Custom Solana Research Report
A one-off commissioned report on a defined question—client upgrades, staking policy, or application governance—with footnotes and a bibliography you can cite internally.
Typical commission topics
Recent reports have compared validator client adoption timelines, summarised SIMD proposals affecting rent economics, and mapped stake delegation policies for non-profit treasury holders. The format suits board papers, editorial backgrounders, and internal architecture reviews.
Method
We work from public repositories, governance forums, and interviews you arrange or approve. When data is ambiguous, we present competing interpretations rather than forcing a single narrative. Charts are reproduced only when the underlying dataset is publicly accessible.
Length and depth
Page count follows the question, not a template. A focused memo on a single SIMD may run eight pages; a comparative staking report with multiple interviews may reach twenty-five. We quote a fixed fee after scoping so there are no hourly surprises.
