Hey! I'm Nikhil Arora (you can call me Nik), a Smart Contract Engineer at Opyn. I specialize in building DeFi perpetuals protocols and have a passion for creating robust, efficient smart contracts.
I started my journey as a fullstack engineer but quickly found myself drawn to the smart contract side of things. At Opyn, I rebuilt the entire UI within my first month, then transitioned to working on smart contracts where I've been involved in everything from research and MVP development to production deployment of perpetual trading protocols.
Working on perpetual trading protocols, helped launch the first Opyn perpetual market (WETH/USDC) on Arbitrum Sepolia, and developed automated scripts for monitoring and counter-trading Uniswap V3 pools to maintain price stability.
Built cryptoisreal, an NFT auction platform on Solana that saw 200+ users participate in 42 auctions with over $20K revenue in the first month. Also developed marketcap.guide, a cryptocurrency ticker serving 5K+ daily active users with live pricing and market insights.
Developed marketing automation tools, crafted complex SQL queries for investor presentations, and collaborated on microservice architecture design while serving as primary point of contact for production bug resolution.
I'm always interested in discussing DeFi, smart contracts, and innovative blockchain projects. Feel free to reach out on Twitter or email me.
