3K+ verified wallets and 36K+ onchain actions in 4 weeks, from a raw 14K and 125K. At least 1 in 7 of the wallets active on the L1. Before that, 10 years in L1s, including 7 scaling one of the most decentralised proof of stake networks in Web3 as it peaked at #3 by market cap. Validators from 175 to 3K+, 0 to 2K+ projects, 22K+ developers educated, and one of the largest onchain treasuries in the industry. The network today has 6K+ validators securing it for 3M+ wallets, and 1K+ dReps governing it for 86K+. I built Input Output's ecosystem function from nothing, running a lean team of 5 to 10 as the company evolved from a research and engineering firm into a venture studio. During my tenure we built an open financial operating system and handed stewardship of its 3B treasury to the community. I then led the campaign that won $190M in continuity funding from the electorate we had organised, designing and running the operating cadence across validators, developers, builders, governance, and treasury throughout. The result is the largest DAO in Web3 measured by population and participation. My network spans the US, Europe and Asia, particularly Japan, across validators, developers, builders, governance stakeholders, regional communities, investors, and strategic partners. Numbers come before strategy. I take marketing and ecosystem mandates to deliver system-wide outcomes. Visibilia ex invisibilibus.
