Hello
My name is Will Barthell. I am a software engineer and algo crypto trader. I mainly enjoy building things. I am fascinated by all things AI and crypto.
Below are a few of my projects

Projects
Crypto Trading Bot
Running since 2024
- Python
- Hyperliquid L1
- Perps
- DEX
$45M+ USD Volume through Bot
Built an automated crypto trading bot on Hyperliquid's native perps DEX, leveraging its Layer-1 architecture for low-latency execution and real-time strategy deployment. The system is designed to support a range of algorithmic strategies, focusing on dynamically adaptive models that respond to liquidity shifts. Extensive backtesting to optimize for consistency and drawdown control to make back losses from erratic manual 50x leverage BTC perps.

Fatality
2024
- Hyperliquid L1
- Base L2
- Full Stack
- Smart Contracts
- Firebase
- Docker
- CI/CD
- dApp
Fatality is a blockchain-based gaming platform built with a Next.js frontend and Node.js backend that enables players to participate in cryptocurrency-powered battles. The system features a dual token economy with both on-chain and off-chain tokens, allowing users to connect their Web3 wallets via RainbowKit, authenticate using SIWE (Sign In With Ethereum), and wager tokens on character battles. The frontend utilizes TypeScript, Chakra UI, and Redux for state management, while the backend leverages Firebase/Google Cloud infrastructure including Firestore, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Tasks to orchestrate the game flow. Games progress through multiple timed rounds where players can add tokens to support characters, with automatic winner calculations and payouts distributed from the pooled pot. Additional features include a referral system with token rewards, leaderboards tracking user performance, and comprehensive game history. The application is containerized with Docker, deployed via Google Cloud Build, and supports multiple environments with a CI/CD pipeline. This full-stack solution integrates traditional gaming experiences with blockchain technology, creating an engaging platform where users can chat during games, track their balances, and participate in a tokenized gaming ecosystem.
Seed Phrase Scambler
2024
- Private Key Sharding
- Full Stack
- Cryptography
This encryption system functions as a decentralized approach to securing seed phrases by effectively sharding the necessary components required for decryption. Instead of storing a single point of failure, the encryption process depends on a combination of user-specific inputs — including a prime number, a chosen index, and a Fisher-Yates–shuffled remapping — along with a securely stored hashed decryption ruleset.
Each of these elements is essential, but none of them alone is sufficient to reconstruct the original seed phrase.
Example Flow:
The encrypted seed (ciphertext) is stored locally or wherever the user chooses.
The decryption ruleset is stored in a secure remote database, protected and hashed.
The user's original inputs (prime number and integer) are known only to them and never stored.
This fragmentation ensures that even if one component is compromised — such as the encrypted seed — the attacker still lacks the cryptographic logic and original seed structure to reconstruct the phrase. In practice, this mirrors the principles of Shamir's Secret Sharing or M-of-N key splitting, where multiple pieces must be recombined to access the original secret. However, the main difference is that this system uniquely does this with algorithmic components and logic rather than raw seed phrase slices.

2024
- Solana
- SPL-Token
- dApp
- Full Stack
- MongoDB
- Tokenomics
- Smart Contracts
Fully functional Solana dApp with functioning Windows desktop clone (mini games + file explorer), Phantom wallet connection, coin flip game.
Note: I deleted the database so Leaderboard and ticket system are not functional.
