Taiki is the founder of HFAResearch, a DeFi-focused research company founded in 2021 with a mission to create high-quality, digestible content that helps separate signal from noise for DeFi enthusiasts. We were frustrated with the lack of authentic educational content on Crypto KZfaq/Twitter and took matters into our own hands.

MY VALUES:
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
A lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue. Taiki has never run KZfaq ads on his channel because he believes in creating quality content, not monetizing your eyeballs via ads.
FOCUS ON THE LIQUID MARKETS
How can you trust a research company if they’re making “easy money” participating in VC/angel rounds and dumping on followers? Our firm focuses on the liquid markets, so we only participate in the liquid markets.
BE A GOOD PERSON
On top of not running any KZfaq ads, Taiki has never participated in a paid promotion, a channel sponsorship, or even a DEX/CEX ref-link. We believe that to create quality research on the public markets, we have to only focus on the public markets.
PREMIUM RESEARCH
HFAResearch offers a Premium subscription. This is not meant to be a "copy trading" service or a “pump and dump” signal group. Taiki publishes two premium videos and an AMA livestream every week. Think of Taiki as your personal research analyst that keeps you on top of the markets so you can focus on what you do best. You also gain access to a private discord with the largest premium DeFi community. There, Taiki also gives frequent updates as well as real-time analysis on current events in crypto.
We believe this is a better way to create a sustainable business instead of focusing on monetization tools that only focus on getting clicks. The premium videos follow a style similar to Taiki’s free public videos.
