Greetings Secret Community,
It has been an honor to work with the Secret Foundation since January of 2021 - nearly 15 months ago since I began. Specifically, it has been a pleasure to work with @tor, his mentorship has been invaluable on my individual journey of working fulltime in Web3. Another special thank you to Jordan, Mr. Hawk, and Jay W. and everyone else that are key partners with the Secret Foundation, I truly enjoyed working with each and every one of you. As a marketing and community manager, I performed the following:
- Wrote ~80 blogs (15 monthly ecosystem updates!)
- Assisted with connecting grantees to the grants program
- Assisted with BizDev relationships
- Assisted with distribution of marketing materials
- Responded to and participated with working directly with community members on a daily basis
- Helped lead the dev committee through the majority of 2021
- Attended multiple Secret Network live events
- Assisted with the creation of SF quarterly transparency reports
- Managed the SF content calendar
- Created the âProfilesâ github repo (~400 commits)
- Helped with creation of the initial scrt.network V2 website in 2021 (shout-out to the massive overhaul in progress!)
- Regularly updated the CMS on the main website to reflect the most up to date articles & dApps
- Wrote & updated the Secret Network graypaper
Those were the primary things I accomplished. Throughout my time at the Secret Foundation, Tor Bair & the Secret Foundation pushed me to achieve as much as possible for Secret Network. I have a fond memory in college of dreaming about working in Web3 fulltime - being able to work with the Secret Foundation for 15 months was a dream come true!
I have now officially pivoted to working fulltime as a lead researcher for Shade Protocol - a DeFi application built on Secret Network. I believe I will be maximizing my contributions to Secret Network by pursuing this opportunity fulltime. I want to thank the entire Secret community for being so awesome; amidst the highs and lows of this networkâs history, your dedication to bringing privacy to Web3 keeps the core contributors pushing as hard as possible day in and day out.
Cheers to a bright future - Secret Network is just getting started, and our collective drive and conviction as a community to bring privacy to Web3 is stronger then ever.
Onwards & upwards
-Carter Woetzel (Secret Agent & Lead Researcher at Shade Protocol)
