Priya covers the engineering layer of crypto for TheWeal — smart-contract architecture, MEV, on-chain forensics, and the bridges and rollups that move value between L1s and L2s. Her work translates engineering decisions into risk language that compliance officers and institutional allocators can act on.
Before TheWeal, Priya worked in blockchain security audit, leading code reviews on protocols collectively holding billions in TVL. She came to journalism from a research and engineering background, and presents original analysis on cross-chain risk at industry venues. She does not invest in single-token projects she covers.
