• Own DeFi growth strategy for the Monad network - Prioritize bets across lending, DEXs, stablecoins, RWAs, and yield infrastructure, measured by TVL, volume, stablecoin market cap, RWA market cap, and fees generated. • Execute end-to-end asset and protocol onboarding - coordinating across oracles, liquidators, DEX pool setup, curators, and bridging providers. • Advise DeFi builders deploying on the Monad network - with high-conviction, actionable feedback on protocol mechanics, product gaps, and market positioning. • Activate your network - of whales, liquid funds, curators, and blue-chip DeFi founders to kickstart early liquidity and protocol traction. • Bridge DeFi and TradFi/Fintech - Represent the Foundation with senior institutional executives, translating yield generation opportunities (e.g., Morpho vaults on the Monad network) into strategic terms they act on. • Drive incentive strategy - Form and defend opinions on which initiatives attract durable TVL per unit of spend versus which produce mercenary capital. • Manage a team of 2–3 DeFi specialists - setting priorities, maintaining execution tempo, and building a culture of rigor and action bias.

• Advise DeFi builders on the Monad network with succinct, hard-hitting feedback on protocol design, UX, market positioning, and competitive gaps. • Execute end-to-end onboarding of new protocols and assets, coordinating across oracles, liquidators, DEX pool setup, curators, and bridging providers to bring new markets live. • Prioritize which assets to bring to the Monad network based on market demand, composability value, and rigorous risk assessment. • Monitor the state of DeFi on the Monad network and flag gaps, imbalances, or inefficiencies. • Inform incentive strategy with grounded opinions on what types of programs attract durable TVL per unit of spend versus what generates mercenary capital. • Grow DeFi on the Monad network substantially, as measured by TVL, volume, stablecoin market cap, RWA market cap, and fees generated.

• Own protocol growth end-to-end. Build tailored growth plans with DeFi protocols on Monad - collaborating on liquidity incentive and co-incentive campaign structures, identifying missing integrations, and tracking TVL and volume against targets. You're not handing protocols off after they launch; you're accountable for their success. • Build the RWA x DeFi flywheel. Source and manage relationships with tokenized asset issuers and connect them with the right lending protocols, yield vaults, and stablecoin infrastructure on Monad. Design the looping strategies and collateral structures that make RWAs composable and yield-generating onchain - not just listed. • Connect the dots across the ecosystem. Identify cross-protocol opportunities that create compounding value - pairing a lending market with a DEX for deeper liquidity loops, or connecting a yield vault with an RWA issuer to expand TVL. You'll see the ecosystem as a system, not a list of individual protocols. • Bring institutional capital onchain. Work with institutional LPs, asset managers, and capital allocators to identify opportunities to deploy into RWA-backed DeFi products on Monad. You're comfortable in both the DeFi-native and TradFi-adjacent worlds, and can speak credibly to both.
