What I've Built

Reactive Governance

Complete

Selective Snapshotting for DAO Voting

A research-backed governance framework that optimizes on-chain voting by eliminating transfer overhead through a selective snapshotting mechanism. Reduces gas costs by up to 40% compared to standard ERC20Votes.

  • ✦Eliminates transfer overhead in governance tokens
  • ✦Formal security analysis against Flash Loan attacks
  • ✦Benchmark-proven ~17,715 gas marginal cost per snapshot

Chronos Vault

In Progress

Crypto Dead Man's Switch

An open-source decentralized inheritance protocol built on the EVM. Deposit crypto, set an inactivity timeout, and ping the contract periodically to prove you are alive. If you ever stop pinging past the threshold, your beneficiary can sweep the vault. No lawyers. No intermediaries. No trust required.

  • ✦Decentralized inheritance protocol with heartbeat mechanism
  • ✦Trustless architecture relying solely on EVM timestamps
  • ✦Beneficiary sweep functionality upon inactivity threshold breach

Xandeum Network Explorer

Complete

Real-time pNode-Scope Analytics

A real-time, decentralized analytics dashboard for the Xandeum Storage Network. Instead of pinging a single seed node, it features a Python-powered Recursive Crawler Engine to discover peers and gather distinct CPU/RAM stats across the entire network topology.

  • ✦Python-powered Recursive Crawler Engine for peer discovery via get-pods
  • ✦Geospatial Intelligence resolving pNode IPs to physical globe locations
  • ✦Live 'Hacker' Terminal visualizing gossip protocol and fault-tolerant fallback engine
