About my PFP

2025-

An homage to perhaps the best meme content of all time, from Pelfort – The Wolf of Solana.

2022-2024

My PFP, literally a “Cartoon Panda holding a rhombus shaped diamon. Close-up.”, is an homage to Ethereum’s transition from PoW to PoS in September 2022 on mainnet when clients printed an image of a panda to celebrate the completion of the merge. The PFP was generated using the WOAI/Zero contracts on-chain.
