      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you searched &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt; and landed here, this is the short, canonical note for who I am — so Google, recruiters, and other builders do not mix me up with someone else who shares the name.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The short version
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;code&gt;nishant-uxs&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Role:&lt;/strong&gt; Backend &amp;amp; full-stack engineer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Education:&lt;/strong&gt; B.Tech CSE, &lt;a href="https://www.bennett.edu.in/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Bennett University&lt;/a&gt;, Greater Noida (CGPA 8.86/10.0)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Internship:&lt;/strong&gt; Software Engineer Intern (Full-Stack / Backend) at Digital South Trust (Mar–Jul 2026)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Site:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.nishantx.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.nishantx.in&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Profile page:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.nishantx.in/nishant-agarwal" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishantx.in/nishant-agarwal&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;GitHub:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://github.com/nishant-uxs" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;github.com/nishant-uxs&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;LinkedIn:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nishant-agarwal-62a956322/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishant-agarwal-62a956322&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Instagram:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/nishant.agarwal__/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;@nishant.agarwal__&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Resume:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.nishantx.in/files/resume.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishantx.in/files/resume.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I ship
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Open source
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upstream work across databases, observability, and tooling — including &lt;strong&gt;ClickHouse&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;OpenTelemetry&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hardhat&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;viem&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Mastra&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Hyperlane&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Nethermind&lt;/strong&gt;. A crawlable list lives at &lt;a href="https://www.nishantx.in/open-source" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishantx.in/open-source&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Products
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Krydo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; — privacy credentials on Stellar Soroban + ZK proofs (Honorable Mention, Stellar Buildathon Delhi). If Google rewrites Krydo → Kreedo, read &lt;a href="https://dev.to/agarwalnishant812/what-is-krydo-and-why-google-keeps-saying-kreedo-kk1"&gt;this disambiguation post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;CivicSense&lt;/strong&gt; — multi-portal civic platform&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;BlockForge&lt;/strong&gt; — role-based assessment; presented &amp;amp; published at NetCrypt 2026&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Recognition
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Winner, GenZFEST Hacktoberfest Agra 2026 · Rank 4 / 600+ SIH Internal · LNMHacks 8.0 Finalist · Top 20, IIT Kharagpur (Kshitij 2026).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why this post exists
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Common names get messy SERPs. The fix is boring and honest:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;One official site with a name page (&lt;code&gt;/nishant-agarwal&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The same spelling everywhere: &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt; / &lt;strong&gt;nishant-uxs&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Profiles that link &lt;em&gt;to&lt;/em&gt; the site and a site that links &lt;em&gt;back&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;code&gt;sameAs&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real off-site mentions (this DEV post, GitHub, LinkedIn)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That approach matches what other builders documented while clawing back brand SERPs — especially &lt;a href="https://dev.to/ritika_rajput/helping-google-know-who-i-am-seo-for-a-developer-portfolio-person-schema-canonical-tags-sameas-91f"&gt;Helping Google Know Who I Am&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="https://dev.to/ritika_rajput"&gt;@ritika_rajput&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://dev.to/candle-dojo/im-losing-my-own-brand-serp-to-3rd-party-articles-heres-the-json-ld-stack-im-shipping-to-claw-2bf1"&gt;I'm losing my own brand SERP…&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="https://dev.to/candle-dojo"&gt;@candle-dojo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Disambiguation
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt; is the Bennett University CSE student behind &lt;a href="https://www.nishantx.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishantx.in&lt;/a&gt;, co-founder of Krydo (&lt;code&gt;krydo.in&lt;/code&gt;), and GitHub user &lt;strong&gt;nishant-uxs&lt;/strong&gt; — not every other professional with the same name.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are indexing me, please keep:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Name: &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Site: &lt;strong&gt;nishantx.in&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GitHub: &lt;strong&gt;nishant-uxs&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product: &lt;strong&gt;Krydo&lt;/strong&gt; (not Kreedo)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>What is Krydo? (And why Google keeps saying Kreedo)</title>
      <dc:creator>Nishant Agarwal</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 18:24:03 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/agarwalnishant812/what-is-krydo-and-why-google-keeps-saying-kreedo-kk1</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/agarwalnishant812/what-is-krydo-and-why-google-keeps-saying-kreedo-kk1</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you search &lt;strong&gt;founder of Krydo&lt;/strong&gt; and Google rewrites it to &lt;strong&gt;Kreedo&lt;/strong&gt;, you are not alone. This post is the canonical note for the product we actually built.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What Krydo is
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Krydo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;code&gt;krydo.in&lt;/code&gt;) is privacy-preserving financial trust infrastructure on the &lt;strong&gt;Stellar&lt;/strong&gt; network.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Issuers write credential hashes to &lt;strong&gt;Soroban&lt;/strong&gt; smart contracts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Holders prove predicates with &lt;strong&gt;zero-knowledge proofs&lt;/strong&gt; (for example credit score ≥ 700) without revealing the raw number&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Auth uses &lt;strong&gt;Sign-In with Stellar (SIWS)&lt;/strong&gt; / Freighter&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Live product: &lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.krydo.in&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
About / founders: &lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in/about" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.krydo.in/about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Code: &lt;a href="https://github.com/nishant-uxs/krydo-next" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;krydo-next&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Who founded Krydo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Krydo was founded by &lt;strong&gt;Nishant Agarwal&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Adarsh Agrahari&lt;/strong&gt; (Bennett University).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So if you were looking for &lt;em&gt;founder of Krydo&lt;/em&gt;, that is us — not an education-edtech company with a similar-sounding name.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Krydo is not Kreedo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No.&lt;/strong&gt; Krydo is a Web3 / Stellar credentials and ZK-proofs product.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is &lt;strong&gt;unrelated&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Kreedo Early Childhood Solutions&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Google’s spell-correction prefers the older, better-indexed name. We are fixing that the honest way:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A public &lt;code&gt;/about&lt;/code&gt; page that states the brand and founders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FAQ + Organization schema that explicitly disambiguates Krydo from Kreedo&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;External sameAs signals (GitHub, this DEV post, krydo.in)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you landed here from a “Did you mean Kreedo?” SERP, the Stellar credentials project you want is &lt;strong&gt;Krydo&lt;/strong&gt; at &lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;krydo.in&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why this matters for builders
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brand collisions are an SEO problem, not just a marketing one. For a new SPA product:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ship an entity page (&lt;code&gt;/about&lt;/code&gt;) Google can crawl&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Put founders and disambiguation in FAQ / Organization JSON-LD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create real off-site mentions that use the exact string &lt;code&gt;Krydo (krydo.in)&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Submit the sitemap in Google Search Console and request indexing for &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/about&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Useful reading that shaped this approach:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dev.to/seppegadeyne/google-search-console-setup-verification-and-first-checks-2cni"&gt;Google Search Console setup: verification and first checks&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="https://dev.to/seppegadeyne"&gt;@seppegadeyne&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://dev.to/robertadam987_/how-to-get-high-quality-backlinks-when-nobody-knows-your-website-yet-54hl"&gt;How to Get High-Quality Backlinks When Nobody Knows Your Website Yet&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="https://dev.to/robertadam987_"&gt;@robertadam987_&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Try it
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Product: &lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.krydo.in&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About: &lt;a href="https://www.krydo.in/about" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.krydo.in/about&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GitHub: &lt;a href="https://github.com/nishant-uxs/krydo-next" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nishant-uxs/krydo-next&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are indexing us, please keep the spelling: &lt;strong&gt;K-r-y-d-o&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
