Who Am I

πŸ‘‹ I love open-source and web3 β›“

I got into open-source in 2013. Publishing to GitHub and npm used to be side-projects, but now I've made my work heavily open-sourced.

I support the web3 community and emerging markets through fast, light, and fast again web apps.


Why Sponsor

I'm obsessed with making web2 and web3 usable for the whole world. This means faster websites, better compression and minificiation techniques, and less buggy code.

To be specific, support will go towards my pinned repos and the following:

  • Rebuilding ethers.js and web3.js to be 20x smaller - read more
  • Pull-requesting top projects like this
  • Responding to pull-requests and maintaining all repos

How I use funds

Sponsorship helps fund my time as a developer. There are also direct costs like domains, hosting, and Cloudflare fees to protect any public websites. I am also experimenting with paying contributors on certain projects like essential-eth

@dawsbot

I'll be able to dedicate more time to open-source!
