Today I transitioned from contractor to full time at @coinbase
I’m excited to continue building a better internet alongside the @base team
We’ve been on recharge these last two weeks and in that time I’ve shipped two apps because building onchain is what I love to do
Im grateful that I have the opportunity to work at the intersection of my passion and a mission that will help people all over the world by increasing their economic freedom

Experimenting w interesting ways of using the smart wallet.
One idea that I am particularly interested in is leveraging the power of smart wallets to bring a familiar UX of e-commerce to buying tokens and memes.
Here is a prototype - I would love to hear feedback!

Make your wishes come true this holiday season with your holiday wishlist!
The experiment:
• users create wishlists in the miniapp
• the $wish market attracts attention and trading
• 100% of trading fees are used to purchase gifts for random wishers!

This is closer but maybe we are looking at this the wrong way… maybe we need a verb.
“Can I Venmo you?”
“Can I Zelle you?”
“Can I <onchain payment> you?”
was thinking about alternative phrases here and one that stood out to me is "Pay Onchain Here".
- is global (not just US centric)
- doesn't have baggage of crypto
- uses onchain language we know works
- makes sense online and in person
thoughts or other ideas?

My “do’s and dont’s” advice for new builders
Do’s:
1) ship something. It can be small
2) if you’re nervous about quality, add a disclaimer that says it’s an experiment, alpha, beta, whatever
3) post about what you built on X and warpcast
Don’ts:
1) don’t send cold DM’s asking if someone has time to review your work before shipping. if you want a review, give them a link to a live product
2) don’t spend a ton of time perfecting your project before shipping. It will have bugs even if you think it’s perfect.
3) don’t get discouraged — it’s about trying lots of new things

After almost 2 years of having the 🛡️ next to my username, I’m taking it off.
Shields are for defense. It’s time for offense.
Historic day at the Whitehouse Digital Asset Summit. Thanks to @POTUS’s leadership, along with @DavidSacks, the U.S. now has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and emerging regulatory clarity.
This is directly translating to economic growth in the U.S. For instance, Coinbase plans to hire about 1,000 employees in the U.S. this year as a result of this renewed growth.
We’ll continue to build this industry in America to ensure the U.S. remains a leader in technology and finance.

Calling upon all @base token communities to build this together and contribute
Vision: Buying a token on Base is easier than buying a product on an e-commerce site
Mission: Make every Base token available with Smart Wallets

Crypto is going to be the easiest way to pay online as these new tools start to mature - great demo!

I took a 5 year detour in my tech career to run People Ops at my last organization.
Why?
1. My mindset: I want to sit in the seat where I make the most impact. At that time, in that company, taking on that challenge was where I could add the most value
2. I learned a ton and I love learning
After those 5 years, I added all of the value that I could in that role and it was time to get back to my passion in tech.
Now I'm working on @base -- if I hit the lottery tomorrow and didn't need to work to survive, there is no question that I would still choose to be doing this. It's the most challenging and fun job I've ever had & I'm surrounded by people who are stuck on beast mode. It's almost 11pm and I just got some feedback on a PR and Im lowkey excited to see what it says, brb.

- your photo is a @zora coin & you earn fees on trading
- the coin is paired with a $HOTDOG Clanker where fees go to the contest's prize fund
- stake tokens to become a judge. you earn staking rewards and you are distributed the slashed funds from judges who moderate in bad faith
- users who log the most dogs win rewards from the prize fund
