Adedayo Oreoluwakitan Osaruonamen is a Nigerian software developer, ethical hacker, penetration tester and blockchain developer whose work spans software engineering, cybersecurity and Web3.
He is currently associated with Avantizon, a UK technology company focused on connecting small and medium-sized businesses, freelancers, entrepreneurs and users through an online marketplace. UK corporate records identify Oreoluwakitan as an active director of Avantizon Ltd, with his appointment recorded on February 24, 2026.
He has attracted fresh attention because of his work on a Blockchain Honeytoken Wallet Monitor, a cybersecurity system designed to detect suspicious activity by placing monitored decoy wallets in locations where compromised credentials might be discovered.
The project gives a useful window into the direction of his career: building software while applying cybersecurity thinking to emerging technologies such as blockchain.
Why Is Adedayo Oreoluwakitan in the News?
Oreoluwakitan’s current visibility comes from his blockchain-security project.
The system uses a honeytoken wallet — essentially a decoy cryptocurrency wallet that should not receive legitimate activity — as an early-warning mechanism. If someone gains access to the wallet or interacts with it, the unexpected transaction can signal that credentials or infrastructure may have been compromised.
In a reported demonstration, Oreoluwakitan used the Ethereum Sepolia testnet and deliberately exposed the private key associated with the test wallet before initiating a simulated transaction. The monitoring system detected the activity and generated an alert.
The significance is not that the system can magically stop crypto theft. It cannot.
Its value lies in changing the detection problem.
Instead of asking a security system to determine whether an ordinary wallet transaction is suspicious, a honeytoken establishes a simpler rule:
this wallet should not be touched.
An unexpected interaction therefore becomes an immediate reason for investigation.
What Is a Crypto Honeytoken?
A honeytoken applies the logic of a cybersecurity honeypot to a specific piece of information or digital asset.
A normal cryptocurrency wallet may legitimately send and receive funds. That makes unusual-activity detection difficult because legitimate and malicious transactions can sometimes look similar.
A decoy wallet has a different purpose.
It is created specifically to be monitored.
Oreoluwakitan’s project uses that principle to create a blockchain-based tripwire. The system monitors the wallet and records activity involving it, providing a signal when the supposedly unused address is accessed or involved in a transaction.
The approach is particularly relevant to blockchain security because cryptocurrency transactions generally cannot simply be reversed by a bank after an attacker has moved the funds.
But the project has clear limits.
An attacker has to discover or interact with the honeytoken for it to generate a signal. It therefore complements rather than replaces stronger security measures such as private-key protection, hardware wallets and multisignature arrangements.
Adedayo Oreoluwakitan’s Cybersecurity Work
Cybersecurity is one of the more established parts of Oreoluwakitan’s professional profile.
His LinkedIn profile describes him as an ethical hacker and penetration tester in addition to being a software and blockchain developer. It lists CompTIA Security+, Cisco training in cybersecurity and networking, and cybersecurity training completed through Oeson.
His publicly listed technical interests include web application security, penetration testing and blockchain security.
That combination is significant because his career is not confined to building applications. It increasingly involves considering how applications, credentials and blockchain systems can be attacked and monitored.
The honeytoken project is therefore consistent with the cybersecurity direction already visible in his professional profile rather than an isolated experiment.
His Education and Entry Into Technology
Oreoluwakitan’s public professional profile lists Middlesex University, where he completed a First Class Honours qualification between 2024 and 2025. It also lists an Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering from APTECH Computer Education, issued in April 2024.
His public profile also lists Introduction to Cybersecurity and Networking Basics certifications from Cisco, as well as CompTIA Security+.
The profile published alongside the current honeytoken coverage says his interest in coding began at age 11, when he used Scratch. That account also says he later moved into more formal software engineering and cybersecurity training.
The early-coding story is useful context, but the more important career pattern is the progression from software development → security → blockchain security → technology entrepreneurship.
Adedayo Oreoluwakitan and Avantizon
Oreoluwakitan is also part of the team behind Avantizon, a UK technology marketplace.
Avantizon describes itself as a platform for small and medium-sized businesses, freelancers, entrepreneurs and other users, with services spanning marketplaces, educational resources, community features, analytics, marketing and project-management tools.
The company was incorporated in the UK on August 23, 2024. Companies House records show that Oreoluwakitan became a director on February 24, 2026. The company is classified under SIC code 62090, covering other information technology service activities.
His professional profile places him within Avantizon while describing him primarily through software development, ethical hacking, penetration testing and blockchain development.
This creates an important second dimension to his profile.
He is not only developing security technology as a technical exercise; he is also involved with a technology company attempting to build a commercial platform.
Avantizon’s public company profile describes the platform as a marketplace intended to help businesses and freelancers expand beyond their local communities.
The company’s public updates also indicate that it had attracted more than 200 users before its stated UK launch and that its founders announced a first investment round at a reported £1.6 million valuation. That valuation is a company-level claim and should not be interpreted as Oreoluwakitan’s personal wealth.
The company was founded in 2024, according to its LinkedIn company profile.
UK corporate records independently confirm its existence and active status.
From Software Development to Blockchain Security
The most interesting part of Oreoluwakitan’s career is the convergence of three disciplines.
Software engineering gives him the ability to build applications.
Cybersecurity gives him the perspective of someone trying to identify weaknesses before an attacker exploits them.
Blockchain development places those skills in an environment where transactions are public, programmable and generally difficult to reverse.
The honeytoken project sits precisely at that intersection.
Rather than trying to build another cryptocurrency application, he is exploring how a security mechanism traditionally associated with computing environments can be adapted for blockchain wallets.
That is a more revealing description of his professional direction than simply calling him a “crypto developer.”
What Does Adedayo Oreoluwakitan’s Honeytoken Actually Do?
The system monitors a decoy wallet and watches for blockchain activity involving it.
In the reported test, Oreoluwakitan used Web3.py to create a decoy Ethereum address and Python-based monitoring to observe activity on the Sepolia testnet. When the deliberately exposed wallet was used in the simulation, the monitoring system detected the event and produced an alert.
The underlying logic is straightforward:
Create something that should never be touched → monitor it → treat any interaction as suspicious.
The advantage is contextual.
Traditional transaction monitoring often has to analyse whether an otherwise legitimate-looking transfer is unusual. A honeytoken removes much of that ambiguity because the monitored wallet has no legitimate reason to be active.
What Are the Limits of the System?
The honeytoken is not a complete crypto-security solution.
If an attacker compromises a valuable wallet without discovering the decoy wallet, the honeytoken has nothing to detect.
The current project is also a test environment rather than evidence that the system can independently protect production cryptocurrency infrastructure at scale.
The reported project itself identifies potential future improvements including faster event delivery, additional alert channels, persistent databases and support for multiple blockchain networks.
That distinction matters.
The strongest claim supported by the evidence is that Oreoluwakitan built and demonstrated a prototype security-monitoring approach, not that he has solved cryptocurrency theft.
Where Adedayo Oreoluwakitan Is Now
As of the latest available public information, Oreoluwakitan’s professional identity is spread across software development, cybersecurity, blockchain development and entrepreneurship.
His public profile lists him in London and identifies Avantizon among his professional experience.
UK corporate records confirm his role as a director of Avantizon Ltd and identify him as Nigerian.
At the same time, his blockchain-security work points toward a professional interest in building tools that do more than detect problems after damage has occurred.
The honeytoken idea is fundamentally about early detection.
That may prove to be the more important thread running through his work: building technology while thinking about how that technology fails, how it can be attacked and how those attacks can become visible before they become expensive.
