Punk#3315 | Builder and explorer 🤠

Most of what I do starts from a self-hosted Ethereum node and a lot of reading old Solidity by hand.

White-hat recoveries

  • ~1,003 ETH unlocked from the failed 2016 HongCoin ICO, frozen for 9 years. I found the path (an unchecked overflow in the team's own admin function), proved it on a Foundry mainnet fork, and disclosed it to the original team, who executed it on-chain. No funds taken, no fee. See hongcoin-recovery.
  • ~19.3 ETH returned in earlier cases: a dormant 2018 ICO refund (5.1 ETH) and 7 expired Liquality HTLCs (14.2 ETH).

On-chain puzzles

  • 0.01 BTC claimed from various on-chain puzzles, most of it four Bitcoin key puzzles hidden in Kary Finlow-Bates' book (BIP39 mnemonic repair, XOR of printed hashes, English to Italian wordlist localization, triple-SHA256 of a hidden phrase), unsolved for years, plus a couple of smaller ones. See finlow-bates-solutions.
  • 0.5 ETH claimed on Teikhos bounty 735B, by recovering a winning ECDSA public key that had leaked in a failed 2022 attempt's calldata. See teikhos-735b.

Protocol security

  • 8 bugs (Critical and High) reported on the Akash BME incentivized testnet, each with a reproduction: stuck mints, vault, lease and escrow state inconsistencies, and an oracle config mismatch. Earned $320 in AKT as a rewarded tester. See akash-bme-testnet-bugs.
  • Ongoing differential research on Ethereum execution and consensus clients, and zkVM soundness.

DeFi and ZK

  • Won a $100,000 hackathon for a private lending protocol I built on Aleo, written in Leo. Ask me on X for details.
