DSponsor
ICO advisory & web3 product delivery
DSponsor is a decentralized sponsorship protocol that lets media organizations and content creators tokenize ad inventory as NFTs. Sponsors purchase tradable ad-space tokens, creators secure upfront funding while keeping editorial independence. I led the tokenomics design, authored the whitepaper, built the SDK and audited the smart contract stack (ERC-721/ERC-4907). Alongside the EVM contracts came a cross-chain expansion to Stellar, funded by the Stellar Development Foundation, enabling the protocol to reach a broader network. The work spanned architecture, smart contracts, developer tooling and go-to-market strategy.
- Whitepaper, tokenomics and SDK development
- Smart contract architecture (ERC-721/4907)
- Cross-chain bridge (EVM to Stellar)
