MoonCat AI Leadership
Joshua Allen-Nelson
Founder & CTO
Josh Allen-Nelson is the Founder and CTO of MoonCat, bringing over two decades of experience building mission critical systems to the DeFi space. His platform offers fee free staking with AI powered governance on Unichain Layer 2, and has cracked the top 30 on CertiK's pre-launch security leaderboard ahead of more than 1,000 other projects. Before diving into blockchain, Josh spent 20 years keeping enterprise systems running smoothly. He led QA teams of 70+ people across multiple time zones, specialising in SAP implementations, web application testing, automation, and API integrations. His reputation meant work came to him. He hasn't needed to apply for a job in years. When Josh spotted that DeFi protocols were struggling with the same reliability issues he'd solved in enterprise systems, he made the jump to blockchain development. He's since built MoonCat's entire technical stack from the ground up: the staking ecosystem, Gnosis Timelock governance system, and an AI service that helps users understand complex proposals. Today, Josh brings the same rigorous testing approach that kept enterprise systems humming to smart contract development and DeFi security. It's this attention to detail that's helped MoonCat achieve its impressive security ranking while still in pre-launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Staking
Staking allows MoonCat Token (MCT) holders to lock their tokens in our secure smart contract to earn passive rewards. When you stake your MCT tokens, you’re essentially participating in platform security while generating additional tokens as rewards. Our staking system operates on UniChain, providing lower gas fees than traditional Ethereum staking solutions. Users can stake any amount of MCT tokens and unstake at any time after the minimum staking period, making it a flexible way to grow your MoonCat holdings while supporting the ecosystem.
How does AI governance work?
MoonCat’s innovative AI governance system combines decentralized community voting with AI-assisted proposal analysis. Token holders who stake MCT gain voting rights proportional to their staked amount, allowing them to participate directly in key protocol decisions. Our governance smart contract integrates seamlessly with the staking contract, enabling stakers to vote on proposals submitted by community members or recommended by our AI analysis system. The AI component evaluates proposals based on security, economic impact, and alignment with project goals, providing stakers with additional insights to make informed decisions. All governance actions are secured through our multi-signature Gnosis Safe implementation and 48-hour timelock controllers, ensuring both security and transparency. This hybrid approach preserves decentralization while leveraging AI capabilities to enhance proposal quality and community engagement. As with all MoonCat components, our governance system undergoes comprehensive security audits before implementation, maintaining our commitment to user safety and protocol integrity.
Is MoonCat secure?
Yes, MoonCat implements industry-leading security measures to protect user assets and ensure protocol stability. Our smart contracts have been thoroughly audited by CertiK, a leading blockchain security firm, and we’ve implemented all their recommended security measures. Additionally, all core team members have completed comprehensive KYC (Know Your Customer) verification through CertiK, adding an extra layer of accountability and transparency. For our Banxa integration, we’ve also completed KYB (Know Your Business) verification, ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements for fiat on-ramps. Our multi-signature Gnosis Safe wallets require multiple approvals for any administrative action, while our 48-hour timelock controllers add an additional layer of security and transparency. We utilize role-based access control to restrict sensitive functions, and all contract upgrades go through a rigorous security review process. These measures, combined with regular security assessments, make MoonCat one of the most secure cryptocurrency projects on UniChain.
How can MoonCat offer zero fees?
MoonCat offers completely tax-free staking through our innovative economic model that funds rewards sustainably without charging users. Unlike traditional protocols that impose fees or taxes, our staking pool is funded directly from our liquidity optimization pools and other value-generating initiatives built into the platform’s ecosystem. This approach is made possible by operating on UniChain, which provides significantly lower operational costs compared to Ethereum mainnet. We’ve further enhanced efficiency by implementing gas-optimized smart contracts and batching mechanisms for common operations, reducing transaction costs to a minimum. By generating value through genuine utility and maintaining lean operations, we can pass these benefits directly to our users in the form of tax-free staking with competitive rewards. This unique fee structure creates a more accessible DeFi experience with minimal barriers to entry, making MoonCat particularly attractive for investors of all sizes who seek efficient returns without hidden costs or complex fee structures.
What is UniChain?
UniChain is a high-performance, Ethereum-compatible blockchain that offers the security of Ethereum with significantly improved speed and lower transaction costs. With a block time of just a few seconds and gas fees that are a fraction of Ethereum’s, UniChain provides an ideal foundation for DeFi applications like MoonCat. The chain maintains full compatibility with Ethereum tools and standards, allowing seamless integration with popular wallets like MetaMask and Web3 frameworks. UniChain’s growing ecosystem includes various DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and cross-chain bridges, creating a vibrant environment for MoonCat users to access additional services and opportunities while enjoying the benefits of reduced costs and faster transactions.
