Early Life and Career

Shaun hails from a background rich in business acumen and technological prowess. Prior to founding AntFun, he was deeply involved in China's ToB (business services) sector. Shaun rose to prominence as the chairman of a significant company within this space, successfully navigating it to the 新三板 innovation layer, a higher tier of the New Third Board, in China. ^[1]​

Shaun's prior experience laid the groundwork for his understanding of how to leverage cutting-edge technology to solve real-world problems, particularly focusing on areas where artificial intelligence could drive innovation.

Founding of ANT.FUN

In response to the limits he faced in the traditional business sector, Shaun founded AntFun as a solution that could escape these constraints. ANT.FUN emerged as a Web3 trading platform, leveraging the Solana blockchain to provide a decentralized trading and liquidity aggregation platform.

The platform's rapid growth is underpinned by features designed for both novice and experienced traders, including advanced wallet tracking and market signal integration. ^[2]​

At the Finternet 2025 Asia Digital Finance Summit, Shaun articulated the vision for AntFun as more than just a trading platform; he portrayed it as part of a broader movement towards three-dimensional financial applications enabled by the coupling of stablecoins with artificial general intelligence (AGI). This vision reflects his belief that the combination of AGI and blockchain technology can fundamentally reshape economic structures globally. ^[4]​
