Sithu Nyein

Web3 & AI Engineer · Yangon, Myanmar

I build blockchain infrastructure, AI applications, and prompt-engineered systems with Python and Rust. Right now I spend my time hunting Superteam bounties and exploring blockchain & security research.

Selected Work

03 projects
01

Ohlarr

Private payment rails for autonomous agents.

2026 · Privacy Track

x402-compatible HTTP payment protocol letting AI agents pay for APIs with sub-second, encrypted settlements on Solana — built on MagicBlock Private Ephemeral Rollups (Intel TDX TEE). Drop-in seller middleware + buyer SDK.

02

Blind Omnichain Vault

Bridgeless + blind cross-chain vault.

Colosseum Frontier

The first Solana vault that custodies native BTC / ETH / Sui / Zcash without bridges via Ika 2PC-MPC dWallets, and executes strategy on fully encrypted state via Encrypt FHE — no validator or MEV bot can see holdings or trades.

03

NovaPay

Private payroll for Solana, built on Cloak.

Colosseum · Cloak Track

Pay your entire team in USDC, USDT, or SOL — amounts and addresses stay off-chain via Cloak shielded UTXOs and Groth16 proofs. Auditors get scoped access through viewing keys; the public ledger sees nothing.

About Sithu Nyein

I actually started with an English degree from Pathein University— I grew up in Myanmar where my first love was language, and for years I thought I'd spend my life parsing sentences, not stack frames.

Then I completely fell in love with tech. Somewhere between rereading literature and discovering my first terminal, the line between human grammar and machine grammar blurred. Code felt like another dialect — the most precise one humans have ever invented — so I taught myself to write it. I'm now studying Computer Science at the University of the People while shipping in parallel.

Today I build blockchain infrastructure, AI applications, and prompt-engineered systems in Python and Rust. I love talking about the Solana ecosystem, high-performance systems, and new ways to build cool things. Right now I'm hunting Superteam bounties and shipping for hackathons in the Colosseum Frontier ecosystem — most recently across the Cloak, Encrypt × Ika, and MagicBlock privacy tracks.

I came into engineering through a side door. My first career was in digital marketing— the Google and Meta certificates in my credentials are from that life. The deeper I went, the more I wanted to be the person building the systems instead of promoting them. That's what pulled me into Web3 and back into a CS degree.

The arc I'm optimizing for: independence first. I want to walk a founder / freelance path, work as a blockchain & security researcher, and eventually pursue a fully funded PhD in Computer Science. The end goal is to help build the cryptographic infrastructure for an internet where autonomous agents transact privately and provably. Coming from a country where most opportunities are gated by geography, I treat every line of code as an act of leverage.

Outside of code: I walk a lot, listen to music, live quietly on my own, read research, think too much, and play games when I let myself.

Let's build something.
