PROFILE
Paolo Galli
Paolo Galli contributed to the vechain/thor repository by engineering core blockchain protocol upgrades, focusing on dynamic fee markets, staking economics, and enhanced observability. He implemented hard fork features such as Shanghai and Galactica, refactored transaction processing for dynamic gas pricing, and improved reward distribution logic. Using Go and TypeScript, Paolo expanded API reliability, automated validator onboarding with CI/CD, and strengthened test coverage for consensus and staking modules. His work addressed edge-case bugs, optimized gas usage, and standardized devnet initialization, resulting in more predictable validator rewards, robust transaction handling, and maintainable code. The depth of his contributions improved network reliability.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 performance summary for vechain/thor. Key features delivered include the Reward Calculation Enhancement and Dynamic Reward Distribution and the PoS Verification and Block Finality Test Suite Enhancements. The reward work refactors the calculation to a single CurveFactor parameter and introduces ValidatorRewardPercentage for dynamic control of reward distribution between proposers and validators, with updates to tests to validate distribution under various scenarios. The PoS test suite was enhanced with refactored finality tests and new PoS-related test files to improve coverage of finality logic. Commit activity highlights include: 403722971b5eb4e0534baac5da217c60bd629fc0 (Introducing Curve factor param), 429e5d406a2add2270fa7e1a85d9cc9119623226 (add ValidatorRewardPercentage param), and e9c729861dba5d669e7f272b0e149786c41614c6 (refactor tests on finality).
