Allium Makes Blockchain Data Accurate, Simple and Fast

Allium tames the chaos by ingesting, sanitizing, and standardizing all this data. As of this post, the data we've archived across 100+ blockchains is in the petabytes and growing exponentially.

This is one of the rare times in history where indexing a giant public dataset is sorely needed by all - similar to what Bloomberg did for financial data and what Google organized for public webpage data. With this indexed data, we are fortunate to support trailblazers in this industry and play some role in the industry's most exciting trends :

We serve 2 groups of customers today with the same data but different platforms. Analysts who need to answer data questions about the blockchain (think BI) and Engineers who need highly reliable data queryable in near realtime (think Application backends). Our customers include the biggest institutions Visa, Stripe, Grayscale and also the biggest crypto companies such as Phantom, Uniswap. Allium is one of the unique companies in the industry that bridge blockchain and non blockchain worlds.

We are looking for people who will work closely with the leadership team to scale business operations as Allium grows, including finance, investor relations, GTM, vendor management, and more!

Ok.. Now for Some Tough Love, Here Are the Values We Strive For at Allium :

Pro Athlete Mindset - Consistency. Day in and day out, in pursuit of excellence. A win yesterday does not guarantee (or even imply!) a win tomorrow. I hope anyone who supports a failing sports team will feel the pain (cough Man United fan s) of inconsistency

Figure It Out & Extreme Ownership - Every day is unexplored territory. There are new engineering frameworks, new legal docs, new compliance, new sales, new regulations, and new operational procedures every single day. If you don't know it, learn it. If you can't learn it, find someone or a product that does it. If you can't find someone, find someone who can find someone. It is never lack of resources, but lack of resourcefulness.

High Agency - (One of) the highest commonality between all successful people is their responsiveness, most successful billionaire CEOs still reply to emails within minutes (within working hours). And when you reply, respond fast with effective solutions - and even better, resolutions. If you're looking for a superpower, you can't go wrong with responsiveness. Well of course this doesn't make sense when you're an engineer coding in flow, but in
