Mechanism Design
Engineering the rules of the market. We design auctions and matching systems that are efficient and manipulation-resistant.
The Challenge
Badly designed markets get exploited. Whether it's an ad exchange, a logistics auction, or a blockchain transaction market, if the incentives are wrong, value is lost. The goal is to create a system where honest participation is the most profitable strategy.
Our Methodology
We apply practical mechanism design to build robust market structures. We focus on preventing manipulation (like collusion or wash trading) and ensuring fair, efficient outcomes. We deliver specifications that are ready for implementation in any sector.
End-to-End Execution
Auction Design
Designing optimal auction formats for NFT drops, liquidations, and blockspace.
Matching Markets
Algorithms for two-sided markets (e.g., ride-sharing, job markets, dating).
Social Choice
Designing voting rules and governance systems that resist manipulation.
Fairness & Privacy
Ensuring mechanisms are fair and privacy-preserving (using ZK proofs where applicable).
Applications
-
Ad Auctions: Real-time bidding optimization and ad exchange design.
-
Logistics: Matching algorithms for supply chains and transport networks.
-
Blockspace Markets: Transaction ordering and fee mechanisms for L1s/L2s.
