Summary
Kaan Çağlan is a blockchain security expert and offensive security engineer with eight years of software and cybersecurity experience, currently at CertiK in Istanbul. He co-founded Prepwn, a static analyzer for Solidity that produced 350+ unique detectors and competed successfully on Code4rena, showing a rare blend of tool-building and adversarial auditing. His background spans smart contract auditing (Hacken), offensive engagements (Halborn), and low-level engineering—writing Rust load-testing tools, Move contracts for IBC, and optimizing Solidity for Union Labs. Comfortable with modern DevOps and reproducible builds (Nix) and observability stacks (Datadog, BetterStack), he pairs practical engineering with security-first thinking. Notably, he moves between building automated analysis tools and hands-on pentesting, enabling both preventative and investigative approaches to blockchain risk.
