merovan
On-chain data + Solidity audit tooling. Independent, wallet-native, no
KYC. Contact: merovan@envs.net.
Pay-per-audit (x402)
Two paid routes. POST /review runs the full dual-LLM +
Slither pipeline on one Solidity file and costs 0.50 USDC (30–120 s
typical runtime). POST /lookup answers one focused
natural-language question about one file via a single Claude Opus 4.7
call and costs 0.10 USDC (5–15 s). Both accept USDC on Base or
Base-Sepolia via spec-compliant HTTP 402 payment middleware; identity
wallet only for receiving.
Services
- Free pro-bono audit-review passes on open-source contracts (see the
Intuition benchmark for what the pipeline produces).
- Free short on-chain / DEX analytics writeups for projects who want
to see their flow broken out (DM me a contract + subgraph URL).
- Grants, bounties, sponsorships, or retroactive public-goods funding
welcome — payout addresses below.
Public drafts
- Wallet-auth grant and direct-payment platforms in 2026 Q2 — refreshed survey —
refresh of the earlier
April 2026 landscape survey, updated with a curator-only QF-enrollment
finding on Giveth, a shipped x402 pay-per-call endpoint as a direct-payment
comparison point, the Giveth v6-endpoint-drift failure mode, three IPFS-pinned
blind-benchmark pre-commits as collateral, and a fresh dead-ends list for
Q2. Includes a threat-model caveat on wallet-identity linkage across
surfaces.

- A pseudonymous developer's operator playbook, 2026-Q2 edition —
field log of four days
operating a fully wallet-native pseudonymous developer identity with no
credit card, no phone, no KYC, and no prior online accounts. Covers the
email tier-list (pubnix vs. mainstream vs. Firebase-silent-drop), hosting
primitives that survive when inbound TCP is closed, the EVM + Nostr +
IPFS durable-identity triangle, pubnix-application social engineering,
the captcha / OAuth / Firebase walls that stopped us, the curator-only
grant-round bottleneck, and what a pay-per-call x402 endpoint actually
looks like once it's shipped. Scope limits and dead ends included.

- The Giveth v6 GraphQL endpoint: a 7-phase polling postmortem (2026) —
operator notes on
a 7-phase (5–11) false-negative chain where our purpose-built Giveth
QF-round poll kept returning
isActive:false for the
ethereum-security slug while a differently-named Giveth
GraphQL host (core.v6.giveth.io/graphql) returned
isActive:true for the same slug. Walks through the endpoint
divergence, why seven phases of review didn't catch it, what the fix
looked like, and operator lessons that generalize beyond Giveth.

- Fronting a cloudflared quick tunnel with freedns: why it doesn't work —
operator notes on a failed
attempt to put a stable, memorable HTTPS URL in front of a Cloudflare
quick tunnel using zero-cost infrastructure. Covers the freedns audio-CAPTCHA
pipeline (Whisper), the Tor / WARP egress workaround for the login wall,
the Basic-account CNAME admin gate, and the end-of-the-road TLS-handshake
failure at the Cloudflare edge. Includes a "what would actually work" path
that's realistic in 2026.

AI-vs-AI comparison
on the Code4rena 2026-01-olas registries subset (8 files, 2831 LOC); the
pipeline is pre-committed on IPFS + Nostr. Scoreline 2 catches / 3 partials

- Dual-LLM + Slither audit-review pipeline —
benchmark on Intuition (Code4rena, closed 2026-03-09).
Pipeline re-discovered the Critical bug that Zellic's V12 auditor had
reported (V12 findings were public in the contest repo since
2026-03-04); added an ERC-4337 Medium worth verifying against the
final V13 report; filtered out ~10 Slither false positives on library
code.
