Research on market mechanisms, adversarial blockchain execution and practical uses of cryptography.
Why read Dan Robinson?
Robinson's Uniswap v3 essay helps you connect a liquidity position to the shape of a market maker. He explains how combinations of price ranges can approximate different trading curves. Start with the diagrams to understand the relationship, then move into the mathematics when you want to see how the construction works.
His coauthored Dark Forest account asks what changes when a transaction becomes visible to other participants before execution. Project Kryptos offers a more recent, different design problem: checking a secret answer without revealing it. Together these materials make him useful for readers interested in how market rules, adversarial behavior and cryptography shape a product.

Uniswap v3: The Universal AMM
How can price ranges reproduce different market-making curves? Start with the visual examples, then follow the mathematical explanation of how Uniswap v3 positions can approximate other two-asset designs.
Coauthored case study ·
Ethereum is a Dark Forest
What can happen to a publicly visible transaction? Robinson and Georgios Konstantopoulos describe a token-rescue attempt and the bots watching for profitable opportunities in the mempool.
Coauthored research project ·
Project Kryptos
How can a system verify a secret answer while keeping it secret? Robinson and Matt Huang explain a puzzle-verification project that connects one-way functions and protected keys to a concrete application.
