  1. Project TL:DR

SUN ZU Lab is a leading data solutions provider, on a mission to bring better data to the global crypto ecosystem through independent quantitative analyses. We collect the most granular market data from major liquidity venues, analyze it, and deliver our solutions through real-time dashboards. SUN ZU Lab dashboards and insights will help bring more maturity and institutionalize the crypto markets, driving the next wave of mass adoption from banks and asset managers managing trillions of retail investors money.

  • Tooling

The dashboard, will allow the community to:
Follow the most accurate price action in real time;
Identify and monitor price anomalies between different exchanges;
Get alerted of large unusual transactions or periods of exceptional volatility;
Identify the venue with the best price for users who want to adjust the inventory of their token;
Get similar information for other tokens listed on the platform

  1. Project Overview

Crypto has shown a tremendous growth potential but is still lacking institutional standards that help protect basic token users’ rights. We believe that this is starting to change post defining events such as the Terra Luna ecosystem implosion or FTX’s bankruptcy, and that our tools can help bring a deeper understanding and monitoring of tokens’ market activity.

SUN ZU Lab dashboards and insights will help bring more maturity and institutionalize the crypto markets, driving the next wave of mass adoption from banks and asset managers managing trillions of retail investors money

We anticipate the “acquisition of DeFi data” stage to be the most challenging. We perceive DeFi data as having little to no synergies with CeFi data, and we’ll have to start from scratch for this vertical. We plan to tackle this pillar by recruiting an expert DeFi team (smart contract developers, data analysts, …) and partnering with leader companies in this domain.

Initial feedback has been amazing around how unique our dashboard is and how it actually provides deep and real time monitoring of crypto tokens’ market activity. Our product has only been live since the end of 2022 and we already have 4 paying clients, amounting to around $200k of ARR

  1. Value Proposition to Push Protocol

Using our dashboard, your ecosystem will be able to have a full 360 degree view of its token’s liquidity, and will be able to react in real-time to urgent market events that could be catastrophic if not well handled (deppeg, liquidity crunch, bid-ask spread spikes…). This in turn will increase the token’s market circulation quality and bring a new wave of both retail and institutional users.

The idea of the collaboration with your ecosystem would be to create a free, open-source dashboard for token holders, allowing them to track the tokens’ activity in real time on a single interface. We could also make it available through API & Flat files.

A second use case is for your foundation directly (and CFO if exist); foundations are often asked to buy/sell large quantities of tokens. SUN ZU Lab Dashboard enables them to have an aggregated view and real-time monitoring tool of the market and, therefore to better choose or execute but also to be alerted if there is a liquidity issue on a market X, for example.
