🌐 About DefiRilla

DefiRilla is a novel decentralized finance monitoring platform built for every DeFi participant.

Paste your wallet address and DefiRilla monitors all your wallet's DeFi positions 24/7.

This helps our paying users maximize yield and minimize risk across all DeFi protocols and all EVM blockchains.

There's nothing like it.

We’re a fast-moving development startup just out of stealth and preparing to scale for rapid adoption.

Our founder https://wellfound.com/u/andrew-hine-2 previously built and led Reputationaire over 7 years with a team of 100+ interns and contributors, gaining deep experience in mentorship, community growth, decentralized identity, and startup traction — and now is bringing that same energy and operational excellence to DeFi.

🎯 Who We’re Looking For

We want passionate, self-driven interns who are:

• Obsessed with DeFi, financial sovereignty, and giving users control over their own finances

• Eager to build audience awareness, community engagement, and strategic partnerships

• Comfortable working in a lean startup environment

• Long-term thinkers — realising mass DeFi adoption will take time, but will happen

• Ready to learn and take initiative in marketing, business development, growth strategy, partnerships, content & community

This is not a typical internship — your contributions will directly shape DefiRilla’s go-to-market and partner ecosystem.

📌 What You’ll Do

In the early phase (unpaid but highly incentivized with hands on mentorship, revenue share, reference provided upon successful completion or long term opportunity to become cofounder and equity holder):

• Craft and execute DeFi-centric marketing campaigns and educational content

• Drive community growth (Discord, Twitter/X, Telegram, Reddit, etc.)

• Research and secure BD opportunities with projects, influencers, protocols

• Help refine DefiRilla’s messaging, product positioning, and pitch decks

• Track key growth KPIs and help iterate strategies rapidly

💡 Compensation & Long-Term Upside

• Initially unpaid — you invest time, we invest mentorship and experience

• Revenue sharing: You’ll earn a cut of marketing and BD-sourced deals or subscriptions you bring in single handedly

• Founder track: Top performers can evolve into strategic paid roles, vested equity holders or co-founders over time

📈 Why This Matters – DeFi’s Growth Context

Decentralized finance is rapidly expanding out of its early adopter phase and into mainstream usage:

• Global DeFi market revenue is projected to reach tens of billions of USD per year by the late-2020s as DeFi applications mature and capture more users and financial flows.

• Projections suggest the industry could hit >$230 billion in market size by 2030, reflecting multi-year compounding growth and adoption.

• DeFi user adoption continues to scale, with estimates in the hundreds of millions of active users expected within the next few years — and significant upside if even a tiny fraction convert to our paid DeFi services.

💡 Scenario: If DefiRilla captures just 0.001 % of a projected ~200 million DeFi users worldwide by 2030 on the current launch discounted $50/month subscription, that equates to roughly 2,000 paying users, generating around $1.2 million annually in recurring revenue (ARR).

📬 How to Apply:

1) Short intro about yourself + why DeFi excites you

2) Relevant work or projects (links, portfolios welcome)

3) What you’d focus on in your first 30 days at DefiRilla
