Building DevEx
for the open web.

Senior Developer Relations Engineer at Nethermind. 5+ years shipping SDKs, developer tooling, and protocol integrations across EVM and non-EVM chains. I close the gap between complex protocols and the developers building on top of them.

Notes from

Your Sealed-Bid Auction Is Not Sealed.

A sealed-bid auction on the EVM is not actually sealed: you fake it with commit/reveal, a deposit, and a forfeiture rule. I built the same auction in Solidity (239 lines) and in Daml on Canton (561 lines) to show what code disappears when the ledger keeps the secret itself, and where the cost moves instead.
