Hello, Codeforces! We are Ethflow — proprietary trading fund, specializing in cryptocurrency trading. We are glad to host our first Codeforces round!

All participants will have a chance to win T-shirts (top 50 + 50 random participants who ranked below 50th place and solved at least 3 problems).

Many of our team members, such as VEGAnn, _Time_Lord_, welleyth, FLEA, vgzowski and others, are former Codeforces participants, including our CEO, altruist and CTO, SoMuchDrama. Now, some of them were involved in four different roles over time: first as participants, then as teachers and problem setters, and now as sponsors. Currently, our team includes 7 IOI medalists, 1 IMO medalist, as well as ICPC Finals participants from both the previous and current years.

Ethflow is not just yet another HFT company. The core of our culture is putting people first, we create an environment and atmosphere where you can choose the problem you enjoy and excel at, with the freedom to explore everything from infrastructure to analytics problems. We do not tolerate toxic work culture or 60h per week mandatory working. We do believe in a decentralized finance future and work with cutting edge blockchain technology. Fortunately for the participants, we didn’t create the problems ourselves this time (maybe next time)

WARNING! If you want to work with us – please don’t. We want you to focus on real world problems, creating economic value and something useful for society, as all people know proprietary trading is not such a thing (you can ask your friends from big tech companies, they will say so). In the AI era with AGI on the horizon by 2030, there will be more awesome applications and areas where you can bring something valuable and apply your mind. There is no way back.

If nothing from above helped, please welcome — link to the form.
