• Title: Token Composition: A Graph Based on EVM Logs
• Authors: Martin Harrigan, Thomas Lloyd, Daire Ó Broin,
• Abstract summary: We perform an empirical analysis of token composition on the blockchain. We introduce a graph that represents the tokenisation of tokens by other tokens. We relate properties of the graph, e.g., connected components and cyclic structure, to the tokenisation process.

• Abstract: Tokens have proliferated across blockchains in terms of number, market capitalisation and utility. Some tokens are tokenised versions of existing tokens -- known variously as wrapped tokens, fractional tokens, or shares. The repeated application of this process creates matryoshkian tokens of arbitrary depth. We perform an empirical analysis of token composition on the Ethereum blockchain. We introduce a graph that represents the tokenisation of tokens by other tokens, and we show that the graph contains non-trivial topological structure. We relate properties of the graph, e.g., connected components and cyclic structure, to the tokenisation process. For example, we identify the longest directed path and its corresponding sequence of tokens, and we visualise the connected components relating to a stablecoin and an NFT protocol. Our goal is to explore and visualise what has been wrought with tokens, rather than add yet another brick to the edifice.

  We introduce ElasticTok, a method that conditions on prior frames to adaptively encode a frame into a variable number of tokens. During inference, ElasticTok can dynamically allocate tokens when needed. Our evaluations on images and video demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in efficient token usage.

  Tree Cross Attention (TCA) is a module based on Cross Attention that only retrieves information from a logarithmic $mathcalO(log(N))$ number of tokens for performing inference. We show that TCA performs comparable to Cross Attention across various classification and uncertainty regression tasks while being significantly more token-efficient.

  We investigate how we can use knowledge of objects to design better video models. First, we propose an object-guided token sampling strategy that enables us to retain a small fraction of the input tokens. Second, we propose an object-aware attention module that enriches our feature representation with object information.

  We present an effective method for fusing visual-and-language representations for question answering tasks. By fusing on the channels, the model is able to more effectively align the tokens compared to standard methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of compound tokens using an encoder-decoder vision-language model trained end-to-end in the open-vocabulary setting.
