Writing: DeFi
Engineering notes on liquidity, trading mechanisms, token standards, stablecoins, and DeFi risks.
Why I'm Bullish on 2026

How solver networks and ERC-7683 support intent-based transactions across EVM chains, Solana, and Cosmos.
Stablecoin Summer
Why the GENIUS Act and Treasury-backed reserves matter as stablecoins become infrastructure for payments and settlement.
Agentic Finance
How AP2, x402, and agentic commerce protocols could let AI agents authorize payments and settle transactions with stablecoins.

How shared token, liquidity, governance, and DeFi standards accelerate new products while introducing systemic risk.
EVM Token Standards Overview
What ERC-20, ERC-1155, ERC-6909, and ERC-7281 each define, where each one fits, and how they compare on batching, approvals, and gas.

How automated market makers price trades from liquidity pools, what liquidity providers earn and risk, and yield farming strategies on Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and zkSync.
Trading Engines - Order Books & AMMs
How order books and AMMs match trades, which projects run each model and hybrids of both, and when I would pick one over the other.
How USDT0 Improves Stablecoin Bridging
How USDT0 and LayerZero's OFT standard move USDT across chains without wrapping, with unified liquidity and a smaller bridge attack surface.
