Non-Interactive Proofs Cryptographically Secure Proof-of-Stake Long-Range Attacks
Non-interactive epiality proofs establish a bounded trust model, cryptographically securing Proof-of-Stake light clients against historical chain rewrites.
L1 Proposers Decentralize Rollup Sequencing Using Delegation and Preconfirmations
Based sequencing leverages the L1 validator set's economic security to credibly neutralize L2 sequencers, unlocking trust-minimized interoperability and high-performance preconfirmations.
Formalizing Proof of Stake Security against Rational Byzantine Adversaries
CoBRA introduces a strategyproof protocol transforming PoS to resist rational actors, overcoming impossibility results in hybrid Byzantine models.
On-Chain Randomness Enables Fair Transaction Inclusion without Miner Manipulation
Introducing rTFM, a mechanism using on-chain randomness to decouple miner incentives from fair transaction inclusion, unlocking equitable blockspace access.
KernelDAO Liquid Restaking Protocol Captures $1.34 Billion TVL and Stablecoin Collateral
Kelp's $1.34B TVL and USD1 stablecoin integration unlocks a new primitive for capital-efficient, risk-adjusted DeFi security provisioning.
Decentralizing ZK-Rollup Proving with Verifiable Stake-Weighted Auctions
A Verifiable Prover Auction leverages stake and randomness to decentralize ZK-Rollup proof generation, mitigating censorship and single-point-of-failure risks.
Threshold Cryptography Decentralizes Block Building and Eliminates Centralized MEV Extraction
The Threshold-Secret-Shared Block Construction mechanism uses distributed cryptography to transform centralized MEV extraction into a fair, cooperative process.
Commitment Proofs Decentralize Block Production and Ensure Transaction Inclusion
A Commitment-Inclusion Proof mechanism decouples transaction inclusion from ordering, eliminating builder censorship risk for a fairer block production architecture.
Mechanism Design Decentralizes ZK Proving, Ensuring Rollup Liveness and Economic Sustainability
A new transaction fee mechanism for ZK-Rollup prover markets is proposed, transforming centralized proof generation into a competitive, decentralized commodity.
