The BIG 'introduce yourself' thread

anirudhreddy.r · March 31, 2026, 5:13am

Hi all,

I’m Anirudh Reddy Rachamalla, a smart contract developer currently working at YieldFi. Most of my days are spent writing contracts for tokenizing Business Development Companies (BDCs) on YieldFi — so RWA tokenization and building DeFi composability around it is where most of my thinking and energy goes right now.

Beyond the day-to-day building, I spend a good amount of time reading and writing about RWA on Twitter, which has naturally led me here — specifically, Securitize’s ERC proposal around a Vault Registrar Interface for Permissioned ERC-20 Vaults.

Looking forward to connecting with folks here.

Hey,

I write code and workout.

Cheers.

Hi everyone! I’m Myuksal. I joined the blockchain space last year. I’m interedted in DEX governance.I’ve been researching the enterprise adoption of various Ethereum standards.

Jere_Souto · April 27, 2026, 7:44pm

Hello everyone! My name is Jeremias, I’m from Argentina, I’m 23 years old, and I’m a computer engineering student. In 2024, I started learning Solidity. I loved the language, especially how easily you could transfer money from one person to another using smart contracts. That’s why I decided to focus on blockchain development. In my free time, I like to think about and develop ideas that use blockchain technology in new ways.

Here’s my X: https://x.com/Jere_Souto

Best regards!

gm, fellow Magicians of the Chain

I’m Damon Zwicker—wandering somewhere between protocol design and arcane obsession.

I’ve been studying a peculiar disturbance in the mempool:

Ethereum can prove that spells (transactions) were executed correctly…
and that the scrolls (data) exist…

…but when asked, “did this exact thing happen?”
the answer often requires summoning indexers, consulting oracles, and trusting a wizard three RPC endpoints away.

Unacceptable.

So I forged a small artifact:

Observation Commitment Protocol (OCP)

A minimal incantation. No fluff. No ceremony.

The spell is as follows:

recompute → compare → confirm inclusion

You take any observation—file, output, event—
compress it into a cryptographic rune (hash),
anchor it into the ledger…

…and now any practitioner, anywhere, can verify it with:

local computation
the public chain

No familiars.
No middleware enchantments.
No “just import this SDK, I promise it’s safe.”

If two wizards dispute reality,
they may now do so deterministically.

I’m currently channeling this into a working artifact called VeraFile—
a way to turn any file into a tamper-evident relic that can defend itself in hostile debate.

If this magic already exists in a purer form, I seek the scroll.
If not, I invite all of you to try and break this one.

I’ll be around the tower—reading, building, and occasionally overfitting simple ideas into protocols.

Hi all, Douglas Borthwick, NYC. Background is traditional finance: ten years at Morgan Stanley, FX prop trading, then crossed into blockchain through the first SEC-registered blockchain IPO. Few books along the way.

These days I work on wallet auth at InsumerAPI: signed booleans over on-chain conditions across 33 chains, ECDSA-signed and JWKS-verifiable. Read → evaluate → sign. The category is condition-based access. Glad to be here.

cmayorga · April 29, 2026, 3:22am

Hi everyone! I’m Carlos Mayorga (@cmayorga), CTO and co-founder of DeFiRe Labs based in Madrid, Spain. Background in Web3 engineering with a focus on DeFi protocol design and smart contract security.

Currently working on:

ERC-8238: Coercion-Resistant Vault — Authoring a smart contract wallet standard that protects against physical coercion (“$5 wrench attacks”).

ERC-8210: Agent Assurance — collaborating on this standard for on-chain agent verification and assurance mechanisms.

SwapWizard.xyz — a DEX aggregator and swap optimization tool we’re building at DeFiRe Labs.

DeFiRe Finance — automated liquidity provisioning protocol, making it easier for LPs to manage positions across concentrated liquidity on top of Uniswap V3 pools while keeping full self-custody.

Always happy to discuss vault security, LP strategy, or anything DeFi. Find me on GitHub or LinkedIn.

