Mechanism design, prediction markets, and decentralized market infrastructure.
Alan Wu works on mechanism design in crypto, focusing on prediction markets, decentralized trading, and market structure.
He is a protocol engineer at Uniswap Labs, where his work centers on market design and decentralized infrastructure. He writes about how markets can be used beyond trading, as mechanisms for surfacing information and aligning incentives around real-world outcomes.
His recent writing explores how prediction markets function as public signals, hedging tools, and systems that make useful information easier to produce and act on.
Prediction Markets Grow By Serving The World argues that prediction market growth will come from becoming broadly useful — as public signals, hedging tools, and accountability mechanisms.
