Skanda Bhat is a founder and independent developer-entrepreneur with 11 years of experience focused on Ethereum infrastructure, distributed systems, and open-source software. Based in Munich, he splits his time between Rust and Solidity, contributing to high-performance projects like paradigmxyz/reth where he implemented core features such as mev_simBundle and refined RPC and transaction handling. As Technical Lead at Razor Network he grew engineering from 0 to 12, led architecture and security work for a production oracle deployed on SKALE, and coordinated audits with firms like Halborn and Slowmist. His background spans full-stack product engineering—from electric vehicle dashboards at Ather to growth-driven web work at SignEasy—bringing a blend of product sensibility, protocol research, and cypherpunk values to serious crypto infrastructure projects. Unusually for a founder, he remains hands-on in low-level protocol design while also shipping team-scale operational practices.
