Writing & exploring Web3

Subject:
Iban.

Web3 chronicler and on-chain researcher. I write the story behind the protocol — the architecture, the incentives, the people building it — not the hype cycle around it.

Case notes

What the file says.

Three things worth knowing before you read further.

Note 01

Covers DeFi and crypto narratives at the protocol layer — vaults, oracles, governance surfaces — instead of price charts and hype threads.

Note 02

Has written editorials, bounty threads, and research pieces for projects including BLOK Capital, BID Protocol, AX1, DogeOS, and dac_chain.

Note 03

Builds small tools on the side — trackers, calculators, generators — when a piece of content needs something interactive to prove the point.

Evidence board

Proof of work.

Everything below is a real project, a real task, or a real conversation. No filler, no mockups.
