About n1stake
n1stake is a crypto infrastructure team working with validators, blockchain networks, foundations, and emerging protocols.
About the role
We are looking for a crypto-native person to represent n1stake and build relationships across the blockchain ecosystem.
This is relationship-led business development, not traditional sales. There are no aggressive sales quotas and no deals to close. Your focus will be finding the right people, starting conversations, applying to relevant programs, and patiently building long-term relationships.
Responsibilities:
- Find and contact protocols, foundations, ecosystem teams, and network representatives
- Grow delegated stake on blockchain networks
- Find and apply to grants and RFPs
- Track and apply to foundation delegation programs
- Identify early validator, genesis, and pre-mainnet opportunities
- Build and maintain a clean pipeline of ecosystem contacts
- Write personalised emails and direct messages
- Follow up with contacts and manage ongoing conversations
- Monitor relevant Discord communities and ecosystem announcements
- Update the relationship pipeline in Notion
You will not be responsible for:
- Infrastructure, nodes, or monitoring
- Executing won grants
- Pricing, commissions, or financial decisions
- Signing agreements on behalf of n1stake
Requirements:
- Active involvement in crypto, Web3, testnets, Discord communities, or crypto content
- Experience in business development, partnerships, community, grants, or ecosystem work
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Ability to write clear and personalised cold outreach
- Comfortable working independently without daily supervision
- Patient and emotionally resilient when receiving rejection
- Willingness to learn about validators, staking, delegation, and blockchain infrastructure
- Comfortable working with Notion and online communication tools
- Availability for part-time remote work
- Willingness to work using a company-provided corporate email
What we offer:
• $500 USDT/USDC monthly base
• Performance bonuses connected to grants, new stake, delegation programs, genesis positions, and token allocations
• Flexible part-time remote work
• Hands-on experience inside a small crypto infrastructure team
• Direct access to protocol and foundation teams
• Training on the technical side of validators and staking
• Opportunity to build a strong crypto network and portfolio of measurable results
First-month expectations
- Identify at least 15 relevant contacts with direct communication channels
- Send at least 25 personalised emails or messages
- Submit at least 2 relevant applications
- Start at least 2 live conversations about staking or delegation
The first month is focused on activity and quality of outreach, not financial results.
The ideal candidate enjoys finding the right person, writing thoughtful messages, following up patiently, and building trust over time.
To apply, please answer the screening questions carefully. The cold outreach exercise is an important part of the selection process.
