DreamPad

DreamPad is a Cardano launchpad whose on-chain logic I built in Aiken, the modern smart-contract language for Cardano. The MVP-3 contract suite covers three core validators: a Pool Vault that custodies and accounts for pooled funds, a Reward Claim validator that gates and distributes rewards, and a Dream Funding Escrow that holds raise capital under explicit on-chain conditions.

The work focused on correctness and safety — designing datum/redeemer schemas, enforcing spend conditions, and validating state transitions so funds can only move under the exact rules the protocol intends. Contracts were developed and tested against the Cardano ledger model with an off-chain TypeScript layer for transaction building.

The result is a composable set of validators that a launchpad frontend and backend can drive, with the security guarantees handled where they matter most: on chain.
