I joined Tendermint (the company) three years ago, on June 17th, 2019. I started as a frontend engineer and progressed to building my own product (Ignite), leading an engineering team on a mission to improve the developer experience of @cosmos. We've succeeded. Here's a retro.

- Last day at ETHGlobal. Looking forward to seeing all the projects building on @zetachain 😎 based on the high quality of technical questions yesterday this is going to be fun 🔥
- Excited to announce our #IBC real-time #GameOfZones Visualizer. The nodes of the graph are sovereign blockchains and the edges are inter-blockchain transactions. Explore the network at
- The sooner we get rid of the term "zone", the less confusing @cosmos will be for newcomers. Cosmos is a network of blockchains and some blockchains over time start behaving like hubs. This is emergent behaviour, not design.
- A @cosmos developer meetup. Got to meet people from @CUDOS_, @KYVENetwork, @axelarcore, validators looking for opportunities, investors and devs eager to learn more about the ecosystem 🙌
- Replying to @fadeevUpdate: after two months and several iterations, I received a waiver granting me permission to fork Ignite. I sincerely thank the Cosmos community for your support and commitment to open-source software 🙏
- My work on the community fork of Ignite CLI depended on getting a waiver from a non-compete clause in my employment contract. Many in the community may have been confused by my dilemma because I’m effectively asking for permission to fork a project I created and designed.
- We're looking for a smart contract/TS engineer to help us improve @zetachain dev experience 👷 A perfect candidate is interested in interoperability, builds tools and libs in TS, knows Solidity and wants to learn other SC languages ✨ Apply here: app.deform.cc/form/9450da24-…
- Hey, @jaekwon from @Allinbits_inc! Denis here. Do you mind if I fork ignite/cli (Apache 2.0 licensed) and continue working on it under a different name with friends?
- Super excited to be a part of an amazing dev-focused series of events by @DSRVlabs and @zetachain 🙌 Speaker lineup is top notch!We 💜 having @zetachain at #DSRVBuildersHouse– this year, none other than ZetaChain Contributor Denis Fadeev (@fadeev)! Why is Universal EVM a game-changer & how does one build universal blockchain apps? 👀 Stay tuned for the program 🔗 buildershouse.dsrvlabs.com #NEOHAUS
- I've been staying neutral since I joined Cosmos in 2019. I will continue staying neutral. To me, this is more important than any given project or tech or even person. It's about morals and truth.
- The CLI is 1K 🌟 Over the past two years we've helped thousands of developers get started building with @Cosmos and built tooling that helped dozens of projects go into production.
- I’m going to be speaking about Cosmos, IBC, Gravity Bridge, and Starport (in Russian) @ Evolution Tower, 6pm, June 10th. Send questions my way for a chance to win prizes! More info: t.me/RuDevBlockchain
