I’ve been creating news about the Cosmos ecosystem for Russian-speaking users for over two years. My active Discord has over 6000 users, and I have over 9000 subscribers on youtube with 300 videos uploaded.My videos are distinguished by simplicity of presentation, speed of narration, guides what and how to do, clear sound, high-quality picture and professional editing.As a project creator, I aim for honest and unbiased study of projects, that’s why I conduct interviews in Russian and English, to maintain independence I do not participate in ambassadorial programs.By this moment I have conducted 11 interviews in English with such teams as: Sommelier (Zaki), Nolus, NIM, Rivalz, Leap Wallet and others.

The full list is here. In Russian with developers from Celestia, Quasar, Drop and Carv. Full list here.  On a separate note, I have created an NFT collection of Defi Geeks, which has found loyal users and will launch a second collection at the end of October.

I have already gotten trademark permission from Mars Protocol, Sommelier, Leap Wallet and would appreciate it if you would let me use Atom in my collection.I am developing in several directions to fully explore the Cosmos ecosystem. That’s why the NFT direction is so important to me, by the way, I’ve interviewed Sloths and Mad Scientiests and if you’d like to get an outside perspective on me, you can check with them to see what they think of me and my community. Also if you need recommendations you can talk to Victor from Celestia https://x.com/braveryandglory.So in answer to the question of what problems I am solving, here are a few 1) Keeping up to date with Cosmos ecosystem news in a timely manner2) Creating guides, what to do and how to do in Russian3) Creation of an independent community where users can share their experience and solve problems related to bugs.4) In-depth study of projects through interviews5) Explaining and analyzing English-language interviews in Russian
