Decentralized platforms and ecosystems represent a major evolution in distributed systems, integrating cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and consensus mechanisms to enable secure, transparent, and trust-minimized infrastructures. Initially popularized by blockchain technology, these systems now span a broader range of architectures and applications across industry and society.
Our research addresses the foundational principles, design patterns, and implementations of decentralized systems engineering. We analyze both public, permissionless platforms and private, permissioned environments, each with distinct trade-offs and domains of applicability. Key areas include economic incentive design, decentralized identity and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), and the development and governance of decentralized applications (dApps).
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, we explore its implications across various domains. Our research aims to advance the understanding of blockchain-based systems, examining their current capabilities, limitations, and potential future developments. Through the lens of blockchain-based systems engineering, we investigate real-world applications and emerging trends that will shape various aspects of our digital infrastructure.
