Farhan Tanvir Ifti
I, Farhan Tanvir Ifti, didn’t start in blockchain. I started as a dreamer from Bogura, Bangladesh, believing that the impossible is just the next challenge waiting to be solved. “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream” has been my guiding philosophy since childhood, and it’s that mindset that led me here.
My journey into decentralized technology began with open knowledge. Since 2016, I’ve been contributing to Wikipedia, helping build the world’s largest free encyclopedia. In 2021, I joined Telegram as a translator, breaking down language barriers across global communities. I also contributed to 1001Tracklists, connecting music lovers worldwide. These weren’t just volunteer projects; they were my introduction to the power of decentralized collaboration.
But it was Web3 that showed me the future being built in real time.
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”
Edgar Allan Poe
From Communities to Code
My introduction to crypto came during my college days, when I met Ashikur Rahaman, a friend who was already deep into cryptocurrency trading. He opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know existed, where code could create value, communities could form around shared belief in technology, and the future of finance was being rewritten in real time. What started as curiosity quickly became obsession.
I entered the blockchain space as a community manager, building and leading vibrant communities for projects like PSRS Token ($PSRS), AME Chain ($AME), Tron Flight Ticket ($TFT), Mouse Coin ($MIC3), Kilopi ($LOP), and SafePal ($SFP). I was recognized as the best community manager for multiple consecutive months, but more importantly, I discovered my calling: creating spaces where innovation meets genuine human connection.
The journey evolved. I moved into listing coordination at Broxus and DigiFinex, then became listing manager at LAToken Exchange. Eventually, I stepped into the role of Head of Community at XT Exchange, where I helped shape strategy at the intersection of technology and people.
But community building was just one chapter. I wanted to build the infrastructure itself.
Building the Decentralized Future
Farhan Tanvir Ifti ‘s Smart Contract Development Journey
Today, I’m a blockchain and smart contract developer, working primarily with Ethereum after cutting my teeth on Tron. On December 29th, 2020, I deployed my first smart contract, the iFTi token named after me, Farhan Tanvir Ifti, marking my transition from community builder to an actual builder of blockchain infrastructure. That moment of seeing my code live on-chain, immutable and executing autonomously, was when I knew this was more than just a career. This was the future I wanted to build.
From there, I, Farhan Tanvir Ifti, dove into founding ventures. With Ashikur Rahaman, I co-founded Revamped Music ($MP3), a blockchain platform merging music and Web3 technology, and CryptoPedia Bangla, a Bengali crypto education community. With Nafis Rafi, I experimented beyond blockchain: launching Let’s Inside and Distorted Brain as creative writing projects exploring content and community in different forms.
Beyond my development work, I continue building multiple crypto startups—some solo, some in collaboration, most still in stealth mode. These ventures focus on trading communities and innovative solutions in the Web3 space. Some have succeeded, some have taught me expensive lessons, but each one has shaped how I think about building products people actually need. Building with people you trust, who share your vision, makes the wins sweeter and the failures easier to learn from.
I’m not here to chase hype cycles or promise moon shots. I’m here to build cool stuff, solve real problems, and enjoy the journey of creation. Every line of code is a small dream made tangible. Every project is another color in the palette. I dream in colors you’ve never seen, and I’m turning them into reality, one smart contract at a time.
The Rhythm of Innovation
Here’s something most developers won’t tell you: I find my best ideas at 138 BPM.
Music has been my constant companion since 2015, when Alan Walker’s “Faded” opened the door to electronic dance music. But it was in 2020, when I discovered trance through ARTY (Alpha 9)’s “Must Be the Love,” that everything clicked. There’s something about the progressive builds, the euphoric drops, the way a perfect trance set takes you on a journey—it mirrors exactly what we’re doing in blockchain.
Both are about tension and release. Both are about building something greater than the sum of its parts. Both are about community, energy, and the belief that the next moment could be transcendent.
When I’m not writing smart contracts or architecting decentralized systems, you’ll find me lost in a trance set, discovering new tracks, or vibing to the sounds that fuel my creativity. Music isn’t just a hobby: it’s how I think, how I dream, and how I build.

Why I Do This
I’ve always been a dreamer. The kid from Bogura who looked at the world and saw not what it was, but what it could become. Blockchain isn’t just technology to me; it’s the infrastructure for dreams that haven’t been dreamed yet. It’s the foundation for colors that don’t exist in the visible spectrum.
I’m building because I believe in a decentralized future where power is distributed, where communities own their destinies, where innovation doesn’t need permission. I’m building because every startup, every smart contract, every community I’ve shaped is another brushstroke in a painting only I can see, until it’s real.
Some days I’m deep in Solidity, debugging contracts and optimizing gas fees. Other days I’m strategizing on startups, thinking about market fit and community growth. Every evening, I’m probably listening to a progressive trance set, letting the music rewire my thoughts for tomorrow’s problems.
