Personal Intro: I’m Steven Naud(Hopperfield), a proud resident of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, and a passionate member of the My Pet Hooligan community since before its mint four years ago. I’m a tech enthusiast, organic gardener, music lover, and natural wine aficionado, but above all, I’m a devoted father to my three sons, who are the heart of my life. My journey with KarratCo began with My Pet Hooligan, where I fell in love with its innovative blend of gaming and blockchain. As one of the community’s most active moderators, I’ve integrated systems like Kgold for sports wagering and led initiatives such as sports brackets, poker seasons, and Discord events. Holding 20 Hooligans, over 50 Zuckbots, and more than 150,000 $KARRAT, I’m deeply invested in our ecosystem. Beyond KarratCo, I’m a tester for Web3 gaming projects like Off the Grid, Shrapnel, Xociety, Dead Drop, and Kompete, and I stay plugged into the crypto space by following cultural influencers and participating in NFT communities. My contributions, from organizing events to fighting FUD, have made me a recognized pillar of the My Pet Hooligan community.

Professional Background: My career spans diverse industries, showcasing my adaptability and leadership. After leaving school early to program apps, I completed my high school diploma and climbed the ranks in roles ranging from diamond drilling to managing a production shop for mine ventilation parts, eventually serving as a restaurant manager for two years. For over 20 years, I’ve been immersed in tech, building mIRC programs, running my own community on Undernet, and engaging with platforms like ICQ and MSN Messenger. As a My Pet Hooligan moderator, I’ve provided relentless support since the mint, combating scammers, defusing FUD, and launching community initiatives like sports wagers that boost engagement. My skills in community management, conflict resolution, and transparent communication shine through in my daily moderation and my active X presence (@Steezorius), where I share insights on crypto, NFTs, and KarratCo updates. As a big NFT and altcoin collector, I’m embedded in alpha groups and moderate token communities on Telegram, giving me a sharp understanding of the crypto landscape. I’ve also submitted KIPs and voted in every Snapshot, demonstrating my grasp of KarratCo’s governance.

Motivation: I’m driven to join the Security Council to represent the My Pet Hooligan community with transparency and passion, addressing concerns about the Foundation and current Council. KarratCo’s mission to revolutionize gaming through decentralization and player empowerment resonates deeply with me. I believe My Pet Hooligan and the Karrat Protocol have unlimited potential to create one of the greatest Web3 games ever, offering players unmatched engagement. As a Council member, I aim to protect the ecosystem from vulnerabilities, advocate for clear transparency reports, and support progressive decentralization to empower $KARRAT holders. My lifelong commitment to putting community first—often above my own interests—fuels my desire to ensure KarratCo thrives as a trusted, community-driven project.

Potential Conflicts (if any): I’m involved in several NFT and gaming projects, including testing for titles on chains like Avalanche, which I see as partners, not competitors. I believe teamwork makes the dream work, and my positive outlook fosters collaboration across the Web3 space. While I hold tokens and NFTs in various projects, none conflict with KarratCo’s interests. My heart lies with My Pet Hooligan and KarratCo, and I prioritize their success above all else. To ensure impartiality, I’d recuse myself from any Council decisions involving projects where I have a stake and fully comply with the Karrat Foundation’s compliance process. I have no other affiliations or business interests that would present a conflict.
