On Helios Horizons Ep.38, we chat to Eno Sim, Chief Vibes Officer at Sanctum about the art of building a community in Web3.
From starting his career at Samsung developing mobile payment technology to founding ISC, Eno's journey eventually led him to Sanctum, where his talents for community building and strategic implementation could flourish without the burden of trying to do everything at once.
We explore what drew Eno to Solana despite entering the ecosystem immediately after FTX's collapse—namely, the resilient builder community that continued through the bear market. He offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how Solana strategically built its community through Hacker Houses, gradually transitioning from foundation-led events to community-driven gatherings.
At Sanctum, Eno's working on creator coins as part of the emerging "PayFi narrative," enabling a "buy now, pay never" model where users deposit assets once and let the yield pay for subscriptions indefinitely. This innovative approach exemplifies how Web3 can create financial mechanisms impossible in traditional systems.
Helios Horizons Ep.38 offers a fascinating insight into the ups-and-downs of building in Web3, and perhaps most valuable is Eno's candid reflection on his personal growth as he navigated personal + professional challenges.
