Solidity developer on Ethereum projects, in crypto since 2020
A smart contract does not forgive mistakes: once it is deployed, the code is the law. Writing Solidity for Ethereum projects taught me that, and it is the lens I bring to every story. Building and investing in crypto since 2020, I cover blockchain technology, Ethereum and DeFi here: network upgrades, new protocols, layer 2s, and the exploits that drain them. When a protocol makes headlines, I open the code before the press release. Then I put it into plain words, so you know how it works and where it could break before you put money in.
