Our Vision

We want to create thought-leadership content and represent the Bankless brand in the best way possible. We strive to create the mechanisms for project managers, researchers and web3 professionals to be paid fairly, transparently, and based on decentralized governance.

What we do

We empower projects/protocols and their team to make informed decisions through high quality, insightful and actionable research.

Products & Services

Research Reports: Many projects & protocols in web3 are making incredibly important decisions on things like Governance, Compensation, and Onboarding and doing so based on intuition and what 'feels’ right. They often consume research provided by blockchain companies to make better and more confident decisions. This research sometimes barely scratches the surface of a project’s contributions in the space and contains outdated information. We believe that research that covers analysis with both original and secondary research, using qualitative & quantitative methodologies is the solutions to make smart decisions again.
