Ishaan Hiranandani

Ishaan Hiranandani, Ishaan 0x, is Ecosystem & Strategy at EigenLayer. I'm a dreamer and tech strategist who believes in a future of interconnectedness - computers with one another, and information as a whole. Whether through empowering small businesses to raise funds via blockchain or detecting counterfeit drugs in Africa, I aspire to optimize my personal impact through paradigm-shifting technologies. Previously, I built MeldX, a platform that connected small businesses with retail investors to crowdsource equity funding. Now? I'm helping founders in DeFi, crypto infrastructure, DAOs, and blockchain. If you're building and want advice - even if you're not ready for funding - message me! We're all playing the same game: building a new financial system. I'll help where I can, whether that's protocol design or UX feedback. Outside of tech, I love hosting an Instagram cooking blog, pretending I can dance hip-hop, and running my dog (or is he running me?). Above all, I love meeting cool people.
