my whole life i've enjoyed building things others considered impossible. because the possible will be built by someone else.

i deeply enjoy bringing great ideas into reality.

at 13, i built my first fun website around minecraft. at 16, i co-founded my first successful minecraft server, mineland network, which still prospers today with 12m+ players.

as the magnum opus of my minecraft path, i built the creative+ platform, where kids make games for kids, from blocks. i saw how a 16yo guy made his first $1,000 from his game.

the power of a creator community showed me how far the human brain can go when well-incentivised. that's how i started to understand the power of digital economies and began implementing them in my ventures.

but i wanted to build something truly meaningful. not just for millions, but for billions of users.

besides minecraft, i enjoyed watching telegram build the open network in 2018. and i was heartbroken when ton was shut down by the sec in 2020.

so two years later, when ton rose from the ashes, i joined ton foundation as one of its first hires to build a thriving, decentralized digital economy for telegram's billion users.

a city upon a hill, right inside the app all my friends use every day.

and so we made it happen. we built a developer ecosystem from scratch, organized hackathons with millions in prize pools, launched native usdt on ton with the best teams in crypto, and i was happy to announce a native bitcoin for telegram at a 50,000-person web3 conference in HK.

but the real mass adoption, unfortunately, failed to materialize. our moms won’t use blockchains directly. that's how i learned a key principle: hide the blockchain at every level possible.

at the same time, in 2025, while building my first crypto neobank ogvio, i felt that blockchains are native not to people, but to another type of user.

agents. they can't get bank accounts. but wallet is a native environment for such digital spirits.

so i went deep into agentic payments.

we took 1st place with mandate at an agentic hackathon by building spending intent control for ai agents with wallets. unfortunately, in early 2026, agents still don’t spend much.

that’s why i am now building thespawn.io to make all onchain agents discoverable by claude, codex, openclaw, and other agents.

to let them talk. and pay.

i build the backbone of the agentic economy.

that's my mission for today.
