MEV Capture Through Time-Advantaged Arbitrage
Robin Fritsch, Maria Inês Silva, Akaki Mamageishvili +2
As blockchains begin processing significant economic activity, the ability to include and order transactions inevitably becomes highly valuable, a concept known as Maximal Extracta…
Liquidity Fragmentation or Optimization? Analyzing Automated Market Makers Across Ethereum and Rollups
Krzysztof Gogol, Manvir Schneider, Claudio Tessone +1
Layer-2 (L2) blockchains inherit Ethereums security guarantees while reducing gas fees. As a result, they are gaining traction among traders at Automated Market Makers (AMMs), spar…
Rorqual: Speeding up Narwhal with TEEs
Luciano Freitas, Shashank Motepalli, Matej Pavlovic +1
In this paper, we introduce Rorqual, a protocol designed to enhance the performance of the Narwhal Mempool by integrating Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Both Narwhal and Ro…
A Public Dataset For the ZKsync Rollup
Maria Inês Silva, Johnnatan Messias, Benjamin Livshits
Despite blockchain data being publicly available, practical challenges and high costs often hinder its effective use by researchers, thus limiting data-driven research and explorat…
TierDrop: Harnessing Airdrop Farmers for User Growth
Aviv Yaish, Benjamin Livshits
Blockchain platforms attempt to expand their user base by awarding tokens to users, a practice known as issuing airdrops. Empirical data and related work implies that previous aird…
Cross-Rollup MEV: Non-Atomic Arbitrage Across L2 Blockchains
Krzysztof Gogol, Johnnatan Messias, Deborah Miori +2
This study quantifies the potential non-atomic MEV on Layer-2 (L2) blockchains by measuring the arbitrage opportunities between cross-rollup and DEX-CEX. Over recent years, we obse…
The Writing is on the Wall: Analyzing the Boom of Inscriptions and its Impact on EVM-compatible Blockchains
Johnnatan Messias, Krzysztof Gogol, Maria Inês Silva +1
This paper examines inscription-related transactions on Ethereum and major EVM-compatible rollups, assessing their impact on scalability during transaction surges. Our results show…
The Writing is on the Wall: Analyzing the Boom of Inscriptions and its Impact on Rollup Performance and Cost Efficiency
Krzysztof Gogol, Johnnatan Messias, Maria Ines Silva +1
Late 2023 witnessed significant user activity on EVM chains, resulting in a surge in transaction activity and putting many rollups into the first live test. While some rollups perf…
: A ZKP Market Mechanism
Wenhao Wang, Lulu Zhou, Aviv Yaish +3
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are computationally demanding to generate. Their importance for applications like ZK-Rollups has prompted some to outsource ZKP generation to a market…
Quantifying Arbitrage in Automated Market Makers: An Empirical Study of Ethereum ZK Rollups
Krzysztof Gogol, Johnnatan Messias, Deborah Miori +2
Arbitrage can arise from the simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to profit from a difference in its price. This work systematically revie…
Airdrops: Giving Money Away Is Harder Than It Seems
Johnnatan Messias, Aviv Yaish, Benjamin Livshits
Airdrops are a popular mechanism used by blockchain protocols to bootstrap communities, reward early adopters, and decentralize token distribution. Despite their widespread adoptio…
SoK: Decentralized Sequencers for Rollups
Shashank Motepalli, Luciano Freitas, Benjamin Livshits
Rollups have emerged as a promising solution to enhance blockchain scalability, offering increased throughput, reduced latency, and lower transaction fees. However, they currently…
