Dan Robinson
Paradigm General Partner and researcher
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.
