Hello friend 👋

I'm Abhav Kedia and I'm currently Chief of Staff at the company that develops the Arweave protocol and ecosystem! I like developing stuff and writing - they help me think better.

Stuff I've Liked Producing

This is a short list of stuff I've worked on and put out into the world. I wish I could write more often. I also wish I'd stop wishing.

Blogs ✏️

All of my stuff on my medium and substack. In the past I have written about Reinforcement Learning, Money and Payments, and a little bit of crypto.

Eight months into my work in this space, I have recently started to think and write more about web3, my work at Arweave (it is a very very cool protocol that more people should know about) and my thoughts on where we're all headed as our present accelerates into the future.

Code 👨‍

• dolev-strong - An Erlang library implementing one of the most elegant proofs in Classical Consensus. This was a fun one!
• arfunds - A nodejs library for incentivized archiving smart contracts. This allows creating archiving pools and interacting with them.
• VK-archiver - A node bot that fetches real-time feed from VK (Russian facebook) and persists to Arweave.
• O-coin - A simple, consensus-free cryptocurrency that moves consensus from the technical to the social layer. Accompanies a paper written by Sam Williams and me, and written in Erlang.
