Founder

As the founder of BiggerMINDS, I developed a suite of interconnected blockchain products. My vision was o create a platform enabling users, businesses, and projects to access a single token that could be used across all our services, from an NFT marketplace to staking tools. At its peak, BiggerMINDS was valued at over 1 million dollars, which was a testament to the potential we had created. The ecosystem I built included the MIND+ Token as our core utility token, an NFT Marketplace for buying, selling, and trading NFTs, NFT Staking that allowed users to stake their NFTs for rewards, unique NFTs within our ecosystem, MIND+ Staking for additional benefits, and other tools designed to support and connect these core services. I designed the system to be sustainable, with the MIND+ token offering by creating a clear economic model for the token and focusing on a straightforward user interface. I aimed to A key priority was building an active and engaged community for our users and project partners. Despite the innovative approach and initial success, I ultimately had to make the difficult decision to shut down the business. The experience of creating and running BiggerMINDS taught me valuable lessons about blockchain technology, community building, and the challenges of running a startup in the volatile crypto space.
