Featured Projects

Zero-Knowledge: Proof of Solvency

Protocol

Proof-of-solvency protocol: a custodian proves liabilities coverage and honest per-user inclusion without exposing account data using a Noir circuit over a Merkle Sum Tree.

Noir · Merkle Sum Trees · Poseidon · Barretenberg · Solidity · Foundry

Intent-Based Batch Auction Exchange

Smart Contracts

An on-chain spot-trading exchange where users submit signed EIP-712 trade intents during fixed epochs, settled atomically at a uniform clearing price via independent solvers.

Solidity · Foundry · OpenZeppelin · Slither · CI Workflows

ZK Undercollateralized Lending Protocol

Protocol Smart Contracts

Undercollateralised lending (50% collateral): a Noir circuit proves credit score and income exceed thresholds without revealing them, verified via Barretenberg verifier.

Noir · Barretenberg · Solidity · Foundry · Next.js

ZKVote DApp

Protocol Smart Contracts

Commit-nullifier voting DApp: Circom circuit binds a Poseidon commitment to the vote and derives a per-proposal nullifier with Groth16 proof verification.

Provably Fair Raffle

Smart Contracts

Autonomous on-chain raffle with no admin intervention utilizing Chainlink VRF v2.5 for winner selection and Chainlink Automation for upkeep.

Solidity · Foundry · Chainlink VRF · Chainlink Automation

StreamProof

Protocol

A platform which commits streaming data for a track as a merkle root and artist claims payout tiers based on stream counts verified via a zero-knowledge circuit.

Hackathons

ETHOnline 2026

Built StreamProof, a private royalty-tier verification protocol: a Noir circuit verified on-chain via UltraHonk on Arc Testnet.

Result: Participation Award

Frostbyte Hackathon

Qualified with the Employee Payroll Manager (Chainlink Automation), then advanced to the finale with the ZK lending protocol.

Result: Finalist / Participation Award
