The 0 to 1 Guide for MEV

By: 0xmebius This is a quick and dirty guide to MEV meant to get you up to speed on the latest in the space, nothing more, nothing less. The guide is sorted so that each subsequent topic builds upon previous knowledge, and increases in complexity as topics advance. Obviously skip things you already know. The guide is also nested depending on the level of depth you wish to explore for each particular topic. Each nested child topic represents a further niche concept in the parent topic. Most ge...

The Guide to DeFi Governance

By: Ratan Kaliani, Annamira O’Toole & Shivam Patel In the spirit of decentralization, DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols have been empowering their communities to guide the future of these protocols through on-chain governance. However, the ecosystem of DeFi governance and token delegation can often be hard to navigate. Here at Blockchain at Berkeley (B@B), we’ve learned a lot from running our delegation program for 4 protocols (Uniswap, Compound, Aave, Fei) over the past year . This guid...

A Mathematical Introduction to Lattice Cryptography: The Quantum Security Solution

Author: Elson LiuBackgroundQuantum computing continues to develop at a staggering pace. With traditional cryptographic schemes—like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)—going bust in the dooming presence of advanced quantum algorithms (i.e. Shor’s algorithm), cryptographers are in urgent need of a quantum resistant solution. One of the most promising candidates is lattice-based cryptography. In this article, we’ll introduce the fundamental concepts of lattice-based cryptography and discu...
