NYU Blockchain Lab

Introducing the NYU Blockchain Lab We’re a research lab exploring the technology & economics of blockchain and Web3. Our mission: understand how Web 3.0 technologies can bring transparency, inclusivity, and democracy to the internet. Follow us for research and insights #Web3 #NYU

The NYU Blockchain Lab needs your help! 🙌 We’re running a short survey to understand user preferences for L1 & L2 platforms. 💎Participants get an exclusive NYU BC Lab NFT via POAP. 👉Survey link: …ckchainlabsurvey.sawtoothsoftware.com Your input = better blockchain scaling solutions. 🚀

Can blockchain platforms overcome the scalability trilemma? One thing is clear: Layer 2 solutions will play a key role. But how do users actually choose between L1 & L2 platforms like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon? 🤔 More below 👇

🏅 Just awarded Best Paper at the BU Platform Symposium Our fellows @hannahalaburda & @DanielObermeie_ explore the trade-off between decentralization and dApp diversity on blockchain platforms—highlighting why non-financial dApps are underrepresented. 🔗dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5…

What do we study at the NYU Blockchain Lab?🔎 Here are some examples: - Tensions between decentralization and centralization - Trade-offs in Layer 2 scaling solutions - Decentralized autonomous organizations Follow us if you work on similar topics! 🚀
