Supercharging the Community

What can we do to supercharge our community? A few months ago our community was in its infancy. We had just concluded the TGE and everything was new. Community is the bedrock of Sanctum. Without our users, we have nothing. I wrote this a few months ago is still relevant: Some of the best stuff has come out of community just going ahead and doing stuff without getting the go-ahead from the team… I think this is an excellent opportunity to practice community capacity-building:, which I define …

This is a place for the Sanctum-aligned to introduce themselves. We should never forget that in crypto we are all people, all with our hopes, dreams, and fears, and we should always support each other.

Here are some suggested questions:

• Who are you?
• Where are you based?
• Socials / doxxed wallet address?
• What’s your story?
• What brings you joy? Other than crypto?
• What’s top of mind for you right now?
• What are you most afraid of right now?
• How can Sanctum help you most?

Feel free to post any photos, videos etc. Please note this should not be an advertisement: we want to know who you are, not what coins you own.

Please only post introductions here. Please keep discussion to Cloud Community Corner – Discussion so this thread remains easy to scroll through!

[Bengshark]

Who are you?

Hi guys I’m bengshark, ready to help you with anything you need! I’m based in Indonesia right now, in Surabaya city

What’s your story?

I start crypto journey from late 2017, we make ETH miner in Semarang. Got broke because of the bear market, then I focus on few online and offline businesses. Found my passion on healthcare ligthed because of my passing family, but I dont have any capital to make a clinic. So we start on making a online laboratory service. We do it diligently by saving money bit by bit for 4 years and right now we have 2 offline clinics in Surabaya

What brings you joy? Other than crypto?

Best feeling when patients in need joyfully say thank you for our services.

My daughter wake me up in the morning every 5 am with a smile (yeah she’s my living alarm clock)

What’s top of mind for you right now?

Grow healthSOL benefit so its not just benefiting people in needs, but all people in crypto spaces especially sanctum community

What are you most afraid of right now?

Already give my private key to my wife, so I don’t mind if I die tomorrow

But sometimes I’m afraid on living meaningless life

I shared with @fplee too the other day, why I dont have any investors in my clinics because I’m afraid on disappointing them if my clinic goes to the ground. But I guess with healthSOL, I got holders as Investors right now.

How can Sanctum help you most?

Keep innovating, keep giving value to the community, expand and lets unlock 90% of locked staked SOL together

[JaunePomme]

Who are you?

Hi boyz, JaunePomme here, the yellow duck from Pokemon !
Based in Europe, France. Half asian here,

What’s your story?

Started crypto around 2017-2018 but had no salary at that time.
Few years after got scammed by Celsius so lost pretty much 80% of my capital !
Then I stopped and came back in early 2024, learnt Defi and now I’m here !
Tired of hunting airdrops, I’m here for the juicy fun and to enjoy the vibes. Money will come so, just enjoy the present !

What brings you joy? Other than crypto?
Badminton ! Family ! T1 winning matches ! And contributing to projects at my scale like a bit of dev for Hyperlane repository on Github, building a web project as a side hustle, relearning my japanese kanjis so I can enjoy lightnovels and mangas again !

What’s top of mind for you right now?
Contributing at my scale as a dev or with my skills in languages (Japanese or French) to help people. Feels good to help people. Not at a big scale like Benggie doing but yeah as I can with my skills ! I believe making a small difference is still a difference.

What are you most afraid of right now?
Losing money again in crypto, feeling useless to projects, failing my side hustle, getting injured at badminton.

How can Sanctum help you most?
Keep building and keep helping people. Sanctum is a bridge to help people through its tech. It’s motivating me to help Japanese people and to hone my web skills. And indirectly, Sanctum bringing nice people to the board, it’s spreading good vibes (love the emojisssss), and it fuels me so thanks !
Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s heading to the right direction !

PS: I’m still waiting for some role to get a colorful name on the discord, I want my yellow color to match my pfp

[Hipnox]

Who are you?

Hi, I’m Vinicius, I live in São Paulo, Brazil, married and father of two boys, Arthur 6 (have down syndrome), Guilherme 4.

What’s your story?

I discovered the crypto market in 2021, at the time of the pandemic, I understood how fragile we were, and I was afraid of dying and leaving my children without a good structure, especially my firstborn who has down syndrome, and in the blockchain I found more than a way to give them a better structure. I feel pleasure being here, I learn every day, I grow stronger emotionally, I make connections with other people.

What brings you joy? Other than crypto?

