About the job

firefly is a DEX with ‘CEX-like features’ such as limit orders to buy at pre-defined prices and take-profit sell orders to exit a position when a certain profit’s been reached.
firefly was one of the few projects (out of 175 on chain) to be admitted to Manta's coveted Zk Accelerator for promising, high-potential decentralized applications.
