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. ⚔️

Biggest lesson from ETHCC.
Your event coordinator can make or break you. Location is king. Too far out, and many won't go. This is mostly day events.
Missed quite a few events because it was just too far out of the way.

2024 was a good year for me.
API3 team kicked ass
Had more responsibilities handed to me (dev life)
Got to see more of the world
Met more cool people
Returned to MMA (health/life balance)
Laughed a lot and kept it real.
Looking forward to 2025. Good vibes 🤙

You can no longer say you don’t know where to learn defi. I’m on tour. The @API3DAO team is cooking at all angles
New week, new livestream teaser 🔥
That’s right. @_emjlin is back with another epic livestream with @billyjitsu to master the basics of borrowing and lending and learn how to deploy Aave on Scroll using the @API3DAO CLI.

Another @MorphoLabs breakdown.
Built a Rate monitor to keep track of which vault has the better rate to possibly switch positions with Telegram notifications.
More importantly, breakdown how vaults and markets work and the curator's role in how APY's are calculated. Learn how Morpho works.
Avoid getting liquidated on @MorphoLabs , build your own telegram alert system.
Last week I did a dive into Morpho and setup up some decent positions as I felt there were good opportunities for me.
You know I don't "half tutorial", so here is the full details.

How is it possible that someone can go to "Web3" events ALL year long, be a panel speaker about "Web3", advise on Web3, be a "leader" but still doesn't know how to sign a multi-sig, send an NFT without OpenSea or know how to use a hardware wallet? Whatcha all talk about?😂

If you need a price feed for your dapp. @Api3DAO is literally everywhere.
14 lines of code and it’s integrated.
OEV already built in to the oracle.
No allowlist, no extra steps. You can activate a feed yourself without even talking to us.

Today marks one year being a contributor to @API3DAO Which is like a decade in Crypto years. So much has been accomplished this past year. The passion behind the team is hard to ignore, we are moving fast. I've learned a lot being in the trenches. A piece of me likes to think my contributions have helped the DAO get to where it is, if anything, at least you know API3 is on the map.🤙

Great panel talk about crypto and what I do. Got to represent @API3DAO, @developer_dao and crypto as a whole. Had a few university professors in the room. Even heard I got a shout out from the chancellor of UC Merced in their own panel 👀 which was super cool. Yes, it's true, I own more than conference t-shirts 🤣. My favorite plug "you know you could also make a stable coin using API3's price feeds" good times.
These Tech sessions have been spicy and fire! #blockchain 😂💕🎉🥳 So grateful 🙏
