We build the infrastructure
Web3 runs on
Protofire is a senior blockchain engineering team. Since 2016 we have shipped 250+ projects across 60+ networks and 95+ protocols, for Aave, Balancer, MakerDAO, Optimism, and the Ethereum Foundation. Come build the parts that have to work.
Production systems, not demos
You ship, and it goes live where real networks, protocols, and institutions depend on it.
Core protocol & DeFi engineering
Smart contracts, integrations, oracles, and the on-chain logic behind live protocols.
Infrastructure & tooling
Node infrastructure, subgraphs, and developer tooling that whole ecosystems build on.
RWA, stablecoins & credit
The systems bringing real-world assets, payments, and credit on-chain for institutions.
Security & reliability
Audits, monitoring, and managed operations that keep protocols safe at scale.
Principles we hold each other to
We make our own decisions, take calculated risks, and treat failure as something to learn from and share openly.
Nobody has to be pushed. We own outcomes, give and take direct feedback, and hold ourselves accountable.
Everyone shares in the value we create, so we raise the bar and care about the whole company's success.
