Scotty (bearish)

Scott (scottybmitch) is a full-stack Web3 developer and co-founder of bearish_af and xeetdotai, focused on onchain game infrastructure, smart contract architecture, and developer tooling. Known professionally as a "dev of things in web3," Scott brings deep technical expertise across multiple blockchain projects, specializing in building game engines, tokenomics systems, and consumer-facing Web3 applications designed to scale.

Technical Background & Game Development

Scott's background spans several notable Web3 gaming and infrastructure projects. He contributed to Valeria Studios, a blockchain gaming incubator and developer collective, working on NFT integration and game tokenomics. He also worked on The Plague, a blockchain game project, and Jirasan, contributing to smart contract design and gameplay mechanics. Additionally, Scott contributed to Origin Protocol, demonstrating versatility across DeFi, NFT, and gaming verticals.

His technical approach emphasizes building systems where game economics align with player incentives—a philosophy evident in Bearish's design. Unlike traditional games where mechanics are hidden, Bearish projects make token distribution, NFT utility, and reward mechanics transparent and accessible to community members through open documentation and live-build sessions.

Bearish Technical Leadership

As co-founder of Bearish, Scott leads the technical architecture behind flagship projects like Blinko, a physics-based onchain game featuring Plinko-style mechanics. Blinko's early success—15,000 games played within the first five hours—demonstrates Scott's ability to ship consumer-ready experiences quickly on Abstract.

Scott also spearheaded the Bearish Berry economy, implementing a dual-currency system (Red Berry for engagement rewards, Blue Berry for legacy value translation) that allows both types of in-game currency to be exchanged between users and used across the ecosystem. This technical architecture requires sophisticated smart contract design to manage currency conversion rates, holder rewards, and long-term stability.

Builder Education & Vibe Coding

Scott is instrumental in Bearish's commitment to teaching others to build. He leads Vibe Coding workshops and Bearish Test Flight builder sprints, which are hands-on, 5-day intensive programs designed to teach the Bearish community how to develop games and applications using AI-assisted tooling like V0.dev.

During these sprints, Scott hosts "Campfire Coding" sessions where participants collaborate in real time, debugging projects, solving technical challenges, and refining their creations ahead of a final Demo Day presentation. This hands-on teaching approach reinforces Bearish's philosophy that shipping and learning-by-doing matter more than credentials or formal gatekeeping.

One notable example is a trivia game built in under 10 minutes using V0.dev and Abstract Wallet integration, which Scott documented to illustrate how modern AI tooling democratizes game development. The 69-question quiz—with 6.9-second time limits and a "Jackpot" perfect score reward—became a case study in rapid prototyping and community engagement mechanics.

XEET.ai & Creator Tokenomics

Alongside Toli, Scott co-founded @XEET_ai, a SocialFi protocol that rewards real influence through creator tournaments and AI-driven reputation systems. Scott's technical contributions focus on the smart contract layer that tracks creator performance, manages token distribution, and ensures fair, transparent reward allocation across both Myriad Markets and Abstract Chain participants.

Philosophy & Approach

Scott's development philosophy emphasizes transparency in game mechanics, rapid iteration, and building in public. Rather than hiding tokenomics or NFT utility behind closed development, Bearish projects document the building process, share code examples, and invite community participation in refining systems. This approach aligns with Abstract's broader mission to make blockchain technology more accessible and understandable to mainstream users.
