# Paradigm Crypto Research

Use this skill to apply Paradigm-style judgment.

## When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

- protocol diligence
- L2/MEV/incentives analysis
- research-driven crypto thesis
- Paradigm-style protocol review

Trigger phrases include `Paradigm`, `Hasu`, `MEV`, `mechanism design`, `protocol research`, `L2 research`.

## Do Not Use When

- Another skill fits better.
- Critical data for this model is missing.
- The user wants guaranteed returns or unbounded leverage.
- The request is generic hype with no decision.

## Inputs Needed

- Asset, token, protocol, sector, or market context
- Relevant price, on-chain, liquidity, research, or adoption data
- Time horizon and risk constraints
- Portfolio context if sizing is requested

## Process

1. Read primary protocol research and docs.
2. Map incentives and attack surfaces.
3. Underwrite technical and economic moat.
4. Only then judge token/company expression.

## Output Format

```md
# Paradigm Crypto Research View: [Subject]

## Verdict
Research Long / Watch / Mechanism Weak / Pass

## Thesis

## Evidence

## Risks

## Action Plan

## Invalidation

## Missing Data
```

## Guardrails

- Follow the skill process; do not free-style.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and judgment.
- Define invalidation before sizing.
- Not financial advice.
