About the team

Pantos is a research and development hub inside Bitpanda focusing on Web3 applications, first and foremost the Pantos multichain protocol and the ecosystem around it. Being able to work mostly independently from Bitpanda, the nimble Pantos team can move fast and bring new and more cutting-edge technologies to life quickly.

The Pantos multichain protocol is a project conceived by Bitpanda and our partner universities TU Vienna & TU Hamburg. Its goal is to develop a decentralized multichain token system that connects multiple blockchain networks. It allows users to create native multichain tokens, transfer them across blockchains and build chain-agnostic applications on top.
The Pantos team is building core infrastructure and dApps as well as developing & fostering growth for the ecosystem.

As a Blockchain Engineer at Bitpanda, you will be part of the Pantos team.
