Year-long fellowship to continue my research and work surrounding the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries, as well as topics including online governance, digital identity, and the future of the web. Some of my work with the LIL has included:

• " Web3 Is Going Just Where?" fireside chat with Molly White and Jonathan Zittrain, January 2023
• "Challenges, opportunities, skepticism on Web3" conversation with Dr. Shlomit Wagman and Molly White at the "Web3: What don't we know about it yet?" workshop at Harvard University, February 2023
• "Blockchain Solutions to Socio-Political Problems: An Exploration of Current Issues in Web3" seminar series, March–April 2023

I founded and maintain the website Web3 is Going Just Great, which highlights examples of how cryptocurrency and web3 projects are failing to live up to their promises. I also write a popular newsletter that covers topics pertaining to the cryptocurrency industry. I have written essays outlining issues with crypto-utopianism and techno-solutionism, and my expertise has been featured in publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Financial Times, and NPR. I've also advised various lawmakers, regulators, and other governmental officials within and outside of the United States. Some of my work has included:

• "Abuse on the blockchain" guest lecture at Stanford University, March 2022
• "Blockchain solutionism" guest lecture at the University of Texas at Austin, September 2022
• "Is web3 bullshit?" talk at Web Summit, November 2022
