Why work at WAX?

Simple. Instant. Secure. Global.

WAX is the safest and most convenient way to create, buy, sell, and trade virtual items - to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Participants of the Worldwide Asset eXchange gain access to a global community of collectors and traders, buyers and sellers, creators and gamers, merchants and game developers.

Find a buyer for your rare collectible sneakers who lives half a world away. We're building the tools to create the future of digital ownership and trading, and putting them in your hands. Come build it with us. What will you do with WAX?
