A strategic coding workbench for directing bounded, workflow-backed agent work

• guillotine : contributed to a Zig EVM, including a Zig devtool and BubbleTea CLI for call disassembly and step-by-step tracing, Go/C/WASM/TypeScript SDK bindings, EVM semantics fixes, and research-heavy work on hardfork support, gas accounting, and execution spec fixtures.
• guillotine-mini : contributed WASI/WASM build and bindings, and research-heavy EVM tracing/debugging work around WASM constraints, threading, debugger architecture, and dispatch-level execution hooks.
• @tevm/test-matchers : shipped a Javascript library that extends Vitest with EVM-related test matchers.

• Gasless server : shipped a MUD -compatible gasless server library for EVM chains.
• Primodium Empires : contributed client UI/game tooling, cheatcodes, transaction feedback, keeper/deployment infrastructure, and contract test/audit-prep work, while owning the artist handoff loop for integrating art and animations into the game.
• Reactive Tables : shipped a state management library for onchain games built on MUD for Typescript & React.
• Primodium v0.11 : took ownership of the sync/indexer and database stack, and shipped client/core rendering work, game-object interaction fixes, reactive-table integration, package/build fixes, and browser profiling-driven performance optimizations.
• Open-source release: owned the public release pass for the work above, including documentation for each package and shipping the open-sourced libraries and containers.

A TypeScript library for tracing and visualizing EVM state changes with detailed human-readable labeling

• @polareth/evmstate traces all state changes after a transaction execution in a local VM, or by watching transactions in incoming blocks.
• It retrieves and labels storage slots with semantic insights and provides a detailed diff of all changes. Built with Tevm and Whatsabi .

A public archive of onchain scam investigations

• Nightwatch catalogs research from onchain sleuths on Twitter & Telegram, as a public archive and convenient research tool.
• Built with Remix , Neon , and Deno .

A browser interface to simulate and visualize EVM activity

• savvy exposes an interface to fork a chain and tweak its network conditions, to simulate complex onchain interactions and visualize results & gas usage, both on L1 and L2 EVM chains.
• Built with Tevm , Whatsabi , and Next.js .

Various research projects on EVM gas usage and tooling

• airdrop gas benchmarks : a series of tests to benchmark gas usage across ERC20/721/1155 patterns with batched, merkle, and claim style drops, picked from popular airdrop contracts — comes with an interactive dashboard to analyze costs based on airdrop parameters.
• gas metering comparison : cross-validated gas reports from popular tooling against live executions with Foundry , Hardhat , and Tevm on identical calldata sets, and documented discrepancies.

Various research projects on EVM security and tooling

• Glider : joined Secureum workshop sessions to battle-test Glider on live exploit scenarios, and submitted documentation fixes and clarified flows for security researchers.
• storage collision : a reference research for verifying smart contract assumptions using fuzzing & formal verification tools (here exhibiting storage collision ) with Foundry , Halmos , and Certora .
• ERC1155A : a reference fuzzing test suite on a token extension to verify assumptions and surface edge cases.

Various projects with Three.js/React Three Fiber and 3D spatial audio engines

• echoes : a contemplative yet interactive onchain collectible, made of particles, as part of an immersive audiovisual experience.
• poligraph : a 3D graph to help visualize political relationships in the French Assemblée Nationale.
• metaverse : a virtual world on the browser with interactive 3D audio sources — built while alpha-testing Atmoky spatial audio engine and as part of a research paper on immersive audio in virtual worlds.
• esthesis : a multi-platform 3D visualizer for music NFTs.

(Just another attempt at a) decentralized automated crowdfunding platform, with automated and flexible recurring payments

• An interface between founders and contributors, where the latter can plan their contributions over a specified period, give out their funds to a secured contract, let the payments be sent automatically, and still pull back if they don't feel confident anymore at some point.
• Built during Chainlink Fall 2023 hackathon.

Tested Chainlink Functions across alpha and beta releases with public examples
