I'm thrilled to introduce our newest member and this week's featured founder: Serpin Taxt @serpintaxt , co-founder of Ethos Network @ethos-network .

Serpin Taxt is a builder whose journey began in Web2 product development and ultimately led him into Web3, where he’s now tackling one of crypto’s biggest challenges: trust. Having first stumbled upon Bitcoin back in 2011 (like many, choosing not to buy at $30), Serpin later watched the industry explode. He started out trading and running a hedge fund, but his deeper mission was always to build.

That mission crystallized into Ethos Network, an onchain reputation platform on @base . With  $2 million in funding, Serpin and his team have created what many are calling the "Yelp of crypto Twitter," solving a critical $9 billion problem of fraud and scams in the crypto ecosystem.

Serpin’s vision is to create a standard for trust in Web3. By aligning incentives, whether it’s for peer-to-peer trades, DeFi lending, or business deals, he believes Ethos can help eliminate the lack of accou...

I'm thrilled to welcome you all to this special Founders Club mingling session with our featured founder of the week, @serpintaxt , co-founder of @ethos-network .

Our mission at Founders Club is to create meaningful connections between visionary builders and connect promising founders with early high-quality adopters. Today's session perfectly embodies that mission as we dive deep into one of the most fundamental challenges in Web3: trust and reputation.

Serpin's journey is particularly relevant to us all - from his early days witnessing Bitcoin's rise (and initially passing on it!), to trading through market cycles, and eventually building Ethos Network - a platform establishing onchain reputation and accountability in a space plagued by $9 billion in annual fraud.

I encourage everyone to engage actively with questions and reflections of your own (can be in english or chinese). The strength of our community grows through these authentic exchanges!

Without further ado, let's welcome Serpin to the virtual stage!

Hey Serpin, ho...

Reputation and credibility, on-chain.
Summer 24

Serpin老师好！请问Ethos身份认证和信誉管理除了用在资产交易外还会有什么样的使用场景呢～

人生半改编博主，互联网心情回收站。
不写东西会憋死。
活人。

质押者在质押期间会有激励吗？是否有针对跨链桥被黑客攻击的预防手段呢？ @serpintaxt 

那会变成一个巨大的去中心化的征信白名单！

I think it will be able to be used for anything on your web3 journey 

every founder wants a qualified list of participants. what if you could sort that by reputation?

every community wants upstanding citizens

every launchpad wants solid founders

every otc deal needs better understanding of counterparty reputation 

and most importantly, social media needs to be nuanced by reputation. this is the biggest place we are missing today
