Crypto Commonwealth: A Blockchain project en route to a world-leading publisher and asset manager

When there is a conversation about the biggest
publishers in the field of science the names nature and science are
always included. Let’s imagine that the ongoing blockchain revolution is
incubating a publishing house of such caliber. What type of ecosystem
would it bring forth and which groundbreaking technologies would it
integrate?

Crypto
Commonwealth is considered to be one of the most ambitious projects.
Their vision is to create a community that incentivizes effort and
quality of publications, with the ultimate goal to create a journal as
successful as Nature and Science. The project claims to have a strong
network of researchers in top universities and plans to invite more of
them to join, as well as funding their research in academia. They intend
to distribute 100% net profit back to the authors, editors, and
reviewers, paying for their contributions in their native token COMM.
Excellent contributions will make the ecosystem stronger, encouraging
and inviting more people to play a part within as everybody looks for
incentives.

Crypto Commonwealth focuses not only on becoming a top tier publisher
of all things,  crypto or not. It also envisions becoming a digital and
traditional asset manager that can potentially outperform BTC and the
stock market growth in the long term. Its strategy construction follows
the “trilemma in portfolio management”. Under this model, three
variables are considered: high return, low risk, and high capacity.
Those who have some experience investing in traditional or crypto
assets, either in IPOs, ICOs, IEOs or directly in the secondary markets
have learned, maybe the hard way, that it is not possible to embrace
these three vertices simultaneously. For COMM the presence of two of
these factors excludes the third as well. It is on this understanding
that high return and low risk exclude high capacities, such as in alphas
and high-frequency trading. Crypto Commonwealth itself encompasses
hedge funds including the alpha fund  “Sphinx” and the smart beta fund
“Stonybrook” under the high return and low-risk classification.
Conversely, you could have any of the two other configurations. At this
point, the triangle metaphor explains itself.

The merit of a project like COMM is that it merges into an innovative
ecosystem the wisdom of an elite publisher house with the profit-making
power of a hedge fund. Take for example “Stonybrook”, which is the very
first (if not the one and only) crypto smart beta and alpha fund to
endorse and publish high-quality crypto strategies and analyses on-site,
and make them transparent to investors and readers largely for free.
This allows investors to understand what they are trading with and take
good control of their asset allocation. Crypto Commonwealth will offer
detailed, professional suggestions to help them make the most informed
decisions in style selections upon investment. This profit will be
redistributed into the ecosystem in a decent cut – up to 50% of
management or incentive fee would be shared among excellent authors,
portfolio managers, researchers, and collaborators.

Contributors can opt to be external or internal researchers. Internal
or ‘book’ researchers are expected to run backtests on the platform and
submit alphas for centralized post-processing, including portfolio
combination and optimization, however, this is by no means limited
thereto. Upon proper evaluation, a certain amount of COMMs will be paid
out as a reward, with a significant amount to be followed pending the
alpha performance out-of-sample and in live trading. These, of course,
are what could be considered the right steps to build a strong and wise
community.

COMM’s professional column, ‘Beta for Pros’ is expected to cover
smart beta/alpha investigation, factor/risk premium analysis, ETF
construction, pair arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, exchange arbitrage,
high-frequency trading, risk management, automatic investment, market
making, and the applications of portfolio management techniques that
improve simple trading methods. They also have two more columns intended
for generic readers that serve as educational resources and crypto
knowledge base – ‘Beta for fun’ and ‘Crypto Insights’. They cover
quantitative and fun crypto analysis, tokenomics and philosophies, as
well as non-quantitative articles in the blockchain domain including
crypto overviews, insights, token mechanism/algorithm, macro visions,
blockchain techniques, etc.

The long term vision of this journal/fund is to acquire high-quality,
stable submissions and a good impact factor, then start charging
subscription and publishing fees as any other commercial journals. More
importantly, it plans to redistribute all profits after operational
costs back to the authors, editors, and reviewers. This is a closed
cycle that is expected to nourish and sustain the ecosystem as it starts
to gain momentum.

What is interesting is that Crypto Commonwealth has a strong
background in global stock markets, having amassed a good number of
lowly correlated equity strategies at their disposal. The project is
seeking to tokenize them as soon as circumstances permit. Those who have
been following the cryptocurrency market recognize that tokenization of
other financial markets, like commodities, futures, stocks, currencies,
bonds and real estate is promised to be even bigger in capitalization
than all the current cryptocurrencies. A real pioneer in strategy
tokenization, COMM will certainly build a supportive and productive
atmosphere for portfolio managers across multiple markets to participate
in its ecosystem.

In conclusion, Crypto Commonwealth is a promising project that
harbors the first publishing house and investment funds backed by a
community of contributors, investors, scholars, and researchers,
redistributing profits among its members. In this way, it represents a
breakthrough for the technological paradigm that our society is about to
experience.
