Hi, I’m Vadim (aka @ifelsedeveloper) — I build end‑to‑end blockchain products: smart contracts, indexing backends, and modern front‑ends. I’ve led and shipped NFT marketplaces, DEXes, and tooling across Ethereum, Solana, and Aptos. I enjoy clean architectures, deterministic deployments, and squeezing gas like it’s a sport.
- RARI cross‑chain bridge (LayerZero OFT) — Ethereum ↔ Base: contracts, adapter, and a minimal NestJS microservice (
lz-bridge-service) plus a Next.js UI (ui-rari-bridge). - Reward swap / liquidity automation — NestJS service integrating Uniswap v3 (AlphaRouter/QuoterV2) for scheduled swaps and cron‑driven flows.
- Gas‑efficient Solidity patterns — storage packing, memory‑safe assembly, proxy patterns, CREATE2/CREATE3 deterministic deploys.
- 1inch SwapVM — Math fromulas for AMM with fee and reinvest, AMM for swap.
I love turning messy multi‑chain flows into simple, reliable CLIs and services.
- Rarible — Tech lead & smart‑contract engineer for EVM/Solana/Aptos: primary sales, marketplace, indexers, and UI SDK packages.
- DEX (EVM) — Designed and delivered core contracts and The Graph APIs for a farming DEX (SwapTasteNFT).
- Minter Browser / Blockmint — Architected data‑heavy pipelines, CI/CD, and crypto monetization flows.
- Tradespoon / HFT tools — Market‑data pipelines and forecasting (CBOE/CME protocols), mobile apps, and analytics.

- LayerZero RARI OFT bridge — OFT token + Adapter on Ethereum, service (
lz-bridge-service) and UI (ui-rari-bridge) for seamless ETH→Base transfers. - Reward Swap Service — Cron‑driven swaps (WETH⇄RARI) with slippage controls and environment‑driven configs.
- Indexers & APIs — The Graph endpoints for DEX/NFT flows; infra & CI/CD from zero to production.
- Marketplace & primary sales — Multi‑chain smart contracts and SDKs for integrating NFT primitives into apps.
If you want a secure marketplace, a deterministic deploy pipeline, or a simple bridge UI that just works, that’s my jam.

If you’re building onchain infra (marketplaces, bridges, indexers, or clever trading tools), let’s talk.
