Helios Horizons

In Helios Horizons Ep.8, we welcomed Seb Moriarty, Head of Growth at Radiants DAO.
Seb took us through his journey from his DJing roots in Cape Town to becoming embedded in the Web3 space. Seb opens up about his eclectic career path, sharing anecdotes from his early days in music, marketing, and film, and how these experiences shaped his transition into the world of Web3. From his introduction to Bitcoin in 2013, to the present day, where he is Head of Growth at Radiants DAO.
We dive into the evolution of NFTs from simple social status symbols to community-led movements and Seb's own NFT journey. Seb highlighted the rise of Radiants DAO, thanks to the power of community collaboration and their unique approach of consolidating struggling projects under the Radiants DAO umbrella. This journey has led to Radiants DAO hosting the Bonkathon, a hackathon with a $350,000 prize pool designed to drive community-led innovation within the Solana ecosystem.
Finally, Seb provides an insider’s perspective on the unique dynamics of the NFT and blockchain communities, both online and in-person around different niche cultural interests.
With reflections on the future growth and innovation in the Solana and broader Web3 landscape, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the idea of community-led innovation and growth in Web3 through the power of NFTs and DAOs.
