Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKirill Varlamov is a seasoned Web3 protocol engineer and team lead with over a decade of systems engineering experience and 8+ years focused on EVM/DeFi. He helped bootstrap Lido (core contributor to the stETH & DAO stack) and co-developed DeBridge, delivering production-grade smart contracts, cross-chain routing, and high-assurance testing and audits. Equally comfortable in Solidity, Rust, Go, and Python, he blends low-level EVM engineering (Foundry/Hardhat, UUPS/Diamond proxies) with backend and ChainOps expertise across Ethereum L1s and major L2s. He has led distributed teams up to 30 FTE, run CTO-level product delivery for startups and HFT funds, and built intent/solver integrations with CoW/UniswapX for on-chain market making. Known for rigorous security practices—fuzzing, invariants, fork testing—and close collaboration with top audit firms, he accelerates protocols from design through audit to live TVL. Based in Zug, Kirill combines telecom-grade distributed-systems roots with a knack for shipping DeFi primitives that scale and interoperate with TradFi infrastructure.
