I know Nomind from the DiaryMH group, where he’s well-known for helping members troubleshoot issues when running nodes. In his spare time, he often creates tutorials for different node projects and builds useful bots to support the ecosystem. His contributions have made it much easier for DiaryMH members to get started as node runners.

He is a good friend of mine. Nomid is a genuinely kind person the first one who taught me how to run a testnet node and helped me learn coding. One of his quirks, though, is that he’s firmly convinced ETH will one day hit $10,000. I’m not sure if that’s his source of dopamine or just an advanced level of wishful thinking! We first met at a small café on the outskirts of Tokyo, where he worked as a barista. Before we became close friends, I never would have guessed he had such contrasting skills. Not only is he an expert at brewing and crafting coffee, but he’s also highly skilled at solving coding challenges and running nodes.

I know Nomind not only from his timeline, but also from the long process of him building his identity as a grassroots builder in Web3. He is not the type who likes to show off, but if you look at his track record, from his GitHub contributions, testnet explorations, to his active participation in the Galxe and Zealy campaigns, you will know that he is serious and consistent. Technically, he’s tried a lot of things: creating an SP1 Proof playground, experimenting with Snapshot Subgraph using the Squid SDK, even developing big integer packages in JavaScript and Python. This isn’t just for fun; it’s proof of his high curiosity and willingness to learn from scratch. What I like is that he never acts like he knows everything. His communication style is relaxed, sometimes random, but there’s always a spirit of exploration behind it. He’s active across various ecosystems (zkSync, Sui, Osmosis, Arbitrum) and always tries new things, from minting NFTs to participating in community missions. He’s not just present; he contributes.

Meeting my mentor, Nomind, has been a profound lesson in how to live a life rich with passion. My journey into his world began through his expertise as a coffee connoisseur. He is more than just an enthusiast, he is a true artisan who taught me to appreciate the entire story behind the cup from the origin of the bean to the science of a perfect extraction. With incredible patience, he demystified the craft, transforming what was once a simple morning ritual into a deep, sensory experience for me. Yet, his mastery doesn't stop in the tangible world. Nomind is equally at home on the fast paced, digital frontier of Web3. He navigates the complexities of cryptocurrency and the blockchain with the same infectious enthusiasm and clarity he applies to coffee, making abstract digital concepts feel both accessible and exciting. It is this unique combination that truly defines him. In Nomind, the grounded artistry of coffee coexists beautifully with the forward thinking vision of the crypto space. It reveals a philosophy that values both timeless craftsmanship and disruptive innovation. Ultimately, the greatest lesson he has taught me is not just about brewing or blockchain, but about embracing curiosity, pursuing passions without limits, and finding joy in mastery, whatever the field. He is a remarkable guide, showing by example what a truly vibrant and multifaceted life looks like.

dedicated node operator with a passion for optimizing performance and digging deep into the technical side of things. He’s not just running nodes he is constantly fine tuning them, making sure everything runs at peak efficiency. Even better, he generously shares tips, tricks, and solutions with the community, helping others level up their node game. A true builder spirit who lifts the ecosystem with both skill and generosity.

he's not just technically skilled, but also a great community guy who genuinely loves to share his knowledge and lift others up. always helping out with troubleshooting and even creating detailed tutorials for complicated projects. it's clear he's super dedicated, constantly exploring new testnets, building cool stuff on github, and he's got a real knack for finding those early airdrops too.

It's very fitting that nomin chooses Gandalf as his PFP - as a builder he's shown not once but twice that he is able to successfully to foster a strong & excited community. Parallel made waves initially when they were funded by a16z & their game came out - it was a name that surfaced frequently not just on the TL but during gaming events IRL (e.g. GDC). Wayfinder topped the kaito mindshare charts as well & was one of the rare token launches this quarter that seems to hold up well. Founder led marketing definitely applies to him as well - he's very responsive & also professional in his responses (e.g. getting the record straight on the Wayfinder x Tokentable x Kaito situation)

I’ve come to know Nomind not just through his timeline, but through the journey he’s taken in shaping his role as a grassroots builder in Web3. He’s not someone who seeks the spotlight, but his body of work speaks volumes—from consistent GitHub activity and deep dives into testnets, to hands-on involvement in Galxe and Zealy campaigns, he shows real commitment and follow-through. On the technical side, he’s explored a wide range of projects: building an SP1 Proof playground, experimenting with Snapshot Subgraph via the Squid SDK, and even creating big integer libraries in both JavaScript and Python. These aren’t just side projects—they reflect his deep curiosity and drive to understand things from the ground up. What stands out most is his humility. He doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. His style is casual, sometimes a bit spontaneous, but always rooted in genuine interest and exploration. Whether he’s navigating ecosystems like zkSync, Sui, Osmosis, or Arbitrum, or joining in on NFT drops and community tasks, he doesn’t just show up—he makes an impact.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Nomind for a while, and his technical skills are genuinely impressive. As a Node Operator, he's incredibly reliable and has a deep understanding of infrastructure and security. What really sets him apart, though, is that he's also a phenomenal coder. He doesn't just maintain systems, he actively improves them with clean, efficient code. He's a sharp problem-solver and the kind of guy you can always count on to get the job done right. Can't recommend him enough!
