Dr. Awesome Doge

Awesome Doge

Bitcoin OG since 2013. I founded Asia’s largest Bitcoin community and the Taipei Bitcoin Meetup. I’ve translated 15+ blockchain books into Chinese — Mastering Bitcoin, Programming Bitcoin, Mastering the Lightning Network, The Blocksize War, and more.

I hold a Master’s from Peking University, conducted blockchain security research at Academia Sinica (IIS), and attended the PhD program at National Taiwan University (EE). In 2021 I joined the founding team of TON Blockchain.

Today I’m building t402 — an open-source HTTP-native payment protocol for USDT. It uses the HTTP 402 status code to turn any web endpoint into a paid resource, supporting 47 networks, gasless transactions via ERC-4337, and AI agent payments.

17+ Books & Papers Translated
