Secure Random Number Generation in Decentralized Finance: A Pyth Entropy Analysis
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of Pyth Entropy as a secure random number generation solution for DeFi applications. We examine the cryptographic foundations, implementation challenges, and integration patterns with modern account abstraction systems.
Chain Signatures and Multi-Party Computation: Enabling Cross-Chain Account Abstraction
We present novel approaches to cross-chain account abstraction using NEAR Protocol's chain signatures technology. Our research demonstrates how MPC-based signature schemes can enable seamless cross-chain interactions.
WebAuthn Integration Patterns for Blockchain Custody Solutions
This study explores the integration of WebAuthn passkeys with blockchain custody systems, analyzing security trade-offs and implementation strategies for secure adoption of decentralized technologies.
Adoption Barriers in Decentralized Finance: A Quantitative Analysis
Through comprehensive user behavior analysis, we identify key barriers to DeFi adoption and propose evidence-based solutions for improving user experience and accessibility in decentralized financial systems.
Account Abstraction Security Models: A Comparative Framework
We propose a comprehensive security framework for evaluating account abstraction implementations, with specific focus on ERC-4337 and alternative approaches. Our analysis includes formal verification methods and attack vector assessments.
