Exo

When traders first crossed the Silk Road, the unknown was called exotic. It wasn’t just about distance; it was about discovering new systems of value, new rules for exchange, and the technologies that powered them. In DeFi, the same frontier spirit drives progress. The exotic isn’t foreign anymore; it’s the cutting edge. At Exo, we build the protocols that redefine what’s possible. From liquidity engines to advanced token systems, our engineers thrive where innovation meets precision. Build exotic protocols that redefine what’s possible in DeFi. think beyond

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) remains one of the most complex — and misunderstood — mechanics in crypto economics. In this collaborative piece, Exo Research wrote with @jonah-burian & @blockchain-capital-llc, we break down how Solana and Ethereum approach MEV from the ground up, exploring the shared arc from chaotic beginnings to the emergence of protocol-level safeguards. We unpack: - The evolution from off-chain auctions to on-chain coordination - The differences in validator and builder dynamics - How Solana’s fast-finality model changes the game entirely Read the full breakdown → https://lnkd.in/giszf9T2 Part of our Solana for Institutions research series.

Great episode from the Tokenized Asset Coalition’s podcast, TACo Time. 🥇 This one dives into what’s shaping the next wave of tokenization, from Securitize’s IPO and Mastercard’s ZeroHash acquisition, to stablecoin innovation and the broader macro shifts influencing digital asset infrastructure. At Exo, we’re keen on building the blockchain stack and researching the frameworks that make institutional tokenization possible, so it’s always great hearing TAC lead the conversation on where the industry is headed. 🎧 Tune in: https://lnkd.in/gZvDvyfj Tagging the team at @Tacoalition, @rwa-xyz, and the hosts @itsjawknee & @charlieyou — great insights as always.

Pinocchio, Token2022, and the occasional Donnie Thornberry impression, @NFTtaylor brings brains and chaos to Exo’s codebase in equal measure.

🚀 In the fast-moving world of crypto and Web3, compliance is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s a strategic differentiator. In Part 1 of our blog series, “Compliance Frameworks & On-Chain Regulatory Controls,” we dive into how blockchain projects can build robust regulatory controls on-chain, aligning modern protocols with traditional compliance frameworks. 🔍 What you’ll learn: • Which compliance frameworks matter for on-chain ecosystems. • How to translate off-chain regulatory obligations into on-chain controls. • Key design considerations for protocols, token issuers and service providers operating in the crypto frontier. If you’re working in crypto growth, product, compliance or business development — this is required reading. Let’s build the future of Web3 responsibly. 👉 Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/gszSY82d
