Innovation is a team sport. With the inclusive and collaborative conversations, I'm optimistic our collective action will transform our society for a better tomorrow. A Big THANK YOU to the 200+ global allocators, family offices, crypto traders, venture investors and outlier innovators who joined our 3nd Annual Web3 Investor Day in #Chicago last week. This community is our strength. I'm privileged to be a small part of this powerful ecosystem. Our goal with the conference was to convene meaningful conversations, valuable connections and deep relationships. Quite different from other conferences, we were intentional about bringing the leaders with different perspectives on the Web3 use cases. These perspectives are non-consensus, early and uniquely mainstream. The mainstream is uniquely Chicago and the Midwest. Our conference theme, "Transformation to a Fresh Tomorrow," points to the substance in conversation and action that drive Web3 innovations forward. We are early days in seeing this innovation impact the mainstream and the possibilities seemingly limitless. Releasing soon - Video replays of our panels for the broader community to enjoy. Stay tuned! Special appreciation to our sponsors and esteemed speakers.

🚀 The Bybit x SOLV Protocol partnership and their "bbSOL Maxi Rewards" initiative is a game-changer for Web3. It’s a bold reminder that collaboration—not competition—is the key to unlocking mass adoption. Financial NFTs and gamified rewards like these don’t just attract users; they create participatory ecosystems where everyone wins. The takeaway? Web3 thrives when platforms work together to reduce barriers and amplify value for their communities. What strategic partnerships do you think will shape the next era of decentralization? Let’s discuss. 🌐 #Web3Innovation #DeFiEcosystems #CollaborativeEconomies

Not every Web3 project needs a token. Too often, promising projects add tokenomics to secure funding or fit into the standard crypto blueprint. But with every token we add,  the ecosystem becomes a bit more diluted. But maybe it’s time to rethink how we support the best ideas in Web3. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been speaking with launchpads, KOLs, community leaders, and advisors, and one thing is clear: token fatigue is real. The investor community wants to back projects that bring tangible value but is tired of the same old narrative. That’s why my team is focused on building a utility layer that enables trusted projects to unlock value, promote cross-platform collaborations, and deliver real benefits to users and investors alike. Instead of fractionalising our economy further, let’s prioritize building Web3 solutions around projects that show real promise. #opentokeneconomy #apestogetherstrong

A New Chapter Begins. After 4 years and 8 months of pouring my thoughts, heart, and energy into building CosmWasm and Confio, it’s time for me to move on. Someone once called me the "mother of CosmWasm"—a title I wear with pride! This incredible journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together. When I joined in January 2020, there were only 3 of us: Ethan, Simon, and me. Even before the company was formally established, I was contributing to the growth and success of CosmWasm, helping to transform it from its earliest days into a key player in the ecosystem. I spearheaded the branding, established our websites and social media platforms, and organized the first community calls and developer workshops in 2020. These efforts laid the foundation for expanding the CosmWasm developer community and set the stage for future growth. From securing our first major deals with Terra and Osmosis to recruiting Tgrade validators in 2021 and 2022, I’ve been deeply involved in every aspect of Confio's growth. I also led the successful CosmWasm Academy project and organized the first-ever CosmWasm events in Seoul. Interacting with developers throughout this journey has been one of my greatest joys, constantly learning new things and gaining insights from the talented people in our community. This experience enriched my role and fueled my passion for the ecosystem. One of my proudest achievements was growing the CosmWasm Twitter following from 0 to over 20k. Building this community was crucial in spreading the word and gaining traction within the Cosmos ecosystem. In 2023, I played a key role in navigating Confio through a challenging financial crisis, raising over $2M and proving our tech stack as one of the four pillars recognized by the Interchain Foundation. I’m proud to have helped secure community support from Hub, Osmosis, and Terra. In 2023 and 2024, I organized 1 conference and 2 hackathons, raising over $300k by contacting more than 100 entities. Securing sponsorships was especially tough during the financial crisis and after the FTX incident, but everything went smoothly and was praised by sponsors and participants alike. I was also the key contributor in closing CosmWasm Subscription deals. As I look to the future, I’m excited about the possibilities ahead. With a strong network and proven track record in business and marketing within the Cosmos ecosystem, I’m eager to bring my expertise to new challenges and opportunities. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Let’s stay connected—I’m always open to collaborations and new ventures.
