$ every line is a suspect
I'm Ivan, an independent security researcher focused on EVM smart contracts. Over the past 3+ years I've reviewed protocols spanning DeFi, stablecoins, lending, cross-chain bridges, prediction markets and staking — both in public competitions and private engagements with established audit firms.
My approach is manual-first: deep reading of the codebase, threat modeling against the protocol's economic assumptions, then proving issues with concrete PoCs. I care about the bugs that pattern-matching and tooling miss.
