Professional

I work at Native Markets in Growth and Operations. Native Markets is building USDH, a dollar on the Hyperliquid blockchain that makes payments faster, cheaper, and programmable. I help grow our product and make our company run.

I've previously worked (reverse chronologically):

at Uniswap Labs on strategy and operations,
at Circle on public policy,
at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on payments and retail banking policy, and
for Congressman Jason Smith of Missouri.

I graduated cum laude from Claremont McKenna College, majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. I wrote my thesis on conceptions of property rights at the time of the American Founding.

Past (public) work

I publish long-form thoughts periodically at zachrwong.info/writing.
I taught myself to code and work on personal projects in my free time; you can find them on Github.
I tweet @mud2monarch. I started my Twitter account as a pseudonymous profile named "Gyges Lydias." Gyges is a character in Plato's Republic.
At Uniswap Labs, I worked on the Unification proposal, the business plan for Unichain, and other major projects. I co-authored the Protocol Fee Discount Auction and Unichain whitepapers.
I wrote Circle's comment letter to the SEC on DeFi regulation, and I was the lead author on some other letters.
At the CFPB, I contributed to the Dodd-Frank Section 1033 ANPR and the Big Tech information orders.
At Claremont McKenna, I was one of four student representatives on CMC's 2019 Strategy Committee, which developed and published a strategic review ahead of a new capital campaign that has raised over $1 billion.

Hobbies

I enjoy endurance sports including backcountry ski mountaineering, trail running, and cycling. I used to live in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I follow Formula 1 racing and mixed martial arts.
I enjoy cooking, fine food, coffee, and wine.