As I’m Brazilian, I love football hahahaha, I like good food, I like playing with my children, spending time with my wife, father,mother, brother, talking to friends.

What’s top of mind for you right now?

continue to evolve mentally and physically, learn more and more, interact and connect with more people, only 2% of Brazilians invest their money, I want to be able to help in some way, teach what I have learned in recent years, show a new path.

What are you most afraid of right now?

My firstborn depends a lot on me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave a structure for him, and burden my youngest son, but I know I’ll be able to, unless I die first hahahahaha

How can Sanctum help you most?

keep creating ways for people to connect, keep seeing people as unique individuals, not just numbers, people are very lonely in this market, and most relationships are cold and commercial, I’ve been following Jupiter since the beginning of 2022, and I I feel a similar vibe here, you are doing a great job, I have no doubt that Sanctum will soon be the top LST TVL on Solana, and I will always be here to help.

[nicshodln]

My name is Nic and I’ve been in the only chill part of Arkansas since 2010. NWA specifically Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas, is a very progressive area and consistently ranks as one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
We’re home to Walmart, Tyson, Simmons, Acumen, and many other notable companies which accounts for the area being such a boom. Because of this we have a LOT of techies here and blockchain conversations are so common that when you overhear one you don’t even feel surprised.

I’ve been in crypto since the end of 2016-maybe Jan 2017 when I was mining BTC on an old Dell desktop I salvaged from my wifes grandmother when she upgraded and it was still profitable. I ended up giving the PC to her uncle and never bothered to get the couple of BTC off or remove the harddrive, it wasn’t worth it at the time

I have 3 daughters and a wife that bring me joy and a lot of headaches and empty wallets. My wife and I run our insurance business from our house, I have a print studio for screenprinting and a wood shop where I like to create things. My grandfather and dad were both mechanics so I have every tool known to man and spend my time not getting paid for fixing everyones sh17 because I’m a nice guy and they suck
My wife and I try to go to every concert we can at the AMP, love going to the Walton Art Center to catch productions and comedians, going to see Mark Norman Sat I believe if he doesn’t get cancelled first for knowing Tony Hinchcliffe
I’ve never seen a bad day to be on the boat fishing.
In another life I was a photographer and I still like to dabble with my Nikon D850 but it almost lost all of its joy when money was attached.

Currently I’m stressing over our property. We just bought 4 acres to build our forever home on, it sits on top of a mountain outside city limits and it’s beautiful, but we’ve had nothing but issues with everything else that comes along with it.

WW3 or the normalization of hate in the US are my only concerns right now. I won’t get political but I just wish everyone around the word minded their own fucking business and quit worrying about what other people do with their life. It’s so insane that anyone gives a shit about who someone prays to or doesn’t, who they love, what they wear or listen to,what color they are, where they came from, etc. Just live your life and keep walking if you don’t like something, your opinion isn’t needed on everything. If these countries at war did this then there would be peace, just leave MFs alone and respect their borders.

I really love this project, it has become more than a dApp for LSTs since talking to the people behind the scene, at least those in here and on socials. I’m currently building a dApp and releasing an NFT collection but it’s on Cosmos/IBC so Sanctum can’t really help me with anything. But what can I do to help Sanctum? I’m currently making Clodies for Discord and the community NFT project and I’m hoping to start up a local meet and a library beginners course like the beginner NFT art class I taught. People around here are very interested in blockchain when it’s presented to them, it’s just a matter of presenting it in a fun and interesting way.

If I can do more, feel free to ask. If I have the time and expertise for it then I’ll bite.

[Skyiop]

Who Are You
Hi guys, I’m skyiop. I’m just starting to learn about sanctum and other LST projects, so I’m still a beginner haha. I’m from Indonesia, specifically from Surabaya. Nice to meet you all guys!

What’s your story?
I started learning about crypto 6 months ago but wasn’t very serious about it. I learned about tokens, fundamental and technical analysis in the crypto market, so I didn’t know much about web3 and projects within token ecosystems. I was just investing, but my investments were quite small, so the profits were small too. That’s because I’m still in school without any income. So that’s my story.

What brings you joy other than crypto?
Well, I imagine in the future, I can earn quite a lot of money in the web3 industry, and I’m still learning about everything related to it.

What are you most afraid of right now?
Illness, because health is more important than money, and being poor is also one of my fears hahahahaa

How can sanctum help you most?
Sanctum provides a platform for people including myself where they release innovations that not everyone has, and I’m very grateful to be part of sanctum because the community is supportive and provides knowledge that I didn’t have before. Great jobs sanctum!

