1508.04364 | Trends in crypto-currencies and blockchain technologies: A monetary
theory and regulation perspective | The internet era has generated a requirement for low cost, anonymous and
rapidly verifiable transactions to be used for online barter, and fast settling
money have emerged as a consequence. For the most part, e-money has fulfilled
this role, but the last few years have seen two new types of money emerge.

2410.01107 | Count of Monte Crypto: Accounting-based Defenses for Cross-Chain Bridges | Between 2021 and 2023, crypto assets valued at over \$US2.6 billion were

inter-blockchain exchange. While the individual exploits in each attack vary, a
single design flaw underlies them all: the lack of end-to-end value accounting

2105.11761 | The Giving Game | This paper describes a basic model of a gift economy in the shape of a Giving

the game shows a community effect in that a small subgroup of players
eventually keeps all circulating goods for themselves. Example applications are
