Why I’m Running Again

Since joining the Platform Council in August (2 Months ago), I’ve hit the ground running:

  • Attended 100% of Platform and Treasury Council meetings

  • Helped organise internal workflows and collaboration across councils

  • Co-built the Telcoin Network Roadmap site + the Telcoin Hub

  • Contributed to multiple proposals, debates, and community discussions

  • Represented the Telcoin Association at physical industry events (another one coming up end of Oct)

  • Invested 15–20 hours per week into Council and governance-related work

Though my term has been short, I’ve worked hard to bring structure, clarity, and action to the role — and I’m running again to continue that progress with a full-term mandate.

What I’ll Keep Delivering

  • Support for developers looking to build on the Telcoin Network (onboarding, GSMA guidance, grant support)

  • Practical, actionable proposals that reflect both community needs and ecosystem realities

  • Consistent updates and engagement via Telegram, X, and Discord

  • A results-driven mindset focused on shipping, not just talking

Experience Highlights

  • Early and consistent Telcoin supporter since shortly after the ICO

  • Founder of a successful B2B IT company (project delivery, technical support, team leadership)

  • Led global sales/marketing for Nokia servicing tools (non-dev role in a reverse-engineering team)

  • Creator of Blu3Chips — a gamified Web3 community and discovery hub

  • Founder of the TEL Community Telegram group

  • Built the Telcoin Community Hub (TelcoinHub)

  • Selected as one of the first 100 Polygon Advocates, hosted TalkYourDapp, and recognised by Polygon for ecosystem contributions

Time Commitment

15–20 hours per week (and often more when needed).

Thank you again for the opportunity and your support. I’d be honoured to continue representing the Developer Miner Group and helping push Telcoin Association / Network forward with transparency, consistency, and care.

Specializations

Marketing and Education

My background is in marketing and entrepreneurship. I’ve been building businesses for nearly two decades and joined the crypto space in 2017. I focus on turning complex ideas into clear, actionable tools and educational content. Especially for newcomers to Telcoin. Most recently, I authored and narrated a multi-part video walkthrough of Telcoin.AI to help users explore the Telcoin ecosystem with ease.

Communication and Ecosystem Development

I’ve been actively part of the Telcoin community since 2020 and now serve as a Telegram Telcoin Community Mod, helping users understand and navigate the Telcoin ecosystem. I also created and operate Telcoin.AI, a custom GPT used by many in the community. I’m deeply committed to helping onboard the next generation of Telcoin users and ecosystem contributors and communicating clearly across governance, development, and product topics.

Production Coordination

I’m currently finalizing a TELIP to deploy a branded, high-utility Telcoin AI Assistant across Telcoin.org and TELx.network . Unlike basic chat widgets, this assistant is powered by a custom-trained large language model (LLM) that understands the full Telcoin ecosystem. From remittances and governance to staking, licensing, and more. It offers deep, reliable answers based on curated documentation and delivers internal analytics reports that help improve onboarding and ecosystem clarity.

The public prototype, Telcoin.AI, has already helped a wide range of community members and the version proposed in the TELIP is a major step up in both functionality and long-term value.

I’ve also created an instructional YouTube video series showing how to get the most out of Telcoin.AI. One of them was just on how to maximize content generation by using the Storm Community repository for content creation.

My goal is always to build accessible, useful tools and to empower others to do the same across the ecosystem.

Council Nomination Application

Introduction

I’ve been an active community member since 2020 and a strong believer in Telcoin’s mission to bring better financial tools to everyone. Especially through partnerships with mobile networks and the compliance-first architecture of the Telcoin Platform.

Over time, I’ve found myself drawn deeper into the governance side of the ecosystem. I believe good governance is the foundation for long-term success, and I’m excited to represent the Developers Miner Group on the Platform Council as both a contributor and a doer.

Telcoin Platform Experience

I’ve used the Telcoin App extensively and actively supported the community as a Telegram mod. I’ve been a $TEL staker, brought new users to the platform through referrals, and regularly attend or listen to Council calls to stay informed on developments and decision-making.

