I’m not okay. But I’m not quitting either. I’m still here because I believe in what I am building. So no codes today. Just my truth. (PS: If you know anyone hiring a Devrel, please share this with him/her) I left college in late 2023. Why? Because in Nigeria, while trying to submit my assignment, I was being told to write code on a sheet of paper, after coding since 2017, building webpages using CMS and vanillaJS. I told my dad this: “If I’m still writing code on paper in college, then I doubt the Nigerian education system is built for me.” So I bet on myself. I went deep into Web3, and everything changed. In 3 years, I’ve: – Led DevRel @_one_dev – Helped onboard devs across Africa – Joined @AlchemyLearn as the first West African ambassador – Interned as DevRel @monad_xyz – Presented a workshop at @ETHSafari – Contributed to Base/Coinbase UXR, thanks to @natago – Shipped, Taught, and still Advocating. All without VC funding or big backers. Just grit, community, and late nights. I don’t want pity. I’m not begging. Can I back all of this up? yes! I have social proof. You might ask, "Why not just build your product?" I believe a lot in building solid products that solve problems, but I love what I do as a DevRel more. Why Web3? Growing up in Nigeria, I’ve seen broken systems and lived uncertainty. I believe builders deserve better. I’m not okay, burnout and challenges hit hard, but I’m not quitting. I’m here for impact, not hype. I’m seeking a full-time DevRel role, remote or local. If you value developer empathy, technical clarity, and real impact, let’s connect. Portfolio: defidevrel.xyz This is a long shot, but if you believe Web3 needs authentic voices, I’m showing up. Not begging, just asking for a chance to keep building. TLDR: Devrel Advocate with 8 years of experience in both web2 & web3. Looking for a full-time DevRel role.

Yesterday I had a meeting with Visa and Fireblocks. I found out I didn't need fireblocks as we already have matched the technical capacity they were offering. Visa has asked for a few things which was already on our road map. Both companies have agreed for SMC to keep in touch via groupchat.

My StableNaira dashboard is ready and believe me I can see everything. My plan is to add a way for users to view this dashboard including the state of SNR reserves in the bank at all times.

I am aware that a small percentage of you are having issues with KYC Verification on @Peniremit. We are changing our third party KYC provider to a better one. We are tired of the terrible job they are doing so far, and we hope that one day we can build our very own.

Even without an on ramp solution for purchasing SNR, we are seeing a lot of SNR deposits start come in on Peniremit. While SNR currently plugs services only the Nigerian ecosystem at the moment, the goal is to make it SNR a global stable coin with use cases across countries. Mark my words, SNR will make the naira stronger.

I’ve already covered the Character Economy before with @charmsai This time, we’re looking at Eunice Agents and the ongoing $5,000 $EUNICE trading competition on Charms. AI, community, trading, and onchain incentives all in one ecosystem thanks to @EuniceCharms What are your thoughts??
I won the bounty, secured the $5,000, and yes, the lashes and new hair are proof that girl got paid. But beyond the win, what really caught my attention was the project itself. A few days ago, I spoke about @charmsai and some people thought it was just another crypto experiment for the money… Now they have raised $1.5 million, they are backed by @Base, their app has been approved on the Apple Store, and the launched yesterday. Check out my character: charms.ai/character/qinggg Ca: 0xb7b007a3551b0dff80a230be7a6f69b4ad535b07 That is exactly why I keep saying that some of the smartest products are being built quietly on Base. This is definitely one of them.
