Research at Web3 Foundation

Web3 Foundation Research is being done in an in-house research team, mostly located in Zug (Switzerland), as well as in collaboration with industrial projects and academic research groups.

Our research focuses on a number of areas that are relevant to decentralised systems:

• (Proveable) Security, Cryptography, and Privacy
• Decentralised Algorithms: Consensus and Optimization
• Cryptoeconomics and Game Theory
• Networking
• Behavioral Economics and Useability

We analyze existing protocols, come up with new ones and specify them. We work closely with development teams to make sure our work is practical and useful in context of Web3 technologies.
