Ivan Alberquilla

CTO and engineer with 15+ years across traditional finance, DeFi, and AI agents. I build tools that make blockchain data understandable and useful.

Co-founder & CTO at Pond3r — combining LLMs with on-chain data so anyone can analyze DeFi protocols in natural language. I also write about yield dynamics, capital flows, and DeFi portfolio construction.

1Tx — DeFi Abstraction Layer

Founder

Abstraction layer that compresses multi-step DeFi yield strategies (bridging, swapping, depositing) into single atomic transactions. 1-click deposits, systematic rebalancing, and tokenized vaults. Includes an API for AI agents to operate DeFi strategies programmatically. Built on Uniswap V4 hooks. Participant in Uniswap Hookathon UHI8.
