Leader & Chief Operating Officer, Onchain AG
Michał is the Leader & Chief Operating Officer at Onchain AG, a Web3 research company focused on uncovering real-world applications of blockchain technology.
At Onchain, Michał combines strategic leadership with hands-on research, helping shape the company’s direction while investigating how psychological, technological, and macroeconomic forces interact in the Web3 ecosystem. His core focus lies in understanding why people adopt innovation, how psychology influences it, and where Web3 really fits – or doesn’t.

From Tribalism to Brand Loyalty: Web3 Communities through psychological lenses
Tribalism is easy to trigger – and tricky to manage. Sometimes, it evolves into loyalty. On occasion, it burns out. And in the case of the most prominent Web3 communities, it pairs with the actual value of a project and constitutes a resilient shield.
Why Emotional Intelligence Is the Ultimate Edge for Web3 Founders
As Web3 humans, we love to make gains that are two or three times higher than the market average. But what if I told you that there is a skill that may provide such results in way more important, non-investment areas of your work? Let’s explore emotional intelligence from the perspective of a “typical” Web3 leader.
