About
Almanak's research provides web3 builders with intelligence about… …Growth & Revenue Optimization01
We leverage data to advise on maximizing profitability, TVL, user growth or other defined growth metrics. Our recommendations allow builders to dynamically adjust their protocol parameters for success in any market conditions.
Suboptimal growth is oftentimes a result of poor modeling – parameters like max. LTV (loan to value) or trading fees ought to be dynamically optimized for maximum impact.
Almanak’s insights facilitate:
– Capital Efficiency – allowing to correctly optimize revenue-generating products as well as recognize unnecessary costs.
– Liquidity accumulation – optimal incentives design and value return for LPs to accrue optimal TVL (overspend/underspend) and grow organic volume.
– Gaming Ecosystems – optimisation of pricing & supply of in game assets in order to achieve sustainable growth.
– User Base Growth – optimisation of on-chain net revenue per user.
and more!
Almanak platform provides web3 builders with intelligence about… …Risk Management and Economical Security02
Secure your protocol & community against crisis economical scenarios & black swan events. We provide data-backed recommendations on how to mitigate risks and achieve economical resilience.
Robust risk management remains critical for sustainability. Protocols can protect their TVL, growth and progress by dynamically applying risk management practices.
Almanak’s insights enable builders to timely measure risks and understand how parameters interact with each other and to what degree they are safe in case of a crash event.
Almanak platform provides web3 builders with intelligence about… …Innovation Opportunities03
Almanak’s simulations allow to stress test and evaluate new features’ impact on protocol’s key metrics and economy, enabling builders to deploy optimally configured products from day one.
Deploying products & new features within decentralized and interconnected ecosystem provides a new set of challenges and risks.
Almanak provides builders with a crypto-native sandbox environment, allowing them to safely and efficiently stress-test all innovation.
Team
The next wave of crypto innovation will be driven by data. Our simulation technology allows builders to test their ideas and stay ahead of the competition.
Almanak is a collective of blockchain, artificial intelligence and data science professionals. We come from companies such as Google, EY, McKinsey, DBS Bank & Uber.
