HL Tools

Multisig treasuries, a testnet faucet and developer tools for Hyperliquid

  • TanStack Start
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • Supabase
  • PostgreSQL
  • Viem
  • Wagmi
  • RainbowKit
  • +8
Launch Source
Problem
Teams holding money on Hyperliquid need several people to approve each move, and the chain supports native multi-sig accounts, but running one meant passing signatures around by hand with no shared view of what is waiting, what was signed or what actually landed. Developers building on HyperCore and HyperEVM face quiet failures of their own, and testnet USDC is capped at one faucet drip per account.
What I built
A multisig that converts an account into a treasury, then proposes, signs and submits native multi-sig actions with every signature recovered and readiness judged against the live signer set in the browser. An optional Supabase relay (Postgres with row-level security, Realtime, Cron) adds sign-in, a shared inbox and live signatures without being trusted. Live treasury pages stream holdings from Hyperliquid and tie each transfer to its proposal. Alongside: the faucet miner and eight read-only diagnostics on one protocol core.
Outcome
Live at hltools.tech and open source. Multisig signing matches the official Python SDK byte for byte, the protocol rules are pinned by fixtures recorded from hundreds of real testnet requests, and the app ships with 3,485 unit tests and 1,047 pgTAP assertions on the relay's access rules.

AshDex

Perps, spot and prediction markets on Hyperliquid

  • Next.js 15
  • TypeScript
  • Hyperliquid SDK
  • Wagmi
  • Viem
  • Zustand
  • React Query
  • Tailwind 4
  • +3
Launch Source
Problem
Hyperliquid's own UI is the only serious way to trade the L1. A builder needs a terminal that matches it feature for feature while staying fully non-custodial and easy to extend.
What I built
A Next.js 15 terminal with no backend: WebSocket subscriptions for mids, order book, candles and ledger feed Zustand stores; every action is signed by the user's wallet through Wagmi and Viem. Limit, market, TP/SL and TWAP orders, cross and isolated margin, spot, HIP-4 outcome markets with share split and merge, portfolio and bridge.
Outcome
Live at ashdex.app with a Playwright end-to-end suite that runs every trading flow against a stubbed exchange and injected wallet, so releases ship without touching real funds.

Lizard Poisons Spock

Commit-reveal wagering game on EVM chains

  • Solidity
  • Hardhat
  • React
  • Vite
  • Wagmi
  • Viem
  • tRPC
  • Socket.IO
  • +3
Launch Source
Problem
Sheldon's favourite game, played for real ETH: let two strangers wager on Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock without either being able to cheat, stall, or drain the other.
What I built
A monorepo with a commit-reveal Solidity contract deployed fresh per match, an Express server with Socket.IO and tRPC on Postgres for matchmaking and persistence, and a Vite and React client using Wagmi and Viem across eight EVM chains.
Outcome
On-chain timeouts stop stalling, the server verifies deployed bytecode against the compiled artifact to block malicious contracts, and games survive refreshes through persisted state and reconnection.

About

Off the résumé

I am 29, and seven of those years have gone into software that handles other people’s money — the interface, the services behind it, and the contracts underneath.

The origin story is not a noble one. A friend told me Bitcoin was “software that represents money”. I could write software. Therefore, I concluded, I could write software that printed Bitcoin. That was the genius plan. It did not work, and I have been building on-chain ever since.

These days I enjoy the unglamorous half: the state machine behind a trade, the failure case nobody wrote a ticket for, the deploy that stops being scary. When something breaks I want to know why, and that curiosity tends to pull me through the whole stack, interface to contracts. The moment it finally makes sense is still my favourite part of the job.
