What if we could nudge markets to behave ideally according to economic theory?
We have a domain agnostic patent pending system that draws on techniques from operations research to make near optimal matches among transacting actors. We can optimize for various objectives at the individual and system level given constraints, learned/explicit preferences, and other factors.
Hyper-efficient defi
We are building a flexible and optimal decentralized cryptocurrency exchange powered by MarketX's core ideas and algorithms.
This would make intentionally optimized trading matches coupled with Nasdaq like execution rebates that maximize both the health of the system and trader utility. These would be determined from user preferences expressed as buy or sell trading strategies along with various system parameters.
Optimal job matching
The job market is hindered by new economic, social, and regulatory realities. We are building a system that combines AI, traditional mathematical optimization techniques, and the power of Blockchain to create efficient and optimal matching of job seekers and employers.
