What I Do in Web3
Crypto Journalist
I joined the team after attending an Incrypted Meetup in 2024 where one sentence by its CEO Ivan Pavlovskyy changed everything:
"Create your own reality."
Since then, I've published nearly 5,000 pieces, covering crypto markets, blockchain, AI, regulation, and cybersecurity in Ukrainian and English.
Newsletter & Events
Write crypto market digests, email newsletters, and event campaigns — including for the Incrypted Conference 2026 in Kyiv.

Apps I Use Regularly
Exchanges
Binance · Bybit · MEXC
Primary CEX for spot trading & tracking market liquidity
Data

Tracking ecosystems via CMC and CoinGecko trackers
Wallets

How I Generate Profit
01
Journalism Income
Full-time news writing at Incrypted — my primary Web3 income stream. I get paid to live and breathe crypto 24/7.
02
Spot Trading
Not so active trading on Binance, Bybit & MEXC. Informed by market expertise gained from writing news pieces and courses attended.
03
Bounties
Newly discovered via Superteam Ukraine — contributing skills (writing, research) to Web3 projects in exchange for rewards.
05
How I Discover New Projects
Incrypted Community
Telegram channels & insider editorial briefings — news before it hits feeds
Opinion Leaders
Curated Telegram channels of crypto analysts & builders I trust
Courses & Education
Crypto trading & market courses — projects surface naturally in curriculum
Social Media
Official protocol announcements & X (Twitter)

Why Superteam Ukraine
Matters to Me
Superteam Ukraine introduced me to a completely new side of Web3.
Instead of only reporting on builders, I now have opportunities to become one of the contributors.
I want to deepen my understanding of the Solana ecosystem, complete more bounties, collaborate with talented people, and eventually combine my strengths in journalism, research, and content creation to help Web3 projects communicate with global audiences.
