Overview
Blockchain technology underpins cryptocurrencies, DeFi protocols, and increasingly
traditional financial infrastructure. Security remains paramount as billions of dollars
in digital assets require protection from sophisticated attacks targeting smart contracts,
consensus mechanisms, and cryptographic primitives.
This research track examines security challenges across the blockchain ecosystem, from
formal verification of smart contracts to detection of market manipulation in
decentralized exchanges. We address both technical security measures and the regulatory
frameworks emerging to govern digital asset markets.