I also created Telcoin AI, a community tool that helps users navigate the ecosystem, and I’m authoring a TELIP to expand that concept into a site-integrated assistant for both Telcoin.org and TELx.network.

Why I Should Be Selected

I bring the perspective of a long-time ecosystem community member, contributor and builder. My background is in business, marketing, and entrepreneurship, and I’ve founded multiple companies over the past 18 years in a variety of industries. I’m a community mod, governance participant, content creator, and tool builder which are all focused on increasing access and transparency.

I also have zero hesitation working across Councils if that’s what helps Telcoin move forward. Doing whatever it takes is what is needed for Telcoin and I’m ready to bring that to the table.

Why I’m Running

I want to ensure Telcoin governance stays active, creative, and responsive. Especially as the Telcoin Network Layer 1 comes online.

I believe the Developers group should play a huge role in shaping how the protocol evolves, and I want to represent that voice from the start. Proposing ideas, building things, and helping future builders succeed.

Planned Improvements

I plan to:

  • Help shape how developer activity grows across the Telcoin Network

  • Suggest ways to attract new builders and contributors with the right tools and incentives

  • Propose content and support materials to increase clarity across the board

  • Build more tools that support onboarding, governance participation, and education

  • Collaborate across Councils when needed to move good ideas forward

Representation & Communication

As a Telegram mod and regular community participant, I’ll keep lines of communication open via Discord, Telegram, and X. I’ll make sure Developers have a voice in governance and understand what’s happening behind the scenes.

Time Commitment
I’ve set aside 15–20 hours per week specifically for Council responsibilities. I’ve reorganized my business and personal schedule to ensure this role receives steady attention and focus.

——

Thank you for taking the time to read my application. I look forward to serving on the Platform Council and helping grow Telcoin to new heights.

Nick - You’ve consistently gone above and beyond for Telcoin and it shows. Telcoin’s presence and effectiveness have grown since you’ve been involved and you’re just gettin started. I can only imagine what you can do once you’ve had enough time to materialize all of the impactful ideas you’ve brought to the table.

I 100% nominate James - he’s one of my best friends. Got me into the world of everything TEL and has been super committed to supporting the mission. He’d add a tremendous amount of support to Tel ecosystem as a whole and is as credible and hardworking as they come. It would only be an asset to all things TEL. Plus, he’s not only got a huge brain but a big heart. Also, he created the Telcoin AI which is a gamechanger in and of itself for continuing to support Tel easily via social networks.

As I’ve been interacting on social media with James over the past months I can say he made great impression to me as someone who has a clear vision on Telcoin as a whole. He’s a straight up guy with eyes on the ball. The deployment of telcoin.ai was a tremendous job he managed to create. Helping the community searching for reliable information and ways to spread that information over multiple socials. At present there are tremendous people at the councils table, but if there is one that could be a great addition or replacement it’s James. I wish you well and thanks for all the hard work you’ve been doing so far. You’re a true Telcoin Family Member.

James has been an absolute asset to the community on all fronts. He is extremely knowledgeable, active and motivated. He has taken it upon himself to build out Telcoin.ai which I use regularly on his own dime and time. He’s a mod for in the unofficial TG groups and is loved by all. James is also extremely active on X with consistent posting and engagement. When I first joined the community, I thought he was a council member already. I vouch for James 100% and hope he can find a well-deserved position on his desired counsel. All around great person.

I definitely nominate James for a seat on the Telcoin Council a true builder, strategist, and community force.

James doesn’t just talk about advancing the Telcoin ecosystem; he builds the tools to make it happen. He’s the creator of Telcoin GPT, the first AI knowledge layer designed specifically to help users, partners, and developers navigate Telcoin’s world of compliant digital finance with clarity and confidence.

His work shows the kind of initiative and foresight that strengthens governance, someone who blends technical understanding, community empathy, and long-term vision. James has consistently elevated the conversation around what Telcoin can become: a bridge between Web3 innovation and real-world financial access.
James is the man that can get us on a T1 exchange if that is what is in the best interest of Telcoin.

For these reasons, I strongly recommend James for the Telcoin Council. His leadership would be an asset to the network, the community, and Telcoin’s mission to put the power of digital money in every mobile user’s hands.
