Arunabha Dhal

I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech student in Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science at IIT Indore with a strong passion for blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contract auditing, and security. I’ve gained hands-on experience across multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Aptos, and zkSync, and have worked with a variety of protocols.

My work includes projects like Aptunes, a decentralized on-chain radio platform; a USD-pegged stablecoin backed by WETH and WBTC; a Merkle Root Airdrop contract for scalable token distribution; and the automation of operations for Bitcoin runes using the Ordinals Protocol. Currently, I am working on a cross-chain liquidity protector protocol that leverages Chainlink CCIP, integrating AI intent engines with automated text-to-transaction features to enhance the usability and security of DeFi applications. Additionally, I have built multisignature account abstraction contracts, integrated Hyperledger for secure data management, and set up permissioned decentralized file storage systems.

Throughout my journey, I’ve developed proficiency in Solidity, Rust, Python, and Move, along with tools like Foundry, Hardhat, and Remix. My enthusiasm for DeFi and expertise in working with diverse blockchain protocols drive me to build secure, efficient, and impactful decentralized solutions while continuously refining my skills in security and auditing.
