A Uniswap v3 LP position in range [Pa, Pb] is mathematically a short strangle — short put at Pa, short call at Pb. Derive the equivalence, compute the Black-Scholes fair premium, and compare it to actual fee income at current ETH vol.
Bond-and-slash verifiable AI assumes someone audits. But checking costs money and pays nothing, so a rational verifier won't — the verifier's dilemma. Proof of Sampling fixes it with a bounty, and the math says honest inference holds at a 0.74% sampling rate where nobody ever arbitrates.
Olas turned an off-chain AI task into an on-chain contract: 2.1M requests across 100 mechs, a 60-300s priority window, and a Karma ledger that docks no-shows. We read the marketplace off Gnosis and dissect its crypto-economic SLA.
DataDAOs promise to pay you for your data — but 'pay you fairly' hides a cooperative-game problem that's O(2ⁿ). Inside Data Shapley, the KNN trick that makes it tractable, why rankings flip under SGD noise, and what Vana's Proof of Contribution actually computes instead.
