Light.CX
Innovative cryptocurrency derivatives.
Short-term, structured derivatives with a no margin and a fixed payout. Traded peer-to-peer on our exchange, and price is determined entirely by the open market.
Problems We Solve.
MONEY
Money is more than just a store of value, it is information. Money is always flowing, and those flows can be both engineered and analyzed. The transfer of risk, price discovery, different market dynamics, and time-value of money are some of the areas that we work with. Designing markets allows for enabling and guiding how counterparties interact, and what they can learn.
Engineering derivatives allows for unique products that enable both buying and selling risk. Portfolios allow for hedging or risk. We have experience with centralized, decentralized, and dark markets. Including the creation of new markets, trading existing markets, and the analysis of data from any market.
DATA
Our focus is on quantifying uncertainty. The heart, and inception, of any understanding, starts with data. We are “data greedy”, and love to swim in deep pools of data, looking for significance and keys to understanding phenomenon, solving business puzzles, and discovering new sources of value.
DECISIONS UNDER UNCERTAINTY
The world is stochastic. (Otherwise, a simple Excel formula would solve all business questions.). In order to operate in a complex environment, with complex relationships, large data, and shifting targets, we need tools and techniques to guide us. Most AI or statistical models carry an inherent level of uncertainty. Making optimal decisions within this uncertainty is complicated and subtle. We can guide clients to mathematically optimal decisions given the uncertainty of their domain.
TECHNOLOGY
We see technology as only part of our process, often a final implementation step of a larger solution. Once a problem is thoroughly understood, models have been built, and solutions have been planned, then we can build the appropriate technology. State-of-the-art tools and techniques enable us to build almost anything we envision. However, knowing what to build, and the subsequent use of this technology is where art meets science.
RISK
A common tenet is that there is no reward without risk. However, in business, we want to understand this risk. We specialize in building complex probabilistic models of world that better enable us to define and measure risk, customized to the client’s domain and unique perspective. Only then, can appropriate decisions be made around individual “taste for risk” and business goals.
