Hey there! I’m Mihai Dancaescu, but I usually go by ‘yakuhito’ - or ‘yak’ if you’re in a hurry.
Currently, I’m knee-deep in the Natural Sciences College at Minerva University, where I’m pursuing a concentration called ‘Cells and Organisms.’
In the past few years, I’ve been pretty active in the Chia ecosystem. Here are some of my highlights:
- FireAcademy.io, the chain’s first RPC provider
- TibetSwap, the chain’s first AMM
- warp.green, a cross-chain messaging protocol between Chia and Base/Ethereum (the chain’s first bridge)
Before that, I was extremely passionate about security. I obtained my OSCE3 just a few days before turning 18 (you know, when OffSec was cool) - making me the youngest person to get it. I was a member of HTsP and helped organize a few CTFs - X-MAS CTF 2019 being the one I’m most proud of. I was also part of Team Romania in the context of the European CyberSecurity Challenge for 4 years - 2 of which I was selected captain.
