All in Bits (AiB) aims to create a more transparent and accountable world through open-source software that enables permissionless innovation and borderless transactions. Our technology empowers builders to launch sovereign blockchains and decentralized applications (dApps) that are secure, scalable, and interoperable.

AiB is a longstanding contributor to the Cosmos ecosystem. In 2014, our CEO, Jae Kwon, was the first to introduce a solution to the Proof-of-Stake distributed consensus problem, building the core infrastructure that powers Cosmos today including Tendermint Core and Cosmos SDK. From creating and funding to engineering and marketing, we prioritize simplistic and minimalistic approaches to building technological solutions that endure.

AiB is committed to upholding core Cosmos values of transparency, accountability, and decentralization. That’s why we support the creation of the Decentralists DAO for the Cosmos Hub to move all operations on-chain, starting with engineering. By establishing the DAO registered team, we aim to advance core components of the Cosmos tech stack and encourage open dialogue, decision-making, and innovation.

We focus on talent rather than location to hire the very best person for every role. Open communication is vital, and we use the best tools to collaborate efficiently. Everyone has the autonomy to create their best work, which we reward with unlimited growth potential.