[zionatlas]

Hey! I’m ZionAtlas and I’m based out of Washington State!

My story of getting into crypto was one of finding out about cardano through a local barista. Got my toes wet there and learned all about crypto that way. Heard about Solana and wanted to try something different as I was frustrated by the kinda barbaric system especially for minting nfts. You would send your ADA to a posted address and hope it wasn’t a scam or you typed in the wrong address…

Didn’t really learn about lsts until sanctum started and happy I did.

As far as what brings me joy? My family. My wife and 3 little kids bring me the most joy. We love to travel and especially me and my son love to go Rockhounding on the weekends. We’re traveling all of us to Spain this winter around Christmas time so very excited for that!

Ultimately that’s why I got into crypto. I saw what I hoped would be an opportunity to better the lives of my family. I have what I consider a good job but even it is just enough to pay the bills! Crypto and sanctum specifically has greatly changed my families life and I’m very grateful for it!

Top of my mind lately is a huge project at work. I have to manage quite a few employees and meet a tight deadline. Definitely stressful. If our company doesn’t meet deadlines it’s liquidated damages of 50k USD a day. So very serious!

Sanctum has gone above and beyond to help me. All that needs to be answered now is how I can help sanctum!

[scarletdeath]

I’m Alice, from Seattle originally from Nashville. I’m a performance artist, qualia engineer, and harsh noise musician. I’ve a massive interest in technology, philosophy, and free markets and originally started dabbling in crypto over ten years ago. I’m @scarletdeth on X and shamesoiree.sol / deathOS.sol are my two primary Solana addresses. Getting new music gear / plugins brings me a lot of joy. Right now, what’s on my mind is planning what I’m going to do for the rest of the day. (Lunch? Movie?)

The number one thing I’m afraid of is fear itself. FDR was right.

Sanctum is pretty rad: I applied for a creator coin and participated in season 1 of wonderland. I’m mostly just hoping for more utility and perhaps riddles in season 2 that I might actually be able to solve.

[Fuhadsol]

Wanted to do this with y’all, but i like to stay anonymous as much as possible

[luciotamino]

Hello! My name is Lúcio Tamino (a double name, so you can call me either one). I was born in 1982 and live in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil. I have a deep love for nature, science, travel, and all forms of art. My six-year-old daughter, Idja, is the main focus of my life. Growing up in a family of renowned artists, I learned a great deal from them and eventually became an artist myself. I work with a wide range of techniques and themes, including traditional art, digital art and photoshop, photography, etc. I’ve been sharing my work online since the days of Fotolog (2003) and DeviantArt (2004), moving on to Facebook, and now Instagram and X. Here’s a self-portrait I painted in oil on canvas a good while ago:

Over time, I developed a strong critique of how society functions, particularly regarding individualism, which cultivates a sense of competition, making the world cold and unfair, alongside the relentless destruction of our environment. Because of this, my daughter’s mother and I moved to the city outskirts to live next to the rainforest, where we stayed for 15 years. Idja was born there, and those years immersed in nature taught me so much about plants, animals, astronomy, geology… I cultivated many plants and specialized in wild edibles, incorporating them into our daily meals while developing projects on the topic. Around that time I had a website/blog where I expressed my thoughts about life. The experiences I lived there, and in my travels, connected me deeply to the natural world and brought me a profound sense of fulfillment. My greatest passion is nature, from its grand cosmic manifestations to its tiniest intricacies.

Here’s a painting I created in acrylics on canvas, capturing the place I lived in.

Making a living from art in Brazil is very challenging, and I have never had a good and stable income, especially since I’ve always focused more on passion and purpose than profit. I first encountered crypto in 2021 during the NFT boom, primarily as a creator, but I didn’t dive deeply into the space. After some serious personal challenges, I returned to the city in 2022.

In 2023, I created my first significant NFT collection, “TINT.a”, which I’m really proud of, though I still struggled to find connections within the crypto space. Now I’m bringing the rest of this collection to Solana. I’m also creating an NFT collection with Idja.

Here’s an artwork from my TINT.a Collection, originally created with watercolors on paper.

