Summary
Franklin Waller is a blockchain research and R&D engineer with 11 years of experience building decentralized systems, currently designing a cross-chain oracle and decentralized computing platform at SEDA Protocol. He blends full-stack TypeScript development with Rust-based tooling—authoring VM, indexer, and on-chain oracle components that run WASM, support gas metering, and enable seamless DAO-driven consensus upgrades without node operator intervention. As founder of PlayOS and Rutile he explored practical decentralization patterns like encrypted IPFS storage, POSIX-compatible WASM apps, fee-less computation models, and client-side virtual filesystems. Based in Haarlem, Netherlands, he ships production-grade backends, explorers, and permissioned oracle nodes while keeping a researcher's focus on protocol-level upgrades and composability. An under-the-radar strength is his habit of bridging developer ergonomics and low-level system design, making complex distributed features approachable for builders.
