Whetstone Research is a blockchain infrastructure company that designs and builds protocols aimed at accelerating the development of onchain markets. The team, comprising fewer than 15 people, brings deep hands-on experience from organisations such as Uniswap, Primitive, and Aztec. Its technical work centres on blockchain protocol design.
The company's product portfolio includes Doppler, a hyper-efficient price discovery and liquidity bootstrapping protocol built on the EVM, as well as an open-source SDK and Indexer that power integrations with platforms including Zora, Bankr, FxHash, and Paragraph. A third product, Pure Markets, is currently in development.
Whetstone Research operates at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure and decentralised finance, with a focus on building foundational tools for onchain market participants. The company maintains a small, specialised engineering team and contributes to the broader ecosystem through its open-source tooling.
