POW With Vzyn

Meet Vzyn, a professional Web3 contributor in NFT Community Management and Advising, and also a Social Media Manager at  @SuperVerseDao

What were you doing before Web3?

Before I began working in Web3 full time in 2021, I studied Marketing in College and had an early career in the Finance Industry. Shortly after diving head first into NFTs with my roommates, I took the leap! Currently, I am the Social Media Manager for Super Studios (Impostors, GigaMart, SuperVerse).

How did you get into Web3?

All throughout college, I was interested and slightly invested in crypto and the blockchain tech. So once I got out of school, I started putting every check into my crypto wallet and began trading. I explored Defi and NFTs in 2021 and decided to make my own project, raising $50k at a $250k valuation.

What was your first crypto or NFT project?

My first Web3 project was a Gaming NFT called Crypto Commandos, and unfortunately after selling out a free mint collection, we failed at a paid mint attempt. We refunded everyone and put the project on hold due to the bear market, but I took the lessons I learned with me to push forward.

How would you explain what you do to someone outside of Web3?

Now, I currently work full-time as the Social Media Manager for Super Studios (Impostors, GigaMart, SuperVerse) directly under EllioTrades. When I explain to other people what I do, I just tell them I run the Twitter accounts for a couple NFT projects, make memes, plan marketing campaigns, and set up collabs.

Which creator or thought leader do you enjoy learning from?

I enjoy learning how EllioTrades operates his company from the inside, and especially how to build a community from the ground up like we are doing at GigaMart. Working at Super Studios has taught me so much about the Web3 space and working with founders like him.

What is the biggest highlight of your career so far?

The biggest highlight of my career so far would definitely be landing the position at Super Studios. I have gotten the opportunity to work with the biggest projects in the space like Impostors and Neotokyo as well as expand my network amongst many blue chip founders!

What tech or crypto trend are you watching this year?

This year, I’m bullish on ZK Rollups and the Arbitrum chain! I’ve been seeing the hype slowly stack up and I believe these will be mainstream topics this year on top of the Ai trend we have already seen.

What advice would you give someone starting out in Web3?

I always recommend my friends who are curious in Web3 to hop on twitter and start following the community to get a feel for the vibes. Buy a cheap NFT with a good community to join and learn from. Don’t limit yourself to just coinbase, the real stuff is outside!

If you could do a TEDtalk on any topic, what would it be?

I would love to do a TED talk on how to build a community from the ground up in Web3 as I have experience doing this multiple times over! Many people do not understand the importance of this key step.

What is the one thing you would bring if you were stuck on a deserted Island?

I would bring my dogs so I wouldn’t get bored lol.

POW stands for “Proof of Work.” It is a new feature article series in The Mega Maxi to highlight the savviest builders in the Web3 space.
