Functionland careers

Functionland is building open source software that provides easy-to-use APIs for front-end developers to build applications without having to deal with backend code

“box-server” is the open-source back-end that is used to store the data, synchronize data between boxes and re-encrypt and share the files with others.

Simple hardware with all the requirements pre-installed.

A plug-and-play node that can be used as an application server.

- uses an open-source package allowing anyone to use it freely and contribute
- does not require any technical setup
- can be accessed over the internet using libp2p without any domain or static IP.
- can serve both files and data (database)
- encrypts and protects user’s data
- modular, meaning hardware modules(towers) can be added as needed. For example, a hardware module(tower) for mining crypto, and one for additional storage can be added to the base.


Functionland's box provides a javascript library to be imported in the react native application, and enables the application to directly connect to the user's box using libp2p.

“Graph” is the open-source library that allows front-end developers to interface with the “box”, using a familiar package.

The code for all these are packaged in the “box” monorepo:
github.com/functionland/box

Although “box” is the hardware designed to give a pre-setup option to non-tech-savvy people, anyone can install box’s server software ( a package of IPFS+IPLD+proxy re-encryption back end) on any computer, even a raspberry pi, and turn it into a “box”.
