According to the thread, Pacman studied at MIT and founded the Namebase project, which he subsequently sold.
Based on the information provided, the edition CoinDesk associated Pacman with profiles on LinkedIn And Crunchbase. According to the first, Tishun Rockerre [Tieshun Roquerre] dropped out of MIT, received a grant to create Namebase, and sold the project in 2021.
The LinkedIn profile also states that since January 2022, Rokerr has been the head of Stealth. In the ForkLog UA editorial network, we managed to find an enterprise with the same name. It is noted that it is engaged in software development.
On February 14, the marketplace hosted the first season of the BLUR airdrop. Against the backdrop of the distribution of packages with rewards, the platform outperformed the long-term leader of the segment, OpenSea, in terms of weekly trading volume.
Pacman later urged NFT creators to ignore the competing platform due to its royalty collection policy.
Against this background, the OpenSea team switched the marketplace to the “option collection” royalty model, temporarily canceled commissions and allowed assets to be listed on third-party sites.
On February 21, Blur announced the distribution of an additional 300 million tokens during the second season of the airdrop. The size of the reward package will depend on loyalty indicators.
