Name / Alias: Tom Kim
Discord Handle: tomkimkr
ETH Address: autonomousworld.eth
Your background and qualifications:
I joined AWE in its founding year and helped us to secure listings on major global exchanges, including Upbit and Binance(through the community vote). Since then, I’ve been part of every major evolution of the project — from DeFi and DAO governance (Clique), to the launch of AWNS, our entry into the Base ecosystem, and now the development of our AI-powered platform, AWE(World.fun).
Over the past 8-9 years, I’ve built deep market insight into the Korean crypto ecosystem. I’ve also helped 40–50 global projects with Korean market entry — offering listing and marketing consulting, managing local KOLs, and maintaining strong relationships with leading PR agencies. Throughout my work, I’ve remained transparent and committed, and I’ll continue to dedicate myself to AWE’s growth.
What excites you most about AWE and the Autonomous Worlds ecosystem:
What excites me most about AWE is the chance to work alongside an inspiring global team and strong leadership that’s always pushing forward. We are constantly building with a clear sense of mission, contributing to both Ethereum and the Base ecosystem. I’m especially proud that we’ve maintained trust with retail users, never engaged in bad practices, and focused consistently on activating real onchain users.
Why do you want to serve on the AWE Grants and Community Council:
Having worked with AWE, I’ve always wanted to be deeply involved in its evolution. My past experience gave me a clear understanding of what it takes to build strong communities and maintain long-term trust across borders.
Looking ahead, I believe AWE’s grant and community programs have the potential to surface breakthrough projects that will define the next phase of onchain utility. I want to help identify and support these builders, especially those creating new models of agent collaboration and AI-powered infrastructure. With thoughtful support and localized insight, we can accelerate real-world use cases and grow AWE’s presence globally in meaningful and sustainable ways.
