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. @KushalBabel @iseriohn42 @_mahimna

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. @KushalBabel @iseriohn42 @_mahimna

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).
Our new #MeetIC3 weekly series introduces valuable IC3 community members who advance blockchain technology.
Meet Yan Ji @iseriohn42 from China, a CS PhD student at Cornell Tech advised by Prof. @AriJuels. Learn more about her research and publications➡️ yji.me/
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.
This CCS paper eprint.iacr.org/2021/1350 along with the FC workshop solvency attacks paper eprint.iacr.org/2022/043
are now in the top10 security research innovation finalists in CSAW 22 competition🤞(winner pending)

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=8u1MKhZs…. @wattenberg @viegasf @KushalBabel @iseriohn42 @phildaian @grimmelm
We have a [video demo](youtube.com/watch?v=Y-M6G565…) at ETH Denver 2022 Hackathon! Press: tech.cornell.edu/news/this-n…
Scalper bots regularly spoil NFT drops. Yan Ji @iseriohn42 to give a talk on CanDID NFT (nft.candid.id/)—an anti-bot NFT technology that leverages decentralized identity via oracles. (At IC3 NFT gallery opening on 3 Oct.)
Oct 3! Also check out our attempt on NFT rights management: [EIP-5218](eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-5…) and [IC3 NFT license](eips.ethereum.org/assets/eip…)
As IC3’s NFT gallery opening at Cornell Tech approaches (3 Oct.), it’s worth highlighting this outstanding blog post on NFT copyright issues by some of the speakers. @initc3org @grimmelm @iseriohn42 @relyt29: medium.com/initc3org/copyrig….
Very cool work on NFT licensing! New option to managed NFT licenses with EIP-5218&5554
Over the next couple weeks we joined forces to make our specs compatible and published EIP-5554!

Absolutely agree, and the renovations in the crypto world may also shed light on problems in legacy systems
So my take away (not necessarily in her talk).
A lot of the hacks/incompetent of cryptocurrency service providers is not new. We have already lived through that era over 100 years ago.
The community reached a steady state to protect funds. Crypto will follow the same path.

🚨🚨NEW RESEARCH🚨🚨
In “Copyright Vulnerabilities in NFTs”, @iseriohn42, @relyt29 and I describe some of the many, many ways in which NFT projects have gotten their copyright licensing wrong. 1/

New IC3 Blog post: Copyright Vulnerabilities in NFTs
by @grimmelm, @iseriohn42, @relyt29
IC3 researchers examined the mismatch in current NFT practices between copyright law, community expectations, and largely unenforceable current implementations.

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.
