The paper proposes a trustless framework using dual-layer cryptographic commitments to solve the operator-gating problem in blockchain provenance trees, ensuring verifiable user attribution even when…
The paper designs an optimal mechanism for soliciting expensive computational tasks in adversarial blockchain environments, showing that the loss of optimality scales logarithmically with the cost of…
This empirical study of Pearl's cuPOW protocol demonstrates that the network's Proof-of-Useful-Work mechanism generates zero useful AI computation, instead causing economic harm and displacing legitim…
Intercloud proposes a decentralized economic network that achieves eventual consistency and security using a novel 'chilling-effect consensus' mechanism, eliminating the need for global coordination.
This paper advances the lightweight blockchain verification protocol, FlyClient, by addressing technical challenges, introducing a new adversary model, and providing practical implementations and opti…

ZK-Value introduces a practical, scalable zero-knowledge system for calculating data valuations (Shapley values) in data marketplaces, significantly reducing proving time while maintaining high accura…
This paper analyzes the conditions under which Bitcoin's security might fail due to miners deviating from honest mining when block rewards decline to zero, concluding that protocol mechanisms can miti…

GasLiteAA proposes optimizing the ERC-4337 standard by offloading gas sponsorship logic to Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), significantly reducing on-chain gas costs while maintaining security an…
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 introduces the quotient semivalue mechanism to provide fair data attribution that is resistant to contributors manipulating their reported identities by splitting or duplicating data.
MEV-ACE introduces a fair ordering protocol that mitigates proposer-controlled MEV by combining authenticated economic identities, auditable commit/open messages, and verifiable delay randomness to en…
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 proposes a hash-based commit-reveal alternative to minimize the infrastructural overhead associated with adopting large post-quantum signature schemes in blockchain transactions.
The paper proposes a federated formal verification architecture that treats verification as a polyglot proof system, successfully validating it on complex production subsystems like a Raft consensus m…
The paper introduces SuperPaymaster, an Asset-Oriented Abstraction (AOA) paymaster that eliminates the need for a centralized off-chain signer, thereby improving the decentralization and efficiency of…
The paper proposes a trust-boundary architecture using Lean 4 to verify the deterministic structured computations surrounding LLM pipelines, providing verifiable certificates for high-stakes deploymen…
The paper proposes a novel structural invariant approach, derived from the economic constraints of fraud, that amplifies weak, low-precision signals into highly accurate fraud detections without requi…
The paper proves that platform-deterministic inference is a necessary and sufficient condition for trustworthy AI, establishing that AI trust fundamentally relies on consistent arithmetic.
The paper analyzes transaction selection strategies in DAG-based distributed ledgers using game theory, finding that Collaborative Fee Sharing (CFS) achieves superior performance compared to Random Fe…
AetherWeave is a novel, stake-backed peer-discovery protocol that achieves Sybil resistance and privacy in P2P networks, ensuring robust connectivity even against powerful adversaries.
