I read @AntissMk’s open letter multiple times. Frankly, the audience who most needed to see it was us — the HashKey team. I held my response until we could turn his voice into a clear internal plan of action.
We took these ideas to the HSK Committee, sparking an important conversation about how to stay connected to builders who are genuinely invested in what we’re building. His insights have since been translated into actionable plans and shared with senior leadership as part of their KPI framework. At this point, I’m pretty sure everyone in our core team knows @AntissMk and his tweets 😂.
We’ve been following @AntissMk’s contributions for some time, and last month, I met him in person at KBW in Seoul. He is truely an insightful, respectful and loyal buidler. Gave me a series of constructive suggestions on how to re-build our ecosystem, and restore community confidence. We’re now inviting him to become our Community Ambassador in Korea — not to soften his voice, but to amplify it. This role is designed to break down language and cultural barriers, ensuring we hear authentic community perspectives directly. We need someone who can bridge our team with the community, channel honest feedback, and make sure important conversations reach key decision-makers.
Moving forward, we'll introduce similar ambassador roles across major regions — including Chinese-speaking markets, Vietnam, and beyond — for everyone who builds, questions, and cares. We're also launching the "HashKey Chiefs program" soon — stay tuned. Let’s grow this together. 🌱
