One year ago, I opened my laptop one minute before meetings at a top tech company. I had hit the Staff Analyst ceiling. The money was good. The title was impressive. But I knew: I had to quit. Here's what happened next ↓ ➢ An influencer I deeply respected planted the seed in 2021 Back in 2021, a blogger who became somewhat of a life mentor to me was passionately advocating for Web3. It planted a seed. Over the next few years, more brilliant people I respected entered this space. But I wasn't ready yet - until I was. ➢ I hit the ceiling and lost my spark One year ago, I reached Staff Data Analyst at a top-tier tech company - the IC ceiling. The warning sign? I started opening my laptop only one minute before meetings. I realized: I no longer loved my work. The curiosity, the possibilities, the drive - all gone. So I quit. All-in on crypto. I had no idea what I could do here. But I was deeply curious. ➢ Disciplined learning: One month from zero to questions I'm a disciplined person. I spent the first month learning on YouTube and @Dune Analytics: YouTube basics: • What is Uniswap? • What is Restaking? • How does DeFi actually work? Dune practice: • Studying mature projects like Lido and EigenLayer dashboards One pattern caught my eye: Lido's market share was declining significantly over the past year. The question that drove me: Where did the smart money go? ➢ Hands-on beats watching - my first breakthrough I started pulling data on Dune, analyzing withdrawal patterns. Key lesson: Hands-on practice and research taught me 10x faster than watching videos or reading code ever could. The answer: Many sophisticated whales were moving to @aave and @sparkdotfi. Spark particularly fascinated me - a new, fast-growing protocol with compelling fundamentals. I wrote my first analysis thread tracking Lido withdrawer whales. @RuneKek retweeted it. That validation fueled me to dig deeper. ➢ An open world where effort gets recognized I started comparing Spark vs Aave, finding fascinating patterns in user behavior and capital flows. I engaged actively across Spark Discord, Twitter, and forums. What I found: Spark is an incredibly open, friendly team that genuinely values contributors. @hexonaut and @philz_web gave me thoughtful feedback that motivated me to contribute more. @MarcinRedStone inspired my RWA analysis - which became my first viral thread. @Matthew_Graham_ frequently retweeted my analytical work. This is an open world where effort and insights are easily seen and rewarded. ➢ From 10 ingredients to 10,000 - the chef's awakening As a 10-year data analyst, entering crypto felt like: Web2: A chef with 10 ingredients, cooking behind closed doors Web3: A chef with 10,000 ingredients - all publicly available on the counter The best part? Everyone can verify your recipe. The best dishes get recognized by the community. No more insights dying in internal reports. No more impact locked behind corporate walls. ➢ Partnership with Spark - diving so deep I forgot Twitter @sparkdotfi offered me a role as their Dune Analyst in July 2025. Today: This remains an amazing collaboration. I genuinely enjoy working with this team. They're building something special. ➢ AI amplified my already-high efficiency by 10x During this period, I became obsessed with @claudeai AI. In Web2: I was known for high efficiency. When I left my previous role, they needed 4 people to replace my workload. In Web3 + AI: My efficiency increased another 10x. Example: Analyzing whale migration patterns • Before: 2 days of manual SQL + validation • With Claude: 3 hours (AI writes queries → I validate logic → iterate) Yes, I constantly question AI-generated code. Yes, I verify everything meticulously. But Claude transformed me from "good analyst" to "analyst who ships 10x faster." My belief: AI will replace mid-level data analysts who just execute queries. But it will amplify exceptional analysts who ask the right questions and validate insights. The transparency of on-chain data gives me advantages my Web2 colleagues don't have - AI tools work far better with public, verifiable data. ➢ One year later: From "What is Uniswap?" to this One year ago, I was learning "What is Uniswap?" on YouTube with no plan, no connections, no idea what I could contribute. Today: Partnership with @sparkdotfi, approaches from @ChaosLabs @redstone_defi @Token_Logic, and a community that values analytical rigor. My 10 years of Web2 analytics experience transferred completely - the frameworks, the rigor, the systematic thinking all apply. What I gained: Transparency means insights compound across the ecosystem instead of dying in Slack. Meritocracy means good work gets recognized quickly. No corporate politics - just deliver value. ➢ Looking back, I realize: I didn't do this alone Every thoughtful comment from @hexonaut @philz_web @inkavod @Tiza4ThePeople @timzz_sleep @lucasmanuel_eth @nad8802 showed me my work mattered. Every collaboration opportunity proved that meritocracy works in Web3. To everyone who helped me along this journey - thank you. This wouldn't have been possible without you. The question isn't whether you can make it in Web3. The question is: Are you curious enough to try? One year ago, I had no plan, no connections, no idea what I could contribute. Today, I wake up excited to analyze on-chain data. I work with teams I respect. I learn something new every day. If a curious analyst can go from "What is Uniswap?" to this in one year, what could you do? P.S. My Twitter avatar? That's my adorable Border Collie generated into cartoon form. He's been my companion through this entire journey 🐕

