Kartikay Tiwari

Software Engineer | Distributed Systems & Decentralized Protocols

Computer Science graduate from IIIT Gwalior (2025). Focused on high-performance distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, and cryptographic financial rails. Passionate about computer systems, concurrency, and on-chain protocol architecture.

Core Projects

• Filosign: Decentralized, zero-trust agreement protocol for the Filecoin ecosystem. Features post-quantum cryptography (Kyber/Dilithium), server-sponsored meta-transactions (zero-gas UX), and Sybil-resistant authentication via World ID.
• Verity: Autonomous payment settlement protocol integrating Chainlink Compute (CRE) and LLMs to execute merit-based, trustless USDC escrow payouts on EVM smart contracts without human arbiters.
• Haithe: On-chain AI agent orchestration platform on Metis. Engineered machine-to-machine (M2M) micro-transactions via USDT smart contracts for automated agent workflow monetization.
• Beaver Social: Headless Web3 social infrastructure protocol built on Sui using Move smart contracts and an off-chain cryptographic "Action-Chain" verification system to prevent replay attacks.
• Friday: Open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server functioning as an AI personal assistant integrating local terminal, calendar, and system workflows.

Developer Tooling & Infrastructure

• MCP Template: Minimal, high-performance template for building Model Context Protocol servers utilizing Bun and TypeScript.
• Mono: Opinionated monorepo architecture template for scaling full-stack applications with strict type-safety and CI/CD configurations.
