PROFILE
Ben Kelcher
Over nine months, contributed to BitGoJS by building and enhancing staking features across multiple blockchain protocols, including Ethereum, Sui, and Babylon. Delivered thirteen features such as EIP-712 signing for Ethereum, region-aware staking options, and bulk staking support for Walrus, while also optimizing Babylon staking parameters for reliability and throughput. Addressed testnet compatibility by updating configurations and package IDs, ensuring smooth SUI staking workflows. Leveraged TypeScript, JavaScript, and Node.js to implement backend logic, SDK improvements, and cryptographic signing flows. Maintained repository health through targeted cleanup and configuration management, demonstrating disciplined incremental delivery and a focus on upgrade readiness and maintainability.

Jul 1, 2026July 2026: BitGoJS — Focused on stabilizing SUI staking workflows on the testnet by updating Walrus-related package IDs and token definitions. Delivered two targeted fixes to align testnet configurations with the redeployed Walrus contracts, enabling reliable SUI:WAL staking tests post gRPC migration. Changes are isolated to testnet and do not affect mainnet. This improves test reliability and accelerates verification of staking flows.
