We published a post, “Shutterized Beacon Chain,” for @Ethereum at the Ethereum Research Team forum. It proposes implementing a Shutter-like DKG in the #Ethereum 2.0/beacon chain, thus mitigating front-running and malicious #MEV directly at the execution layer. ethresear.ch/t/shutterized-…

Great work with my colleagues Mira Mezini, Guido Salvaneschi,David Richter, David Kretzler and Pascal Weisenburger! We present a new language for writing safe and gas efficient smart contracts for Ethereum. Looking forward to exciting extensions of Prisma!

Prisma is a multitier language for secure smart contracts. David presenting our work at ECOOP’24 Conference #Ethereum #multitierprogramming Mira Mezini Sebastian Faust

Perun comes to Cardano! In the F8: Cardano scaling solutions project catalyst, the community voted for our proposal! This doesn’t only empower Cardano to support state channels but also connects Cardano to our cross-chain framework to perform trustless swaps with Perun, soon!

Very happy about receiving an ERC CoG! Will be hiring for research in cryptography and blockchains.

We have multiple open positions for PhDs/Postdocs in DeFi/Crypto/GT together with Martin Hoefer. If you know suitable candidates, please share!
