Good, fast, and cheap outcomes are perfectly achievable through disciplined execution. - Professional Integrity. We never speak negatively about competitors, partners, vendors, or others. Such behavior reflects insecurity and provides no value. - Creative Problem-Solving. We value innovative thinking that challenges conventions. The best solution aligns with the task at hand, not necessarily with how things have always been done. - Team Over Ego. We share both successes and failures collectively. No individual's ego should surpass our commitment to the product and its impact. - Results Over Hierarchy. We do not care about titles in this company. No politics, no hierarchy. All we care about is winning together. If you’re excited to help businesses access modern money rails and believe that stablecoins will democratize finance, we’d love to talk. Reach out to us