On early 2024, I finally took some crypto classes to understand the space better, and it completely blew my mind! During the course, I was encouraged to join Sanctum’s Season 1, and that’s where everything came together. I was immediately drawn to Sanctum’s simplicity, its beautiful and playful atmosphere, and its engaged community. The Wonderland quests were also unique and engaging, making Sanctum feel like so much more than any other DeFi protocol I had interacted with up to that point - and it still does!

The more I learned about Sanctum and read fp lee’s texts, the more I saw my own ideals reflected back - especially the belief in prosperity for everyone. It’s about reimagining a world that works differently from the one we were taught. For me, Earnestness echoes some of our oldest forms of community, where collective well-being was truly valued. Reviving those principles today feels revolutionary!

Before, I was struggling to see a way out of the difficult situation I was in. But now, with Sanctum, I feel like things are finally turning around. Next year, I’ll be able to enroll my daughter in the school I’ve been hoping for, and we’ll improve our quality of life in ways that truly matter - like eating better and improving our living conditions. This change is priceless to me, and I’m forever grateful.

I truly feel that new horizons are opening up, and this journey, along with all the friends I’ve made in this space, the positive reception of my contributions, and the sense of belonging, is transforming my life forever - allowing me to make plans for the future that I couldn’t before and to dream again of a fantastic future for my daughter and me!

One last artwork, that I use as my avatar, which I think captures the complexity I feel inside.

[Jdd0810]

I love this idea, let’s get to know our extended Sanctum’s family:

• Who are you?

I am J.D.SOL 84. The happily married Cloudman and proud daddy of Angelina (The future of Sanctum)

• Where are you based?

I am from the sunny Miami, FL, my home which I loved and miss a lot. However, I’ve been in the U.S military for almost 16 years now and we move every 3 years, right now I am in the Midwest of the U.S, Minnesota, where it gets extremely cold and snows a lot.

• Socials:

My X handle is @jdd0810

• What’s your story?

I learned about crypto very recent, as recent as 2 years ago. I didn’t know there was an ecosystem or let alone, other block-chains. I was just buying BTC little by little, thinking it was just something like the stock market.

It was until the beginning of this year that I started to learn about Solana, I watched some videos on YT (Later I found out, he was Seb Montgomery) and I started to follow 1 protocol, I was not fully aware of scammer.

Unfortunately, I had a very bad first experience. I got scammed and drained of everything I had. Then, watching the same YT, I learned about Sanctum and decided not to explore and engage as I was still curious about this ecosystem. I started to engage with the community, spot the difference between good members and bad apples, I learned about LSTs.

However, the most memorable moment, was as I started to interact with the community members. I realized and said to myself “these are real people”. I learned they all had different stories, backgrounds, and goals in life.

I made some great friends, finally realizing this path leads to a successful fulfilling life. Most importantly, I have a support team of brothers and a community who believe in the on-chain economy, a sustainable future, and changing this PVP world to an earnest future and a PPP way of life.

As I continued to learn more about the Solana ecosystem. I learned and came across Jupiter. Then, it became clear to me that the success of a protocol is measured on the strength of an aligned community, selflessness, and passion to learn, help, and teach others the real value (no a monetary value, but a sustainable future and opportunities for everyone to succeed).

I fall in love with the earnest mentality and the PPP way of life, simply because it is the world I want my daughter to grow up with and the one I want to leave behind for her to be successful. Here is a picture the Jupiter community made for me after my take on PPP in their podcast.

• What brings you joy? Other than crypto?

I am very family oriented and my family is everything. One of my most joyful moments, it’s when I get time to play and be with my daughter, take my wife out, and chat or talk with my close friends from the community about our days, our experiences, or just how the day is going. I also love going to the gym as I believe, crafting a strong body creates a stronger mind. (Wellness of body and mind)

• What’s top of mind for you right now?

One of the things on top of my mind right now. It’s to continue to develop our Town-Hall to a well refined product, bring great material for the community, grow professionally with teammates/brothers, and help grow the Sanctum ecosystem by inspiring and bringing the right people

“The earnest shall build the new world”

• What are you most afraid of right now?

The only 1 thing that terrifies me the most, is the idea or though that something happens to my daughter, family, and friends.

• How can Sanctum help you most?

Sanctum has helped with the empowerment and trust bestowed on us. We want to give back to Sanctum with our efforts, time, and love for what we believe and the future we want to build together. Therefore, I just say the best help, it’s to continue to empower and motivate those with the heart in the right place, and embrace the earnest PPP way of life.

What’s top of mind for you right now?
Trying to think of more ways to do Sanctum Sanctuaries and more proposal application for forums… Also, on my mind is the US election… hoping that it resolves well.

