Since launching Blockworks Research two years ago, we’ve become the leading provider of crypto intelligence, research, and data. As this happened, we learned valuable lessons about what it takes to build and scale a crypto company and protocol.

Protocols asked us to share these lessons with them. Since then, we’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best teams in the industry designing incentives, scaling governance, improving their analytics, giving guidance on treasury management, and more. 

Today, we’re thrilled to formalize these services with the launch of Blockworks Advisory – a comprehensive suite of services designed to hypercharge growth for crypto projects from inception to maturity.

One of our core beliefs at Blockworks is that every year, more and more value will move onchain. As this happens protocols will become the new institutions. They’ll be bigger than any software business. They’ll be bigger than any bank.

Blockworks Advisory is here to support these protocols as they scale from their infancy to an entire ecosystem with diverse stakeholders.

Blockworks Advisory stands apart with its depth-focused, authentic, and transparent approach. Our core offering includes:

  • Foundation Launch Partner: Creating a comprehensive solution to coordinate project Foundation launches through personalized service
  • Go-to-Market Strategy: Leveraging Blockworks’ extensive network to drive brand awareness and identify optimal distribution channels
  • Economic Design: Applying quantitative techniques to forge sustainable growth paths, from incentive design to risk parameter definition.
  • DAO Operations: Advising on structure, co-authoring proposals, and administering grant programs to allow projects to focus on product development.

Charting the Future of Crypto Projects

Blockworks Advisory doesn’t just study trends — it defines them:

  • Protocol Dashboards: Building custom data dashboards to showcase in-depth adoption metrics on dedicated landing pages
  • DAO Research Partner: Providing objective, data-driven analysis for informed community decision-making
  • Finance & Treasury Management: Outsourcing Foundation or DAO finance functions and offering treasury management guidance

What Drives Blockworks Advisory

Our beliefs are as profound as the minds that champion them:

  1. Depth over breadth: We deliver deep insights
  2. Authenticity rules: Our genuine understanding of crypto’s nuanced ecosystem sets us apart
  3. Transparency builds trust: We earn trust through clear, conflict-free analysis and data

Blockworks Advisory aims to redefine how crypto projects launch, grow, and thrive. By focusing on Foundations and communities, we enable projects to concentrate on core product development.

As David Rodriguez, our Head of Advisory says: “At Blockworks Advisory, we believe that every project deserves a tailored approach to navigate the complexities of the crypto landscape. Our mission is to empower teams with the insights and support they need to not just launch, but thrive in this dynamic environment. We’re here to ensure that your vision becomes a reality, enabling you to focus on innovation while we handle the intricacies of launching a decentralized protocol.”

Meta-aggregators like Titan and Kamino Swap improve price execution for users, making the Solana swapping landscape more competitive. Jupiter has incorporated meta-aggregation features into its latest routing engine to keep users on its front end (own the user, own the flow). At large, teams are treating swaps as a commoditized complement, offering incredibly cheap or free swaps to own the end-user and increase demand for high-margin product offerings (multi-product DeFi). On another note, the divergence in the concentration of aggregator volume between DEXs suggests increased specialization at the DEX layer by asset type.
