Destiny Akpan

I'm Destiny Akpan (Dee), a 16-year-old Nigerian blockchain developer, onchain entrepreneur, DevRel advocate, and cybersecurity student at the University of Uyo, Nigeria. I'm passionate about functional blockchain applications and web3 security.

I've built numerous personal projects including an NFT Marketplace, onramp/offramp services, and an AI payroll system. Currently, I'm building a stablecoin DEX that is cNGN native, bringing DeFi solutions to the Nigerian market.

I've worked with multiple projects across different EVM chains using Solidity. Notable projects include Superbridge on Pepe Unchained network and PenkMarket, a cross-chain DEX.

My expertise extends to real-world cybersecurity research and web security, particularly in cloud computing and Solidity contract auditing. I hold the HTB Junior Penetration Tester certification.

I've participated in numerous hackathons across blockchain tracks including payments, AI, and DeFi. I won first place in the Zypherpunk hackathon Miden track for my cross-chain asset bridge, Raven Bridge.
