Research Analyst

Hazeflow is a research firm that specializes in protocol research and technical writing for blockchain protocols.

In 2024, we identified several problems faced by blockchain protocols:

• Many highly technical teams create great but complex solutions. Potential users, investors, or developers struggle to understand them.
• Many teams want to write a technical blog about their architectural choices, but they struggle to express their thoughts clearly on paper.
• Less technical or research-focused teams want to implement new technical or product features into their protocols but lack the expertise or an outside perspective.

We are already addressing these problems by establishing 3 core verticals:

1. We assist teams in making internal decisions about implementing new technological, product, or market-related features into their protocols.
2. We produce and ghostwrite technical articles for teams to showcase their architectural choices and product vision to high-profile individuals and protocol communities.
3. We create technical and product-focused articles reflecting our opinions on protocols, the industry, and broader topics in our research blog.

Our team’s deep and diverse expertise in Web3 infrastructure has earned the trust of leading projects, including EigenLayer, Sonic Labs, Mitosis, Sophon, Venus Protocol, and many others.

At this stage, we’re ready to expand and are looking to grow our team by a new specialist.
