WHAT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR APPLICATION

Please include:

• Links to apps, repos, or samples demonstrating your Android/Compose expertise.
• Or a code sample showcasing your engineering approach. Please also include at least one of:
• What you want to make more human-first in the world or in crypto.
• Something you trained extremely hard for.
• A story about delivering an impactful end-to-end mobile feature.
• Status, Money, Learning: Pick 2. (This helps us understand what drives you.) Alien's mission is to solve the online trust problem.

Alien tackles the issue of online identity uniqueness through a user-owned economic and governance ecosystem. The ecosystem is built as an open protocol meant to be owned by all people equally and designed to be a public good: non-excludable (open to all unique humans without restrictions) and non-rivalrous (one person's use doesn't diminish another's ability to use it). It operates on credible neutrality principles.

Through its unique technology and foundational decisions, Alien aims to provide everyone in the world access to the growing digital and global economy in a privacy-preserving and decentralized way. At the heart of this ecosystem, every individual is a verified real person, maintaining absolute control over their digital assets and personal data. All humans are equal in the protocol: one human can have only one Alien ID, run only one consensus node, have only one vote, and receive an identical amount of Aliencoin from the protocol.
