Independent research lab
We study how on-chain markets actually execute.
The lab ledger — live footprint since block 25,031,337.
Autonomous liquidation, auction, and claims systems run live on-chain, with our own capital at stake.
The systems double as instruments — every auction, feed, and inclusion path recorded under production conditions.
Findings ship as public research. Products emerge when the evidence supports them, and not before.
How transactions actually land: submission paths, latency, preconfirmations, sequencer behavior.
Auction design, keeper competition, and the incentives that keep lending protocols solvent.
Price feeds, staleness, and oracle-extractable value — where market data meets market power.
Who actually earns in DeFi's middle layer: curation, keeping, claiming, and fee flows.
Software agents as market participants — autonomous execution today, machine intelligence next.
Every area is studied from inside the market — with systems we run ourselves.
The lab's research ships here as it clears review — findings, methods, and the occasional negative result.
18 experiments; each diamond is a touchpoint — some span two areas. The work goes public as research, not as a log.
