"smart guy with useful knowledge"

i first saw Foad in a shared TG group where people were weighing in on different testnet betas. he hopped in with a post comparing latency and gas usage between two layer-2s simple measurements, but super useful because most folks were just quoting press releases. later, i asked his help on a small bug in setting up cross-chain relayers. he dug into logs, helped pinpoint mismatches, and offered a patch suggestion. those hands-on moments are what got my respect. reliable, technical, and someone who doesn’t just talk he actually helps when it matters.
