I believe I was one of the most frequently hired developers on Cardano during its peak on chain period. Was I the best? Definitely not. But I had something many didn’t. I consistently went the extra mile. I would help people with zero knowledge of a subject even when it slowed down my own work. I would say yes to deals with modest compensation if it meant someone could ship their dream on chain, without being gatekept. Did bad actors try to exploit that goodwill? Yes. I blocked 99% of them but a few still slipped through. Looking at the current revenue of many of the apps I deployed, especially in dollar terms, it is almost funny. With ADA where it is today and on chain traffic near zero, there is not nowhere enough usage to sustain a full time engineer’s real life expenses from those apps alone. But that is fine. We were never building for the lifestyle. Instead we were building something bigger than ourselves. In 2024, I built @snekx_io (before even collaborating with Snek on the project) at a time when minting a token on-chain wasn’t straightforward. Today it might look like “old tech,” but let me tell you during June 2024, when the network was congested from traffic, SnekX ran flawlessly. It was by far one of the most used apps on Cardano at the time and it’s still live. In late 2024 and early 2025, the Hodlcoin implementation I built, adapted from Ergo and made plug and play for existing tokens, turned the standard memecoin into a more sophisticated holding game. Something that, to my knowledge, hadn’t been done on any chain in that form. Again, we broke records. If this had launched on Solana… you know how that story goes. But we did it here. And it’s still live and working. Another product I built was the @DanZoADA backend, which remains the only casino (across chains) offering pooled house liquidity, meaning anyone can become “the house” and earn rewards. A decentralized house for a gambling app on a decentralized network. It still pays liquidity providers every 5 days, without hiccups. I only like taking credit for projects that actually push the chain forward, things that are not just copy pasta from elsewhere. The best ideas don’t come when you’re maniacally locked in. They come naturally on a walk, when your mind is calm and the patterns connect. 🌳 After taking a breather, I think we have one more truly revolutionary product in us one built on the knowledge I’ve gained from five+ years of building, revising, consulting on and investigating decentralised applications. So I want to make it official I’m now formally one of the developers behind @NorthStarDEX and I’m backing it with everything I can offer as a Cardano veteran. We’re here to build a real revolution, revolutionizing every part of the experience. ✅ Open source ✅ Revenue sharing ✅ Refundable early ICO (if we don’t deliver, you get your money back) Because revolutions don’t start with hype. They start with people, standing together. Can we shake up things, one more time? 🫡 You can join us here: discord.com/invite/pscESSeYt…

Built a DEX. Turned it into a speedrun. Now I need the Midnight crowd to test it properly. Try the @NorthStarDEX beta and tell me what still gets in your way. One day remains to participate in the discounted presale!

Final chance! 👇

Tokens need more than a launch announcement. They need liquidity, holders and somewhere people can actually trade them. That's the ecosystem I want @NorthStarDEX to help build on Midnight.

2 days remain to hop in the discounted presale!

Posting your trades is a choice. Broadcasting your bags shouldn't be the default cost of using DeFi. This is why I'm building @NorthStarDEX on Midnight.

Excited for the future on Midnight

Have an idea for a token on Midnight? North Star's launchpad takes care of creation and minting, so you can focus on giving people a reason to use it. Few days remain to invest in the discounted ICO!

Some days the timeline wants privacy. Other days it wants the next shiny thing. I want @NorthStarDEX to be useful on both. Back to building on Midnight.

Spent months building North Star. Now I get to watch people actually use it. 5,000 orders completed in the first 4 days of mainnet beta. That's the kind of activity I want to see on @MidnightNtwrk. We keep pushing.

5,000 trades reached on Midnight mainnet!

North Star has landed on Midnight mainnet and users are already putting it to work! 3,611 orders completed in just 3 days. Median settle time: 6 seconds (the very next block)! Building on midnight-3:native has been a pleasure. We’re only getting started.

Are you paying attention to the first Dapps on @MidnightNtwrk ?

360 orders yesterday. Over 1,800 swap transactions processed by today. All in barely 48 hours. That's some serious activity on the Midnight network. And North Star is only getting started.
