*While I have nothing to hide, I intentionally keep my real name private for security reasons. I understand that KYC will be required upon appointment and have no objections to disclosing my identity internally. I’ve also met several core team members in person at various Astar-related conferences.
- Relevant experience
I entered the blockchain space in 2021, initially through Polkadot. Since then, I’ve been actively involved in researching, analyzing, and sharing information across various projects while also managing my own DeFi portfolio.
During the DeFi boom, I experimented with higher-risk strategies, but my current focus is on stable, long-term asset management. I’ve contributed to multiple projects by offering strategic advice and helping draft whitepapers across sectors including DeFi, gaming, chains, and more.
- Track record of contributions to Astar
I’ve been actively involved with Astar Network (formerly Plasm Network) since summer 2021. In February 2022, I officially became an Ambassador (now known as an Ecosystem Agent).
I’ve maintained consistent engagement with the community, including hosting biweekly X(Twitter) Spaces, where I provide updates, organize community Q&A sessions, and break down complex information for wider accessibility.
- Motivation to join the AFC and goals
My primary motivation is to improve Astar’s financial structure and make better use of idle assets. I support a conservative investment approach and do not intend to pursue high-risk strategies.
While ASTR buybacks and burns could be part of the long-term strategy using yield-generated revenue, in the early stages, the priority should be on generating low-risk returns.
- Weekly availability (minimum 5 - 8 hours/week)
I’m available for at least 5–8 hours per week, as required.
- Verified onchain identity

- Disclosures of any project affiliations or potential conflicts
I’m involved with a few other projects, but none are affiliated with Astar, so there are no conflicts of interest.
- Commitment to attend live meetings and operate transparently
Participation in live streaming itself is not a problem, but I am unable to communicate in English, which essentially makes it less meaningful. This is the most critical issue for my participation in the AFC, and if you have concerns in this regard, I have no problem participating as an observer rather than an official member.
I do not want to join the AFC to invest funds or get a salary, I just want to contribute to help Astar move towards a better future.
