"Steady Voice in the Web3 Noise"

I’ve crossed paths with rmendonca a few times in testnet chats, and he’s one of those people you end up remembering. He has a calm way of breaking down messy updates into something the rest of us can actually follow. I still recall a late-night thread where he spotted an issue in a validator setup before anyone else did, and his explanation saved me a couple of hours. He also has a sharp eye for early projects. More than once I’ve seen him point out an NFT or protocol long before it started getting attention. It’s the kind of quiet insight that makes you want to check what he’s watching next.
