Omni Research Symposium (Rules)
Participants are tasked with writing a ~2,000 word research report on one of four technical subtopics related to chain abstraction.
Categories
Research must focus on one of the four following areas:
1
Value Accrual in a Chain-Abstracted World
2
Cross-Chain MEV
3
Solver Rebalancing
4
Universal Accounts
Grading
Reports will be graded by representatives from Omni and Pantera Capital. High-quality reports will cover the topics in novel ways rather than just explaining what they are. Reports will be graded on:
Novelty
Novelty of the report's approach and insight
Data
Incorporation of real data in the analysis
Accuracy
Accuracy of technical explanations
Writing
Style and quality of the report's writing
Reports should be data-driven, involve practical analysis, and can include visualizations to help illustrate concepts discussed.
Partners
