As a moderate crypto researcher, I'm investigating how decentralized systems scale, and are able to create actual utility. I study things like tokenomics, DeFi mechanics, on-chain analytics across EVM ecosystems, and the development of new L2s. I also keep an eye on ZK innovations, MEV, and security best practices, the design of governance models, and how to convert complex technical trends into actionable takeaways for builders and investors. My research agenda covers crypto from the perspective of systems thinking, specifically how incentives, cryptography, and market dynamics instantiate real outcomes on-chain. Currently, I'm looking into topics like L2 economics, ZK proving systems, restaking, and stablecoin design.
