Akulina Penzina

Akulina is one of those people who just gets things done - no matter what she sets her mind to. Obstacles? She doesn't see them as permanent; she powers through them without much fuss. She jumped into Web3 back in fall 2025, knowing pretty much nothing beyond the word "crypto". But now, honestly, I'd trust her as an ambassador for any project. Just give her a couple of days to dig in, and she'll be helping the community like a pro, better than a lot of moderators out there. She picked X (Twitter) as her main platform, and I think that was a smart move. You can really see how far she's come in such a short time. Her first project was Talus, and right after she joined their Discord, it was obvious she was catching on fast and knew her stuff. With a bit more time, she'll easily step up to community manager for most projects. And I truly believe that in six months, she'll be a serious influencer-one who actually shares useful info and helps people, not just chasing followers.

I’ve seen her works and her wins in the Talus contests and she’s a really good creator who knows how to work with AI like a pro.

Svetlana joined the Talus project in its third season and immediately lit up the community with her unbridled energy. She was a complete newcomer to the crypto niche, didn't know how to make videos using AI, and had just started a Twitter account. Nevertheless, in a very short time, she caught up with and surpassed most of the community members, earned a bunch of roles, learned how to make videos, became very enthusiastic about it, and churned them out one after another. She quickly began to gain subscribers, conduct streams/AMAs, She also did handicrafts — embroidery, knitting — and filmed content about it, which is highly valued in the community. She is pleasant to talk to, full of emotions, positivity, and energy — that's how Svetlana became the rising star of the project!