What are you most afraid of right now?
I’m afraid of my own mental state… sometimes its hard to juggle a 24/7 life and actually have a life. I’m most afraid of losing myself before the bull run comes!

How can Sanctum help you most?

1. Help by getting onchain votes running. - which will amplify what we have done for the proposals.
2. Potentially get a continued discussion going for Sanctum Sanctuaries and what the process for expenses and distribution would be and what the outcome is that Sanctum would like to get!
3. Sneak Peak on S2 Wonderland PLEASEE <3

[skicia]

Names Skicia. Skicia Rawrrr (hehehehe obviously not real name)

I am Taiwanese, but currently I’m living and working in Thailand for some years already and probably will be in this country for much longer. I got involved in crypto around back in 2021 when btc peaked at 68k, was playing gamefi back then, and then I got interested in airdrops when arbitrum basically dropped $10k+ per account. I’ve been participating in various incentivized projects since I come online and lurk around the internet from time to time when I’m bored in the office heh.

I liked Sanctum the moment I saw it. The cute design, the cozy style, the things they try to achieve, the atmosphere and sentiment in the community and of course, the quests ! Man I legit spent hours to try to solve the riddles. It was brain-cell-sacrificing, but it was fun and I liked it very much ahh. And on top of that, a surprising earnest allocation airdrop which I was unexpected ! Looking very forward to future development !

[whalekrill]

My name is Krill, and I live in Japan I’m a full-remote engineer in Fintech. I mostly program with JS, TS, and Python. Currently, I’m doing the School of Solana. Later, maybe I will do Turbin3

Rust is really interesting. I’m also interested in machine learning and data science, and did the AWS and GCP machine learning certifications last year.

After Sanctum, I suppose the community I’m most invested in is Pathfinders.

I’m really looking forward to contributing

Hi, I’m Warymith. I work as a Data Analyst at an investment bank based in London, and in my free time I make art for fun.
https://x.com/Warymith

What’s your story?
I got into crypto in early 2021 and was always a “safe” investor. Most of my portfolio was in BTC and ETH, with a few other alts. I held everything through both the bull and bear markets. Early this year, I got more active in crypto when I started with Solana, then found Sanctum—and haven’t looked back since.

What brings you joy? Other than crypto?
As I mentioned earlier, I make art for fun, including everything from sketching to digital art and animation.

I recently started working on myself by going to the gym and improving my diet. I really enjoy it and like learning new skills as well.

What’s top of mind for you right now?
Lately, I’ve been thinking about ways to grow healthSOL with @Bengshark . He’s been keeping me busy!

[Tiggles]

Who are you?
Hi everyone, Tiggles here. I am a shy kid who grew up to be a shy adult. Usually, I just like to lurk online, but found some Discords like Sanctum where I can come out of my shell a bit. I try to be helpful when I can and have really enjoyed contributing to the Emoji Clan.
Where are you based?
I am currently based in the South Western part of Germany, but originally from the Southern part of the USA
What’s your story?
First learned about Bitcoin back in the early 2000s on Reddit, but didn’t learn more, just wondered how you could buy anything with it at the time. Or how to even get any. Wish I had started my journey back then. I am just slowly getting into the Crypto world. I finally started in 2021 and have since lost some due to Celsius and then FTX. Still here though, I haven’t been scared off yet. And it is good to be a part of a project that is trying to raise people up instead of the scams that are too prevalent in the space.
Some random facts about me: I have a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do (haven’t practiced in over a decade though) and used to do flying trapeze as a hobby.
What brings you joy? Other than crypto?
Hanging out with my wife and dog. Watching or playing soccer, walking out in nature, painting, reading fantasy or Sci-Fi books, good food. Lots of things bring me joy when I stop to enjoy them.
Dog Tax

What’s top of mind for you right now?
Trying to navigate grief from the loss of a close family member.
What are you most afraid of right now?
My father is going to have open heart surgery in two weeks. That scares me but have to hope for the best.
How can Sanctum help you most?
Just by continuing to be a safe place to come to with positive vibes and helpful attitudes. I’m glad that I found this and the Pathfinders community.

[cho]

Good day fam.
My original name is Sandis, but lots of you knows me as cho_cho. I am originally from Latvia, a really small country, but last 13 years i live in Germany.

