Siyuan Han

I'm an Engineer & Researcher & Investor in AI and Crypto @Binance(YZi) Labs. Previously, as Partner and tech lead @ABCDE Labs, I led the first round of MegaETH (and put all my PhD savings in) from sourcing through exit, realizing returns equivalent to half of the fund's total capital; my personal book delivered ~7Ă— MOIC and 4.6x DPI within 2 years.

My research focuses on the intersection of High-Performance Infrastructure and Intelligent Systems. Some of my research works were published in ICDE, VLDB and SIGMOD. Specifically, I specialize in:

  • Infrastructure: High-performance Blockchain Execution Layers, Low-latency Distributed Systems, and Database Internals (Storage & Transaction Execution Engines).
  • Intelligence & Crypto: AI-Powered Autonomous Decision Systems, Novel DeFi Asset Design, and Other AI-driven Architectures.

Drawing from my background as a White Hat (Wooyun veteran), I am obsessed with deconstructing the first principles and execution logic of massive, complex systems—such as Database Kernels and Blockchain to identify optimization opportunities and maximize their performance.

I previously worked on a book regarding the Ethereum Execution Layer, but now I believe AI can do this better. I am currently building an Intelligent Automated Intelligence System (an early-stage project for technology trend and talent discovery) and an Automated Reverse Engineering Agent.

I also run a PhD scholarship initiative called Happy-Sci. Currently enrolled senior PhD students are welcome to contact me for a 200 USDT grant. The program operates on the BNB Chain and has already supported over 700 researchers worldwide.
