Over the past year., through my work on the project, I have been able to establish business agreements with project partners and become one of the most recognizable artists in the ecosystem.

  • Optimism CIS - web3 and decentralization, what any progressive community strives for. However, with an ethos like CIS it is important to maintain integrity and a unified direction in the development of ecosystems and projects. That’s why we created OP community, designed to unite more than 200 million people from 9 countries around the world, living all over the globe.
  • OPMerch - I was inspired by the philosophy and global idea of the project to attract more users to the ETH network, by creating a unique solution on L2 for millions of users. Therefore, my team and I decided that the inspiration and creations we make for OP should be able to materialize for every follower.
  • Optimism Gaming Center is the gaming hub of the Optimism ecosystem. Its primary objective is to provide a fun and engaging experience to the community, while also promoting community engagement.

  1. Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Governance Fund grant -
    In general, grants are a source of attracting new users to the ecosystem and maintaining it. New applications, new developers, new users and new services. It allows people to realize their bold ideas and get support from the ecosystem in return for a good project.
    However, I wouldn’t deny promising projects that are already in active development and showing some solutions and impact. (Perhaps such projects need some new direction for grants)

  2. What types of Mission Requests do you think will help achieve the Season 5 Intents?

  • Increasing the ease of user interaction with the ecosystem

  • Attracting artists and designers to the ecosystem
  • Improving accessibility of grant applications
