Hey, I am Cygnus, currently working as a founding Engineer at @aquanodeio , also Founder Engg. of @splitodotio and contributing in @meowtradescom.
I've won over 10+ web3 global (earning over $10k) hackathons and have been building in the space for 3+ years.
Let’s connect!
Making crypto feel like money.
Splito lets you easily manage balances across multiple currencies and crypto tokens. The constant price fluctuations have long made it difficult to treat crypto as real money rather than just an asset.
That’s no longer the case.
Didn’t expect to find a Solana protocol offering 35% yield this week!
A set-up combining CeFi and DeFi in a way I hadn’t seen before. You stake SOL to get bbSOL on-chain, then you either farm it on Byreal (DeFi) or deposit it on Bybit (CeFi).
The process is simple:
- Stake SOL for bbSOL on either Byreal or Sanctum
- Provide liquidity on Byreal or deposit bbSOL on Bybit
- Let the yield compound
Sharing my quick breakdown in the video below.

i’ve won hackathons with prizes like $2500, $2000, $1500, and more.
this is how my engineering journey went. i had to manage my own expenses right from the early years.
first year, got an sde intern role
second year, somehow got into web3 because of @anshstwt
third year, went from intern to full-time and joined more hackathons
fourth year, quit my job to build products, raised grants, and won @colosseum for @aquanodeio
growing in web3 feels easiest.
i've won 19 hackathons, with prizes like $4000, $2500 cash and more.
i've worked with companies like Lit Protocol and Quickswap, contributing across engineering, product, support and devrel.
right now, i’m exploring further and trying to build saas that might help someone.
hackathons have always felt like a fun game to me, pushes me to think about use cases, wonder what might impress the judges, and build something impactful in a short amount of time.
web3 today is truly one of the few space overflowing with opportunities for newcomers - from hackathons to bounties to grants, so many chains are building new tech and looking for devs to build on top of them.
(this is me and @cygnussan back in january.)
We’re on a mission to build the best finance management platform in crypto, no on-chain shit, no over-complexity, just usability.
DM us your biggest crypto finance pain point—we’ll fix it ( pinky promise ) .
Aquanode supercharges GPUs with capabilities that allow even a lower cost GPU from providers like @VoltagePark to function like an AWS instance, complete with tools and integrations.
Many teams begin their journey with hyperscalers, often taking advantage of free credits. Once those credits run out, the reality sets in
> Hyperscalers are expensive
> Cheaper providers help reduce costs, but they do not offer the same cloud features
> Teams are left to set up their own integrations for storage, monitoring, and other essential services
> On top of that, GPUs can become unavailable, leading to delays and wait times
Aquanode changes this experience.
It brings multiple GPU providers and data centers into a single dashboard, while offering customizable services like ComfyUI that can be deployed directly on GPUs with capabilities like backups.
We simply want developers to save weeks of rebuilding entire stacks and integrations with a single click.
