Afolabi Ayomide EmmanuelSmart contract engineer

I build on-chain protocols and test them like an attacker. 

I work in Solidity and Cairo. I have shipped a ten-contract identity and lending protocol, payment contracts that ran in production on Base for nine months, and a security watcher live on Mantle. Most of my recent code sits in other people's repositories, reviewed and merged by their maintainers, so you can read all of it.

Open to smart contract, protocol and security roles. Remote or relocation.

What I actually do

I write the contracts that hold the money.

That has meant an escrow that settles a 1v1 match on Celo, a ten-contract identity and lending protocol on Avalanche, a dark pool in Cairo that keeps orders hidden until settlement, and nine months of payment contracts on Base for a product with real users paying real bills.

Before I ship anything I try to break it. That habit came from a year in the Cyfrin Updraft security curriculum and from reviewing other people's code, which is a large part of what I do: 110 pull requests merged into repositories I don't own, mostly Soroban and Solidity work sitting inside other teams' protocols.

Everything on this site links to source you can read or an address you can look up on a block explorer. Nothing here is a screenshot of something I cannot show you.

Gambit

Play classic games, stake USDm

Skill-gaming platform on Celo where players stake stablecoins in 1v1 matches across five classic games. Smart contracts hold the pot in escrow and settle on-chain, with winners taking 95%. Free practice against bots, plus leaderboards and tournaments.

Veraflow

On-chain identity & credit protocol

Identity and lending protocol for underbanked workers, built as ten contracts across identity, credentials, lending, and governance. Work credentials become soulbound NFTs, and an on-chain reputation score unlocks collateral-free lending.

Bicvar

Private dark pool trading on Starknet

Privacy-preserving trading protocol written in Cairo. A commit-reveal scheme built on Poseidon hashing keeps orders confidential until settlement, so large orders don't broadcast their intent to the mempool.

ChainSentinel

Smart contract auditor + live anomaly feed

Security tooling live on Mantle mainnet. It audits smart contracts, streams an on-chain anomaly feed, and records detections to an agent identity contract while alerting over Telegram and Discord.

StellarMind

AI agent marketplace on Stellar

A marketplace where Claude-powered agents buy and sell services from each other, paying over x402 micropayments on Stellar with no human approving each transaction.

03Open source

Code other teams reviewed and merged

The fastest way to judge an engineer is to read code someone else agreed to merge. A lot of mine came through Drips Wave, structured open-source sprints rewarded on-chain. Every number below links straight to the merged pull requests.
