Progress During Hackathon
During the hackathon, I built Meridian, a production-ready institutional RWA yield orchestration platform on Mantle. The core idea was to combine compliant RWA tokenization with autonomous, AI-driven yield optimization in a way that institutions could actually use.
On the smart contract side, I deployed and verified six contracts on Mantle Sepolia. This includes an ERC-3643 compliant RWA token with built-in transfer restrictions, an on-chain identity registry for KYC and AML, a compliance module to enforce rules at the protocol level, a Yield Agent that executes strategies autonomously using Chainlink Automation, a strategy router that can allocate capital across multiple yield sources, and an ERC-4626 compliant yield vault. All contracts are live and working together as a complete system.
For portfolio optimization, I implemented an AI-driven analysis layer that evaluates real yield opportunities using multiple risk factors such as TVL, protocol type, stablecoin exposure, and APY sanity checks. The system calculates Sharpe ratios to compare risk-adjusted returns, enforces diversification across protocols and asset types, and outputs institutional-grade metrics like expected returns, gas costs, and recommended rebalancing frequency. On top of this, I integrated GPT-4o to translate these analyses into clear, human-readable strategy explanations.
The platform doesn’t stop at recommendations — it actually executes. Users can deploy a strategy with a single click, triggering batched on-chain transactions. The system analyzes real wallet balances, validates KYC status and gas availability, and walks through multi-step flows like approve and deposit with live progress tracking. Errors are handled gracefully, with clear feedback instead of failed transactions.
I also built a visual agent builder that allows users to design autonomous yield strategies using a drag-and-drop interface. Triggers, conditions, and actions can be configured visually, along with risk parameters like slippage limits, gas thresholds, and rebalancing rules. These agents can then be deployed on-chain directly, and users can start from pre-built institutional strategy templates instead of configuring everything from scratch.
The full application is built with Next.js 15 using the App Router, with Wagmi v2 and Viem for blockchain interactions and RainbowKit for wallet connectivity. Supabase is used to maintain a secure KYC audit trail and compliance records, while shadcn/ui and Tailwind power a clean, institutional-grade interface.
On the compliance side, I implemented a complete KYC workflow. There is a manual KYC review API where an admin can approve or reject users, an on-chain identity registration step performed by a registrar wallet, and a full audit trail stored in Supabase. Document storage is integrated so compliance data is both verifiable and traceable.
From an API perspective, the platform is largely production-stable. Out of ten endpoints, nine are fully functional with a 90 percent success rate. These include real-time yield discovery, streaming AI chat recommendations, portfolio analysis with Sharpe ratios, contract deployment status, live DeFiLlama integrations covering 24 pools across nine protocols, agent performance metrics, and full KYC status and audit endpoints.
Technically, the system supports institutional-grade features like diversification scoring on a 0–100 scale, gas-optimized batch transactions, and rebalancing schedules that adapt to different risk profiles such as bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly. All yield data is live, sourced from DeFiLlama, with on-chain wallet analysis and TVL tracking across roughly $10.6 million in available liquidity.
Overall, Meridian demonstrates that compliant RWA issuance, automated portfolio optimisation, and real on-chain execution can be combined into a single, usable platform. Institutions get faster issuance and automated compliance, investors get hands-off yield strategies backed by real data, and compliance teams get a transparent, auditable system instead of manual workflows.
