Julien.ip 🦇

Julien is a rare profile in Web3: he combines deep technical expertise with a strong creative sense. His involvement in Story Protocol and Zama shows that he truly understands intellectual property infrastructure and homomorphic encryption: two highly technical topics that are critical for the next cycle (or at least, we hope so). Beyond his role as an investor, he’s someone who actually gets things done. He creates high-quality visuals in a space that’s often overloaded with text and code. He’s clearly understood that aesthetics help you stand out, especially when they’re done right. And above all, I really like that he’s just a genuinely nice person.

We connected on X through shared interests, especially Zama and IP, but what truly stands out is his depth of knowledge. He has been active on this blockchain since day one and understands it at a level few do. Beyond his expertise, he’s always willing to help — answering questions, solving issues, and supporting the community without hesitation. If you need guidance, he’s someone you can genuinely rely on.

I met Julien on Discord. He explained many things to me in the field of crypto, especially about the Zama project, which he knows a lot about. He is a very kind person who takes the time to explain things well, and that has helped me a lot as a novice!!

Julien and I have had several opportunities to exchange views on different projects. I particularly enjoy our discussions, as he is involved in ambitious initiatives (such as Zama and Hyperliquid) and has a real talent for making complex concepts easy to understand. He is definitely someone to follow for anyone who wants to grasp the ecosystem without being swayed by marketing.

I’ve crossed paths with Julien in a bunch of Discord communities and one of the first things I noticed about him was how naturally helpful he is. No ego no gatekeeping just someone who actually cares about sharing what he knows. He has a solid grasp of Web3 both conceptually and technically and he never hesitates to break things down in a way that makes sense for everyone. He’s guided everyone more than once through topics that aren’t exactly beginner friendly and honestly the ecosystem would be in a much better place if more people carried themselves the way Julien does imo !

We exchange a lot together about Les Explorateurs and also about Plume, where I see him following the projects closely, asking the right questions and spotting trends before the majority. What I appreciate about Julien is his way of bringing clarity to sometimes complex subjects, while remaining calm.

Julien is someone you need as a friend. He's a blockchain library. He has a lot of experience and knowledge. He's always there to help, whether it's on zama, story, or ink, he's always given me valuable advice.

I remember coming across Julien on several different Discord servers, but we had never spoken before. Then, when Zama launched its creator program, I immediately saw that Julien was a very active person who shared great information. I enjoy reading his posts, which are always very well written, and his sometimes very funny replies.

Julien is very active in the Zama community, particularly in the French-speaking community. He has helped me and many other newcomers improve our creations and climb the ranks of the community. He is also an expert on Alturax dApp on HyperEVM. You can trust him to explain yield concepts and share alpha.

I know Julien well because we are both on the Mage Discord, and I really appreciate his ability to explain complex concepts in a simple way. I’ve learned a lot from him
