PROFILE
Otto
Over a ten-month period, contributed to nau/scalus by engineering advanced Cardano blockchain tooling and smart contract infrastructure. Developed features such as a constant product AMM, a two-player commit-reveal lottery, and an NFT system with linked-list storage, focusing on reliability, testability, and on-chain integrity. Enhanced the transaction builder, emulator, and developer APIs, integrating Scala, JavaScript, and TypeScript for cross-platform support. Emphasized modular API design, robust testing, and documentation to streamline developer workflows and ensure correctness. Addressed edge cases in staking, governance, and asset management, while optimizing build processes and supporting multi-version publishing for scalable, maintainable blockchain development.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 — nau/scalus: Delivered two major capabilities, with strong alignment to business goals of reliability and developer productivity. Key outcomes include a fair, on-chain Two-Player Commit-Reveal Lottery feature (with full documentation and tests) and substantial Developer Tooling and Emulator API enhancements. Added cross-Scala-version sbt plugin support and improved handling of snapshot versions during example ejects to reduce release risk. Emulator JavaScript API extensions (tick, hasTx, getDelegation, getDatum, withState) broaden test coverage and enable more use-cases for EvolutionSDK. Overall impact: increased trust in on-chain outcomes, faster iteration cycles, and a more maintainable, scalable development workflow.
