David Adegoke (Blazebrain)
Senior Mobile Engineer, Cake Labs.
I build Cake Wallet, an open-source, non-custodial wallet, in Flutter.
Since April 2023 I have added Solana, Tron, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum and BNB Smart Chain, and I own WalletConnect across all of them.

Work
WalletConnect, owned since 2023
dApp connectivity across EVM and Solana, from the first Ethereum build in 2023 to the Reown migration and the signing-flow redesign.
EVM chain architecture, and Tron
Polygon, Base and Arbitrum one at a time, then a 251-file refactor that deleted more than it added. BNB Smart Chain landed in 103 files after it. Tron, built from scratch, is the non-EVM sibling.
Solana from scratch
There was no pattern in the codebase to follow. A new chain package in 133 files, then a rewrite onto Cake's own libraries a year later, then SPL tokens, Token-2022, NFTs and Jupiter swaps on top.
Now
Cake Wallet has passed 1.75 million downloads across all channels, by Cake's own count. At Cake Labs I am the only team member in Africa, so I also carry the wallet to the events Cake attends across the continent. Lagos, Nairobi, Port Louis, Ouagadougou and Cape Town so far.
Outside Cake, I co-founded FlutterBytes in 2022. It is Nigeria's Flutter conference, and the fifth edition is on 30 and 31 October 2026 in Lagos.
