Responsibilities

📍Solidity Smart Contracts: Write Rome’s core Solidity smart contracts for state commitments, DA, settlement, bridging, etc. 📍State Commitments: Post Rome’s state commitments such as Merkle roots to the base layer (Ethereum) blockchain to ensure robust transaction ordering. 📍Data publication: Post Rome’s transaction batches and blocks to Ethereum and other DA Layers such as Celestia. 📍L1 <> L2 Integration: Integrate base layer (Ethereum) withdrawals and deposits to allow bridging assets to Rome rollups, and prevent double-spending. 📍State Synchronization: Ensure rollup state is synchronized between Solana and the rollup node. Develop code to address blockchain reorgs on Ethereum and Solana. 📍Integrate Proofs & Settlement: Generate proofs including fraud and ZK, and post these proofs to Rome’s smart contracts. 📍Ethereum Rollup Proficiency: Become proficient in Ethereum Rollup technologies including Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and zkSync, preparing for tasks such as deployment, operation, debugging, and improvements. 📍Zero Knowledge VM Expertise: Develop an understanding of Zero Knowledge VM and tackle the complexities of working with ZK-EVM stacks and integrating them with sequencers under various proving standards. 📍Rome RaaS: Develop Rome’s Rollup-as-a-service by integrating various Ethereum clients such as Arbitrum Orbit, Polygon zkEVM, etc. Innovation in Rollups: Drive innovation within Rollup ecosystems by developing and implementing new features like Decentralized Sequencing, peer-to-peer messaging, and minimized trust off-chain computation. 📍Network Security Enhancement: Improve network security and robustness by identifying potential vulnerabilities, setting up reproducible test environments, and developing strategic solutions.

Requirements
