Manav Garg
Senior Blockchain Engineer | Protocol Architect & RWA Specialist
Elite blockchain protocol engineer with 5+ years of unbroken production experience shipping mission-critical smart contracts on EVM networks. I design complete on-chain systems end-to-end — from ERC-20/ERC-3643/ERC-4626/ERC-4337 token architectures and modular compliance engines, through multi-tier vesting pools, AI-signal-driven DeFi vaults ($25M+ TVL), and SPV-backed equity tokenization. Battle-tested in production audits (Hacken, QuillAudits), cross-chain bridging, and gas-optimised protocol security.
Professional Summary
Elite blockchain protocol engineer with 5+ years of unbroken production experience shipping mission-critical smart contracts on EVM networks. I design complete on-chain systems end-to-end — from ERC-20/ERC-3643/ERC-4626/ERC-4337 token architectures and modular compliance engines, through multi-tier vesting pools, AI-signal-driven DeFi vaults ($25M+ TVL), and SPV-backed equity tokenization. Battle-tested in production audits (Hacken, QuillAudits), cross-chain bridging, and gas-optimised protocol security.
Key Achievements
- Architected multi-chain ERC-4626 index vaults with AI-driven rebalancing → $25M+ live TVL, Hyperliquid (HyperEVM + HyperCore) integration, cross-chain execution via Axelar + LiFi SDK.
- Engineered full ERC-3643 RWA stack for Basil Health → tokenized 10% equity via BVI SPV; modular compliance, identity registry, forced-transfer recovery, wallet-freeze logic.
- Delivered technical due diligence on 50+ protocols (DeFi, DePIN, AI-Blockchain) for institutional LPs → zero post-launch criticals across all Hacken & QuillAudits engagements.
- Designed jurisdiction-aware token system for Brainwave Science → 1B-supply ERC-20, EIP-2612 gasless approvals, US-transfer compliance gate, 10+ specialized distribution pools on Polygon mainnet.
- Built production-grade EIP-712 RewardsManager → signed direct payouts, cliff/vesting schedules, configurable daily emission caps, Chainlink Automation for permissionless distribution.
- Designed ERC-4337 account abstraction + ERC-6492 counterfactual validation → gasless, deploy-less wallet UX; no contract pre-deployment required.

Brainwave Science & Basil Health | Blockchain Expert & Developer
Mar 2026 – Present | Remote, India
Zero to production on Polygon mainnet — two independent ecosystems: utility token infrastructure (Brainwave Science) + ERC-3643 equity security token representing 10% Basil Health beneficial rights via BVI SPV.
- BWS ERC-20 (1B Supply): EIP-2612 gasless approvals, jurisdiction-aware compliance, composable US-transfer restriction module.
- 10+ distribution pools (Team, Seed, Private Round, Public Sale, Treasury, Research, and more) with configurable cliff periods, vesting logic, and release schedules.
- ERC-3643 TREX compliance stacks for both companies: identity registries, KYC-gated minting, wallet freeze/unfreeze, forced transfers, frozen-token reconciliation, wallet recovery.
- RewardsManager: EIP-712 signed payouts, configurable daily emission caps, re-entrancy protection, Chainlink Automation for permissionless vesting releases.
- NFT suite (GenesisNFT, InvestorNFT, DynamicAvatarNFT, WellnessCenterNFT): Base64 on-chain metadata, EIP-712-permissioned state updates, NFT-weighted governance with timelock and full proposal state machine.
- Deployed and battle-tested on Polygon mainnet (137) + Amoy testnet (80002) with comprehensive Foundry coverage: invariant testing, fuzz runs at 256+ iterations, and gas benchmarking.
