PhD holder turned Solana builder. Jonathon spent time with economist George Gilder and his whole worldview on tech and value shifted. He's been building ever since.

Building @IRLS_xyz, NFC-powered stamp books that turn real-world wards. No crypto knowledge needed. Tap, hit a milestone, earn.

Bounty winner. Nomadic media maker. Exploring Solana Name Service integrations to bridge IRL and onchain.

GM. Week 1 at @ns in Forest City.

Living in a “startup city” for the next month surrounded by builders working on AI, crypto, & emerging tech.

We’ve spent years exploring how place + community shape what gets built.

Now we get to live inside that experiment.

just claimed my @IRLS_xyz 🔥

so hyped for the scavenger hunt by @nftbutton and @aomdotsol

alpha: claim prizes at the end of solana network state 👀

yeehawww 🤠

@SuperteamMY has honestly been one of the most welcoming builder communities I’ve experienced in Southeast Asia.

Not hype. Not noise.

Just real people building on Solana.

If you’re living in Malaysia and curious about Solana, just go to one meetup.

You don’t need to be an expert.
You don’t need permission.

Just show up.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment on @refikanadol
They asked whether AI art can really be art.
To me, that’s not even a real debate.
@qbuttonphd and I are honored to own multiple pieces of his work.
