Update For My Subscriber(s)
Contents from this post may later evolve into the new "What Moondance Is and Is Not"
Moondance Research didn’t take off as hoped in the first couple of months of publishing, therefore I’m pausing to temporarily focus on setup of one other business initiative.
When Moondance activities resume, hopefully soon, I will be rebooting it under a new model. The writing will be much less about general DeFi risk analysis and education and much more about hands-on experimentation with DeFi operations on Solana for fun and profit.
The new model, explained roughly:
Use AI to identify a new or novel way to use Solana DeFi to achieve a meaningful short term profit. The idea is to build predictable, repeatable on-chain investment processes that involve $100 going in → >$105 coming back out in < 1 month. This was the original concept behind the Moondance business idea, and I have regretted letting myself be talked out of having that core frame as the primary driver of the business.
Publish a free post on the currently under-investigation investment mechanism. Explain in detail how and why it might work. Explain the setup of how the experiment will be executed.
Execute the experiment exactly as described and see how it goes. This will involve investing small amounts of Moondance’s own business budget in these experiments. They may sometimes end up running longer than 1 month, while sometimes (if they succeed early), I may take profits off the table sooner.
Publish a paid post describing the outcome of each experiment in detail. Deep dive into the mechanics, choices, on-chain and off-chain variables that resulted in the success or failure of the experiment. Give the strategy an official thumbs-up/down with rationale. Give notes on what I would change in the future if I were to repeat the experiment.
Rinse and Repeat. Frequently. Gain an audience. Sell subscriptions.
So, stand by for more good times, and thank you for your loyalty and patience.
