Bonding curves are an interesting new tool in the Web3 space, which can provide various automated dealer functions that tie two or more elements of a system together through mathematical relationships encoded into smart contracts. Also called automated market makers (AMMs), there are different types of bonding curves, including but not limited to constant product, constant function, concentrated liquidity, variable product, time-weighted, and even order book-based bonding curves. Bonding curves have also been ‘augmented’ with the addition of common pool treasuries or even prediction markets, in order to improve the collective signaling capacity of these new tools for social and ecosystemic benefit.

Our mission is to drive forward the research, development, education, and application of Bonding Curves in their various forms.

What Success Looks Like:

Social media content posts, digestible and thought provoking

Posts have community traction, bringing in new leads and interest into the TEC

Improved methodology for analyzing Bonding Curves on-chain data

Explore new bonding curve mechanisms and shed light to the creators of the provisions to include in their bonding curve : Shutdown & Liquidation Procedures, Develop gamified UX visualizations of the Bonding Curve where members can play with the parameter to see the final impact.

Other unanticipated positive externalities discovered through research

We would like to use our research to ultimately develop a Product & Services Business Model around Bonding Curves and are also going to experiment with launching our own investable workstream and bonding curve with Inverter Network.
