Senior Golang Developer | Team Lead
The Company
Online Blockchain Technologies (www.Online.io – site is currently down for significant updates) was founded in 2018 and is building upon the success of its parent company, Shifter (www.shifter.io), formerly known as Microleaves, the largest proxy network since 2012 with over 30 million residential IPs all over the world and around 20,000 customers including Fortune 500 companies.
Shifter.io is migrating to the ICE Chain with a complete rebrand to LeftClick.io, together with the launch of the partner network platform and new API. The ICE token will be used by businesses to purchase residential and datacenter proxy access, but also to reward users sharing their IP address inside the network.
ICE Chain is the framework that will interconnect all the Online.io products with its userbase, a 0% transaction fee blockchain, capable of running smart contracts and specially designed to reward users.
Online.io is the first product based on the ICE chain, a cybersecurity and privacy tool kit, offering extensive protection using advanced adblocking, anti-tracking systems, malware protection, and revolutionary VPN access based on residential IPs. The premium VPN service (VPN.io) for corporations is designed to protect classified information and reduce the risks of external attacks.
Online.io is developing the first fully decentralized peer-to-peer networking technology and revolutionizing the browsing experience by making it faster, ad free, more reliable, secure and non-trackable, thus freeing the internet from annoying ads, malware, and trackers.
