Layer 2 Protocol Engineering

Auditless provides specialized protocol engineering services for blockchain scaling solutions, with particular expertise in Layer 2 technologies, consensus mechanisms, and blockchain infrastructure development.

Core Engineering Capabilities

Layer 2 Development: Deep experience with Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions, particularly ZK-rollups and optimistic rollups. The team contributed to the Unichain L2 launch (reaching $1B in TVL) and has extensive experience building on StarkNet and other L2 platforms.

Protocol Architecture: Design and implementation of core blockchain protocol systems including consensus mechanisms, peer-to-peer networking integration, and custom chain development using frameworks like Cosmos SDK and Substrate.

Cryptographic Implementation: Integration of cryptographic primitives and ZK technology in protocol design, particularly in the context of Layer 2 scaling and privacy-preserving systems.

Notable Protocol Work

Unichain: Supported the Uniswap Foundation in launching Unichain, a Layer 2 optimistic rollup that achieved $1B in TVL. Involved in protocol design, implementation, and launch coordination.

StarkNet Ecosystem: Built protocols on StarkNet including Yagi Finance, a yield aggregator and keeper network. Pioneered L2-native liquidity management strategies and structured products.

Aera Protocol: Engineered the world's first autonomous, data-driven treasury management protocol, involving complex protocol design for automated decision-making and on-chain execution.
