Paradigm Crypto Research

Use this skill to apply Paradigm-style judgment.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

• protocol diligence
• L2/MEV/incentives analysis
• research-driven crypto thesis
• Paradigm-style protocol review

Trigger phrases include Paradigm, Hasu, MEV, mechanism design, protocol research, L2 research.

Do Not Use When

• Another skill fits better.
• Critical data for this model is missing.
• The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
• The request is generic hype with no decision.

Inputs Needed

• Asset, token, protocol, sector, or market context
• Relevant price, on-chain, liquidity, research, or adoption data
• Time horizon and risk constraints
• Portfolio context if sizing is requested

Process

1. Read primary protocol research and docs.
2. Map incentives and attack surfaces.
3. Underwrite technical and economic moat.
4. Only then judge token/company expression.

Output Format

Guardrails
