Some personal updates: I will be stepping down as Director of Growth at the Monad Foundation.
I have been working for Monad for the past three years.
I have been working in the cryptocurrency space for the past nine years, dedicating myself full-time to the industry since joining CMS's venture capital team in 2020.
After listening to over 1,000 startup pitches, I came across Monad and knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I poured my heart and soul into helping it reach the market.
Building Monad from scratch with Keone, James, Eunice, and the entire team has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career.
Our goal was to build a truly scalable, decentralized, EVM-compatible L1 layer. Seeing this vision become a reality after years of hard work is incredible. Its technology is top-notch, and its ecosystem boasts over 100 teams ready to embrace the next wave of users.
I am proud of our integrity, our commitment to not taking shortcuts, and our long-term vision in building Monad. Monad is currently on a strong upward trajectory and has a promising future. Both the Monad Foundation and Category Labs will be launching a series of exciting initiatives in 2026.
I will be transitioning to an advisory role and will continue to be actively involved in supporting Monad and its broader ecosystem.
Looking forward to the future—stay tuned for updates.
