Yesterday was my last day at
@SnapshotLabs
Absolute pleasure to work with the team for a year and go from an investor to COO to help the team move from its pre-PMF days to get to a very solid base to tackle its next challenge
Quick personal update🍍
Over the last 4 years, I've dedicated most of my time to helping early-stage founders build funky things
Some with great success, and others went down in flames
Generally, it's been exhilarating and empowering others has been my professional North star
I'm happy that
@zachxbt
keeps people accountable
Indeed, it's the Foundation's job to pay attention to whatever they promote and doing thorough dd should be something common everywhere
Why you need to try all the apps on
@StarkWareLtd
today:
- no bridges
- testnet
- airdropS
0 cost, unlimited upside.
Look at all the uniswap, opensea and aave killers there are, guess how they raised money? 🍍
If you’re russian and work in web3 and had issues with work/got fired because of where you are, please dm, web3 is borderless and I’ll personally make sure you get a job asap 🍍

I've joined

If you're curious or are looking to join an amazing team, my dms are always open 🍍
A thread 🧵
0/ Sybil resistant airdrops have turned into an arms race.
We had no idea what we were up against when we started designing the Hop distribution.
Here’s how we filtered out over 10,000 Sybil attacker addresses and enlisted army of Sybil hunters to find the rest 👇
Proud of the team, if you haven’t yet looked at what they’re working on I can only repeat it: go look at it
@HerodotusDev

We are proud to be working together with

@mrjasonchoi
I still believe a team should partner up with background check agencies and use a bit of zkp to deploy a badge saying “we’re clean”
Being anon is fine as long as you prove you’re a good player
Gnosis is a clear example of why people matter more than the product they’re building
Honestly one of the most innovative and grounded team in the industry

The way you express what flashbot can do seems to be very similar to what we like to call a centralised point of failure ser
Had a long discussion about the fact that centralised wallets win because of better UX in multichain worlds and problems with seed phrases

Artifica docuit fames 🍍
We’ve been in a bear for 1-1.5y already lol.
So many cool projects are being built. A ton of new primitives and solutions have been shipped.
But we are still far from being able to enable applications and have a decent user experience.
Idk when things will work better but 2024
We've been doing so aggressively and for a moment already hehe🍍
