TVL: $2,178,650,365  |  Total Transactions: 2,254,490 |  Deployed Smart Contracts: 67 |  Hack Losses: $0.00

I spent years securing DeFi protocols writing Solidity. I deployed contracts that held billions with zero losses to hacks. In the process, I realized the biggest threat to crypto holders is not smart contract exploits. It's spearphishing, malware, physical coercion and social engineering. I'm building Kleidi to stop these attacks.
