The BIG 'introduce yourself' thread

Hi, I’m Matthew Light.

My background is software development and architecture as well as crypto trading and finance.

I have been involved in Ethereum since 2016. I wrote EIP-186 which the community approved and which was added to EIP-649 and went live with Byzantium in 2017.

I have been heavily involved with other issuance and monetary policy EIPs which were adopted by Ethereum.

I have a current focus on Ethereum’s credible neutrality and fostering the development of credibly neutral Ethereum infrastructure extensions such as L2s, bridges, staking infrastructure, MEV, and restaking. I believe that community stewardship and ownership of these aspects of the broader Ethereum platform is critically important to avoid capture of the protocol by private interests.

I am also interested in fostering an improvement of Ethereum community norms away from value extractive activity (PvP) towards growing the ecosystem’s potential and opportunity (PvE).

I also have a particular interest in the Ethereum staking situation. I pushed hard before the beacon chain went live to “bend the curve” to discourage excess staking based on the experience of other proof-of-stake platforms.

In my view, we already have far too much staking (15% would be pretty optimal) and staking / liquid staking / restaking at current levels (31%) growing towards 50-85% staked as we see in other proof-of-stake platforms carries heavy risks to the entire platform and to the the projects built on it.

I would like to collaborate with the community to put a hard stop to the growth of staking and even look at ways to gradually reduce it over time to a limit of ~20% of total ETH.

Hey, you can call me “Anak.”
I currently located in Thailand.
I did computer science for my undergraduate degree and AI for my master degree.

Now, I am urrently working as a quant developer at Yuanta Security. My department responsible for 200M dollars AUM.
My goal is to be an expert in Asian market specialized in Thai market.

Thai market has been underperrforming due to political instability and a decade steady rise of Vietname lessen Thai market share of its southeast Asia market.
For this reason, Thai investors demands for global asset allocation is at all of time. In response, I am taking initiative to become an expert in Crypto space specialised in Ethereum ecosystem and, to my best ability, using knowledge to inform Thai investors of investment opportunities in the Crypto space.

Hi. I’m Rob. I’ve been building stuff on ethereum since 2016 but got much more serious about contracts in the past 18 months. My company has developed a useful stack and several apps on top and I’m interested in standardizing much of what we’re doing.

Hi. I am 33357. I am a smart contract developer. I have worked on DeFi, robots, NFT, and have written many technical articles.I hope to make greater contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem

Hello!

I’ve been hard at work improving layermarket.xyz, an online marketplace to buy and sell business assets on top of Ethereum and Layer 2 networks, based on user feedback and market trends before launching on mainnet.

Here are some key updates:

  1. New Payment Options: We’ve expanded our payment capabilities to include stablecoins. This addition provides users with more flexibility and stability in their transactions.
  2. Enhanced Documentation: We’ve created a comprehensive “How to Use” guide, specifically designed for users new to L2 applications. This guide aims to make the onboarding process smoother and more accessible for all users.
  3. Updated Testnet Contracts: We’ve deployed new smart contracts on our supported testnets (Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism).
  4. Testnet Stablecoin Integration: In line with our new payment options, we’ve successfully integrated stablecoin functionality on our testnets. This allows users to test and familiarize themselves with stablecoin transactions in a risk-free environment.
  5. Overall Documentation Updates: We’ve updated the copy throughout our documentation to reflect our niche focus on being an L2 marketplace for digital business assets, to reflect updates to interfaces for specific smart contracts, and more

Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster. Currently I am the product lead for the Eco protocol but have been in the space for more than half a decade. I absolutely love the Ethereum community and the builder culture y’all have fostered. Really excited to participate more actively to make the protocol we all love even better.

Hi everyone!
My name is Sarvad I’m a software engineer at a web3 startup, currently as an iOS engineer currently with 3yrs+ professional experience, Ive gotten into the whole crypto ecosystem about three years back(better late than never haha), while working for the company im currently at I got introduced to ethereum and started learning about smart contracts which really fascinated me hence I got into solidity.

So I’m here to learn from you all and improve my knowledge base on ETH specifically trying to make a shift towards smart contracts

tech stack im familiar with:

  1. Swift (native iOS dev)
  2. python
  3. javascript/typescript
  4. next js
  5. solidity (still learning)

Heyo!

I’m Raviel, a blockchain enthusiast since the golden times of SIlkroad in university haha :))

Started my more serious journey into this world in 2018 working in the industry as one of the first companies to deal with 721, early, early NFTs and I’ve been in the filed in one way or another ever since.

I’ve been recently contacted by a group of victims from the 2017 Parity lock drama to help them form a group/community & start working on an EIP that could prevent similar debacles and also unlock their funds.

Unfortunately, I’m not a dev nor super-technical but fortunately this forum exists.

I’d love to connect with anyone with experience and expertise to get an EIP from draft to review. We definitely need any help possible.

Best regards,
Raviel

Hi, I am Alejandro Santander, aka Ethernaut.

I’ve been a developer for ~20 years, the last ~7 in Ethereum.
Before crypto, I’ve done creative coding, 3D engine design, audio engine design, iOS, web, and probably forgetting something.

I started out as an auditor in OpenZeppelin, having audited all kinds of stuff, including the Solidity compiler once. I then moved on to writing tooling and contracts in Aragon, before getting to know a bit of DeFi with Synthetix.

I founded the EthernautDAO and am now fully dedicated to education and public goods.

Hey there, first time caller and listener.

I go by Technically Web3 or TW3, but my friends call me T Dub.

I am a TikTok creator who is looking to educate the world about blockchain technologies and build a community of developers.

I recently had a video blow up on TikTok talking about my web3 protocol and browser project. We modified a browser to render html from a smart contract.

I have built upon the initial prototype contract and now have something I consider worthy of an EIP!

I plan to start a discussion or reply to a thread about my project and EIP!

You can find a generated ERC Draft on my GitHub repo if you can’t wait that long!

Hello, my name is Carlos Tapang. I have a startup that uses Solana in its business, but I just thought of proposing a meta EIP for stabilizing the purchasing power of ETH. I have been in the crypto world since 2011.

I bought ETH during its ICO in 2014 (2015?) and used my gains to start Rock Stable (sendroks.com).
