Lead developer for this project was Dekan Brown of DAOhaus. #### Moloch.Party | Alchemistresses: * [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/alchemistresses.eth#/alchemistresses.eth/proposal/0x826fb008c9832e8b966ff5c54c9fd6c74468c72353a6d0f63cbab19a69ed51b5) * [Opensea](https://opensea.io/collection/alchemistresses) * [Debank](https://debank.com/profile/0x7be79ec75d58fcd1053ef42397967abd3e1a8df6) * [Discord](https://discord.gg/D33huqGE3V) * [Moloch RDF Github](https://github.com/SiloHaus) #### References: * [ScoopyTrooples](https://x.com/scupytrooples) * [Barree](https://x.com/iOCharts) * [0verKoalafied](https://x.com/Ov3rKoalafied) * [DekanBro](https://x.com/DekanBro) ### DeFi Analyst - In depth Study of major DeFi projects including Synthetix, Aave, Compound, Chainlink, and Velodrome. - Developed a few innovative ways to build LP for Moloch Treasuries. - Studied trading concepts and strategies. - Studied development, and built out a discord server which acts as a library for this information. ### Early Adopter and Tester of Layer 2 Solutions - Participated in early stages of Arbitrum, Optimism, and zkSync - Received full airdrops. - Made and lost money, learning about how DeFi and Markets work. ### Artist | NFT Projects - Developed smart contracts and front-end interfaces for NFT launches. - Released an onchain Graphic Novel with its own Cryptovoxels Metaverse Gallery. - Released a bunch of smaller experiments. - 3 Years of launching Grassroots Funded Kickstarter Comics * [Rootdraws Opensea Collections Created](https://opensea.io/Rootdraws/created) * [Rootdraws Kickstarter Campaigns Created](https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/rootdraws/created) ### Community Manager and Educator - Created and managed a Discord server for crypto onboarding, active for 2-3 years - Wrote a few articles on my studies. - Participated in and analyzed multiple DAO communities, including 1Hive, Metagame, and CRE8R [Reference Library Discord](https://discord.gg/k8CzQ7c3gJ) ## Key Projects and Analyses ### Velodrome and Optimism Ecosystem - Analyzed Velodrome's rise as the primary AMM on Optimism - Understanding the motivations for why major OP DeFi protocols seek to build LP on Velodrome, allowed me to sell the Moloch v3 project. - I also bought Velodrome when it was undervalued, and made a profit, due to a thesis based investment. ### DeFi Summer and Beyond - Actively participated in and analyzed major DeFi trends from 2020 onwards - Studied the evolution from yield farming to more complex strategies like veTokens and protocol-owned liquidity - Developed insights into sustainable liquidity incentivization models - Read a couple papers on LP Management. ## Education and Continuous Learning - Attended ETH Denver 2023, completed Camp Buidl seminar - Building through using Claude.ai allows me to understand how projects and transactions function, and helps me understand building. ## Notable Achievements - Successfully avoided major losses in high-profile project failures (LUNA, FTX, Celsius), demonstrating strong risk management skills - Manifold NFTs can now own Moloch Memberships on OP and Base, due to my efforts.
