Job Description
### Who We Are and What We Are Doing
Ethena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking digital dollar products aimed at upgrading money into the internet era. Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, utilizing a delta-neutral hedged basis strategy to maintain its peg. This product scaled from zero to $15 billion in just 18 months. Expanding on this, iUSDe is designed specifically for traditional financial institutions, incorporating necessary compliance features to enable them to access the crypto-native rewards our protocol generates in an institutional-friendly manner. Ethena has also developed USDtb: a fiat-backed GENIUS compliant stablecoin in partnership with BlackRock, which has scaled to approximately $2 billion.
Through these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building the foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.
