What we do

Violet's mission is to evolve trust in Web3. We are building on-chain compliance and identity management infrastructure.

Violet is a primitive applicable to many use cases, however we are most excited about catalyzing institutional participation across DeFi in the near term. We believe this is key for the industry to expand and become more robust.

Specifically we are initially building an institutional compliance infrastructure product with strong privacy guarantees. We intend this infrastructure to be utilized by DeFi builders as they start engaging institutional liquidity and wish to grow regulatory trust in their platforms.

Infrastructure at Violet is especially challenging given that we are building at the intersection of web2 and web3 - so that makes it the key pillar of all of our engineering efforts, which is why we are looking for a senior infrastructure / backend engineer to help us advance towards our vision of a user owned identity network.

Violet is backed by top crypto investors and traditional investors alike, including BlueYard and founders / senior leadership at Ethereum, Filecoin, Anchorage, Coinbase, Wise, Uniswap, Argent, and many more.
