Navigating decentralized finance

Positioned at the forefront of the DeFi landscape, our research team engages in partnerships with DeFi protocols, venture capitalists, and hedge funds. Our comprehensive experience in tokenomics, protocol analysis, technical due diligence, and risk management equips us to contribute significantly to the development of tools and strategies. These tools enhance the decision-making capabilities of traders and investors in the rapidly evolving DeFi space.

The impending introduction of Actively Validated Services (AVS) on platforms like EigenLayer brings new complexities, including a variety of protocols such as oracles, bridges and data availability (DA) layers. The assessment of risks and rewards associated with each AVS presents a challenge, necessitating ongoing monitoring.

Drawing on our extensive blockchain development background, our DeFi research team - comprising former TradFi analysts - specializes in technical due diligence for institutional clients. Equipped with advanced skills in quantitative modeling and protocol risk management, we have developed a thorough framework for AVS risk analysis. This framework spans from initial technical evaluations to ongoing risk monitoring, helping investors to optimize their risk-adjusted returns.
