Hey! I’m Yash

I’m currently exploring ideas in agentic commerce and stablecoins.

Previously, I was at [Eigen labs], where I worked on the core protocol ($10B+ AUM) and led the slashing release, among other protocol initiatives.

Before that, I was at Ondo Finance, where I built Flux Finance, a lending protocol for tokenized securities, and worked on the earliest RWA products that now have $1B+ in TVL – OUSG and USDY

I graduated from Duke in 2021, where I studied CS and PPE. While in college, I

• Worked on SteadyState Finance, a Defi insurance startup
• PM’d at Microsoft on the Xbox Team
• Interned at AlphaPoint building a crypto exchange
• Developed an Identity Protocol at Samsung Research America
• Ran the Duke Blockchain Lab, where I built a course taken by 40+ undergrads and TA’d an MBA Crypto Course
• Conducted research at the intersection of consensus algorithms and reinforcement learning with Dr. Kartik Nayak.

What I’m Reading:
