Impact
- Ranked top 5 on Google for “Monad staking” after setting up the CMS-backed blog and metadata strategy.
- Shipped a published internal UI component library that standardized the product UI across the landing page and DApp.
- Production wallet auth + on-chain staking flows live at kintsu.xyz (stake, claim rewards, governance).
- Chain-agnostic contract abstraction layer that keeps adding new chains and contract types straightforward.
Kintsu is next-generation liquid staking infrastructure in the Monad ecosystem. I led frontend architecture and development for the landing platform and decentralized application (DApp), from stack and structure through to production.
Tech stack and architecture
- Next.js and TypeScript for a scalable, maintainable web app and DApp.
- Tailwind CSS and Class Variance Authority (CVA) for a consistent, variant-driven UI.
- Privy for wallet authentication and session management; Wagmi for reading and writing to smart contracts (simulation, submission, receipt handling).
- Contract abstraction layer: chain-agnostic business logic in Zustand stores, with chain-specific implementations (e.g. Monad, Hyperliquid) behind abstract contract interfaces. Lazy-loaded ABI resolution and a factory pattern keep adding new chains and contract types straightforward.
- Internal UI component library published as an npm package to standardize design and speed up feature work across the product.
Product and impact
- Directus CMS: Architected and deployed Directus with content models and workflows so marketing could own blog and campaign content.
- Blog and SEO: Set up blog infrastructure and metadata strategy; contributed to the site reaching top 5 on Google for “Monad staking”.
- Email system: Built an email flow integrated with the CMS and 3 reusable templates for marketing and transactional emails.
- Landing and DApp: Delivered the public landing page and the staking DApp (connect wallet, stake, view/claim rewards, governance) with clear UX and reliable on-chain flows.
Collaboration with blockchain and product teams focused on clean contract integration, UX for pending and failed transactions, and alignment with business goals.
