Frontend

If you are a cracked frontend dev, I want to talk to you! We're growing the team at Courtyard, and I've never experienced a more exciting time in my career. We're consistently the top NFT contract by volume despite our users having little to no idea about crypto, we're growing fast, and we're profitable. DMs are open!

DeFi

I wrote an updated post on the DeSci value chain. There are 4 parts: funding, execution, publishing and commercialization. Over the past year there's been a lot of activity across the spectrum and the first drug developed through DeSci was brought to commercialization
