ObeliskCore
Pioneering the frontier of on-chain alpha through cutting-edge MEV research, education, and automated trading infrastructure
To democratize access to institutional-grade MEV intelligence, enabling degen traders, protocols, and DAOs to optimize their on-chain strategies through advanced quantitative research, comprehensive education, and battle-tested automation tools.
We believe sophisticated MEV strategies shouldn't be a hedge fund oligopoly. By providing open-source research, educational resources, and permissionless tools, we're leveling the playing field for the entire on-chain trading ecosystem - from sandwich attackers to sophisticated yield farmers.🔮
To become the native intelligence layer for MEV across Ethereum, L2s, and emerging chains - empowering the next generation of on-chain quant professionals with institutional-grade tools, comprehensive knowledge, and battle-tested strategies.
We envision a future where MEV is measured, optimized, and democratized across all chains, contributing to more efficient, fair, and transparent DeFi ecosystems worldwide. 🌟
Processing over $4.2B in MEV research volume, serving 500+ protocols and MEV searchers globally, and publishing 78+ peer-reviewed research papers that advance on-chain alpha discovery.
Our work directly contributes to more efficient blockspace utilization, better risk management across liquidity pools, and increased transparency in automated trading markets.
From Rekt To Collecting Checks
Founded by a collective of on-chain quants who recognized the growing need for systematic MEV analysis. Our founder came from top-tier quant funds and research institutions, bringing deep expertise in algorithmic trading, smart contract development, and Ethereum internals.
Published our first 20 research papers, establishing our reputation for rigorous on-chain analysis. Our work on cross-chain arbitrage and liquidation cascade modeling gained recognition from major DeFi protocols, MEV searchers, and protocol developers across the ecosystem.
Launched our comprehensive education platform and professional automation suite. We began serving the community with custom MEV strategies, real-time mempool analysis, and data feeds, processing over $280M in weekly on-chain transaction analysis.
Expanded to serve 500+ MEV searchers across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and emerging L2s, launched our professional Academy program, and reached $4.2B in total MEV research volume. Our research now influences protocol design and governance across DeFi.
Today, ObeliskCore is recognized as the leading MEV intelligence protocol. We continue pushing the boundaries of on-chain research while making institutional-grade tools accessible to builders, searchers, and protocols at all levels.
