We bring transparency and smarter qualitative and quantitative analytics to the industry by combining a global research database with a comprehensive suite of data visualization and asset discovery tools.

The name “Messari” came from the Franciscan monks who declared "clean books" a moral imperative during the renaissance and pushed merchants to use proper accounting methods. This led to the flourishing of investment via "trust but verify" methods and industry growth throughout Europe. That's what we aim to do. Provide participants, investors, builders, platforms, and everyone else with reliable information to better participate in the crypto ecosystem.
Our users range from some of the most prominent analysts, investors, and crypto individuals to top organizations including Coinbase, BitGo, Anchorage, 0x, Chainanalysis, Ledger, Compound, MakerDAO, and many more.

- Data science experience. e.g. forecasting, A/B testing, simulation, predictive modeling.
Projects you could work on:
- Build an abstraction table for all concentrated liquidity protocols. Provide clean data sets to end users (research analysts), modeling data in a way that empowers them to answer their own questions.
- Analyze the behavior of liquidity behaviors on decentralized exchanges. Build prototypes of tools and simulations that allows people to observe changes in behavior given changes in parameters
