Empowering consumers to control their digital economies.I led the development and vision for Setter’s products, including the app and the multi-token DN404 Setter Passes. These passes functioned as tokenbound accounts, enabling users to log into websites, and also served as EVM crypto wallets. I designed a boosting system along with skins and badges, allowing the passes to act as virtual passports, verifying user interactions across web3. Additionally, I ensured the passes and boosting system were complementary to Farcaster’s frames, enhancing cross-platform interoperability and user experience.
