title: Cross-Chain Value Transfer & Tokenization
bullets:
- "Implemented full EVM compatibility alongside CosmWasm smart contracts, supporting multi-chain token mappings and cross-chain value transfer over IBC."
- "Engineered a “Gasless Onboarding” pipeline with custom Cosmos AnteHandlers validating WebAuthn passkeys at the mempool level — an API surface hiding seed phrases and fees behind familiar Web2 flows."
- source: token-economics
title: Token Economics & Payment Design
dates: 2022 - 2023
bullets:
- "Architected the network token model with 6 PhD economists (Prysm Group) — allocation, supply schedules, velocity, and staking emissions — benchmarked against Uniswap, Compound, and Algorand."
- "Structured the token as the means of payment across protocol modules and designed DPoS validator incentives aligning network security with cross-chain payments over IBC."
