While regulatory uncertainty once favored anonymous, short-term projects over sustainable builders, we're entering a new era. Our vision is to bridge this gap with the Doppler Protocol, creating an environment ...

It’s been a busy few weeks at Whetstone Research, grinding on the final code to finalize Doppler - a liquidity bootstrapping Protocol built for the Uniswap ecosystem that does two critical things:Rapidly create new high-quality liquidity applications - on top of the permissionless, credibly-neutral, self-executing, and autonomous base layer of Doppler. These tools are going to power the future of onchain markets, and they must be built on a durable base.Let projects outsource the difficult pa...

Doppler is the first product by Whetstone Research, a firm building frameworks, products, and infrastructure for an Internet where all users can build, create, and trade any type of value. Think Vercel for onchain infrastructure. What is Doppler?Doppler is a protocol designed for price discovery and liquidity generation for any asset. Say you’ve had a great idea for a token project, you’ve put together the team you need, but now you need to set a price and generate enough liquidity to enable ...
