Abstract—Research suggests that verifiable random functions (VRFs) are essential cryptographic primitives for blockchain consensus mechanisms. This study provides a comprehensive implementation and analysis of VRFs with additional data on various elliptic curves, including Bandersnatch, Ed25519, secp256k1, and BLS12-381. Results showed significant improvements in verification efficiency when utilizing curve-specific optimizations. Ring VRF constructions using KZG commitments were compared with traditional approaches, achieving sub-millisecond verification for rings up to 1024 members.

Abstract—This work explores various modular data availability protocols, analyzing their performance, security, and scalability in blockchain environments. We present a systematic comparison of leading data availability solutions including Celestia, EigenDA, Avail, and proprietary implementations. Our methodology encompasses theoretical analysis of erasure coding schemes, empirical measurement of sampling efficiency, and formal verification of security guarantees.

Abstract—In this paper, we explore scaling solutions for ring signatures to enable privacy-preserving authentication at scale. Our approach leverages Verkle tree structures combined with inner product arguments to achieve logarithmic proof sizes while maintaining unconditional anonymity guarantees. We present a novel construction that allows ring sizes exceeding 10^6 members with constant-time verification.

Abstract—This paper presents a comprehensive framework for designing solver networks in intent-based decentralized exchange protocols. We analyze the game-theoretic dynamics between solvers competing to fill user intents, proposing novel auction mechanisms that maximize execution quality while preventing collusion. Our model incorporates cross-domain MEV considerations, batch auction timing, and solver reputation systems.

Abstract—We propose a novel threshold encryption framework for mitigating Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) in blockchain transaction ordering. Our construction employs distributed key generation among validators combined with timelock puzzles to ensure transaction content remains encrypted until ordering is finalized. We analyze the economic incentives for validators under various collusion scenarios and prove that our scheme achieves MEV-resistance under honest majority assumptions.

Abstract—This paper develops a comprehensive game-theoretic model for optimal liquidity provision in concentrated liquidity AMMs such as Uniswap v3. We derive closed-form solutions for optimal tick range selection under various volatility regimes and fee tier structures. Our analysis reveals that rational LPs form a Nash equilibrium at predictable concentration levels, and we quantify the welfare implications of this strategic behavior.
