Crypto today is filled with trusted components: ideas to build trustless apps 🧵⤵️

Thrilled to join MystenLabs.sui as a research intern this summer, mentored by Kostas Kryptos! Looking forward to an amazing and productive journey exploring blockchain and web3 technologies with the best team!

The next iteration of PROF blog post is out. We believe PROF is a simple, promising way to combat harmful MEV and get fair ordering (for your favorite notion of 'fair'). We're exploring ways to make it happen. Kushal Babel Yan Ji Mahimna Kelkar

MEV exploitation may seem inevitable in a world of profit-maximizing validators—with resulting harm to users. We believe it's not. We propose a different way in a new system called PROF. Kushal Babel Yan Ji Mahimna Kelkar

Super excited to work in this innovative & inclusive community!Blockchains reshape the landscape of trust. My research reflects how we can design trustworthy & practical systems utilizing blockchains. E.g., solvency proofs for banks/exchanges, verifiable reputation (coming soon).

While presenting proof of liabilities at #CSAW22 , I was asked “what’s the incentive for CEXes to implement GPoL”. I guess one of the lessons to be learned after FTX, is that it’s urgent for these centralized service providers to EARN users’ trust.

A recording of the IC3 NFT Gallery Opening is now live, for those who missed the event in NYC. Talks on technical, legal, and cultural facets of NFTs today and in the future. Visit youtube.com/watch?v=8u1MKh…. Martin Wattenberg Fernanda Viégas Kushal Babel Yan Ji 🤖 James Grimmelmann

We have a [video demo](youtube.com/watch?v=Y-M6G5…) at ETH Denver 2022 Hackathon! Press: tech.cornell.edu/news/this-new-…

Oct 3! Also check out our attempt on NFT rights management: [EIP-5218](eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-5218) and [IC3 NFT license](eips.ethereum.org/assets/eip-521…)

Very cool work on NFT licensing! New option to managed NFT licenses with EIP-5218&5554

Absolutely agree, and the renovations in the crypto world may also shed light on problems in legacy systems

🚨🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨🚨

In “Copyright Vulnerabilities in NFTs”, Yan Ji, ǝuᴉu ʎʇuǝʍʇ ʇʎlǝɹ and I describe some of the many, many ways in which NFT projects have gotten their copyright licensing wrong. 1/

NFTs have boomed in the past year — and so has the # of bots that make this revenue model less valuable.

A new tool by Cornell Tech researchers aims to enforce a one-NFT-per-person policy.

How can cryptographic techniques allow financial institutions to conduct decentralized audits while preserving privacy? At this week's DLI seminar, Cornell Tech PhD student Yan Ji presents her work on cryptographic proof of liabilies. Read more: dli.tech.cornell.edu/seminars/Proof…

Our Rust sparse Merkle tree accumulator is now public. Applications: solvency proofs in #blockchain wallets (Maxwell, DAPOL, treeified Provisions) & HashWires range proofs. It supports batch inclusion proofs, random sampling & hiding leaf-population. github.com/novifinancial/…
