Otter: A Provably MEV-Resilient Automated Market Maker via Surplus Redistribution
Elaine Shi, Mengqian Zhang, Hao Chung +1
Miner extractable value (MEV) in automated market makers allows block builders to profit from transaction ordering and injected trades, imposing costs on users and contributing to…
A Trilemma in AMM Mechanism Design
Yuhao Li, Elaine Shi, Mengqian Zhang
Blockchains have popularized the Automated Market Makers (AMMs), where users trade crypto-assets directly with a smart contract, governed by a pricing function embedded in the cont…
Boost+: Equitable, Incentive-Compatible Block Building
Mengqian Zhang, Sen Yang, Kartik Nayak +1
Block space on the blockchain is scarce and must be allocated efficiently through block building. However, Ethereum's current block-building ecosystem, MEV-Boost, has become highly…
RediSwap: MEV Redistribution Mechanism for CFMMs
Mengqian Zhang, Sen Yang, Fan Zhang
Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are essential to decentralized finance, offering continuous liquidity and enabling intermediary-free trading on blockchains. However, participants in…
MEV Makes Everyone Happy under Greedy Sequencing Rule
Yuhao Li, Mengqian Zhang, Jichen Li +3
Trading through decentralized exchanges (DEXs) has become crucial in today's blockchain ecosystem, enabling users to swap tokens efficiently and automatically. However, the capacit…
SoK: Play-to-Earn Projects
Jingfan Yu, Mengqian Zhang, Xi Chen +1
Play-to-earn is one of the prospective categories of decentralized applications. The play-to-earn projects combine blockchain technology with entertaining games and finance, attrac…
Insightful Mining Equilibria
Mengqian Zhang, Yuhao Li, Jichen Li +2
The selfish mining attack, arguably the most famous game-theoretic attack in blockchain, indicates that the Bitcoin protocol is not incentive-compatible. Most subsequent works main…
An Efficient and Robust Committee Structure for Sharding Blockchain
Mengqian Zhang, Jichen Li, Zhaohua Chen +2
Nowadays, sharding is deemed as a promising way to save traditional blockchain protocols from their low scalability. However, such technique also brings several potential risks and…
An Efficient Permissioned Blockchain with Provable Reputation Mechanism
Hongyin Chen, Zhaohua Chen, Yukun Cheng +5
The design of permissioned blockchains places an access control requirement for members to read, access, and write information over the blockchains. In this paper, we study a hiera…
CycLedger: A Scalable and Secure Parallel Protocol for Distributed Ledger via Sharding
Mengqian Zhang, Jichen Li, Zhaohua Chen +2
Traditional public distributed ledgers have not been able to scale-out well and work efficiently. Sharding is deemed as a promising way to solve this problem. By partitioning all n…
