Pricing of wrapped Bitcoin and Ethereum on-chain options

This paper measures price differences between Hegic option quotes on Arbitrum and a model-based benchmark built on Black–Scholes model with regime-sensitive volatility estimated via a two-regime MS-AR-(GJR)-GARCH model. Using option-level feasible GLS, we find benchmark prices exceed Hegic quotes o

Vault as a credit instrument

We derive five tractable credit risk metrics for DeFi lending vault depositors, grounded in a formal three level decomposition of vault risk into mechanical loss channels (Level 1), governance quality (Level 2) and smart contract code integrity (Level 3). For Level 1, we show that six structural fea

Institutionalizing risk curation in decentralized credit

This paper maps the emerging market for decentralized credit in which ERC 4626 vaults and third-party curators, rather than monolithic lending protocols alone, increasingly determine underwriting and leverage decisions. We show that modular vaults differ in capital utilization, cross-chain and cross
