About The Dollar Foundation

The Dollar Foundation is the non‑profit steward of the Bitcoin Dollar — a DeFi yield platform built on BTCD, a collateralized token holding 50/50 BTC/USD exposure. BTCD itself isn’t the product; it’s the foundation. Staking BTCD mints sBTCD, a yield‑bearing token that captures returns from the full underlying portfolio — productive BTC (ybBTC), productive dollars (sUSDS, sUSDe, etc.), and the portfolio’s volatility‑monetization engine.

Using sBTCD as collateral, the platform builds isolated, structured products on top:

• USD Vault — borrows BTC against sBTCD for 12–19% APY in dollar terms, with zero BTC price risk to the depositor.
• BTC Vault — borrows USD against sBTCD for 6–14% APY denominated in BTC, preserving full Bitcoin exposure.

Depositors simply choose USDC or wBTC; the vaults handle leverage, rebalancing, and risk.

We are hiring a founding CEO to own capital formation, TVL growth, and the FISC token economy. This is not a foundation steward role and not a Trad Fi executive seat. It is a hands‑on, commercial, crypto‑native operating role for someone who has personally scaled a DeFi protocol, knows tokenomics as a craft, has credibility with curators, funds and risk firms and can champion a vision for the ecosystem online and onstage.

• Own TVL growth across token demand, staking, and vault deposits — and set, track, and report the growth and financial metrics that govern it.
• Lead capital formation end‑to‑end — raise the Series A from crypto‑native investors and secure the seed liquidity and incentive capital needed to bootstrap and retain TVL.
• Own the FISC token economy and capital‑markets strategy — tokenomics, emissions, points and incentive programs, liquidity mining, and bribe‑market deployment.
• Convert and deepen the curator and risk pipeline — turn warm relationships into live, endorsed integrations. Curator trust is the protocol’s #1 conversion unlock.
• Build the capital stack beyond the raise — crypto hedge funds, LPs, and ecosystem partners now; institutional and Trad Fi allocators as the platform matures.
• Be the public face of Bitcoin Dollar and FISC — conferences, podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and forums — carrying a credible, transparent narrative.
• Drive the trust‑infrastructure agenda — real‑time Proof of Reserves, De Fi Llama  and aggregator listings, public risk assessments, and curator endorsements — and forge integrations (Pendle, Morpho, Aave, cross‑chain) that extend sBTCD composability and distribution.
• Lead a small, senior team — hire selectively, set the operating cadence, manage runway and burn, and steward the long‑term roadmap toward the multi‑asset "Dollar" family, FISC seasons, and DAO governance.

• Personally drove measurable TVL or AUM growth at a DeFi protocol with specific, defensible numbers.
• Deep crypto‑capital‑markets fluency — tokenomics and incentive design, lending markets, vaults, leverage, PT/YT and bribe markets, liquidity provisioning, and on‑chain analytics.
• Credible, existing curator and risk‑firm relationships, with a proven ability to convert skeptics into live integrations.
• Demonstrated fundraising — you’ve raised from crypto VCs and/or allocated as an investor, and can run a Series A.
• A strong public presence — comfortable as the named face of a protocol on stage, on podcasts, and on X — able to explain novel yield and rebalancing mechanics to a sophisticated, skeptical audience.
• A player‑coach who thrives hands‑on in a sub‑20‑person senior team and builds the playbook rather than managing a large org.
• High integrity and conviction, genuine comfort with token‑weighted comp and early‑stage ambiguity, and sound regulatory awareness as the public executive of a Cayman non‑profit foundation and token issuer.

• Direct working relationships with curators like Re7, Block Analitica, Gauntlet, Steakhouse, or Veda.
• Prior founder or CEO experience at a DeFi protocol.
• Stablecoin, yield, or RWA protocol depth.
• Network into Pendle, Morpho, Aave, or Sky ecosystems.
