WORK HISTORY

ABOUT CHRISTIE RUSS

Christie Russ is a 2X Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, with Blockchain Made Simple and The Power to Rise both reaching #1, a blockchain architect, speaker, and educator focused on the real-world application of decentralized systems and AI-powered infrastructure. Since 2019, she has been studying and building in blockchain infrastructure. In 2021, she created the CFC Token on the XRP Ledger, which ranked in the top 1% of over 9,300 tokens within its first two weeks and remains in the top 0.004% of more than XRPL tokens today. She is the Founder and CEO of Center for Creators and the sole architect and developer of the CFC NFT Learn & Earn Marketplace, a blockchain-powered platform where books, articles, workshops, and services are published as NFTs with participation embedded directly into the experience. Christie independently designed and built the marketplace, including its built-in reader, which customizes questions and engagement based on the content itself and rewards participation through the CFC Token. She also embedded custom AI Agents into NFTs, allowing each book, article, or workshop to carry an intelligence layer trained on its specific content, creating guided interaction and a new model for how knowledge is experienced. Her work introduces a Circular Knowledge Economy where content, participation, and value are structurally connected inside a single system. In addition, she is Co-Founder and CEO of Frigga Labs, where she designed the CFC Rewards DApp, and serves as Head of Blockchain for Women in Tech NWA. Entirely self-taught, she designed and built the full infrastructure behind the Center for Creators ecosystem. Her work sits at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure, human development, and creator economies, focused on building systems that move beyond speculation into real-world use.
