Good tech sells itself.
Understood tech does.
Crypto prices what people can understand and repeat. I take hard tech apart, explain it to the accounts that move markets, and build with it.
Great tech. Lost in the noise?

Teams I've worked with.
As a KOL, advisor, and via scrib3 or A1.

Working
together.
How to start, what ships with code, and where your story lands.
Let's explore ways to collaborate.
Research-led explainers, launch sprints, X Spaces and builds on your stack, as a one-off or an ongoing partnership. Every collaboration starts with a brief: what you ship, when it lands, and what people should understand. Reach out and we take it from there.
Fit and feasibility first. I assess every brief before we commit to dates, and longer partnerships get first call on slots.
Brief me directly on Telegram or X.
Research pieces with a KOL campaign on top.
Selected agencies book on the same terms.
Content that ships with code.
ADD-ON TO CONTENT, NOT STANDALONE- 01
Analytics dashboard
A live tracker for your protocol's metrics, launched with a post.

A1 ResearchIndependent, crypto-native research.Crypto-native research that brings its own reach.
The research firm I co-founded with Lou: data-driven narrative research and CT-native GTM advisory. For bigger mandates, we work as A1.
A1 publishes data-backed analysis across crypto infrastructure, DeFi, digital asset markets and AI, and runs narrative campaigns for the teams behind them: a research piece, custom data visuals, distribution on X, the site and Telegram, and a KPI report per push. On top of that, bespoke reports, live dashboards and institutional advisory for allocators.
