Reddit admin u/jarins, in a post Wednesday, stated that the social media platform provider is stepping up its blockchain initiative and providing additional initiatives and requisite resources to scale up Ethereum blockchain’s capability.
The official collaboration has come at a time when Reddit and Ethereum Foundation together conducted Scaling Bake-Off challenge last summer in which several groups participated to provide the best Ethereum scaling solutions to assist Reddit back its Community Points aspects.
Reddit’s Community Points program was structured specifically for Ethereum. Reddit users are awarded points by the program for notable comments or most read posts. The venture was Reddit’s foremost initiative to use blockchain technology on its platform.
Reddit’s recently formed cryptocurrency team will set aside a portion of its human resources and other tools to assist Ethereum Foundation in resolving the scaling issue faced by Ethereum blockchain.
The Reddit crypto group is presently roping in backend engineers. Admin u/jarin has suggested coders interested in partaking in the development of a decentralized internet to either straightaway apply on the Reddit careers webpage or even send a personal message to convey their interest.
