As one of the first hires at BitDAO, I've seen our ecosystem grow and adapt in the face of changing market conditions. From our initial strategy as a product lab building dApps, we quickly realized the market need was lower in the stack: better blockchain infrastructure. This prompted our writing of the original Mantle proposal (https://discourse.bitdao.io/t/archived-bit-network-an-iterative-modular-chain-approach/2988), and our focus on developing "BIT Network" as a modular layer-2 with an improved DA solution. Now as a full-time contributor at Mantle, I act as the sole product manager. My responsibilities include: managing our product roadmap, delivering on protocol research (tokenomics, zkEVMs), co-development and integrations with key partners (Eigenlayer, zkEVM), and organizing team processes around data-driven strategies for ecosystem growth to ensure long-term scaling of BD, DevRel, and engineering efforts. I believe in Web3 as the business model for open source, and in cryptography as the fundamental technology for restoring digital rights to the users of the internet.
