The document argues that coordination between the SEC and CFTC could reduce overlapping rules and uncertainty, particularly for products spanning securities, derivatives, and digital assets. It describes potential areas for harmonization, including aligned…
The document explains how federal agencies turn the GENIUS Act into binding rules for payment stablecoin issuance, reserves, and oversight. Under the Administrative Procedure Act, agencies may first seek early input through an advance notice, then publish a…
The paper proposes perpetual futures tied to an NFT collection’s floor price. NFT holders could lock collection assets as collateral, sell floor perps to raise liquidity, and retain any value their specific NFTs gain relative to the collection floor. Other…
Gradual Ownership Optimization (GOO) is an issuance mechanism for ecosystems where NFTs generate a fungible token. It aims to keep token and NFT ownership aligned by making each NFT’s emission rate depend on the square root of the tokens already held in its…
This security write-up describes how a researcher found a flaw in Etherscan’s Solidity contract verification process. The verifier treated bytecode regions resembling embedded metadata as variable, even when similar-looking bytes appeared inside executable…
The document presents Paradigm’s argument in an amicus brief concerning Maryland’s attempt to treat Kalshi’s federally regulated event contracts as gambling. It traces the case for federal oversight through the history of grain futures regulation, the…
This report describes how underbanked people interviewed by the authors use crypto for peer-to-peer payments, cross-border transfers, receiving client payments, and saving. Participants said they valued perceived control over their assets and described…
This paper proposes private prediction markets that let institutions pay for early signals about opportunities they can pursue, such as signing an artist or commercializing research. A sponsor supplies liquidity and alone sees prices during a temporary…
This document curates seven essays and investor letters that offer different ways to assess Bitcoin. The perspectives include a small long-term allocation based on asymmetric outcomes, Bitcoin as a possible store of value during monetary expansion,…
This founder-focused note draws lessons from earlier crypto booms and downturns. It describes recurring pressures: sharp emotional swings, intense public attention, failures among weak businesses, increased regulatory scrutiny, and infrastructure strain when…
The document summarizes Paradigm’s argument in amicus briefs concerning Nevada’s effort to apply state gambling laws to federally regulated swaps. It maintains that Congress established a nationwide derivatives framework through the Commodity Exchange Act…
The document outlines implementation priorities following passage of the GENIUS Act, which establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins. It describes issuer choices between state and federal supervision, including a threshold that generally moves…
The document examines insurance for protocols and decentralized organizations as a potential DeFi building block. It frames the market as serving three groups: users seeking protection, traders speculating on failure risk, and investors seeking yield. This…
The document presents the Reth team’s evolving view of Ethereum execution-layer priorities after Cancun. It favors staking-related changes and isolated EVM upgrades, particularly proposals for contract-controlled validator actions, deposit handling,…
The document argues that stablecoins can improve digital payments through public blockchain infrastructure, programmability, and composability. It proposes regulatory principles that address user and financial risks while preserving access, competition, and…
The document proposes replacing Ethereum’s MEV-Boost relays with direct, private communication between block builders and proposers. Its design uses silent threshold encryption with validators’ existing BLS keys: a builder encrypts a proposed block for a…
The document describes Solidus, a collaborative project to build a Solidity-to-EVM compiler in Lean, a language and proof assistant. Its backend translates Yul, Solidity’s intermediate representation, into EVM code, with a proof that compiled programs…
The document explains how to adapt the incremental reward accounting used for Uniswap v1 and v2 to Uniswap v3’s concentrated liquidity. In earlier versions, a staking contract tracks a cumulative reward-per-liquidity value as users enter or leave. Each…
The document surveys North Korean cyber operations that threaten cryptocurrency organizations, distinguishing activity associated with groups such as Lazarus, APT38, AppleJeus, and TraderTraitor from schemes involving North Korean IT workers. It describes…
The document explains why measuring a blockchain node with isolated request latency is insufficient: performance under load also depends on throughput, errors, workload size, and the RPC method being called. Different methods can stress different resources,…
The document summarizes Paradigm’s response to a CFTC request for comment on perpetual derivatives. It argues that a durable US framework should address decentralized perpetual markets as well as products certified by registered entities. The proposed next…
This guide explains how researchers can assemble granular data on fiat-backed stablecoin activity directly from Ethereum. It scopes the example to five USD-denominated tokens and focuses on mint, burn, and transfer events. Rather than run a full node, the…
The essay argues that DeFi lending should be assessed according to its users and market structure, rather than treated as a direct substitute for bank lending. It describes collateralization as a spectrum that trades capital efficiency against risk and…
The document summarizes Paradigm’s amicus brief in the SEC’s case against Terraform Labs and Do Kwon. It focuses on the SEC’s argument that UST could qualify as a security because it was exchangeable for other crypto assets the agency alleged were…
