The Paradox of Adversarial Liquidation in Decentralised Lending
We present a holistic framework for risk and reward management for decentralised lending protocols, such as AAVE or Compound. This framework highli
Automated Market Makers Designs Beyond Constant Functions
Popular automated market makers (AMMs) use constant function markets (CFMs) to clear the demand and supply in the pool of liquidity. A key drawback
SoK: Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) with Automated Market Maker (AMM) Protocols
As an integral part of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) with automated market maker (AMM) protocols have
Inefficiency of CFMs: hedging perspective and agent-based simulations
We investigate whether the fee income from trades on the CFM is sufficient for the liquidity providers to hedge away the exposure to market risk. W
The Case for Variable Fees in Constant Product Markets: An Agent Based Simulation
We are interested in how the relationship between the fee in a constant product market (CPM) and the volatility of the swapped pair on other liquid
Tail-GAN: Nonparametric Scenario Generation for Tail Risk Estimation
The estimation of loss distributions for dynamic portfolios requires the simulation of scenarios represent- ing realistic joint dynamics of their c
Identifiability in inverse reinforcement learning
Inverse reinforcement learning attempts to reconstruct the reward function in a Markov decision problem, using observations of agent actions. As al
Estimating risks of option books using neural-SDE market models
In this paper, we examine the capacity of an arbitrage-free neural-SDE market model to produce realistic scenarios for the joint dynamics of multip
