Mavis Tan is a blockchain developer with 10 years of engineering experience, currently building at MANTRA after six years advancing Layer 1 EVM-compatible and IBC features at Crypto.com. She specializes in backend and DevOps work for Cosmos SDK-based chains—contributions include improving integration tests, IBC relayer enhancements, RPC fixes, and performance-focused tooling for high-throughput chains like Cronos and Ethermint. Mavis blends low-level protocol debugging with test infrastructure and config automation (YAML→Jsonnet refactors, hermes/hermes upgrades, pystarport work), making complex distributed systems more reliable and maintainable. Her background spans full-stack and mobile projects early in her career, giving her a practical product-oriented mindset alongside core blockchain expertise. Notably, she has hands-on experience reconciling Ethereum semantics with Cosmos-based EVM implementations (eth_getProof, proposerAddress support), a niche that eases cross-chain interoperability challenges. Based in Hong Kong, she brings a pragmatic focus on testability and operational robustness to open-source blockchain ecosystems.
