Chaos Chain by Nethermind is the accountability protocol for the on-chain AI economy. Today, AI agents are black boxes. It's impossible to cryptographically verify their actions, which prevents them from being trusted with high-value commercial work. We are solving this.
Our Triple-Verified Stack provides end-to-end cryptographic guarantees for autonomous agent workflows, turning black boxes into transparent, accountable services. We are building the foundational trust layer for the entire autonomous economy, and our live SDK is one of the first to integrate key standards like ERC-8004 and x402.

You will take our proven architecture and prototypes and lead the charge in building, testing, and deploying a production-ready, mainnet protocol. You will work directly with the founder to translate a powerful vision into secure, elegant, and scalable code.
This isn't just a coding job; you will be a co-architect of the trust layer for the future of the internet.
