Unleashing Ideas, Pushing Boundaries.

Research Through Experimentation.

Explore Our Research, Uncover New Possibilities.

From DIDs, crypto payment settlements, digital and decentralized publishing, and quadratic voting, to dev tooling, redefining digital ownership, supporting social causes, and educating the people eager to enter the new wild world of the Web3.

Still, we find ourselves at the beginning of this journey. Our ideas and approaches are evolving and maturing, so who knows what the future holds for us. One thing is certain — no matter if the market is green or red, we will keep on BUIDLing.

Hop on for the ride! Hop on for the ride!

What keeps moving our Research Sense(is)?

Motivated by the impossible and craving to bring the Web3 world peace, our team of senseis keeps searching for exotic pieces of science and technology ready to push into our labs. We are serious when claiming that we developed the 6th sense - a unique sense of research.

Pssst, a little research never killed nobody.
Thus, as we keep planning only the big ones, we are always open to finding our new partner in crime. If you are up for it, drop us a message.

Build, measure, learn: everything is just a grant experiment that loops

To have high-quality outcomes of our research processes, we focus on what matters - the assumption we want to validate. The result of every experiment can be a giant unknown if you are not clear on your expectations.

So we plan our learnings in detail and keep looping. Building a falsifiable hypothesis helps us keep moving forward in the desired direction and mix the right ingredients to blow the web3 problems away.

[ERFC - 524] Implementation of decentralized identity in user-centric Web3 product development

User-centric development proved to be imperative for any successful digital product. Decades of data marketing behind us showed how important is to track, collect insights and examine patterns in user behaviors. Those insights consider the must-have “know-how” of every successful product. According to the PWC digital product Study [1], data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are the new backbones of digital product development. However, unlocking new technology fields like the blockchain industry becomes a problematic question. User-centricity is the subject of many debates as well as the fact of how to achieve it. In a world that lies on high privacy and decentralization, data is strict and is kept to itself. Therefore one of the burning questions is how to find a way to use it and not misuse it and build more user-centered products.

[ERFC - 409] Minty - Massive off-chain minting with verifiable on-chain commitments

Utilizing Blockchain comes with big limitations when it comes to storing a larger number of documents on the chain. Another problem arises when a large number of documents must be stored on the chain with minimal delay - real-time. In those cases, the time and financial costs may become overwhelming. This research aims to find the solution for this issue by combining off-chain issuing techniques and on-chain commitments to maximize throughput while minimizing costs from the number of transactions required to store the commitments. The solution is formulated as a hybrid (on-chain/off-chain) protocol called Minty.

[ERFC - 375] Anonymity in MACI

MACI - Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure is a collection of smart contracts, ZK circuits and ts packages that we can use to build programs on top. We have already dealt with this topic, we summarized what has been done in MACI so far. More information about MACI can be found in our previous research (MACI [1]) and blog (Can MACI really destroy the collusion? [2]).
