Projects

Persistence Wallet:

Developed a secure, user-centric web-based crypto wallet tailored for the Persistence One ecosystem. The wallet enables users to safely store, stake, and transfer XPRT tokens with a seamless UI/UX experience. Integrated Ledger hardware wallet support and ensured full compatibility with Cosmos-native wallets such as Keplr and Leap, contributing to broader ecosystem accessibility and trust.

Persistence App:

Contributed to the development of Persistence DEX, a decentralized exchange enabling low-slippage swaps between XPRT (Persistence’s native token) and various assets within the Cosmos ecosystem. Focused on building seamless user interfaces, integrating Cosmos-based wallets. The DEX plays a key role in supporting DeFi liquidity on the Persistence chain.

pSTAKE Finance:

Developed and managed a web-based platform, enabling users to liquid-stake assets across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin (BTC), Cosmos ecosystem tokens (ATOM, XPRT, OSMO, DYDX, STARS), and Binance Chain (BNB). Implemented secure custody integrations and partnered with top-tier audit firms to uphold high security and compliance standards across the platform and contributed to the platform’s rapid growth, helping it reach over $20M in Total Value Locked (TVL) — solidifying its position as one of the leading liquid staking solutions in the multi-chain DeFi space.
