I love experimenting onchain, and since 2018 a few of those experiments have become real companies. First a wallet and token marketplace, then token gating for BAYC and the Warriors, NFT drops and loyalty for football fans, and most recently onchain agents: Checkr, which read social attention, and Delu, a quant agent that evolved and traded on its own.

[2] DETAIL: DELU
Delu
2026 · founder
An autonomous quant agent I built solo. It ran as six sub agents (scout, auditor, sentinel, quant, tactician and courier), each owning one step from finding a token to delivering a mandate with entry, stop and profit trail. It fused onchain quant, smart money flows and social attention, learned from every signal it sent, and was tuned over 120K+ experiments to a 64% onchain win rate. When it wanted a social read, it paid Checkr mid analysis on its own, agent to agent, with both payments settled onchain. It shipped as an app, an x402 skill and a webhook, with pricing tiered by how much $DELU you held.
Where it started. Led a team of seven shipping tokenomics models, an ERC-20 token marketplace and a mobile wallet with ENS built in.

Mintgate
2020 to 2023 · co-founder, CPO
Mintgate was token gating infrastructure: hold the right token and unlock content, communities or experiences. BAYC, FWB and the Golden State Warriors used it, and it reached 23K+ monthly active wallets. We raised $1.7M with a team of five and open sourced it when we were done.
We built two consumer crypto platforms. OVERGIE was web3 loyalty for 2M+ fans of football clubs and esports teams. MITO was an NFT marketplace for creators with 30M+ combined followers, where drops sold out in under 60 seconds. We raised $1.9M and grew the team from 0 to 20+.
Built on one bet: attention moves before price. Checkr modeled social activity as self exciting cascades, using Hawkes processes, to separate real narrative shifts from noise. It flagged spikes, cascades, quiet accumulation and attention and price divergences before the market reacted. Over 18+ months it grew from a social index on Farcaster into an agent that other agents hired per call through x402 skills, plus webhooks and a B2B API for teams.

It ran as six sub agents (scout, auditor, sentinel, quant, tactician and courier), each owning one step from finding a token to delivering a mandate with entry, stop and profit trail.
