Andrei | Russian Moonbeam Community

“I have been a fan of the Polkadot ecosystem for a long time. When I first learned about Moonbeam, I immediately knew that I wanted to be part of the community. I contribute as ahead moderator and leader of the Russian community and enjoy working with crypto enthusiasts from all over the globe. I love graphic design, too, and make many Moonbeam-themed digital assets. I also created fun Telegram stickers and Discord emojis on the Moonbeam servers, and I am thrilled that they are popular amongst the community. I am proud that I am an ambassador of Moonbeam, as I have never seen such a close-knit, friendly community with such a strong foundation of ideas for a project! I carry my status as an ambassador with great pride.”
