✨ NADS SPOTLIGHT #5 ★
@Pamplune ✨
Back with a new
#NadsSpotlight, quick written interviews to show the human behind the pseudonym.
No doxx, no boring bios, just vibes, personality, and real contributions.
Who’s Pamplune?
If you want to talk about Japan, he’s the one, deeply passionate about the country and its culture. Beyond Web3, he’s a true guy of the internet, a calm and wise presence with a strong character, the yin and the yang. He’s curious, always learning, someone you can talk and debate about anything with.
(And don’t tell him I said this… but he secretly loves a bit of gossip.)
Let’s go 👇
➜ 1. What’s your favorite song?
I listen to a lot of music, and in many different styles. If I had to name just one, I would say Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. There is also a Japanese artist that I find incredible, probably one of the best singers in the world right now, her name is Ado. Go watch for example her live version of Unravel on YouTube, it’s one of the most technical and emotional performances I’ve ever heard.
➜ 2. What dish is impossible for you to resist?
It’s impossible for me to resist good lasagna, a carbonara, or a raclette.
➜ 3. A movie or series that really stuck with you?
My top 3 movies are Interstellar, Grave of the Fireflies, and Into the Wild. As for series, I really enjoyed Game of Thrones and Lost. In a different style, I also like The Big Bang Theory! I also have to mention a few Japanese anime like Hajime no Ippo, Dragon Ball, and Samurai Champloo.
➜ 4. An object you always keep close?
Without hesitation, my phone!
➜ 5. Are you more morning or night?
I love the calm and the atmosphere at the end of the day, so without a doubt I’d say the evening!
➜ 6. The emoji you use all the time?
I love the Kappa emote, but unfortunately it’s not available everywhere. Otherwise, as an old-school guy, I like using ^^ or a simple :)
➜ 7. A quote or phrase that defines you?
“I never lose. I either win or learn” by Nelson Mandela.
➜ 8. Something about you no one here knows?
I’m one of the few archers who actually managed to pierce their own finger with an arrow.
➜ 9. What’s the skill or trait you bring to the Web3 space?
I bring to some communities my experience and wisdom as someone in their forties. I also take a lot of time to onboard and help people around me discover and understand crypto.
➜ 10. In what way have you contributed to Monad so far?
I’ve explored the blockchain in a very natural and human way, doing the things I genuinely wanted to do without forcing myself. I got involved in the community on Discord by taking part in events, contributing to the Nadlines, and joining long discussions with the French group.
➜ 11. What would you like to achieve next?
I’d love to release an NFT collection on the mainnet one day to leave my mark on the blockchain. I also plan to use DeFi and staking once we’re on the mainnet.
➜ 12. If you could say one thing to the Nads right now, what would it be?
The mainnet launch is only one step. The best is yet to come.
Visuals that represent him (according to him):

👨👩👧 Without a doubt, the most important thing, the family!
One of the most active frenchnads in the community these past months, and someone we truly enjoy spending time with 💫