@SuperNovemh With a reliable internet connection

@Matthew_Graham_ Specific location?

Are you, or do you know, a competitive searcher who wants to go full time as part of a larger team? We are looking to hire someone who has built/runs a competitive searcher across L2s or Ethereum. DMs are open.

It is a Gauntlet special 👀

And incentives are coming on @StakeDAOHQ

GHO is live as a $crvUSD Pegkeeper on @CurveFinance! After a full review in collaboration with @LlamaRisk, proposal passed governance with 100% support and $GHO has been onboarded with: • $3M debt ceiling • $1.4M+ pool TVL already reached A great step forward for GHO's DeFi integration

@maxlomu @AkgEmilio @Token_Logic Same reasons as USDS just higher returns

@AkgEmilio @Token_Logic What’s the point of holding GHO though?

The market is sleeping on GHO. Most people still think it's a weak stablecoin with a fragile peg. Meanwhile, you can sell 200M GHO on chain for less than 10 bps of slippage. Only USDS has better on-chain liquidity. 2026 is the year @Token_Logic takes GHO past 1B supply, drives slippage to zero, and turns it into Aave's most powerful revenue engine.

$300K in Plasma incentives for supplying GHO on Fluid × @Plasma 🌊 Starting today until April 9th.

@0xG00gly Looks like the Balancer liquidity is not integrated as the swap completely misses Balancer.

Someone lost $50M swapping USDT for AAVE, I guess via Cowswap on the Aave frontend? My thoughts and prayers go out to wallet 0x98B9.

With market conditions changing, leading to the backing of USDe evolving over time, having a dynamic cooldown period only enhances the user experience and builds upon the success of the Liquid Leverage program. Nice upgrade by the Ethena team.

Moving $GHO to @Plasma use @chainlink’s transporter.io Want to swap $USDT0 to $GHO on Plasma use @KyberNetwork kyberswap.com Enjoy the yield anon

This is one of the best tokenomic models I have read. 👀 It is great to see the @grvt_io team experimenting with proven fintech concepts being applied to DeFi.

The Aave Effect is real, but it doesn’t happen organically. The Aave deployment on Mantle is carefully managed and coordinated. At @Token_Logic, we call this a controlled launch. Each moving part is precisely aligned within a detailed gtm strategy. ✅ Find fresh Capital ✅ Create the Yield (native + incentives) ✅ Coordinate both sides of the trade ✅ Lean into USP (Mantle Aligned) ✅ Don’t leave the first Billy to chance ✅ Bring the builders A strong lending protocol is one of the key foundational pillars to a strong Defi ecosystem. A strong ecosystems needs a lot more than Aave Protocol to be successful longer term.

@DeFi_Andree @aave @tokenterminal This data is wrong ser

GHO keeps growing. Aave keeps winning. GHO market cap averaged $467.5M in February. Up 6.7% MoM and 135.7% YoY. Almost $500M. That matters. GHO is minted from @aave collateral. So if GHO keeps expanding while markets correct, demand is still there. TVL down. Loans down. GHO up. Aave native credit kept growing when everything else slowed. This is what real product demand looks like. Aave is not just a lending app. Aave is the money market. Just use Aave. Source: @tokenterminal
