Cryptoeconomic systems, engineered.
An engineering firm for cryptoeconomic systems — mechanism and system design, working prototypes, teaching, and collaborative support for other projects. Not a classic consulting boutique.
What we do
Systems work first: declare the desired properties, design the mechanisms that enforce them, prototype in the open, and validate before scale.
-
Market design
Primary and secondary venues, claim structures, bonding and conservation mechanisms, multidimensional pools — from requirements to enforceable rules.
-
Mechanism & algorithm design
Incentive-compatible procedures: pricing, allocation, reputation, peer prediction, and revenue sharing that survive strategic behavior.
-
Specification
Translate business, legal, and economic intent into formal mathematical and state-space specs that engineers can implement and auditors can check.
-
Modeling & simulation
Analytical models and computational experiments (including cadCAD) to explore metrics, failure modes, and design alternatives before mainnet.
-
Parameter selection & optimization
Choose and stress-test the knobs that make a system operable — liquidity, fees, issuance, thresholds — under social choice and operational constraints.
-
Implementation & validation
Prototypes, educational deployments, and field experiments that make the design falsifiable — then iterate.
Selected engagements
A sample of past and ongoing work across DeFi, media protocols, and open market infrastructure.
-
Trade mechanisms, system metrics, and implementation architecture for a multidimensional liquidity venue — analytical work plus modeling and simulation.
-
Protocol design across IP production, reputation, and monetization — including truth-telling peer prediction for revenue sharing.
-
Live venues and field experiments for event-contingent claims — used in teaching, research, and open demos.
Research
Peer-reviewed and working results under the practice — AMMs, bonding structures, and mechanism design. Full research page.
-
Systematization of AMM-based DEX design: conservation functions, slippage, divergence loss, and security — from a multidimensional market-design engagement.
-
Game-theoretic treatment of deflationary burn-and-mint economies and conditions that avoid collapse.
-
Deposit-based defense analysis for block-withholding in Proof-of-Work mining pools.
-
Discrete-event games and bonding curves as estimators of private signals — mechanism design meets control and simulation.
-
Bonding curves as enforceable mechanisms and the configuration spaces they induce via conservation invariants.

Community
Meetups, teaching, and talks across the token engineering and Ethereum ecosystems.
-
Two proposed sessions for Cannes, April 2027 — a live mechanism design breakout, and a new collaborative session on AI-agent workflows in token engineering. Open for topic submissions now.
-
Ongoing meetup series — hosting, curation, and local TE community since 2018.
-
ETHCC, TE Academy, academic conferences, and European builder events (Zurich, Prague, Cluj, and others).
-
Teaching
University courses and open educational series on token engineering process, modeling, and DeFi / AMM design.
Open demos
Current public venues — one slice of ongoing work, not the whole practice. All demos.
-
Thin LMSR venue for event-contingent claims: wallet flows, collateral, roles, on-chain settlement.
-
Same LMSR economics with Yes/No claims as ERC-20s — portable, composable positions.
-
Secondary xy=k pools over outcome tokens. Swaps reassign ownership; they do not rewrite LMSR inventory.
About
Engineering firm for cryptoeconomic systems — own research and prototypes, plus collaborative mechanism and system design with other projects.
We build our own systems, teach and experiment in the open, and support other projects when the mechanism-design fit is clear — entrepreneurial and educational work first, not boutique consulting theater.
