🪐 Introduction

I have been connecting people in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2019, bringing a unique perspective on how the Ethereum community works. I started as an Ethereum event organizer but have shifted toward project management, developer relations management, technical writing, and development coordination. I focus on helping teams bridge the gap between builders and users. I also love hosting unique events and in-person experiences that unite the community in fun and unexpected ways.

If you’re curious about my journey—from volunteering at crypto conferences to landing a full-time role in Web3, you should listen to the Episode 19 - Anett Rolikova by WholesomeCrypto podcast.

⟠ My Ethereum Story

I may be seen as someone who just appeared on Crypto Twitter with cute face and got hundreds of followers on Twitter. Here’s the story of how I fell into the Ethereum rabbit hole in bullet points:

April 2018 I visited Progressbar - blockchain focused cowork space for the first time
September 2018 I started to help out in Progressbar with events
In November 2018, the crew from Progressbar went to Devcon4 in Prague. I visited Prague as a tourist and got invited to a couple of evening events during Devcon4, including the Funfair and Chainlink Event, the Rockaway blockchain party, the Binance event, and an Event/ Party in Zizkov Tower. I had no idea what blockchain or Ethereum was. I met Brenda Loya at Funfair event, who gave me valuable advice about not being afraid of being the only girl around guys in tec,h which for me, was an eye-opening moment.
I tried to read about Blockchain and Ethereum on medium.com but I didn’t understand it
January 2019 volunteer at AraCon - Aragon Conference. I saw the community and felt in love, wanted to be apart of it. Meet Lenka from MakerDAO - she told me about MakerDAO micro grants initiative. And a bunch of other sweethearts that I’m in touch with until today. I started to use Twitter. Attended GoerliCon where Afri released Goerli Testnet - I had no idea what’s going on, I didn’t understood any of what Afri was doing but I loved the energy in the room and took ba unch of pics that are blurry, but everyone was taking pics, so I did too :D
March 2019 organised the first MakerDAO self-organised meetup and got micro grant from MakerDAO for it
April 2019: I volunteered at my first ETHGlobal event, the ETH Cape Town hackathon, where I started to look for my first community gig in Ethereum.
In May 2019, I got my first job in Ethereum. I was working with the team on an Ethereum governance-related project. This was fail but Griff introduced me to Jamie
June 2019 Jamie offered me to help him out with Ethereum Magicians. I started to help out with Operations and Events. Jamie became my mentor. This was my most valuable connection in Ethereum that I got.

The story continues in Proof of Work, as I started working full-time on various projects in the ecosystem.

Online presence and experiments

I do believe that you can build your own successful personal brand on a social media. Here are my personal experiments:

I’m building my personal Twitter.

I have Medium account where I share blogs regarding to my contributioins to Ethereum projects. I recently started publishing on Mirror which is decentralised publishing platform but you can find my blogs on Hackernoon too.

I’m hoping to start writing more and publishing my ideas on Substack, but no promises on that. I publish there on very irregular basis.

I started my mind garden on Tumbr, it is like a public Mind Garden where I share my notes,links to articles I read, sometimes I use it to vent my thoughts and clean my mind by writing about my day… It may look messy sometimes but I haven’t found a better platform where I can share my thoughts,yet.

I created Ethereum Community YouTube channel where I did interview with Udi Wertheimer. I would like to film more interviews with people from the Ethereum Ecosystem to give more perspectives out to the public about Ethereum, find ways how to improve, simplify Ethereum, get to know more about people in Ethereum… (unfinished as it is in experimental state).

📝 I write notes and share interesting articles to my Mind Garden

🚲 I share my workouts, hikes on Strava

📖 I do read books and share them on Goodreads
