DARE Project: Simulation and Analysis of Cryptocurrency Protocols
Program(s) of Study: Financial and Business Economics
Project Supervisor: Sotirios Liaskos

I hope my research will drive advancements in blockchain technology by providing a clearer understanding of cryptocurrency protocols and their implications.

Project Description:

My project focused on analyzing and simulating cryptocurrency protocols to understand their sustainability, scalability, and performance. I conducted literature reviews, developed simulation tools using R, and performed economic analyses of consensus networks. Additionally, I learned how to use R to write simulations that model the behavior and interactions of cryptocurrency protocols. This provided deeper insights into their operation and effectiveness.
