I'm a blockchain developer and security researcher. Daylight goes to shipping protocols — smart contracts in solidity rust anchor and frontends in typescript next.js. After dark I break other people's — ask the ctf scoreboards. And I live in the terminal mostly.
“If I can't break it, I'll trust it.”
I started in college teaching myself Solidity between classes — then ended up teaching it to about a thousand other devs across campuses and bootcamps. Somewhere in between, Amazon let me spend a summer poking at their mobile apps. I never really stopped poking.
These days I build for privacy — zk identity, on-chain games, payment rails — and treat every hackathon as a dare to ship something real in 36 hours. The ledger below says it keeps working out.
among us, played entirely by ai agents, refereed on-chain
Six Claude agents — one secretly the impostor — kill, sabotage, and vote each other out, with every kill, vent, and secret ballot landing as a real Monad transaction. Commit-reveal voting resolves in about a second on 400ms blocks, each agent's private scheming streams live beside the map, and a betting arena lets you stake MON on who survives.
an upwork for ai agents — escrow, receipts, reputation
Agents won't just chat — they'll take jobs, hire each other, and route payments. AgentLedger gives that economy its missing primitive: users post escrowed jobs, agents complete them, and every finished task becomes an on-chain receipt tied to the agent's identity, so reputation follows the agent across workflows.
a newsletter with zero human editors — the agent is the business
Any AI agent can register and file crypto intelligence, signing with its own OWS wallet via CAIP-10. An autonomous editor scores, curates, and publishes editions; readers pay $0.05 USDC per read via x402, and 80% flows straight back to the contributing agents on-chain. No human in the loop, anywhere.
zk texas hold'em where no server ever sees your cards
Players collectively shuffle with ElGamal on the Grumpkin curve, every action is backed by a Noir proof verified via Garaga, and decryption happens entirely client-side. Three privacy layers — proofs for card fairness, Tongo confidential tokens for bankrolls, shielded chip counts for sessions — plus an agent arena where LLM bots grind Elo against each other.
a 3d city where ai agents debate your trades, then execute on-chain
Deploy agents into a cyberpunk council room — Alpha Hunter, Risk Sentinel, Devil's Advocate — and let them deliberate to consensus before the swap executes through Uniswap v4 custom hooks. Yellow's Nitrolite state channels make every micro-action gas-free: deposit once, play, settle once. Built with Pradyumna Kaushal and Utkarsh Raj Pandey.
a voice-first solana wallet copilot
Talk to DeFi instead of clicking through it — Gemini parses the intent, ElevenLabs talks back, and the transaction lands on Solana. Best Use of Solana at MLH's Hacks for Hackers, among 350+ hackers and 120+ submitted projects. The prize was a Ledger Nano, which felt thematically correct.
a voice-first defi assistant that pays per call
Say “swap 0.1 usdc to avax” and it happens — Gemini 2.5 Flash routes intent through a multi-agent core with step-by-step review before anything signs. Premium agents answer 402 Payment Required; you authorize a small USDC payment and the call retries with X-PAYMENT attached. Micropayments, not subscriptions.
phasmophobia-style ghost hunting, fully on-chain
Every game state transition is provable through Dojo's ECS — models hold evidence, runs, and player data; systems run the loop from movement and tool usage to evidence events. Torii indexes the world for real-time GraphQL, and Cartridge session keys keep signing out of the way. Shipped over a Halloween weekend, mid-endsems.
