Led the technical and product strategy that produced the on‑chain Aavegotchi ecosystem, including design choices implemented in smart contracts and token models. Responsibilities included authoring or supervising the GHST token contract and related governance modules, defining the mechanics of wearables and consumables as ERC‑721/ERC‑1155 assets, and specifying how aTokens are locked to back individual Aavegotchis. Those concrete decisions shaped supply mechanics, staking incentives, and governance voting power tied to GHST and collateralized aTokens. Directed the creation and launch of the Baazaar marketplace and rarity farming mechanisms, both deployed by Pixelcraft Labs. The Baazaar marketplace established orderbook and offer logic specific to Aavegotchi NFTs and wearables, affecting secondary‑market liquidity and fee flows in GHST. The rarity farming design determined GHST emission schedules, staking rewards, and distribution rules used in multiple on‑chain contracts, with measurable impact on circulating supply and incentives for liquidity provision. Operated as public face of protocol governance during early DAO establishment, proposing and implementing on‑chain governance proposals and upgrades. Technical proposals submitted under leadership included contract migrations, parameter adjustments to rarity farming, and marketplace fee changes. Each on‑chain action was executed through the protocol’s multisig and DAO processes, providing direct, documented control over GHST economics and contract behavior. Coordinated audits, third‑party integrations and partnerships required for mainnet launches and feature rollouts. Management of audit responses, bug fixes and upgrade patches materially affected token security and market confidence, influencing trading activity and institutional integrations in the GHST ecosystem.
