I’m transitioning to a Tendermint advisor

It’s been a 3.5 year saga and it’s time to close out this epic novel. I went from writing blog posts to spearheading Cosmos community and brand building efforts to land, finally, on restructuring a team into one that invests in Cosmos DeFi projects. I’d been given room to evolve while on that team, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.

Over the latter half of last year, I found myself more and more interested in DeFi products as well as protocols that enable a decentralized web. Naval recently woke up to the macro trend that the next frontier of censorship-resistant technology resides in the Internet evolving to enable the transfer and exchange of social graphs and self-sovereign identity—human readable names backed up by cryptographic primitives. That’s where my interests lie, and that where I’ll be hanging out.

Going forward, I’m transitioning to becoming an advisor to Tendermint as well as a few other DeFi projects that are launching in Cosmos. This transition lets me focus more on and directly contribute to those macro trends that I outlined above. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ll be continuing to work in the cryptosphere because this is a movement that I believe is the most important one that will impact our generation. You can find me focusing on Interchain DeFi, Interchain.fm, and building out the unstoppable web. The work to make the Internet a freer and fairer place never ends.

See you in the cryptosphere 🌗
