Hey, I'm Advaith.
I'm currently Head of Engineering at Azura. I spend most of my time building consumer-centric crypto products.
Why Crypto?
Crypto offers a unique potential to restructure how we interact online—creating trustless, global infrastructure from day one. I'm interested in:
-
Near-instantaneous settlement versus traditional finance
-
Neutral platforms that reduce friction as more people come online
-
Blockchain as aggregator - eliminating rent-seeking intermediaries
-
Sovereign digital identity - asset-bearing individuals with portable reputation
The distribution challenge changes entirely when the blockchain serves as a super-aggregator. You don't need permission; you build something valuable and distribution finds you.
What I Believe
Blockchains remove the need for trusted intermediaries to maintain data integrity. That's the core value proposition — everything else is noise or distraction.
Protocols should function as minimally extractive coordinators. Ethereum has proven this model works, redirecting value toward public goods rather than rent-seekers.
I'm focused on building the infrastructure for this new frontier and establishing what trustworthy, consumer-facing crypto looks like.
