Decentralized Finance and System Security

First, this thesis aims to investigate the current state-of-the-art decentralized finance with an emphasis on system security and privacy. The examples of considered applications would involve watchtowers, and various market makers, such as liquidity swaps, decentralized sets and exchanges, lending platforms, balancers, etc. The thesis will propose novel decentralized finance approaches and empirically evaluate the results. The focus will be put on the security and privacy analysis of proposed approaches.
