Report spans 50+ pages
After a total of far beyond half a million impressions, 11 articles and 2 expert panels, our @a1research__ CLOB campaign is ending with a banger.
On 50+ pages and in collaboration with @GSR_io, we tie all the alpha together in one report covering:
- The evolution from AMMs to CLOBs and why it matters
- The infra revolution and why onchain CLOBs are possible now
- Breakdown of CLOB DEX appchain designs on L1 and L2
- Onchain CLOBs built on universally programmable L1s/L2s
- The overall CLOB DEX landscape and all infra enablers
- Challenges and Innovation frontiers (privacy, MEV, risk mgmt, etc.)
Due to the length of the overall report, we had to break it down into two parts here on X (first one quoted here, second part in comments below).
If you want to read the full report optimized for readability, pls navigate to the A1 Research blog post (also linked in comments).
Will be shipping a TL;DR later as well, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, don't miss out on the most comprehensive and complete resource on the CLOB wars that exists on CT.
