“I see him as the best OG in crypto”I see Ivan as a consistent individual, especially in the crypto and Web3 space, since I’ve heard his name long ago and until now he has remained committed to building and advancing the crypto and Web3 ecosystem. He also has the ability to recognize opportunities in the Web3 world, which is why we, coming from the trenches, see him as a role model

“Solid Ecosystem Contributor”Ivan brings valuable connections and ecosystem knowledge. He's been around the Solana space since early days, runs educational programs, and has legitimate involvement in multiple community initiatives. Good person to know for ecosystem navigation and business development.

“The Backbone of Ethos in Our Circle”Ivan was the one who brought Ethos into our MadLads group and honestly, it wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s been on top of it since day one, always sharing updates, helping others get on, and leading by example. Out of everyone in our group, he’s easily the most credible and consistent presence on Ethos. This is someone I can fully stand behind, solid guy, always reliable, and I’ve got no hesitation putting my word behind him.

“Top Og Active Investor”Spain Mad Lad, he is one of the Og builders in this space and he makes himself available for the community. He supports and attends community event. He is one of the oldest OG still very active in the space.

“Community Founder, Start-up Investor and Mad Lad”Ivan champions startups while also building Nomadz. Even though he is busy with his multiple activities and projects he still takes the time to support others who believe in him. A true Mad Lad

“Goat Lad”Ivan’s the kind of person every community needs. He is real, honest, and always ready to help. He drops smart market and airdrop insights, brings genuine energy, and uplifts everyone around him. Proud to roll with him in the MadLads crew.

“ivan the next level founder”Ivan’s the kind of founder you don’t just read about — you notice. Eight years deep in crypto, he’s still here, still building, and still showing up when it matters. That track record alone filters out the noise. Nomadz, his current focus, feels like more than just another product drop. It’s a bridge — not a marketing gimmick — between the comfort of web2 and the possibilities of web3. For travelers, it’s utility. For the space, it’s proof that onboarding can be seamless without sacrificing decentralization. Communities like Madlads don’t just open their doors for anyone, but Ivan’s presence there says a lot. He’s the type to amplify creators, push awareness for the projects he believes in, and keep the energy focused on results instead of hype. Right now, his “score” sits in the yellow — strong enough to turn heads, but not maxed out. A couple more wins, and it flips green. And when it does, it won’t be because of luck — it’ll be because the work’s been compounding all along.

“The Digital Nomad Who Builds more than Journey”I’m supporting Ivan Nomadz because he blends entrepreneurial vision, community energy, and personal consistency in a space that often values noise over presence. As the founder of Nomadz, he’s building a travel-focused Web3 platform rooted in Solana that goes beyond transactions it's about shared experiences, global connection, and real-world impact. Ivan’s trajectory from staking in Solana’s early days to scaling Nomadz across borders is proof that he lives his beliefs with action. He doesn’t just tweet; he travels, builds, and gathers feedback in person understanding that IRL resonance matters. He’s spoken at events like Solana Hungary and Solana Temple, sharing founder lessons and shaping regional Web3 narratives along the way twitter.com. Ivan doesn’t chase the spotlight. He shows up consistently whether it's through wellness routines in Barcelona or hosting Nomadz Talks that bring builders together. If you value builders who deliver through presence, humility, and long-term perspective, Ivan Nomadz is already showing how to live by that code

“Ivan is a big influence in the Solana ecosystem and is also very handsome :)”I met him when I first searched for information about the Nomadz project, which he is the community development manager and CEO of. I experienced the beta version of the project, and I gave him feedback. It was great that he received it openly and respectfully. In addition, he is always updated on the outstanding events of Solana. By following him, I can grasp a lot of alpha information about the projects. Thank you for always being kind and sharing information.
