research engineers with solid research background and strong development skills in IoT security to join our research team. As a research engineer in IoT security, you will lead various decentralized IoT research projects, build IoT proof of concepts (PoCs) and/or full-fledged products, and collaborate with the product team for building innovative MachineFi solutions. You will have the opportunity and responsibility to build MachineFi Labâs long-term vision of powering billions of devices and decentralized applications across the physical and digital world.
MachineFi Lab, IoTeXâs core developer, is a leading tech provider for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), a Web3 category predicted to become a multi-trillion-dollar economy powered by billions of smart devices and trillions of sensors. Its team of over 60 research scientists and engineers released W3bstream, the world's first decentralized off-chain compute framework for smart devices and real-world data. It aims to provide advanced middleware and tools for Web2 businesses connecting to Web3 token incentives with real-world activity confirmed by user-owned smart devices, unlocking new business opportunities through its Proof-of-Anything technology, which can be used with several data sets, such as in location, activity, and humanity.
MachineFi Labâs easy-to-use tools for the creation of X-and-earn scenarios, such as play-and-earn, walk-and-earn, or sleep-and-earnâcommunity-owned machine networks, such as smart cities, public utilities, and other physical infrastructure. Backed by nearly 20 prominent VCs, including Samsung Next, Jump Crypto, Draper Dragon, Xoogler Ventures, IOSG, Wemade, and Escape Velocity, MachineFi Lab is building advanced technology to bring the metaverse into the real world, and vice versa.
