We're launching Moni Research. Research without skin in the game is commentary.

300+ research articles. 1700+ daily alpha reports. Thousands of project and ecosystem reviews.

For eight years Moni Team been doing research without ever calling it research. Someone on the team would find something like a project nobody was looking at yet, a farm, an airdrop actually worth doing and we'd write it up and send it out. Sometimes a thread, sometimes a long breakdown, sometimes just a "hey, look at this." Whatever the format, the idea was the same: get it to you while it still matters.

So it was never just "be early." It's anything that gives you an edge — rewards, an opportunity, a reason to make a trade.

Here's the part that matters though: we're not writing about this space from the outside. Moni builds tools people use every day: a discovery engine, a trading extension, a Telegram bot, a data API. The research comes out of that same work. We're already looking at this data and answering these questions for ourselves and our users. We just write some of it down. Research without skin in the game is commentary, and we've never been interested in commentary.

The work was always there. We just never put it in one place. So that's what we're doing now, and calling it what it is. Moni Research. We post when there's something worth saying, and not otherwise.

Honestly, part of why this is happening now: I was at EthCC in Cannes recently and spent it talking to people who do this seriously — OAK Research, Witcheer, and got long conversations in the past with folks from Delphi, Castle Labs, Hazeflow, Shoal Research, Alea Research. Watching how much they care about the work kind of lit a fire under me. We've been doing this for years, we're good at it, and we still hadn't put a name on it. These guys were a big part of the inspiration push to finally fix that.

And I keep coming back to a call I had with Anil, Delphi's founder, a couple years ago. He told me something I never forgot, that building a research product in crypto is noble work, but mostly thankless, and you have to actually love it to do it. He was right. And looking at the fact that we've been doing this for eight years anyway, with no name on it and no one making us — yeah. We clearly love it.

It's free for now. Same people who've been doing this the whole time.

Anyway, here's the site https://research.moni.ai/

We built it to be minimal and easy to read, nothing in the way of the actual research.
