Cross-chain swaps enable exchange of different assets that reside on different blockchains. Several protocols have been proposed for atomic cross-chain swaps. However, those protoc…
Hedging Against Sore Loser Attacks in Cross-Chain Transactions
Yingjie Xue, Maurice Herlihy
A *sore loser attack* in cross-blockchain commerce rises when one party decides to halt participation partway through, leaving other parties' assets locked up for a long duration.…
Cryptoasset Competition and Market Concentration in the Presence of Network Effects
Konstantinos Stylianou, Leonhard Spiegelberg, Maurice Herlihy +1
When network products and services become more valuable as their userbase grows (network effects), this tendency can become a major determinant of how they compete with each other…
Clairvoyant State Machine Replication
Rida Bazzi, Maurice Herlihy
We propose a new protocol for the generalized consensus problem in asynchronous systems subject to Byzantine server failures. The protocol solves the consensus problem in a setting…
Cross-chain Deals and Adversarial Commerce
Maurice Herlihy, Barbara Liskov, Liuba Shrira
Modern distributed data management systems face a new challenge: how can autonomous, mutually-distrusting parties cooperate safely and effectively? Addressing this challenge brings…
An Empirical Study of Speculative Concurrency in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Vikram Saraph, Maurice Herlihy
We use historical data to estimate the potential benefit of speculative techniques for executing Ethereum smart contracts in parallel. We replay transaction traces of sampled block…
