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
- Read primary protocol research and docs.
- Map incentives and attack surfaces.
- Underwrite technical and economic moat.
- Only then judge token/company expression.
Output Format

Guardrails
