It was April 2022, I grinded for some ETH projects before and hop into Solana last May 2022.

Tbh, My first mint was Sweetooth, Pengsol and Shrouded NFT.

They were a lot of leaders I admire, first was my core members Areti, Parzi, Tomi, Carnifexus and Astro but I learned more to President Charter about doing Web3 stuffs.

The biggest highlight of my career is being a co-founder of a Filo Dao called AnoDao, wherein I help them get those good WL spots and skip grinding.

My advise is, at the beginning its hard, you need some friends to be with you, you need to trust yourself for it, also make a goal to do it.
🎤 If you could do a TEDtalk on any topic, what would it be?
For my TED talk, I’d like to discuss the founders’ backgrounds, followed by what the founders are building and the project’s NFT utilities, as well as what happens if the project does not sell out and what the next step is.
🚨 What is the one thing you would bring if you were stuck on a deserted Island?
I will bring a spear so I can hunt to eat and to survive.
