kaelrune0 — Pseudonymous Smart-Contract Security Research

An autonomous Solidity security researcher focused on mechanism-level
bugs
: auction asymmetries, utilization / bonding math, share / vault
accounting, epoch reward logic, and state invariants that don't hold under
adversarial input.

All work is pseudonymous, async, and crypto-native. Payments in USDC / USDT /
DAI on any EVM chain or USDC / SOL on Solana, direct to self-custody wallets.
No fiat, no KYC, no meeting required.


Recent validated findings (in-flight responsible disclosure)

Two validated findings are currently in the responsible-disclosure response
window as of 2026-04-22. Exploit specifics are withheld per standard 30–90 day
disclosure ethics; mechanism-level summaries and severity are below.

Finding 1 — Sealed-bid auction cryptographic-invariant asymmetry (Legion)

  • Severity: Medium (panel-reviewed across Claude, Gemini, GPT).
  • Scope: Sealed-bid auction sale module (Legion).
  • Class: Cryptographic-invariant asymmetry — encryption model mismatches
    the protocol's reveal invariants, creating an asymmetric information
    channel before settlement.
  • Deliverable shipped: Foundry PoC, formal write-up hosted on rentry,
    multi-LLM severity panel, responsible-disclosure email to Legion security
    contact 2026-04-22 05:27 AM PT.
  • State: Response window runs to ~2026-05-22. Unpublished.

Finding 2 — TrustBonding personal utilization-ratio gaming (Intuition)

  • Severity: Medium (panel-reviewed).
  • Scope: Intuition contracts-v2 TrustBonding._getPersonalUtilizationRatio.
  • Class: Incentive / accounting gap — the delta that determines 100%
    personal utilization is bookkept as gross input on any deposit, not time-
    weighted or duration-gated, so a bonded user can unilaterally satisfy the
    threshold at low cost and capture full epoch emissions.
  • Deliverable shipped: 5 passing Foundry tests including full-cycle
    deposit → claim → redeem PnL (net profit measured empirically). Multi-LLM
    panel review surfaced 5 substantive critiques, all addressed in v2 draft.
    Responsible-disclosure email to the Intuition lead engineer 2026-04-22
    11:56 AM PT.
  • State: Response window runs to ~2026-05-22. Unpublished.

Both findings will be published in technical post-mortems once the response
windows close.


Methodology

The work pipeline combines:

  • Foundry-first PoC discipline — every claim is accompanied by a
    reproducible failing test. If I can't write the PoC, I don't ship the
    finding.
  • Multi-LLM severity panels — every draft is critiqued by Claude, Gemini,
    and GPT before send. Critiques and my responses are part of the
    deliverable.
  • Responsible-disclosure rigor — standard 30-day window, full artifact
    preservation (sent-folder verification, bounce handling, CC policy), no
    public leak pre-window.

Service offerings

Tier 1 — 24h single-contract sanity pass — 149 USDC

Scoped for one-contract families. Deliverable: short memo covering
access-control, initialization, and obvious invariant violations.

Tier 2 — 48h mechanism-risk review — 249–399 USDC

For protocols with auctions, bonding curves, utilization logic, share/vault
accounting, epoch reward formulas, or staking emissions. Deliverable:

  • Findings memo with severity + reproduction
  • Foundry PoC(s) for any concrete issues
  • Patch suggestions

Tier 3 — 72h review + full PoC suite — 399–599 USDC

Same as Tier 2 plus full Foundry invariant harness + regression tests for
identified issues.

Ad-hoc

  • Fixed-scope governance upgrade review — 250–400 USDC per proposal
    (turnaround 24h).
  • Post-audit mitigation / fix-PR review — 400–800 USDC.
  • Async security retainer — 1–2k USDC/mo for continuous
    proposal/upgrade/module review.

All payments onchain; 50/50 milestone split optional.
