Contents:

Topological analysis of bitcoin's lightning network -- Token locking for governance -- Collusion attack from hubs in the blockchain offline channel network -- Sharing of encrypted files in block chain made simpler -- Digital currencies: A multivariate GARCH approach -- Compact storage of superblocks for NIPoPoW applications -- On comparing the Influences of exogenous information on bitcoin prices and stock index values -- Performance of tip selection schemes in DAG blockchains -- Committing to quantum resistance, better: A speed-and-risk-configurable defence for bitcoin against a fast quantum computing attack -- Neural networks for cryptocurrency evaluation and price fluctuation forecasting -- Decentralized incentive-compatible and sybilproof transaction advertisement -- PoolSim: A discrete-event mining pool simulation framework -- Oceanic games: centralization risks and incentives in blockchain mining -- Smart contract-driven mechanism design to mitigate information diffusion in social networks -- Balancing cryptoassets and gold: A weighted-risk-contribution index for the alternative asset space -- An introduction to the use of zk-SNARKs in blockchains.

In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book presents the best papers from the 1st International Conference on Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy (MARBLE) 2019, held in Santorini, Greece. While most blockchain conferences and forums are dedicated to business applications, product development or Initial Coin Offering (ICO) launches, this conference focused on the mathematics behind blockchain to bridge the gap between practice and theory. Every year, thousands of blockchain projects are launched and circulated in the market, and there is a tremendous wealth of blockchain applications, from finance to healthcare, education, media, logistics and more. However, due to theoretical and technical barriers, most of these applications are impractical for use in a real-world business context. The papers in this book reveal the challenges and limitations, such as scalability, latency, privacy and security, and showcase solutions and developments to overcome them.
