My journey into the fascinating world of Web 3 began with a simple step: minting NFTs on OpenSea. Initially, I was intrigued by the concept of owning unique digital assets, which led me to explore the vast landscape of NFTs. This curiosity quickly turned into an active pursuit, as I started buying and trading more NFTs, delving deeper into the crypto ecosystem.
Diving into Blockchain and Smart Contracts
As my interest grew, I realized that understanding the underlying technology was crucial. This led me to explore Blockchain smart contracts and Solidity development. These tools are the backbone of decentralized applications, and mastering them was essential for my journey. My initial foray into development was creating a Web 3-enabled MetaMask login for my website. Although this login feature didn't have a specific function at the time, it was a significant step in understanding how Web 3 integration works.
Founding The Arclite Spanner
With a solid foundation in NFTs and Blockchain technology, I founded a Web 3 company called the Arclite Spanner. Our initial focus was on selling NFTs and other pop culture merch, and this experience laid the groundwork for our most ambitious project yet: a 6666 token generative collection on the $Base Blockchain. This milestone came after about a year and a half of being immersed in the crypto space.
Choosing $Base for our collection was a deliberate decision. The $Base Blockchain is known for being less impactful on the environment compared to Ethereum layer one chains, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
Launching $CHI🛸 and Building for the Metaverse
As my journey progressed, I expanded my skill set to include token development. This led to the creation and launch of my own coin, $CHI🛸, also on the $Base Blockchain.
A significant aspect of my work has been building 3D assets for the metaverse. These assets include avatars and other digital items designed for immersive virtual environments. One of our key initiatives is supplying community avatars to all project holders on the Nifty Island Metaverse. This not only enhances the user experience but also fosters a sense of belonging and identity within our community. Developing these 3D models has been both challenging and rewarding, as it involves staying at the cutting edge of technology and creativity.

Looking Ahead: ChiroosNFT Collection
Since emigrating to Canada, I'm now based in Toronto and despite these challenges, my journey is just beginning. I'm excited to announce that the Arclite Spanner will be minting the 6666 token generative ChiroosNFT collection on $Base in Q4 2024. To ensure that as many people as possible from my network can participate, I've built in purchase options for fiat credit cards in the smart contract. This integration is crucial for onboarding new users who may not be familiar with cryptocurrencies.
