Fractional Verkle Trees: A Hypertree Decomposition and Verified Proof Serialization Architecture for High-Performance Blockchain State Accumulators
Ekleen Kaur, Everton Fraga
Modern blockchain state management faces a critical scalability bottleneck: maintaining cryptographic commitments over hundreds of millions of entries becomes computationally prohi…
Layer 2 Blockchains Simplified: A Survey of Vector Commitment Schemes, ZKP Frameworks, Layer-2 Data Structures and Verkle Trees
Ekleen Kaur, Marko Suvajdzic
Layer-2 (L2) protocols address the fundamental limitations of Layer-1 (L1) blockchains by offloading computation while anchoring trust to the parent chain. This architectural shift…
The Limits of Conditional Volatility: Assessing Cryptocurrency VaR under EWMA and IGARCH Models
Ekleen Kaur
The application of the standard static Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) model for cryptocurrency risk management resulted in a systemic failure, evidenced by a 80.67% chance of loss…
The Limits of Lognormal: Assessing Cryptocurrency Volatility and VaR using Geometric Brownian Motion
Ekleen Kaur
The integration of cryptocurrencies into institutional portfolios necessitates the adoption of robust risk modeling frameworks. This study is a part of a series of subsequent works…
Time Transitive Functions for Zero Knowledge Proofs
Ekleen Kaur, Gokul Alex
Verifiable delay functions have found a lot of applications in blockchain technology in recent times. Continuous verifiable delay functions are an improvement over the basic notion…
