I’m @OneTrueKirk, decentralized finance enthusiast, garden appreciator, and father. This site is the home to my personal writing about any and all topics of interest. For articles specific to the now-deprecated Volt Protocol v1 or the in-development Ethereum Credit Guild, visit my Substack. You can also join us on Discord.

If you are attending Ethereum Denver and have created any original research or technical work related to decentralized finance, even work in progress, please apply to the second Credit Salon at this link. Submissions will be posted here after the initial round of review. The Credit Salon is a small gathering where practitioners discuss topics of mutual interest and provide peer review. I am not partial to the big conference venues and crowds, but enjoy the chance to meet fellow enthusiasts in person.

You can view the submissions for Credit Salon 2 here (links are to are my reviews, which also contain a link to the original submission):
