Hey everyone, I’m AndrĂ©s — most folks call me Viejon.

I’m a Recovery Support Peer Specialist, founder, and someone who learned Web3 from scratch—literally on a flip phone. I came into this space with one goal: to build tools that serve real people in recovery.

Right now I’m working on two projects:
Recovery Haven (for peer professionals) and Daily Haven (for folks in recovery).
Both are designed with dignity in mind—offering AI-powered check-ins, outreach tools, and future options like token rewards and peer support you can trust.

I believe recovery support should be seen as a public good—and Gitcoin is the kind of space where I hope we can grow that idea.

Thanks for making room for people like me to show up and build.

Hi everyone,

SeĂĄn here from Ireland

I am the creator of openlittermap and littercoin. I bring more than 16+ years of research to the community. Today, my only source of funding is from gitcoin. I am desci only.

I have been in ethereum since 2015. I was a member of the original DAO and still find that to be one of the most inspiring movements I have ever been a part of. At the time eth was new and we created the largest crowdfunding project in the history of the internet.

I want us to get back to that vision of fixing some of the biggest problems in the world.

For sensemaking, I want to propose that ethereums biggest challenges have become relevance and purpose.

I believe citizen science is the most effective way for us to re-achieve relevance and purpose.

There are 5/8 billion people connected online who are waiting to be empowered with better tools than social media.

Let’s bring it to them.

Cheers,
SeĂĄn