BradMyrick · May 4, 2026, 9:15pm

Hey everyone! I’m Brad Myrick, a senior software engineer based in Colombia atm. I build in Rust, Solidity, Go, and a bit of TypeScript when needed, with a background that spans Web3 engineering, distributed systems, and infrastructure-heavy software.

My path into engineering is a little unconventional: I started as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army with Iraq war combat experience, later worked as a commercial diver, and eventually transitioned into software with a BSCS in 2018.

Currently working on:

Divechain — on-chain dive logs . Built from US Navy/Army dive log standards (DD Form 2544, ENG Form 4615). Per-diver smart contracts with full decompression, gas, and environment data.
Avalanche Matchmaking Protocol (AMP) — a Rust/Solidity/Avalanche project focused on matchmaking infrastructure for the Avalanche ecosystem. Awarded an Avalanche Build Games grant.
Seekr — a Rust CLI AI agent manager with multi-provider LLM support.

I spend most of my time building developer tools, blockchain infrastructure, and AI/LLM workflows, usually from the terminal and usually with too many side projects open at once.

Always happy to talk about Rust, Solidity, Avalanche, distributed systems, local AI, or of course diving.
Find me on GitHub or Twitter

Hello, my name is Tim. I’m looking to post a RFC for an EIP i drafted. I hope i am able to be able to post that soon, but it appears i need to have more activity before being able to do so.

What’s the best way to start a thread for a RFC for an EIP? I didn’t find a guide for that after searching through multiple threads.

abcoathup · May 6, 2026, 1:13am

You generally need to read multiple topics before you are able to create a topic.

If you get stuck, you can message me with the EIP and I can bump your permissions.

When creating an EIP, the discussions topic needs to be in the EIPs category and use the template.

RonenTanchum · May 11, 2026, 6:48am

Hi everyone — I’m Ronen Tanchum, an artist and developer working with living systems, machine perception, public space, and generative/digital art. I’m here to learn the standards process more seriously and begin contributing where I can, especially around cultural infrastructure, digital art preservation, provenance, and Ethereum public goods.

I’m currently researching whether NFT-based artworks need a lightweight extension layer for artifact context, preservation intent, version history, exhibition/acquisition records, and stewardship — building on ERC-721 / ERC-1155 rather than replacing them.

Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing carefully before proposing anything formal.

skilesare · May 12, 2026, 1:57am

Hello,

I am Austin and this post is very late. I run ICDevs dot org and do other Tech things. I have been building in a non-eth ecosystem for a number of years. The goal was always to unite the clans but that never really happened…so I’ve taken it into my own hands and will soon be launching a new EVM. It has been an adventure to get the official execution-specs working, but I finally got to 99% with only a few super recursive or super expensive items failing due to the small calculation window my engine runs under as part of its consensus.

I’m pretty sure I wandered into one of the original IRL magician meetings back in Prague in 2018, and boy, do I wish I’d paid better attention.

Basically, I need advice on how bad my ideas are and how to make them better, and I hope in the long term, I can contribute to the ecosystem.

TruthAnchor-AI · May 13, 2026, 5:57am

Hi everyone! I’m Vincent Wu, the founder of TruthAnchor. We’re building a verifiable on-chain proof layer for autonomous AI agents on Ethereum. Our system allows agents to anchor SHA-256 commitments of their actions on-chain, creating tamper-evident audit trails and portable reputation scores.

We recently submitted EIP-8888 (PR #11646) which defines a minimal contract interface for this purpose. The goal is to complement ERC-8004 (agent identity) by adding the accountability layer that identity systems need.

Excited to be part of this community and looking forward to feedback on our proposal!

Hey all!
My name is Drew ('DROO’), and i’m interested in building OSS on Ethereum.
My website is DROO.foo/about – I biuld blockchain infra at xochi and axol!

Hello World,

I’m Joey DiDomenico and I’m looking forward to contributing here. I work in the space of democratizing the world of investments, more specifically creating better access for retail investors to use their IRAs and 401(k)s to buy the things traditionally reserved for only rich people.

Ethereum and Tokenization fascinate me because of the pace and scale of what is currently being built to free people.
