Meet Sen: Binance Angel and Successful NFT Artist

Hi everyone! My name is Sen and I'll be sharing how I started my journey as an Angel on Binance. When Binance arrived in 2017, it was clearly ahead of the competition both in execution speed and usability. At that moment, I knew I was looking at the future industry leader, and in less than a year, time proved me right. 

After I heard about the Binance Angel Program from a live broadcast on the Binance Youtube channel, I immediately applied since it was a dream to help this company that I have so much passion for. In mid 2020, my wish came true and I officially joined the team to help newcomers start their journey in the world of crypto!  

In addition to giving, I have received a lot through this program. The Angel program has been an amazing avenue to meet like-minded people who are driven by the same passion for blockchain.

Forming Lifelong Friendships Through the Binance Angel Program

Beyond the professional relationships, I’ve also formed life-long friendships. In addition to the diverse roster of Angels in the global program, there’s also a close-knit group of Binance Angels who look after the French community, where we can all count on one another. 

Because of Binance Smart Chain’s simplicity, scalability and low fees, a strong group was necessary to manage the large influx of new users who were curious to learn more about this new alternative to traditional finance investments. The complexities within DeFi also motivated me to launch a project that outlines all the BSC DApps, making them more accessible to the French-speaking community.

Discovering the NFT Community Through Binance NFT

One thing led to another, and I discovered a passion for art and its different modes of expression, including NFTs and 3D animation. Some people see NFTs as a tool for speculation or artistic expression, but I see it as the pinnacle of freedom of expression. A freedom that is easily accessible and without barriers. 

In order to share this collection with as many people as possible and raise awareness about NFTs, I decided to join Binance NFT to take advantage of the platform’s large in-built audience.

Since I joined Binance NFT, I have created 122 NFTs in total, with 86 of them having sold already. In addition, I have several NFT series in progress, and create incremental versions to ensure more people have a chance to own these artworks.

Through Binance NFT, I’m able to meet with other artists in the NFT community. So far, I’m satisfied with the launch of the NFT platform, though there are some pending technical features that will be implemented soon. Luckily, Binance has been listening closely to creators as well as users, so there’s a lot of potential for additional growth.
