Rob Eijgenraam has been leading TokenMinds since the first wave of Web3. He founded this blockchain development company to help companies and projects integrate blockchain and launch products.
Over time, he watched markets evolve from quick speculation to real-world use cases. Many TokenMinds customers grew rapidly during the Web3 bull markets. Things changed following the collapse of FTX and the broader liquidity crisis. Budgets became tighter, investor confidence fell and many planned launches were postponed or canceled.
These changes in a volatile industry shaped the way Rob works with TokenMinds today. The strong growth and sharp declines changed his attitude towards Web3. He is now focusing on solutions that can survive entire market cycles, not just peaks. This work includes AI agents, DeFi architecture, and post-quantum-enabled blockchain designs.
Background and early career of Rob Eijgenraam
Rob has a Master’s degree in Entrepreneurship from Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus. He also completed a business administration degree at the National University of Singapore.
Before Web3, he held leadership positions in digital marketing and e-commerce. During this time, he came into contact with brands that needed clearer growth and retention systems. From then on, he saw an opportunity to help projects make better use of blockchain. He then founded TokenMinds as a blockchain development company to help companies integrate blockchain and launch scalable Web3 products.
Track record of Web3 spikes and crashes
TokenMinds was developed during the early transition to the Web3 era. Led by Rob Eijgenraam, the team helped projects launch tokens and on-chain products. They worked on ICOs, DeFi, gaming and NFT initiatives in different cycles. These years have shown Rob how quickly demand can increase when markets turn bullish.
Then the market reversed. The FTX collapse and liquidity shortage affected many ongoing and planned projects. Customers cut budgets, delayed launches, or stopped using Web3 extensions altogether. Rob used this time to review how TokenMinds planned and carried out its work.
He pushed for processes that remain stable in both good and bad markets. That meant narrower scopes, more rigorous testing and more structured rollout plans. Rob also took the team deeper into AI systems and the core architecture of blockchain. These decisions now shape the solutions that TokenMinds develops for the next phase.
Transitioning to a future-proof blockchain infrastructure with AI
After going through many ups and downs and gaining a deeper understanding of the Web3 market, his strategy changed. Rob began to focus more on systems that could operate for longer periods of time. This was his solution to the volatility and rapid changes in the industry. Under his leadership, TokenMinds began spending more time developing products powered by artificial intelligence (AI). For Rob, AI is now an integral part of how modern blockchain systems work.
He also covered DeFi and financial architecture in on-chain systems. By integrating AI and blockchain technology, all components such as staking, rewards and other Web3 operating systems can run autonomously and at the same time in a decentralized manner. With this implementation, every part of the operation becomes transparent, auditable, and ready for larger volumes of users.
This integration also improves governance and compliance. The roles of management, control and risk will undoubtedly be strengthened by the powerful combination of blockchain and AI. Thanks to this, TokenMinds has successfully launched important products for the company’s growth. Starting with TMX AI, an AI agent that can help with community management and increase user engagement. To TMX Tokenize, which can help Web2 companies transition to Web3. So that they can easily get used to the new internet age.
Under Rob’s leadership, TokenMinds has grown into a leading blockchain development company helping various types of companies adopt Web3 technology. The company operates a dedicated blockchain development team for core technical deployment. Additionally, the company operates a separate Web3 marketing division focused on growth and adoption. This setup allows customers to work with a partner to build and promote. With customized builds and flagship products, TokenMinds aims to provide long-term solutions. These systems are designed to remain stable even in the face of post-quantum threats. The goal is simple: build systems that can withstand both markets and regulation.
Giving back to the Web3 and Blockchain community
Rob doesn’t just develop products or customized decentralized platforms. He also shares his knowledge and experience with the large Web3 community. Over the years, he has accompanied many startups and companies in the development and implementation of blockchain and AI technologies. This wealth of experience has made him a source of information. Therefore, he often finds gaps between ideas, implementation and implementation in practice. He always uses these findings as a basis to find and provide new solutions for many companies in the Web3 industry.
In November 2025, Rob was invited to speak at the Post-Quantum Blockchain Day in Phuket. This event brought together experts in quantum security, blockchain and long-term digital infrastructure. Rob participated as a panelist in a session on AI and Web3 trust. There he shared lessons from real projects, market crises and complex integrations. For him, these sessions are a way to give back to the ecosystem. He uses them to discuss what’s working, what’s failing, and what needs to change. This mix of building, mentoring and lecturing shapes the way he supports the ecosystem today. For him, these small contributions will help all players in the industry succeed in their own way.
What leaders can learn from this trip
As Rob’s career shows, Web3’s success is not dependent on timing and luck. Web3 founders and leaders need tools and mechanisms that continue to work as the market changes.
What a Web3 founder must first understand is cycles. Cycles are normal in this industry, even if they seem extreme. Whether it’s a sharp correction or rapid growth, companies need to consider strategy when planning. Secondly, architecture is of utmost importance. It is important for the company’s stakeholders to recognize which systems and architectures can survive and thrive in this market. The integration of new technologies such as AI, governance implementation or even security must function as a well-integrated system. These points are just some of the things that need to be taken into account by blockchain development services.
Finally, there is a way to help others advance this Web3 space. In this fast-growing industry, community collaboration and knowledge sharing help the ecosystem mature. Conversations, mentoring and open discussion help reduce repeated errors in different projects. This way the industry can also grow well. For Rob, his experience with TokenMinds can serve as a guide for other companies.