My story?
I really love Arts. I remember me as a 9 years old boy who wanted to draw like a Picasso . I started to learn by my own because in that place where i come from, was no art schools. So i practiced over the years till i was really good in drawing and painting. These are some of my works.

The Arts helped me a lot in the University where i studied Interior Design.

But after i finished studies, i realized that Office job is not for me. So i started slowly entering Tattoo space. I am still tattooing on Weekends because workdays i am doing my main Job.
Here are some of my works: cho_tattoo
So i am still in love with Arts.

My joy is my family and also watersports, wintersports. I really love snowboarding and wakeboarding.

And i love my garden.

On top of my mind is probably the proposal which i am trying to finish. Still working on it.

I am afraid right now about what my wife thinks. Who is texting me so late😂. Probably she thinks i am cheating, but who cares. I am here and i am glad to be here with you guys.

Sanctum helped me a lot. I will be my whole life thankful to Sanctum. I really appreciate to be here. Sanctum feels like home to me. I want that this feeling stays in me for a long time.

Big L for Love.

4. What’s your story?

I was born in a small town… just kidding. I am generally quite private in my life but have recently began to confide in my beautiful family here at Sanctum. I’ve gone through, and been going through some pretty painful experiences due to previous life choices and acquaintances, and have a story of pain and injustice. But I will leave that for the more personal conversations. So, here’s my crypto story.

I first heard about cryptocurrency toward the end of 2018 when a friend of mine, who owned a substantial amount of Bitcoin, was thrilled to see his investment skyrocketing. I remember thinking at the time, “Well, there’s another missed opportunity,” and I didn’t revisit the topic until October 2022. That’s when, while exploring new tech, I discovered a web3 game offering an airdrop to playtesters. Intrigued, I began playing daily and even took it a step further by building a website to help promote the game.

When the second season’s airdrop rolled around, I was excited. However, despite my dedication, I only received the season 2 airdrop and was left in the dark as to why I wasn’t eligible for the season 1 airdrop. The lack of transparency and being treated as expendable soured my experience, so I stopped promoting the game and distanced myself from that community. Around the same time, I faced an even bigger setback when my wallet was drained, losing valuable NFTs. It was, to say the least, a frustrating chapter.

As I moved on from that experience at the start of 2024, I discovered new communities that reignited my interest. One standout was Star Atlas, which I stumbled upon through a video by a community member known as “Metaverse Explorer.” He mentioned a Jupiter airdrop and shared a link to check eligibility. To my surprise, I qualified for a significant reward. This unexpected success spurred my interest in airdrop hunting and farming, though I didn’t immediately become actively involved in the Jupiter community.

It was during this period that I discovered Sanctum and participated in Wonderland Season 1, which changed my perception of web3. I realized that not every project in the space was cutthroat or competitive; some embraced a cooperative, community-focused atmosphere. This revelation shifted my focus to projects that had a positive, collaborative culture, where I felt a deeper connection and could align with their missions. I soon scaled back on farming for income, finding it unsustainable, and now focus my efforts on projects like Sanctum, Jupiter, Pathfinders, AgriDex, and Grass.

Sanctum has become my digital home, where I spend most of my time contributing and using my skills to help the community thrive. I created Cloudie.so as a way to foster growth and provide a centralized, fun space that showcases community activities, and teaches new users about the ecosystem.

Currently, I am without a traditional job, living a minimalist, mobile lifestyle out of my car. While it may seem unconventional, I cherish the simplicity, the sense of freedom, and the stronger connection to nature that comes with it. However, I do have goals that require a stable income, and I hope to secure a position within the web3 space where I can fully utilize my skills and passion.

5. What brings you joy? Other than crypto?

• My daughter, even though I have no contact with her
• Spending time with my lady, the most amazing woman, Angie (I still can’t believe she is with me, considering I am basically “homeless” )
• My husky dog, Moon
• Nature
• Space
• Animals
• Science
• Art
• Dreaming of my future cabin / tiny home in the forest
• And of course building online

My 3 girls! (in no particular order lol)

6. What’s top of mind for you right now?

• Contributing to the growth of the Sanctum ecosystem in any ways I can.
• Being a part of initiatives that lend to a positive future for my daughter
• Getting laws in place that stop parental abduction, and treat each parent equally
• Enjoying everything I do and having a measure of peace and happiness
• Getting to that cabin home in the forest chapter of my life

Fear itself.

8. How can Sanctum help you most?**

Growth. Keep growing and getting better at what you do. I wouldn’t mind having a job with Sanctum as well.
