Jincubator Partnerships

How to Collaborate with Jincubator

Overview

Jincubator is a research incubator.

At of August 2025 the research is lead by John Whitton with collaboration from organizations such as Uniswap and Harmony. This work has been self funded with limited funds being received from Hackathon prizes.

If you are interested in collaborating with Jincubator, please reach out to team@jincubator.com or directly to john@johnwhitton.com

Goals

Jincubator goals are as follows

  • Continue to develop research and engineering skills by researching and building on the cutting edge products and protocols.
  • Contribute research, design and technical solutions to the Crypto industry
  • Productize research into DeFi protocols or infrastructure.

Collaborate

Here are some ways to Partner with Jincubator

Funding through Bounties or Grants

Rather than seeking angel funding or raising through a Token Generation Event. We have been building and iterating to ensure product fit and are now looking for funding via grants or bounties to continue this work. Preferred grants would come from technical providers such as Tycho and Uniswap, 1inch which we are building on. Solvers, Blockchains and Protocols looking to integrate with Tycho would be ideal partners.

We are currently building on Tycho and looking at continuing work on arbitrage, developing Solvers(Fillers) for CompactX, UniswapX, CowSwap and 1Inch.

The potential areas which we are looking to incorporate into a revenue positive platform include

No Liquidity Solving

An opinionated architecture, built on Tycho, for an intent based solving protocol which facilitates single and multichain solving of intents. Intents can be solved on a single chain without provisioning up front capital as we arbiters can confirm mandates have been met by solvers at execution time, thus solvers may use the Swapper's locked funds for execution. For a demo of this please see No Liquidity Solving (Tycho 1inch).

Solver

Building out Tycho based Solvers starting with the following protocols

  • CompactX: An expansive locking system from the-compact. We have incorporated Mandates and Solver Payloads to allow Intents to be solved on a single chain without provisioning up front capital as arbiters can confirm mandates have been met by solvers at execution time, thus solvers may use the swappers locked funds for execution. As of July 25th the the-compact we are developing on has been forked from Uniswap the-compact v1 branch which has not as yet been deployed.
  • UniswapX: John attended Uniswap's Hook Incubator course and has been in touch with Alumni as he build in this area. He plans to start work on a UniswapX Solver in August.
  • COWswap: John hasdone some original evaluation of COWswap Solving, building and running a COWSwap Solver locally built from the services repository.
  • 1Inch: John spent the week of July 28th working on the Expanding Limit Order track. With the goal and improving knowledge of 1inch limit order protocol. For a demo of this please see No Liquidity Solving (Tycho 1inch).

Arbitrage

John has begun development of an Arbitrage bot. It uses Tycho's indexing simulation and execution modules. It uses a variation of the Bellman Ford Algorithm to find revenue positive arbitrage cycles. It aligns with the foundational requirement for an atomic arbitrage solver as specified in Tycho Application Proposal 4 once this foundation is in place the infrastructure can be expanded into Cross Chain Arbitrage and Market Making. You can see the design proposal here.

Previous Grant applications

Consulting

Currently, John Whitton is interested in consulting in the following areas.

DEX Integrations

John is familiar with the key Tycho Repositories (Indexing, Simulation, Execution and the SDK) and am experienced in Protocol Design (Soldity) and Service Development(Rust). John also run consulting firms and managed teams of engineers. He would enjoy partnering with Protocols and Platforms which want to integrate with Tycho.

Chain Integrations and Rollup Providers

Similar to above John has done extensive research on Chains, consensus designs and building Rollouts. He would enjoy partnering with Tycho to help bring on additional chains. Also building out Proof of Concepts for Protocls thinking about launching their own chain with RollUp providers such as Caldera

Infrastructure Partnerships

John has lead teams building out Layer 1 platforms and DeFi protocols and worked as an Ecosystem Architect. He is also familiar with researching partner technologies. John did some initial work with EigenLayers dev-kit-cli and rust integration.
