Senior Go Blockchain Developer

Project

A travel technology Start-up led by two proven entrepreneurs and founded in 2021 based in Baar, Switzerland. The aim is to develop travel related software solutions based on blockchain technology. Our team is currently developing a consortium blockchain in collaboration with key industry players who will form the initial node operators / validators operators. The project is based on Go-Ethereum and maintains full EVM compatibility for smart contracts. Rather than Proof-of-Work, it uses a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus mechanism. The core is developed using the GO language. The smart contracts running on your project are developed by our core team using both VYPER and Solidity programming language.

Tourism is an industry that is ripe for change. It is based on contracts and transaction flows which have been built up over many years and requiring reform and transformation. Blockchain is a disruptive technology that can be used to totally reformulate and improve these processes if addressed in a co-ordinated manner. With overwhelming support in the world’s most well-ordered travel market, our customer’s product presents the first real opportunity to demonstrate the transformational potential of blockchain in travel.
