This survey analyzes various novel cross-chain interoperability protocols to provide a comprehensive framework for evaluating their performance and financial impact within the fragmented on-chain fina…
The paper proposes a novel nine-dimension risk assessment framework for institutional DeFi adoption, significantly enhancing existing methodologies by incorporating novel dimensions like composability…
The paper proposes a compliance-aware architecture for agentic payments on stablecoin rails that embeds regulatory checks directly into the on-chain execution flow to ensure safe, low-friction transfe…
The paper introduces the Lean-Agent Protocol, a formal verification platform that uses Lean 4 theorem proving to ensure agentic AI actions in finance are mathematically compliant with complex regulati…
The paper empirically analyzes the impact of cross-chain interoperability on DeFi lending protocols, finding that bridge volume significantly affects performance but that increased integrations can si…
This paper analyzes high-impact Web3 security incidents to show that most losses stem from off-chain organizational and operational failures, not just smart contract bugs.
The paper investigates whether tokenizing real-world assets actually improves liquidity, finding that liquidity is highly heterogeneous across asset types and is not reliably predicted by the outstand…
This paper analyzes the revenue drivers and interconnected risks of liquid restaking protocols, finding that while multi-blockchain expansion is key for adoption, the current bridge risk does not pose…
The paper introduces Bitcoin Smart Accounts (BSA), a novel, trust-minimized protocol enabling native Bitcoin to participate in DeFi while maintaining self-custody of funds.
The paper proposes a canonical, end-to-end validation framework to ensure secure integration of Alternative Data Availability (AltDA) systems with Ethereum Layer 2s, demonstrating that L2 integration…
The paper proves that standard account-based ledgers cannot non-custodially enforce asset disposition, and introduces a novel commitment-based ledger structure, the 'envelope,' that achieves this capa…
The paper introduces the concept of 'authenticity debt'—the institutional liability from deploying unverified AI content—and proposes a layered reference architecture combining cryptographic provenanc…

The paper provides a mechanized proof in Isabelle/HOL guaranteeing both the safety (state preservation) and liveness (progress) of regulatory state transitions across multiple, heterogeneous blockchai…
The paper introduces an explainable risk scoring framework that evaluates tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) based on liquidity, concentration, and market quality, demonstrating that total value locke…
This paper advances the lightweight blockchain verification protocol, FlyClient, by addressing technical challenges, introducing a new adversary model, and providing practical implementations and opti…
The paper introduces MolTrust, a production-deployed trust infrastructure built on W3C standards (VCs and DIDs) that provides a verifiable, multi-layered authorization framework for autonomous AI agen…
The paper introduces a novel guardrail orchestration layer that improves the compliance and efficiency of high-stakes multimodal document generation by scoring multiple generated candidates against we…
