I like to refer to myself as ‘Just a Degen in Space’. I have been in blockchain for about 10 years. I have worked with play2earn games, NFT projects, DAOs, and other web3 projects. I am working for a DEX, Stellaswap.com, we are the largest DEX on moonbeam (the first main-net para-chain of polkadot). I also work BD for Simplex and soon Banxa. I work BD for Koii.network as well as out reach for Phaver, and run a consultant/advisor company “0xDegens” which helps projects onboard in Dubai and help with whitepapers, pitchdecks, teaching projects how to pitch, introduction to VC’s and VC DAO’s. I work with social media and article writing and publishing. I help with any aspect a project may need or with direct hand-off to a solution if I cannot provide it. I love creating social education around blockchain and work to onboard as many people as I can into web3. You can usually find me at almost any conference around the world as I am easily spottable wearing all of my badges and wrist bands (yes I do take them off) as sort of my own version of Proof of Work/History/Attendance/Degen or resume.
I tried to build a batch auction engine myself and then realized CowSwap already exists. I got interested in Batch Auctions after talking to Eric Budish’s co-writers Pete Kyle and Mina Lee. This is exciting for the market structure world.
Web3 dev, mostly working with smart contracts in Solidity and mining ops.
While using CoWSwap, I noticed those solvers that bring surplus. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for 3 months, so I decided to take a closer look.
I just discovered something that made my eyes shine! Combinatorial optimization looks hard — and super interesting in my view.
I’ve always loved optimization and can spend a long time squeezing out every bit of local maximum performance
This is the first time I’ve seen so many of my past experiences come together toward a potential setup.
I know the road is challenging and i’m happily going that way!
I’m joining the CowDAO community to learn more and build!
Hi, I’m Hesham, co founder of Ryze Protocol. In the coming weeks my team and I will be working with CowDAO to offer a grant for solvers already active on CowSwap, to integrate our Liquidity Pools on Base.
For now we’re looking for the right place to get started in getting connected with solvers and ensuring we’re complying with CowDAO guidelines for how we offer and award grants to applicants. Im available anytime at hesham@ryze.pro … Looking forward to meeting you all!
