I first touched crypto in March 2021. A friend asked me to help him with an NFT project, and I didn't even know what an NFT was. A weekend later, I joined NFTHack, and all I had to get started were the smart contracts and scaffolding tools by @austingriffith. Even left a small PR back then to reduce/optimize the logging: It was great times, and it changed my life. Four months later, we raised $2.5 Mio. Seed from @1kxnetwork, at a point where I didn't even fully understand how an AMM works—guess what? We entered interop in April (via another Hackathon), and I didn't have time to catch up on anything DeFi at that point. Will forever be grateful for @austingriffith @jrmr92 @Kernel0x and @ETHGlobal who were my intro into this industry (there certainly were a bunch of other people that answered the most stupid questions 10 times)

👉 help my buddy @PhilippZentner get to 10k followers!!! 🏆 he is a defi product superstar! 📖 fun story, I think I onboarded him? He showed up to a workshop in Berlin and we gave him the tools and curriculum to speedrun ethereum. 🫡 years later I ran into him in an airport and he asked me what I was up to… 💪 I said “the same thing!” and i think he got a little tear in his eye 🥲 👨‍🏫 we keep teaching and building!
