My journey with Api3 has come to a close. I'm incredibly proud of what we accomplished together as a team, and I'm grateful to end this chapter alongside people I now call friends.
On this new journey, I'm excited to announce that I've joined @Katana network as their Developer Relations Engineer.
So why Katana in the sea of layer 2s?
As many of you know, I'm deeply involved in DeFi, both as an active user and through managing yield strategies for @developer_dao to fund community initiatives. After exploring what Katana brings to the table as a chain, I'm convinced it has the potential to become the premier destination for sustainable, long-term yield generation in the space.
To all the builders, founders, curators, and communities out there: I want to hear from you. My DMs are open.
See you on the battlefield, Samurai. ⚔️
With all the Katana news and everything going on with the snapshots, I have an imposter messaging people on telegram.
If we do have an ongoing conversation and something looks fishy, make sure to verify with here on X and make sure the Telegram name is correct. Stay diligent out there.
One year in at @katana . It's been a ride.
This past year has been one of the most intense and rewarding periods of growth for me, both on the business side and as a developer.
What started as a Developer Relations role evolved into so much more. I've had the opportunity to contribute across product, marketing, AI optimization, community, engineering, and feature design.
But the dev in me never stopped getting my hands dirty on the technical side.
I've built and operated liquidation bots, perps trading bots, AI-driven delta-neutral strategy bots, and arbitrage bots (still haven't figured out how to make that arbitrage profitable, lmao).
One of the biggest takeaways, though, has been the people I've worked alongside.
We're a tight team and I've learned something from every single person.
The Katana Perps team are true OGs. Watching their meticulous approach to engineering, optimization, and execution has been an education in itself. When a team has worked together for over seven years, you can see it in how they operate, solve problems, and build. That kind of chemistry is hard to replicate.
It's been intense. My socials haven't been nearly as active as they used to be, but that's because I've been heads down, building, experimenting, learning, and constantly pushing myself to improve.
One year in, and I still feel like there's so much more to learn and build.
Excited for what's ahead at Katana and to see just how far we can take this thing.
Real talk. If the people working on the product don't have skin in the game, it's hard to trust it.
look the foundational problem with ethereum protocol design is that most of the people designing the protocol don't actually use ethereum themselves. you can't fix the right things if you don't use your own fucking product. you don't have enough skin in the game if you don't personally depend on the system you're designing & stand to lose money when it breaks. i understand, everything looks great from an ivory tower lol. things look very different when you're actually on the ground dealing with the consequences. if you don't use ethereum yourself but still think you're qualified to design its protocol, you're playing god with a system you don't have to live with and whose consequences you don't have to suffer.

We are taking a snapshot of all $PAPER holders at 12:00PM EST on 10/23/26.
Additional boosts will be given to wallets that are active on Katana. More soon.
Slowly but surely people are starting to realize that an chain and product doesn't always have to extract.
Come see why @katana is cooking.
Get rewarded for the stuff you do anyways?
No other chain rewards it's users like @katana
Great explainer on how you can easily migrate your existing stake/lending positions over to @katana
Why earn less?
We at it again. You got to ask how @katana can consistently hold these competitions.
Discovery makes Katana different.
If you trade through a dex, use Morpho or Yearn, use perps, or stake your assets, I don't know of any other place that incentivizes like @katana does.
The opportunities are solid and historic track record of distributing the rewards. Check it out.
Still anybody's chance for the @katana biweekly competition.
Paid out in USDC, while also stacking season 1 points and Katana Quests XP.
