Excited to share that I’m joining @HumanityProt as Head of Ecosystem!!
My focus is to build the Human Layer for an internet that’s about to be crowded with AI agents.

My Thesis:
The last decade was about scaling digital connectivity.
We’re now at the cusp of the next major shift: Mass automation to Proof of Trust.

AI agents are quickly becoming ubiquitous. Everyone can automate presence, logic, and labor.
So where does the real advantage come from?

The Human Element.
Authenticity, Sybil-resistance, and uniqueness compound over time.
Bots are just the noise. Humans drive the value in a longer term,

I’m not against AI, but there should be a way to know who is human and who is AI

That’s why Humanity Protocol made sense to me. They built the hardest part first a privacy preserving, palm recognition on phone infrastructure that actually scales.
Our partnership with @Mastercard is the first step in bringing Proof of trust to scale web2 business as well

I’m particularly bullish on how we’ll redefine value distribution. Soon, we’ll be expanding the ecosystem with our SDK, allowing protocols to leverage and onboard unique humans.
This isn't just about identity, it’s about helping projects unlock unique use cases and optimally utilize their yields by ensuring they reach real hands, not script-run farms.

Time to be Unique Human

Personal Update:
My time at @MantaNetwork has come to an end.

Over the last 2.6 years as Head of Ecosystem, I worked on building the developer ecosystem and over time ended up wearing multiple hats supporting founders internally, working closely with projects and representing Manta across global events.

During this time:
• Scaled the ecosystem to 124 deployed apps
• Engaged with and supported 520+ projects across the pipeline
• Represented Manta on 38 panels and 7 keynotes globally

Being the face of Manta as “Manta Man” around the world has been an unforgettable experience.

Grateful to have worked with incredible people across the space, and excited to see what’s next for Manta especially projects like @junkfun_ and @SUPERFORTUNE888 under the leadership of @superanonymousk and @victorone111

As for me: happy to connect with projects looking to strengthen their BD and Partnerships teams.
DMs always open.
