Khalid Nasiru
I ship DeFi protocols, smart contracts, and the interfaces that make them usable.
Focused on production-quality code — from gas-optimized Solidity to pixel-precise React. I care about the full stack: architecture, UX, and on-chain correctness.
About
Who I am
I'm Whiteghost — a frontend developer and Solidity engineer focused on building clean, useful, and well-structured digital products.
I work at the intersection of interface design and on-chain engineering. Whether it's a DeFi protocol, a billing system, or a content platform, I care about the details that make software feel intentional.

Featured Projects
Engineered a non-custodial vault that automates yield distribution entirely on-chain — no admin keys, no off-chain cron jobs.
Designed and deployed a Solidity vault system where users deposit ERC-20 assets and accrue yield through an on-chain accounting model. Reward distribution is triggered permissionlessly, staking logic is isolated in a separate contract to reduce attack surface, and the React frontend uses Wagmi hooks to abstract all contract interactions behind a clean UI.
Replaced trust-based payment agreements with verifiable smart contract logic — escrow, milestones, and subscriptions without intermediaries.
Built a billing protocol that handles recurring subscriptions, milestone-based escrow, and dispute resolution entirely in Solidity. Fund release is gated by on-chain conditions, not manual approval. Integrated RainbowKit for seamless wallet UX and Next.js for the client dashboard, keeping the interface simple while the contract handles the complexity.
Cut cross-border transfer costs by routing remittances through Base L2 — fast finality, low fees, simple UX.
Remittance product deployed on Base that makes cross-border payments accessible without requiring users to understand L2 mechanics. The contract handles routing and settlement; the frontend exposes a minimal send flow. Focused on reducing friction at every step — from wallet connection to transaction confirmation.
Brought programmable payment logic to the Stellar network using Soroban — enabling treasury management and conditional transfers at near-zero cost.
Payment infrastructure built on Stellar's Soroban smart contract platform. Implements multi-sig treasury controls, programmable transfer conditions, and low-latency settlement optimized for emerging market corridors. Rust contract logic is paired with a React frontend using the Stellar SDK for transaction signing and submission.
Community
Open Source
I contribute to the tools I rely on — from Ethereum client libraries and wallet SDKs to smart contract frameworks and UI primitives. Most contributions are documentation, type correctness, and edge-case fixes: the unglamorous work that keeps ecosystems healthy.
wagmi-dev/wagmi
TypeScript type fixes and documentation improvements for the most widely used React hooks library for Ethereum.
shadcn-ui/ui
Identified and helped resolve component accessibility issues affecting keyboard navigation and screen reader support.
drips-network/app
Frontend integration work and smart contract interaction patterns for a decentralized open-source funding protocol on Ethereum.
rainbow-me/rainbowkit
Bug reports and documentation clarifications improving wallet connection UX across EVM-compatible chains.
foundry-rs/foundry
Documentation contributions covering Forge test patterns and gas snapshot workflows for Solidity developers.
stellar/js-stellar-sdk
Clarified Soroban contract invocation examples and corrected TypeScript types in the official Stellar JS SDK.
OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts
Reviewed and flagged edge cases in ERC-4626 vault implementation documentation during audit preparation.
wevm/viem
Contributed type-level improvements and usage examples for low-level Ethereum client interactions.
