CIPHER Solana Quant Playbook - Premium chapters via x402

Pay-per-fetch Solana quant research, priced for AI agents.

Each premium chapter is gated by the x402 protocol. Your AI agent (Claude, GPT, Perplexity, and any x402-aware crawler) sees an HTTP 402, auto-pays $0.25 USDC on Base, and refetches - no login, no subscription.

Preview (from the MEV chapter)

"On Raydium CLMM pools with <$50k one-sided depth, a naive 0.5% slippage cap bleeds 38-62 bps to sandwich bots per fill. The fix is not tighter slippage - that just triggers failed txs. It is an oracle-gate: compare your pre-trade quote to a 5s-median Pyth price, and reject any fill whose implied execution drifts more than dynamic_bps(pool_depth, vol_1m). This chapter derives the closed-form for dynamic_bps and shows a live $1k test where it cut MEV loss from 2.1% to 0.34% per round-trip."
