The group’s interest lies in the link between microscopic agent behaviour, the rules these agents abide to, and the global, emergent properties of socio-economic and socio-technical systems. Blockchain-based systems and cryptocurrencies are a pillar of our research. This includes cryptoeconomics (from financial aspects to meso- and macro- properties, such as withstanding, emergent centralisation), bigdata blockchain analytics and forensics, design of blockchain-based systems, and characterisation of economic incentives that are present (by design or set inadvertently) in them.
