The Monad community is one of the most engaged and technically sharp that I've seen in crypto. Builders aren’t just watching from the sidelines. They’re shipping, stress-testing, and shaping the future of high-performance EVM.
I'll be helping to increase adoption of Monad technology and financial activity onchain. This includes sourcing, evaluating, and executing deals relating to stablecoins and payments on the Monad protocol.
I've always wondered what the work of a BD is, care to share some insights?
Started reading and writing about blockchain in ‘14. But it wasn’t until I bought a home in ‘16 that I realized the intrinsic value of BTC. Fell down the rabbit hole and have been investing ever since.
what’s your crypto origin story?
Had to go in person to send a wire. Paid a fee. Still waiting days for it to land. Also had to go in person to deposit a check only to be told the full amount won’t clear for weeks. Money should move at the speed of the internet. Transactions should cost cents while giving you…
I joined Monad at the start of this year and have since chatted with 100 DeFi startups. There are 2 fundamental questions I think about: 1. Is your app worth building? 2. Can your team execute it? Here are some lessons I learned from the teams who answer these questions best.

Early BD at an L1 means finding signal through noise. The signal right now: – Payments infra wants real scale – Wallets want stablecoin rails that work – Devs want EVM + UX, not tradeoffs Monad is where it’s converging.
Stablecoin issuance = easy Stablecoin distribution = hard
Because issuing a stablecoin is only the first step. The real challenge is distribution: Digital dollars need to move through wallets, payment apps, FX platforms and remittance channels in real time and across borders. And Tether knows this game better than anyone.
This is what a blockchain is supposed to look like. This. Is. Monad.

Offering multiple payment methods is good for customer loyalty and convenience. And as we see here, stablecoins expand the customer base.
From @stripe: Customers paying with stables are 2x more likely to be net new than with other methods Stables don't change much for you You probably have a card with points They're essential for those who couldn't pay before 🟢 A win for merchants 🌍 A win for global customers
The Monad Foundation just acquired @portal_hq, a major player in stablecoin infrastructure. What does this mean? It means @monad_xyz is getting serious about onchain payments, and they’re building for real-world usage at scale. ✅ So what is Portal? Portal helps businesses…
massive shoutout to everyone that believes in monad i hope that today's acquisition of @portal_HQ shows that we will not stop, ever. ignore the noise and KEEP BUILDING
