Introduce yourself here!

Welcome to the OpenZeppelin Community forum :tada:

This thread is for you to say hello to everyone in the community and tell more about you :slight_smile:

If you’re not sure how, try with some of these:

  • Why are you here?
  • Where are you from?
  • How did you hear about OpenZeppelin?
  • What do you expect from the community?

I’ll go first! My name is Martín, I’m from Buenos Aires (Argentina) and I’ve been working at OpenZeppelin one year now: first as a smart contract developer/auditor and now leading our communications efforts.

Now it’s your turn!

Hello all! My name is Toby. I live in New York City. I am an independent dev, long time bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiast, that starting developing on ethereum earlier this year after completing my eth-developer certification from b9lab. I went through the Ethernaut series (which was amazing and fun!), and have used Open Zeppelin contracts for a couple projects, one pet project still running is https://tobytoken.shop/
which uses the 2.0 contracts. If we ever meet in person, I will buy back my tokens from you in USD!

I am here for the EVM upgradable packages!

got a larger projects in the works, but it is still in stealth mode :wink:

Hello there!

My name is Ali Nuraldin. I live in Prague, Czech Republic. Worked on many non-blockchain related projects before. Currently leading the development of some of these projects.
Felt in love with blockchain last year and since that time trying to participate and contribute as much as possible.

Planning to publish few EVM packages and use somebody else’s packages as well!

So curious how it’s gonna look like and be :slight_smile:

Hello All!

My name is Nick Furfaro, and I live in British Columbia, Canada. I got my start with developing on ethereum by taking the ethereum developer course with B9Lab last winter, where I was first exposed to openzeppelin. I’m currently working as an independent developer with an NYC startup, where I’ve been helping with smart contracts and migrating to using zOS for upgradeability.
When not on my laptop I love snowboarding, biking, rock climbing, playing guitar and martial arts.

Hi guys! the work you did so far is very cool and a great example to anyone interested in EVM package development, glad to have you around!

Welcome Toby! Great to see you used OZ 2.0, have you tried using OpenZeppelin-eth, the evm package implementation of it?

Welcome @jrmoreau, @n44o! What are your plans for the beta? Are you going to develop EVM packages, build on top of them or audit them?

Hello @alirun, that's awesome! Do you have any ideas for EVM packages yet?

Hi @youfoundron! I'm not familiar with ERC-1404, is it similar to the TPL EVM Package?

Yes. TPL protocol is very interesting, and I’ll be looking at it more closely soon.
