I always knew I’d end up in something big—something loud, disruptive, maybe even a little insane. Figured it’d be a major Web3 project. Never thought it’d be an AI company. But here I am, leading Web3 at NeoWorlder. I’ve been in crypto since we were trading Bitcoin in forums and Ethereum was just a whitepaper. I’ve seen it all—Mt. Gox, ICOs, DeFi summer, the NFT craze, FTX blowing up. And yeah, I saw a lot of it coming. Not because I’m lucky, but because I actually read protocol docs the way most people read gossip blogs.
I didn’t follow hype. I focused on what matters: token design, real-world use, and building systems that don’t collapse the second the music stops. That’s why I stay away from sketchy yield farms and fake “communities” with broken setups. So yeah, I always thought the future would be pushed forward by Web3. But I didn’t expect the thing that actually clicked to be a Web3 + AI product. That’s why the idea of joining the NeoWorlder team made sense—because it’s not just another project chasing buzz. It’s the first one that feels built for the future I’ve been talking about all along.
That’s what brought me to NeoWorlder. I work on the Web3 side, helping build the tools, design the mechanics, and brainstorm how this tech can actually work in the real world. It’s not just meetings and roadmaps. It’s real ideas, real build time, and room to challenge everything. I get to break things, rethink them, and actually ship. I’m surrounded by people who aren’t afraid to scrap what doesn’t work and try again. It’s one of the few places where Web3 and AI don’t feel like buzzwords—they feel like tools we’re using to solve problems that matter. So yeah, it’s been solid. No fluff. Just work that pushes forward.
One of my first projects at NeoWorlder was working with Johnny Walker on Versa—the Web3 wallet for the entire ecosystem. At the start, it was just an idea: we needed something that could actually handle real on-chain activity. A wallet that let users stake $MDR (Multiverse Drawing Rights, an Ethereum-based token), manage plot NFTs, move funds, and connect with Ethereum—without bouncing between different tools. Versa became that. Simple, reliable, and built for people who actually use Web3. Working on it with Johnny was the moment I realized NeoWorlder is building something special. With Versa almost out of R&D, I’m proud of what we’ve built. What I want people to get from Versa is simple: one wallet that does the job. Staking, connecting to Ethereum, managing assets—all in one place. It’s clean, easy, and made for real use. That’s the point.
Helping shape the governance system at NeoWorlder was one of those projects that actually made me slow down and think. We weren’t just building voting tools—we were building a way for the community to control the platform without it turning into a popularity contest or a whale playground. Two rounds: one based on how much $MDR you stake, the other where every commercial account gets one vote, no matter how much they hold. Fair. Clear. Balanced. What I like most? It’s real. You can propose changes. You can vote. And if the proposal passes, it goes live. No empty promises. No “community input” that gets ignored. It’s not perfect, but it’s one of the few systems I’ve worked on that feels like it actually gives power back to the people using it.
I wasn’t heavily involved in NeoWorlder’s NFT mints—plots, story drops, Prism NFTs—but I did get to test out the Arena, now known as the Prism. That’s where $MDR gets minted, and honestly, it’s a solid setup. It’s not just a basic “click to mint” kind of thing. There’s a structure to it—chance, timing, and a bit of strategy. It made minting feel less like a cash grab and more like something you actually interact with. Clean concept, and it works.
One of the projects I’m most excited about right now is the Persona Key Game I’m building with Sigmund Holtz, another key player in the Web3 space and head of Web3 at NeoWorlder. It’s part game, part experiment. You’re talking to an AI persona, trying to convince it to give up a private key that unlocks real crypto. But it’s not random—the persona’s trained to only release the key during one secret 8-hour window. Players have to figure out when that is, and then make their move. I love this kind of challenge. It’s got strategy, risk, real money on the line, and it forces people to actually engage with AI and Web3—not just passively use it. This one’s gonna catch a lot of people off guard.
Crazy thing is, I dropped out of a biochemical engineering program in university. Yeah, the kind of course where people end up building cancer drugs or working at CERN—because I couldn’t stop thinking about how tech like this would change everything. Everyone thought I was nuts. But now? I get to help design a game that merges AI, Web3, virtual worlds, strategy, and real-world incentives. Feels like I made the right call.
