Optimal risk-aware interest rates for decentralized lending protocols

Decentralized lending protocols within the decentralized finance ecosystem enable the lending and borrowing of crypto-assets without relying on traditional intermediaries. Interest rates in these protocols are set algorithmically and fluctuate according to the supply and demand for liquidity. In thi

Leveraged positions on decentralized lending platforms

We develop a mathematical framework to optimize leveraged staking (“loopy”) strategies in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), in which a staked asset is supplied as collateral, the underlying is borrowed and re-staked, and the loop can be repeated across multiple lending markets. Exploiting the fact that

Optimal execution on Uniswap v2/v3 under transient price impact

We study the optimal liquidation of a large position on Uniswap v2 and Uniswap v3 in discrete time. The instantaneous price impact is derived from the AMM pricing rule. Transient impact is modeled to capture either exponential or approximately power-law decay, together with a permanent component. In
