Research Update: Agent-based Simulation of Execution Tickets (ETs)

We are excited to share our newest research on ETs 👽

We scoped the mechanism design space for ETs and ran an agent-based simulation to evaluate several mechanism design proposals 🎰

This is what we found out 🔽 (1/10)

Worst markets create the best rooms.

A week at @JoinFutura . Every room high signal. No noise, just people building.

The market is bearish. In those rooms it felt like exactly the right moment to be here.

Heads down. Ready for what comes next.

What a beautiful day at @JoinFutura. It was wonderful to see so many people again and to discuss Sovereign AI and Decentralized Tech. As always, the venue and the program were truly stunning. ✨ @BerBlockWeek

Classical music in an old plywood factory @JoinFutura. That is really the Berlin's vibes.

Congrats to the @JoinFutura organizers for creating such a zen space for the talks and enabling the kind of open conversations I rarely see at crypto conferences.
Feels like a strong start to the next wave of education and dev in the space. 👊🏼
