Manuel Wedler
Manuel is a member of Argot Collective, an Ethereum Foundation spin-out working on compilers and developer tooling, where he builds source-code verification infrastructure for the Sourcify project. Most recently his focus has been Onay, a local signing companion that verifies transactions on your own device, and the Ethereum Foundation’s Clear Signing Initiative, where he co-maintains the open descriptor registry and develops an ERC-7730 decoding library. He has worked in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2018, on open-source projects such as Raiden Network and Beamer Bridge.
Session
A single contract interaction quietly trusts half a dozen remote services: an RPC, an explorer's "verified" badge, a served ABI, a simulation API, a wallet's decoder. Using a working open-source prototype, this talk shows you how every one of those layers can be verified locally on your device instead, and what still runs on trust.
