Hey - thanks for the application.

I have one question:
To make it easier for the community to understand what potential conflicts of interest of reviewers may look like and not everyone may be familiar with the platform you have stated here, could you shortly describe what Iotabe is / in which sector it operates or plans to operate in the future?
This will help everyone reading your application, Thanks.

Thanks Phylo for your suggestion. I will add the following

Iotabee is a DEX protocol which focuses on IOTA/Shimmer ecosystem. And my role in Iotabee is product lead. That will be my conflict of interest.

Hello Qi,

As you stated you have some developer experience do you have a link like Github that shows your work?

Regards,
JD (DeepSea)

Thanks for your suggestions.
