.eth stays on
Personal ETH JourneyGrowing up in a small, close-knit community, I never imagined becoming part of a global movement reshaping the future of the internet. Yet, that is exactly how I felt when I first encountered Ethereum in 2018. A small group of hardcore believers, dreamers, idealists, and techno-optimists, working together towards a better future. Back then, I didn’t really understand, nor could I ever foresee the potential of Ethereum. I’ve been in crypto for 7 years, 3 years with ENS, bui...

Except this time, the mission is even more meaningful: empowering society through AI+crypto that’s driven by the M...

Namechain ecosystem late-night thoughts
Have you ever had ideas and thoughts so intense about something you’re obsessed with that you get excited and euphoric and overwhelmed and you can’t sleep?It is my strong belief that once ENS launches Namechain it will be of utmost importance for all of us ENS contributors and supporters to work as hard as ever on cultivating the builder ecosystem and culture there. ENS as a protocol and an onchain identity primitive already has everything builders need to enable self-sovereign digital identi...
