Publish in academic conferences/journals
Peer-reviewed, publication-quality work.
Our department collaborates with companies and institutions in the domains of finance, cryptography, and distributed systems technology to publish research, build on-chain protocols, and improve existing systems.
Join R&DPeer-reviewed, publication-quality work.
Advancing the state of decentralized technology.
e.g. with results in corporate whitepapers.
Our R&D Department is organized into three specialized research wings
Our work in the Cryptography & Distributed Systems Research Wing maps directly to real-world constraints in security and performance. Our projects are selected for practical impact in today's systems, with publication-quality rigor—not only improving existing systems, but offering pen-and-paper mathematical bounds, proofs, and security guarantees for our contributions.
Collaboration teams: TNAS, zkSecurity
Our work in the Quantitative Decentralized Finance Research Wing applies quantitative finance and mechanism design to strengthen blue-chip onchain markets. We focus on improving protocol efficiency and robustness via mathematical analysis of liquidity dynamics, architectural contaminations, and risk management techniques under latency and capital constraints.
Collaboration teams: To be announced
Our work in the Governance Theory Research Wing is forward-looking and aims to offer advanced models and solutions to distributed decision-making and representative ratification systems. Figuring out how to accurately, efficiently, and securely vote on behalf of diverse opinions with AI smart-contract based delegation protocols is our priority.
Collaboration teams: IF Lab University of Oregon
We're looking for passionate researchers in cryptography, distributed systems, quantitative finance, and governance theory
