EigenDA V2’s Mainnet Launch: Unleashing a New Era of Scalability for Ethereum Alright, let’s talk about something that truly shifts the tectonic plates in the blockchain world. A few weeks ago, we saw a quiet […]

Abstract Data availability (DA) is a paramount and often underestimated challenge in the design and operation of blockchain systems. It guarantees that all transaction data, comprising both the raw inputs and the resulting state changes, […]

Decentralized AI Agents: Comprehensive Infrastructure, Multifaceted Challenges, and Profound Socio-Economic Implications Many thanks to our sponsor Panxora who helped us prepare this research report. Abstract The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) with decentralized ledger technologies, […]

Comprehensive Analysis of Ethereum Staking Regulation in the United States: An Expanded Perspective Many thanks to our sponsor Panxora who helped us prepare this research report. Abstract The profound paradigm shift of the Ethereum network […]

Abstract The profound transformation of the Ethereum network from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, commonly referred to as The Merge, has not only marked a pivotal moment in blockchain innovation but […]

Abstract Reputation systems are integral to fostering trust and accountability in digital ecosystems. The advent of decentralized technologies, particularly blockchain, has introduced innovative approaches to reputation management. This paper examines KGeN’s Proof of Gamer Engine […]

Abstract Centralization, an inherent antithesis to the foundational ethos of blockchain and decentralized systems, presents pervasive challenges to core tenets such as transparency, censorship resistance, security, and trustlessness. This comprehensive research report meticulously analyzes the […]

Abstract The blockchain trilemma posits that blockchain systems cannot simultaneously achieve optimal levels of security, decentralization, and scalability. This research delves into the inherent trade-offs among these three pillars, examining how various blockchain architectures and […]

Abstract Restaked Ethereum (ETH) represents a foundational advancement in blockchain security, capital efficiency, and the broader modular blockchain paradigm. By enabling the cryptographic reuse of staked ETH to provide cryptoeconomic security for a multitude of […]

Abstract Ethereum’s scalability challenges have led to the emergence of Layer-2 rollups, which aim to enhance transaction throughput and reduce costs. However, the proliferation of these rollups has resulted in a fragmented ecosystem, often referred […]
