"First Principles Over Hype: The Architect's Mindset in Web3"

The Web3 space is saturated with narratives chasing short-term gains. Yet, the enduring value of this industry will not be defined by hype, but by the strength of its foundational layers. This requires an architect's mindset: a disciplined focus on first principles, scalability, and security. This is the approach I consistently see embodied in the work of Babak. Instead of getting distracted by surface-level trends, he concentrates on building the essential, often unglamorous, infrastructure that enables others to innovate. It’s a powerful lesson that the most critical contributions are often the ones that provide a stable foundation for the entire ecosystem to build upon. This is true, long-term value creation.
