    I've been working on prediction markets for events whose outcomes aren't just "yes" or "no." Instead of betting on just one outcome, traders in Distribution Markets can express how likely they think each different possibility is across the whole infinite range of outcomes. 1/

    Prediction markets let you bet on outcomes, but so much more is possible. This paper introduces Multiverse Finance, which splits the financial system into parallel universes so you can short the market today, but only if your candidate is going to lose the next election. 1/

    I've been working on a new NFT derivative: the floor perpetual. Floor perps are synthetic NFTs that track the floor price of a given project and can be minted by locking up NFTs from that project. paradigm.xyz/2021/08/floor-…

    The future holds a million stablecoins. Today's infra isn't ready. Introducing Orbital, an automated market maker for pools of 2, 3, or 10,000 stablecoins. Orbital unlocks capital efficiency by bringing concentrated liquidity to higher dimensions. w/ @danrobinson @ciamac 1/8

    i've been working on a new financial product: everlasting options perps give traders never-ending futures exposure without the effort, risk, or cost of rolling now, we can do the same for options... and @SBF_Alameda and I have a simple pricing model paradigm.xyz/2021/05/everla…

    thought i'd try something new and do some of my sense-making around o3 in public to start, it's been quite a shock. every conversation i had yesterday revolved around it. it affected my sleep. probably some anomalies in oura data for certain SF neighborhoods last night. 1/

    Art Gobblers is a decentralized art factory owned by aliens. As artists make cool art, Gobblers gains cultural relevance, making collectors want the art more, incentivizing artists to make cooler art. It's also an on-chain game. w @FrankieIsLost @transmissions11 @JustinRoiland

    When NFT projects have a fungible token, the communities holding the NFT and the token often diverge over time. @FrankieIsLost, @transmissions11 and I built a mechanism for @artgobblers to disincentivize this divergence and fix it when it happens anyway. paradigm.xyz/2022/09/goo

    I've been working on a new type of automated market maker with @danrobinson and @haydenzadams. The Time-Weighted Average Market Maker, or TWAMM (pronounced "tee-wham"), helps traders on Ethereum efficiently execute large orders. paradigm.xyz/2021/07/twamm/

    I've been working on a new NFT primitive with @andy8052 and @danrobinson: RICKS (Recurrently Issued Collectively Kept Shards). When you fractionalize an NFT into RICKS, the protocol mints and sells new RICKS every day. All proceeds go to RICKS stakers. paradigm.xyz/2021/10/ricks/

    You spot an unsigned band destined to break out. Instead of cold-calling labels, what if you could bet on them yourself? Introducing opportunity markets: private prediction markets where those who find opportunities get paid by those who act on them. w/ @no__________end 1/
