Un Huh

Founder of Skew Labs. Self-taught builder from Seoul. I work mostly alone, with AI doing the detailed implementation and me owning the architecture and the plan.

Software Projects

skew.deals

• Permissionless perpetual futures on Solana. Anyone can list a market. Worst-case loss is escrowed before a trade goes live, so the venue cannot go insolvent.
• ~700 users · ~$210K volume · ~$20K revenue (self-reported; on-chain records on request)
• Archived venue (2026-07-01): https://web.archive.org/web/20260701114235/https://skew.deals/markets
• Perp engine (partial source): https://github.com/skewlabs2/skew-perp-engine
• Whitepaper: https://github.com/skew-labs/Aether-whitepaper

Economic Machine / FAAT

• Runtime that lets AI agents trade inside typed policies and hard capital limits. Every action leaves a receipt. Mainnet pilot on Arbitrum.
• 2nd place, GWDC 2026 Korea TRON Challenge
• https://github.com/skew-labs/economic-machine
• Working paper: https://github.com/skew-labs/economic-machine-research

Low-latency nodes & MEV

• Operate ultra-low-latency Solana nodes on rented bare metal.
• Studied and modified a Firedancer/Agave execution path for prediction-market execution. Planned the architecture and staged the changes.
• MEV research and live MEV operations.
• Private. Walkthrough on request.

ZeroDrift

• One no_std Rust state-transition function compiled to both a native executor and a RISC Zero zkVM guest, fuzzed against each other until a single bit of divergence halts the run.
• https://github.com/skew-labs/zero-drift

Skew Options

• On-chain OTC options for Solana: RFQ fills, portfolio margin, Pyth settlement. Ships an npm SDK and an MCP server so an AI agent can trade an option in one prompt.
• https://github.com/skew-labs/skewarchive

Ticking

• Solana trading terminal where AI reads the chart for you. On a DEX every trade is public, but nobody reads that flow. Ticking does.
• First version ran on Robinhood Chain. Selected for Arbitrum Founder House, Oct 23–25, 2026
• https://ticking.dev
• https://github.com/skew-labs/ticking

Strike

• Verification coprocessor for clearing systems: multi-oracle aggregation, private margin attestation in AWS Nitro enclaves, ZK predicate research.
• https://github.com/skew-labs/maedup

Also

• flex-os, autonomy for energy-constrained AI infrastructure: https://github.com/skew-labs/flex-os
• Sinabro, local self-evolving multi-LoRA agent: https://github.com/skew-labs/Sinabro
• Dol, 3-tap market-neutral yield: https://github.com/skew-labs/dol
• Rally, creator markets on Monad: https://github.com/skew-labs/rally

Hackathon Wins

Colosseum Frontier Hackathon, Korea side track

• Second Place, Skew (options exchange). Built with a high-school friend: he did the quant models, I did the Solana contracts.
• https://x.com/SuperteamKorea/status/2072992261357609369

GWDC 2026 Korea, TRON Challenge

• Second Place, FAAT. Same friend, same split.
• https://www.tokenpost.kr/news/insights/416396
• https://github.com/skew-labs/gwdc2026

Programs

Arbitrum Founder House

• Selected with Ticking, Oct 23–25, 2026
• https://x.com/arbitrum/status/2113460925906976912

Now

• Ticking, a trading terminal where AI reads the chart for you. Live on Solana at ticking.dev.
• Moving toward what software alone can't copy: execution infrastructure, hardware access, customers.

How I Work

• I set the architecture and the plan, split the work into small changes, and direct AI through them.
• Every change has to match a reference implementation, bit for bit, before it merges.
• AI still loses context on large projects, so the whole plan stays with me.

Tools I Use

Formal Education

Physical Education (sports science, sports data analysis), Chung-Ang University, Seoul
Two years, currently on leave

There Is Work To Be Done

I know how to teach myself an unfamiliar technical field and turn it into a working system. Next I want to learn how to find customers, build relationships, and turn that work into a company that lasts.
