Since the first wave of Web3, Rob Eijgenraam has led TokenMinds. He built this blockchain development company to help businesses and projects integrate blockchain and launch products.
Over time, he saw markets move from fast speculation to real use cases. Many TokenMinds clients grew quickly during the Web3 bull markets. Things changed after the FTX collapse and the wider liquidity crisis. Budgets tightened, investor trust dropped, and many planned launches were delayed or cancelled.
Those shifts in a volatile industry shaped how Rob works today with TokenMinds. Seeing both strong growth and deep crashes changed how he views Web3. He now focuses on solutions that can survive full market cycles, not only peaks. That work includes AI agents, DeFi architecture, and post-quantum-ready blockchain designs.
Background & Early Career of Rob Eijgenraam
Rob holds a master’s in Entrepreneurship from Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus. He also completed a business degree at the National University of Singapore.
Before Web3, he worked in digital marketing and e-commerce leadership roles. This period exposed him to brands that needed clearer growth and retention systems. From there, he saw an opportunity to help projects use blockchain better. He then founded TokenMinds as a blockchain development company to help companies integrate blockchain and launch scalable Web3 products.
Track Record Through Web3 Peaks and Crashes
TokenMinds was built during the early transition into the Web3 era. Under Rob Eijgenraam’s leadership, the team helped projects launch tokens and on-chain products. They worked across ICOs, DeFi, gaming, and NFT initiatives in different cycles. Those years showed Rob how fast demand can rise when markets turn bullish.
Then the market reversed. The FTX collapse and liquidity squeeze hit many ongoing and planned projects. Clients cut budgets, delayed launches, or froze Web3 expansion entirely. Rob used that period to review how TokenMinds planned and delivered work.
He pushed for processes that stay stable in both good and bad markets. That meant tighter scopes, stronger testing, and more structured launch plans. Rob also steered the team deeper into AI systems and core blockchain architecture. These decisions now shape the solutions TokenMinds builds for the next phase.
Shift Toward 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 over a longer period of time. This was his solution to the volatility and rapid changes in the industry. Under his leadership, TokenMinds began to allocate more time to building products driven by artificial intelligence (AI). For Rob, AI is now an integral part of how modern blockchain systems operate.
He also delved into DeFi and finance architecture in on-chain systems. With the integration of AI and blockchain technology, all components such as staking, rewards, and other web3 operating systems can run autonomously while also being decentralized. With this implementation, each part of the operation becomes transparent, auditable, and ready for larger user volumes.
This integration also simultaneously improves governance and compliance. The roles of management, control, and risk are undoubtedly enhanced by the powerful combination of Blockchain and AI. Thanks to this, TokenMinds has successfully launched significant products for the company’s growth. Starting from TMX AI, which is an AI agent that can help with community management and boost user engagement. To TMX Tokenize, which is able to help Web2 companies transition to Web3. So that they can easily adopt the new internet era.
Under Rob’s leadership, TokenMinds has become a leading blockchain development company that helps various types of businesses adopt Web3 technology. The company runs a dedicated blockchain development team for core technical delivery. It also operates a separate Web3 marketing division focused on growth and adoption. This setup lets clients work with one partner for build and promotion. With custom builds and flagship products, TokenMinds aims to provide long-term solutions. These systems are designed to remain stable, even under post-quantum threats. The goal is simple, is to build systems that survive both markets and regulation.
Giving Back to the Web3 and Blockchain Community
Rob doesn’t just build products or custom decentralized platforms. He also shares his knowledge and experience with the large Web3 community. Over the years, he has guided many startups and companies in developing and implementing blockchain and AI technologies. This wealth of experience has made him a fountain of information. As a result, he often finds gaps between ideas, implementation, and real-world adoption. He always uses these findings as a basis for finding and providing new solutions for many companies in the Web3 industry.
In November 2025, Rob was invited to speak at Post-Quantum Blockchain Day in Phuket. This event brought together experts in quantum security, blockchain, and long-term digital infrastructure. Rob joined 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 works, what fails, and what needs to be changed. This blend of building, mentoring, and speaking shapes how 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 Journey
As Rob’s career shows, Web3 success does not depend on timing and luck. Web3 founders and leaders need tools and mechanisms that will continue to function as the market shifts.
What a Web3 founder needs to understand is, first, cycles. Cycles are normal in this industry, even when they seem extreme. Whether it’s a sharp correction or rapid growth, companies must consider strategy in their planning. Second, architecture is paramount. It is important for company stakeholders to be able to identify which systems and architectures can survive and thrive in this market. The integration of new technology such AI, governance implementation, or even security must function as a well-integrated system. These points are just a few of the things that need to be considered by blockchain development services.
Finally, there is a way we can help others to advance this Web3 space. In this rapidly growing industry, community collaboration and knowledge sharing help the ecosystem mature. Talking, mentoring, and open discussion help reduce repeated mistakes in various projects. This way, the industry can also grow well. For Rob, his experience with TokenMinds can build and serve as a guide for other companies.
