Papers, protocol specs, ideas, and notes from our work in progress.
NiceTry is our wallet infrastructure project, implementing a quantum-safe design for Ethereum wallets based on ephemeral key pairs and account abstraction. Instead of relying on a single long-lived signing key, the wallet rotates its signer after every transaction, discarding each key after a single use.
AI agents can't model what they can't observe. We introduce the assumption surface: a framework for measuring protocol opacity, and why minimizing it will determine which protocols capture agent-driven capital...
Most AI crypto projects add complexity without adding value. This research surveys the landscape and argues that effective AI agents require protocol-specific training, not generic prediction models.
Gas optimization is a key challenge in building complex DeFi systems. At Riva Labs, while contributing to Denaria, an onchain perpetual futures protocol, we cut trade execution costs by ~20% through code review, caching, storage layout, and low level tricks [...]
Riva Labs is a research-first company focused on crypto technology. We research what matters, then build on what we find.
