Symmetric Finance.
Stephen led protocol engineering and live operations for a Balancer V2-based financial protocol across Telos, Meter, Taiko, Artela and Etherlink.
Balancer V2 infrastructure across five networks.
Symmetric brought governable AMM infrastructure to Telos, Meter, Taiko, Artela and Etherlink. The protocol combined Balancer V2 pool architecture with the governance, incentives, indexing and interfaces required to operate it in production.
Protocol engineering and live operations.
Stephen led protocol engineering and operations across the Symmetric stack: architecture, smart contracts, pool infrastructure, governance, incentives, indexing, SDKs, frontends and network deployments.
The work continued after launch, including migrations and recovery work on systems holding live liquidity.
A complete AMM stack.
- Vault and pools — Balancer V2 vault integrations, weighted pools and stable pools.
- Governance — vote-escrowed governance, gauges and emissions distribution.
- Incentives — programmable rewards connected directly to pool strategy.
- Data — subgraphs and pipelines for pools, swaps and governance state.
- SDKs and interfaces — integration libraries plus swap, pool and governance applications.
- Deployments — network configuration, releases and production operations across five chains.
Grants and ecosystem integrations.
- Balancer — grant-funded protocol development.
- Tezos — grant-funded ecosystem development.
- Taiko — custom 80/20 TAIKO/ETH locking infrastructure with Trailblazers integration.
- Revolv — an extension of the architecture with yield-accelerated pools, bribe-marketplace mechanics and lending integrations.
Shipped and operated in production.
Symmetric is the clearest record of Stephen's ability to own a financial protocol beyond its contracts: five deployments, live operations and ecosystem-funded engineering across the surrounding stack.
