Introducing: Kairos Research

Authentic, high-signal crypto research that gives you an edge.

Kairos is about the opportune time for decisions. Without proper information to act on, the opportunity passes by unknowingly. With rapidly evolving technology and fast moving markets, there is an abundance of noise, but a lack of signal. Our goal at Kairos Research is to cut through the noise to help you make informed decisions and seize the moment. We’re crafting our own distinct legacy, producing authentic and timely research at the intersection of crypto protocol mechanics and market structure, through definitive opinions. 

We have spent the past several years not only deeply researching, but using a plethora of different blockchains and protocols. We honed our skills at Binance’s US arm where we worked as research analysts and protocol specialists on the growth and listings team. We covered Layer-1 blockchains and DeFi protocols, which allowed us to dive deep into the core technologies and incentive structures which underpin our industry. We believe we have a deep understanding of the tech, proper protocol design, token-economic models, and how the market operates, all the while remaining curious enough to always keep learning. The combination of all these lead to proper decision making, Kairos. 

There is a lot of power in saying exactly what you’re going to do, and then doing it. Our mission is clear, we aim to be the voice of signal in the market; deciphering truth in a sea of falsehood, and cutting through the noise to deliver actionable insights in an authentic way. Additionally, we believe that information is only as valuable as the ears that hear it or the eyes that read it. We believe in the power of collective thinking, we believe that opening our content to the masses will lead to a better, more informed market. This axiom is no different than the importance of code being open source, we are bullish collective humanism and we encourage thoughtful feedback and criticism of our research. 

Our research focuses on three core topics:

• Technological Innovations and Protocol Development:

  • While there is plenty of innovation and experimentation taking place every day in our industry, we focus on the breakthrough developments that truly move the needle. These are the projects that make step-function improvements on crypto-economic principles, performance and scalability.
    

• Tokenomics & Governance Models

  • We believe the role tokens play in the networks or protocols they govern are crucial elements which are often overlooked. We dive deep on the importance tokens hold, through sustainable incentives, utility, distribution, and governance. We distill the essence of tokenomics, emphasizing how these digital assets do more than transact value; they are crucial for sustaining and guiding robust decentralized networks.
    

• Market Dynamics and Investor Behavior:

  • Navigating the complexities of the crypto market demands a keen understanding of market dynamics and investor behavior. We scrutinize trading patterns, liquidity shifts, and how long-term trends impact cryptocurrencies to offer insights beyond the apparent. Our analysis reveals the underlying forces shaping market trends and investor decisions, providing clarity in a volatile landscape. We aim to equip our audience with the knowledge to make informed strategic choices, emphasizing the critical interplay between market indicators and investor psychology.
    

We aim for our research to be useful for a wide audience, from the crypto-curious connoisseur, to the well-educated wall street folks who got bit by the crypto bug, and everyone in between. Our hope is to educate and inform our readers on the subjects that matter most, and go deep on topics that will have important second and third order implications as they manifest themselves.

Long Term Vision:

Today, we’re just a research shop, but in the future we will add Kairos Capital. Kairos Capital will focus on thesis driven investments across the short and long term, investing in teams and founders with bold ideas that we believe will change the ecosystem for the better. Additionally, Kairos Research will serve as an advisory and consultation entity which will work hands-on with protocols to ensure sustainable development through proper execution strategies. We want to support the industry through meaningful research, direct market participation, and strategic advisory. 

For today, the most important thing from our side is delivering unbiased, authentic, and actionable insights through our research. We are long term players playing a long term game. We believe crypto will fundamentally reshape the way society thinks about value, economics, and broader systems at large. We are bootstrapped, which allows us to keep an unbiased and authentic approach in our research methodology. We are focused simply on doing what we can do best - we don’t view any other firms, entities, etc as competition, because we are not aiming to compete, we are aiming to just be ourselves. That being said, we will recognize those who are trying to better the ecosystem at large, and we look forward to collaborating alongside others that align with our vision.

We’re excited to embark on this multi-year journey alongside our audience as we navigate the challenges of today, and help shape the future for a more informed tomorrow. Join us today and subscribe to our Substack and follow us on twitter to get the insight you deserve.
