Founding Engineer @Anchorage

[prasincs ⚓️🇺🇸🇳🇵 @prasincs]

A while back, the engineering team at @Anchorage was digging into Solana transaction parsing for institutional flows. The existing parsers in Rust brought a lot of dependencies for very little gain. Around the same time, Turnkey had written a lighter-weight parser — authored, of all people, by Omkar, who worked with us at Anchorage previously.

Small world. Lean, understandable code. One problem: it wasn't usable as a library yet for what eventually became visualsign-parser. So I sent in an open-source fix to make it one, and Omkar and I started trading notes again on what else needed sharpening.
Those conversations are what eventually turned into the Turnkey collaboration where we co-designed aspects of Turnkey Verifiable Cloud to deploy visualsign-parser. We have collaborated on improving Anchor IDL parsing functionality as well as strengthening the testing coverage in the parsers with ongoing work on Fuzzing and Property testing. While we were geeking out on the nuances of parsers, someone with better business sense on our side floated, "what if this is the path to real DeFi support on Solana for institutions?"
From there it was: building a proprietary browser extension that lets institutions interact with the full Solana DeFi ecosystem from a Porto account. Swaps, program upgrades, yield, governance — all signed against infra that meets our institutional grade standard.

Institutions have a safe, secure way to access Solana DeFi.

@solana & @turnkey: Thanks for the great collab.

@mattschoch Oops. Fixed! Thanks for flagging that :)

I'm working on giving AI agents access to payment systems. It's incredible how much is being built in this space right now. Reach out to us at [email protected] if you have agents that need access to make crypto and fiat payments and to manage money.

@karrisaarinen Well, I know what I want: boring infrastructure. Git, triggering CI, a blackboard for tools to post data to, and not much else. Github has me captured through a different network effect: integrations. Everything integrates with github!

Out of everything I've read about software architecture, the most important thing is to have a "domain layer". It doesn't matter who your preferred software architecture guru is. They'll all tell you that you need one of these. https://t.co/Y3i7iqSuKF

This is why you should care about the UIs of transaction signing devices. Full talk at: https://t.co/JBma0ENuex

What you see is (supposed to be) what you sign. But let’s be real: most users see “0x8e…4b” and cross their fingers. Viktor Stanchev (@Vikstrous), Founding Engineer at Anchorage Digital and I dove into this at Eth Taipei.

[Viktor Stanchev @Vikstrous]

@EthTaipei was excellent. I learned a lot and got to meet some really interesting people. Thank you for inviting us to speak about the risks of blind signing and to sing "I want it that way"

[ETHTaipei 🇹🇼 @EthTaipei]

Tonight’s ETH Taipei Closing Party was at different level.
​
Huge shoutout to everyone who came, vibed, danced, and even got on stage to sing. Thank you for making it magic. 🎤💃🕺
​
You made it lit. You made it unforgettable. The energy is off the charts.
​
Till the next ETH Taipei—Let’s keep BUIDLing, keep laughing, and keep vibing both on-chain and off-chain.（and keep showing up on ETH2026😘）

Do you get stuck when trying to make large code refactors across a whole codebase? I've been refactoring a monorepo regularly for years and I have some tips to share.

[1/16] The real world is large, and we want our AI models to operate on the scale of reality.

Over the past two years, my colleagues and I have developed fVDB, a deep learning framework for large-scale, high performance spatial intelligence.

We finally announced this work at SIGGRAPH and have released the framework in early access. Here’s a small tour of what fVDB is, and what we’ve used it to do.

What have missed? What are your experiences with/without global state?

[Viktor Stanchev @Vikstrous]

This is the project I've been working on lately. I can talk about now that it's public :)

Buy/sell-side firms use Atlas to help avoid counterparty, delivery, and bankruptcy risks.

Are you using @temporalio and writing workflows in Go using their #golang SDK? I created a type-safe wrapper around the Temporal Go SDK called tstemporal. It helps you avoid many common mistakes when working with Temporal workflows.

This #golang package I wrote is useful to anyone building #graphql servers in Go. It has a nicer interface than other data loader packages and works just as well or better.

@roblaszczak I'm glad you liked it! I love your blog btw. I followed it when it was more active and it's still a great resource. Thanks for putting so much grant info in the open for everyone to read.

I started to dabble in building web UIs with HTMX and building front-ends. It allows for building very high performing and smooth feeling websites without writing fancy JavaScript. Read my initial thoughts about HTMX here: https://t.co/9rjJCqGHmP
