🔦 Founder Spotlight

Meet @ifyouc1, Siwon Kim, Founder of @botanika_sol.

A DePIN native since 2018, Siwon has spent years building at the frontier of decentralized infrastructure, long before it was a trend.

Here's why we're paying attention 👇🧵

[Siwon Kim @ifyouc1]

@web3stu well deserved

[BOTANIKA | We Pioneer Data @botanika_sol]

Compute should not be trusted.
It should be proven.

NIMBUS

[Siwon Kim @ifyouc1]

can definitely vouch for the level of support from @solana . dealt with many ecosystems before and it was full of gatekeepers, people using influence to strongarm unfair deals, and incompetent foundation members focusing on vanity metrics.
while exploring Vietnam as potential market for @botanika_sol , we were impressed with the selfless help from @SuperteamVN and decided to build on solana. since then, we received so much love and help from @SuperteamKorea and @SuperteamSG and built lasting friendship with many talented individuals within solana and spent amazing 6 weeks at Ignition. the mentorship from @SaigonButcher also helped us navigate forward during the toughest times.
we continue to build & win on solana!

Production for Botanika Nodes has officially begun.

After the demo, seeing the system move into real production feels surreal.

What once lived in diagrams and test environments is now becoming reality.

It still feels surreal, but Botanika is just getting started.

[Siwon Kim @ifyouc1]

grateful for the team‘s relentless dedication to making it possible

this is an essential step towards bringing the world‘s largest distributed data pipeline that makes your AI understand more, and your agent do more - with verifiable data sources on chain

we will never stop

[BOTANIKA | We Pioneer Data @botanika_sol]

Today, we successfully completed the Botanika Node demo.

After countless iterations, tests, and refinements, we were finally able to showcase the system running live. Watching the node come alive on screen was honestly an overwhelming and emotional moment.

This isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning.
