"About us\n<p>At Ignite (formerly Tendermint), we empower people to engage with blockchain technology and create a fairer, more transparent world. Through easy-to-use applications and tools, including Starport and Emeris, we make it accessible to everyone to join in the creation of the decentralized web. Together, we&rsquo;re igniting change, accelerating the growth of innovative ideas, and democratizing financial opportunities.</p>\n<p>As the creators of Cosmos (ATOM), Ignite has played an integral role in building the Internet of Blockchains, the world&rsquo;s largest interoperable blockchain ecosystem that secures billions of dollars in digital assets. We&rsquo;re proud of our past and excited by the future and the many more lives we can touch with this transformative technology.</p>\nHow we work\n<p>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. Ignite is remote-first, and to support your working life, we offer carefully considered benefits and hold regular team and company-wide meetings, watercooler sessions, and twice-yearly in person off-sites, to encourage collaboration and interaction between teams.</p>\n<p>You have the flexibility to work the hours best suited to your lifestyle; as long as you deliver consistent quality work, the sky&rsquo;s the limit!
