An Insider's view of DUST Identity

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

From parts in fighter jets to tomatoes in the grocery store, how do we know that products are genuine and produced according to the seller's promises? Identity is the key to trust. We create trust by providing an unclonable fingerprint for physical things that securely binds objects of any size to their digital records.

Peter

VP of Operations

What makes someone successful on your team?

You will thrive on our team if you are curious about the world, see problems as unsolved rather than unsolvable, and love to learn about a wide range of topics. You can handle ambiguity and take initiative. You are curious about the why AND the how. You enjoy being part of a collaborative team and can provide feedback just as well as receive it.
