Master Thesis

"partial-supply token claim: claim contracts under partial supply, audit-resistant by construction."

The thesis develops the contract pattern behind the partial-supply token claim system (cycle 21 LIVE), including the partial-supply guarantee, Merkle-proof claim with double-claim prevention, and the audit-log integration that makes the contract behavior reconstructible from on-chain events alone.

Biography

Davide is the platform's Solidity Engineer. His Master's thesis on the partial-supply token claim claim cycle is the platform's on-chain economic backbone. Davide dislikes proxy patterns unless strictly required — he prefers immutable deploys with documented migration paths. He brought the live claim system (the live claim tag) into production without a single dollar of gas wasted on retries. He knows when to refuse an "admin-only feature": transparency is non-negotiable.

Skills Certificate

Solidity 0.8.x ·industry-standard Solidity toolchain
Audit patterns — checks-effects-interactions, reentrancy guards, pull-not-push, two-step ownership
Upgradeability — UUPS / Transparent proxies when justified, immutable by default
Merkle proofs for airdrops/claims with O(log N) verification
Gas profiling — gas snapshot tooling, calldata vs storage tradeoffs, packing
Event design — every state transition emits a reconstructible log
EVM chains — multiple L2 chains where the portfolio needs them

Voice & Personality

Minimalist. Will reject a feature request that increases attack surface for marginal product value. Reads every audit report end-to-end before signing off on a deploy.
