At Lobster, we have two major long-term objectives and spends:

- Tech: Continue to develop an ever simpler platform for our users, with more functionality and greater security. We also want to further develop our strategies and algorithms through research. Try out strategies based on artificial intelligence (which we are already working on), etc.
About research and development, we got 2 full time post for now. That will go up to 5 full time jobs very soon. We would like to engage a mathematician & researcher for concentrated liquidity market makers strategies on uniswap v3, as well as a smartcontract developper to go further with our own infrastructure on Arbitrum, and another full stack developper.
The goal in long term is really to manage all the liquidity of arbitrum blockchain in the best way, in order to provide the lowest slippage for all the swaps on agregators.

- Marketing: Have a bigger marketing strike force, get to know more crypto liquidity providers and asset managers. Carry out marketing and acquisition campaigns for the product, including for individual users. Continue and develop Lobster's branding and image. Launch more partnerships, whether with KOLs or cross-marketing platforms.
About marketing, we have a TGE at the end of the year, product will scale around this moment, and in 2025. We also need marketing budget in order to attract new users and more TVL on Lobster (and Arbitrum). This will cost us more than 30k$ a month after october this year.


Here are the next spends in term of R&D :
1. Personnalized dashboard
Objective : User full and personnalized dashboard through Lobster, to manage a neutral market strategy on uniswap v3 concentrated liquidity market maker.
Requested payment : 20k$

2. Multi range strategy on uniswap v3
Create new strategies, combining multi range concentrated liquidity on a liquidity pool of uniswap v3. Staying neutral on a single token exposure. We already have request to create thoes strategies on USDC, ETH and WBTC token on the Arbitrum blockchain. As we will be also be partner with Ramses protocol, we will also manage their liquidity on thoes strategies. We will for that growth our backtest software and test all strategies and optimize all the parameters befors launching it.
Requested payment : 60k$

3. AI strategies for market making on arbitrum
As we are working on predictive mathematical models already, we also want to work on AI strategies to optimise arbitrum liquidity in uniswap v3. For that we are engaging an AI researcher. We will also work on multi pool strategies in order to have a neutral market exposure using more than 2 liquidity pools at the same time in order to use a lending protocol has we do now with AAVE.
Requested payment : 90k$

4. Developing infrastructure on Arbitrum, out of Dhedge
Develop smartcontract in order to manage directly the Uniswap v3 liquidity without another conterparty risk such a Dhedge. We will also need audits for that part
Requested payment : 100k$ + 150k audits

This is our roadmap for now, but we can pick up only certain development that fit the most to arbitrum grants.
