We're actively working to add detailed write-ups for each entry that describe its background, advantages, drawbacks, design considerations, and in-depth case-studies that show how the mechanism has been used in practice.\n\n# New Research\n\nThis library is just the beginning. We've already begun to introduce a range of tools and resources for navigating the vast landscape of mechanism design possibilities. Here is some recent progress on this front:\n- We released the [**Mechanism Impact Measurement**](https://observablehq.com/@mechanisminstitute/impact-measurement) tool, a forkable workbook to model ROI of mechanisms, including cost of capital & demand forecasting.\n- We released an early prototype of the [**Mechanism Design Canvas**](https://www.figma.com/file/oS1LLUNeyAHwbS9UQw8YRe/Mechanism-Design-Canvas-Template), a visual template for designing systems in a way that ensures shared understanding of goals and system architecture.\n- We released early designs for two **new cryptoeconomic primitives**:\n  - [Slashing Engine](https://github.com/Mechanism-Institute/slashing-engine) with Gitcoin to help incentivize sybil detection\n  - [Smart Treaties](https://www.figma.com/proto/Sg0srz4rVhMdxbGEmCD7PE/Smart-Treaties?type=design&node-id=235-97&t=mj6927VIsczIyAon-0&scaling=contain&page-id=1%3A8&starting-point-node-id=235%3A97&show-proto-sidebar=1) with Zuzalu to help networked communities scale\n- We have given eight **Mechanism Seminars** that provide practical strategies and tools for designing better mechanisms: [Paris](https://observablehq.com/@mechanisminstitute/5-research-directions-for-blockchain-mechanisms), [MetaGov](https://twitter.com/mechanism_inst/status/1694412042864845291), [dOrg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg6SZwSEwUY), [Berlin Ethereum Meetup](https://twitter.com/BerlinMeetup/status/1703486696195551269), [Metafest](https://youtu.be/oloMD4zvLTE?si=-QBQWLIf0RRsXZF9) [x2](https://youtu.be/zfXlR1km-2Y?si=OhenNh5EQJPaKcW1), Commons Hub Austria, [Bonding Curve Research Group](https://twitter.com/Bonding_Curves/status/1721906922335748524).", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Mechanism-Institute", "projectTwitter": "mechanism_inst"}, "recipient": "0x4cd6B4503d02973D78CFF59C9C56f5F378688274"}}
