Hi Polkadot Fellowship community,

I’m **Rishi**, a blockchain developer and automation engineer, currently working with **Persist Ventures** and co-founder of **Createathon**. I specialize in building scalable backend systems, DeFi primitives, and developer automation across **Solana**, **EVM**, and **Telegram Mini Apps**.

My technical focus lies in low-level smart contract systems, custom incentive logic, and tooling that enables real users and builders to interact with Web3 at scale.

### Selected Contributions:
- 🧪 [Dexgrator](https://dexgrator.com) – Solana’s first **multi-token swap DEX** with routing logic & vault-based architecture  
- 📈 Built an on-chain **perpetuals market prototype** with leverage/funding rate logic on Solana Devnet  
- 🌀 Designed and implemented custom **bonding curves** for gamified token distribution  
- 📊 Created **tokenomics systems** for multiple Web3 clients — including emissions, LP design, and staking/reward loops  
- ⚙️ [Createathon SaaS](https://t.me/Createathon_bot) – Telegram Mini App with automation, dashboard, and campaign modules  
- 🥇 Winner of the [CopperX bot bounty](https://x.com/Rish_w3b/status/1911114374837661811)  
- 🔧 Built DeFi tools including sniper bots, copy trading systems, and internal enterprise portals  
- 🧱 Node runner on multiple chains (under NDA)  
- 📺 Manage a **130K+ subscriber YouTube channel** focused on Web3 education and onboarding  
- 🤝 Hosted IRL onboarding sessions in Aurangabad ([Proof](https://x.com/Rish_w3b/status/1854880277748748617))  
- 🏛️ Member of **Vidarbha DAO**, supporting grassroots Web3 adoption in India

## 🎯 Why Polkadot?

Polkadot represents what many ecosystems attempt: a truly **composable, multichain infrastructure** with powerful governance and runtime modularity. I’m especially drawn to:

- The **FRAME** architecture and ability to write domain-specific runtimes  
- Governance V2 and its real-world implications for scalable DAO mechanics  
- XCM and cross-parachain automation, a space I’d love to build tools for

This is the kind of technical and community environment I want to grow in.

## 🧠 Commitment

- I align fully with the Fellowship’s values: decentralization, transparency, and constructive collaboration  
- I’m eager to contribute meaningfully to runtime-level engineering, governance tooling, and developer onboarding  
- With a background in automation and token economics, I aim to bring real-world insight and rapid prototyping skills to the ecosystem
