Tener

Developer and growth strategist in crypto.

I build products and grow them. Three years shipping and scaling in crypto — content and community at a $157M TVL DeFi protocol, regional growth at a consumer wallet through the meme cycle, and a startup I co-founded and coded myself.

House of Stars

Co-founder & Product Engineer

A marketplace for trading illiquid digital assets, starting with Telegram Stars. Backed by TON Blockchain.

  • Co-founded the company and built the core product end to end — I wrote the code that matched and settled orders.
  • Identified Telegram Stars as a real asset with no liquid secondary market, and built the venue for it.
  • Grew entirely through distribution and community, with zero dollars spent on marketing.

Shut down in September 2025. The regulatory position on secondary markets for platform-issued assets made the model untenable, and I'd rather close a product cleanly than run it into a wall.

About

I sit between building and growing. I can write the product and I can figure out who it's for — which in crypto is usually the same problem wearing two hats.

I've worked the whole range: content and narrative at a protocol with real TVL, regional growth at a consumer wallet during the loudest market in years, and then a company of my own where I was the one shipping the code at 3am. The startup didn't survive contact with regulation. I'd do it again.

Currently looking for the next thing — building, growth, or both.
