Simon: I like to just say I'm a creator. I make art, I make music, I write and design things, I code things. In the Ethereum space, I've been around since the early days. I helped design the ERC-20 standard. I wrote a lot of things too. And these days, I am primarily trying to make more art. I do a lot of on-chain art NFT things, learning more about the SVG format with every project I make. I’ve also been writing science fiction, publishing a novel, and writing science fiction short stories, editing, producing, and making the art for them. What I do is mostly an intersection between a project that's an art studio, a publishing house, and a tech startup—all three together, trying to figure out how to make and build stuff. I used to be more at the protocol level, infrastructure level. But now that the technology has been built, I'm enjoying just using it to make cool things happen.

Day 20: in the middle of all this
Between 2015 and 2018 Simon spent time building new organizational models, co-designing the ERC20 token standard, Pioneering Curation Markets, and inventing bonding curves: a new style of automated market maker. He's currently telling stories + empowering writers with NFTs. He never stopped inspiring me to keep trying to make cool things happen. LTL minted his SVG to embrace our Ikigai.
