Learn more about these 3 openings on the Komodo Careers page.   A Word From The C-Suite "When we first started Komodo, it was an enhanced fork of the privacy project Zcash. In fact, in the early days, Komodo's first value proposition was 'Protecting Your Privacy With Bitcoin's Hashrate,' but since then we have evolved and challenged the larger issues of blockchain sovereignty and scalability. The Komodo vision is to provide an easy set of tools that developers, startups, and enterprise businesses can all use to launch customized, application-specific blockchains, each of which is protected with the hash rate of the Bitcoin network. Currently, some of the barriers stopping businesses from integrating blockchain technology are the cost of hiring blockchain developers, lack of advanced coding experience, or challenges with forking existing blockchains such as Ethereum or EOS. Blockchain developers are few and far between so we aim to provide business-friendly solutions where anyone can create their own custom and autonomous blockchain, regardless of blockchain development experience. Komodo's real purpose is to provide an adaptable framework for blockchain development, from customizing and launching the chain itself to programming applications and software that run directly on one's own independent chain."    Komodo CTO Kadan Stadelmann Read Kadan's full interview with Decrypt here. Komodo Ecosystem Updates Verus Coin prepares to release a major update with several new features. "The fun begins tomorrow when we expect to start testing a brand new technology that will be imminently released to mainnet, which we call VerusID, or Verus Identity.
