• Abstract: Despite the fact that cryptocurrencies themselves have experienced an astonishing rate of adoption over the last decade, cryptocurrency fraud detection is a heavily under-researched problem area. Of all fraudulent activity regarding cryptocurrencies, pump and dump schemes are some of the most common. Though some studies have been done on these kinds of scams in the stock market, the lack of labelled stock data and the volatility unique to the cryptocurrency space constrains the applicability of studies on the stock market toward this problem domain. Furthermore, the only work done in this space thus far has been either statistical in nature, or has been concerned with classical machine learning models such as random forest trees. We propose the novel application of two existing neural network architectures to this problem domain and show that deep learning solutions can significantly outperform all other existing pump and dump detection methods for cryptocurrencies.

  Researchers have been pursuing the idea of replacing cryptopuzzles with useful computing tasks for over a decade. We provide insight into the effect of introducing "usefulness" and of transitioning to task classes other than cryptopuzzles. We discuss pertinent techniques and present research gaps in the current state-of-the-art.

  Polkadot has gained significant attention in the digital currency landscape due to its pioneering approach to interoperability and scalability. We map Polkadot on a palette that ranges from a thriving ecosystem to a speculative coin without compelling use cases. Our findings demonstrate that crypto exchanges exert considerable influence on the Polkadot network, owning nearly 40% of all addresses in the ledger and absorbing at least 80% of all transactions.

  This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on neural networks to take advantage of these investment products. A deep neural network, which outputs the allocation weight of each asset at a time interval, is trained to maximize the Sharpe ratio. A novel loss term is proposed to regulate the network's bias towards a specific asset, thus enforcing the network to learn an allocation strategy that is close to a minimum variance strategy.

  We propose a framework to automatically detect vulnerabilities in smart contracts on the blockchain. More specifically, first, we utilize novel feature vector generation techniques from bytecode of smart contract. Next, the collected vectors are fed into our novel metric learning-based deep neural network(DNN) to get the detection result.

  Conventional smart contract vulnerability detection methods heavily rely on fixed expert rules. Recent deep learning approaches alleviate this issue but fail to encode useful expert knowledge. We develop automatic tools to extract expert patterns from the source code. We then cast the code into a semantic graph to extract deep graph features.

  This paper performs an in-depth analysis of two market manipulations organized by communities over the Internet: The pump and dump and the crowd pump. The pump and dump scheme is a fraud as old as the stock market. Now, it got new vitality in the loosely regulated market of cryptocurrencies. We report on three case studies related to pump and dump groups.

  A proof of work (PoW) is an important cryptographic construct enabling a party to convince others that they invested some effort in solving a computational task. In this work, we examine the hardness of finding such chain of PoWs against quantum strategies. We prove that the chain of PoWs problem reduces to a problem we call multi-solution Bernoulli search, for which we establish its quantum query complexity.
