this isn't meant to be polished research — just a place to track ideas i keep circling back to. things i don't fully understand yet, but want to.

risk and market structure

most of my work right now revolves around risk. i'm trying to get better at modeling it, and figuring out what assumptions are actually worth making. something i've been questioning is how do i get good at extracting hidden insights from analysed data? and someone suggested to read How to Lie with Statistics and avoiding confirmation bias.

amms and capital efficiency

amm's are one of my favourite things in defi, it's still unreal to me that we found an alternative to order books on a simple looking curve, i've been modelling how multiple tick ranges behave on uniswap v3, planning to post about this very soon!

fixed yield

this is an unusual one, it's what tradfi calls "zero coupon bonds" but ever since i've learned about it, i can't help but see it everywhere. the core idea goes bit like "someone is always willing to buy the volatility off of you".
