We are a group of Based Agent Modellers. You will only find very basic info here. Contact us for questions and details!
We sometimes report our research ramblings in our blog.
20[ ] - also typeset and read 20squares - is a collective specializing in operations research in the crypto space.
We employ a specific tool called Compositional Game Theory, which we
defined
and
implemented
ourselves. We specialize in:
Mechanism Design: Designing protocols so that rational agents are incentivized to act in some desired way.
Example: Design an auction mechanism so that bidding truthfully is the best bidding strategy.
Mechanism Auditing: Verifying that rational agents are incentivized to use a mechanism as its designers intended.
Example: Are there cases where a validator in a staking protocol is incentivized to equivocate?Financial Modelling & Simulation: Finding the economic bounds within which a mechanism, protocol or contract operates as intended.
Example: In which market conditions actors lose interest in defending some currency's peg?
Optimization Problems: Finding the optimal sets of parameters within which a goal can be achieved.
Example: Fine-tuning an energy market so that users are incentivized to install solar panels.
All stuff concerning MEV: We are actively working on gas auctions, PBS and Intent solving from multiple angles.
Example: Design auctions and markets for blockspace futures.
We may be open to some collaborative/consulting work, provided that the problem you have is interesting enough.
