Looking forward to our Cyber Security, Privacy and Trust Research Showcase at the School of Informatics! Get a sample of the exciting work taking place at the school, including blockchain and distributed ledger research. Reserve a spot in link below.

Excited to announce the official Twitter channel for the Edinburgh Decentralisation Index (EDI)! Follow Edinburgh Decentralisation Index (EDI) for the latest updates on decentralisation research and initiatives.

The EDI team is proud to announce that our SoK paper has been accepted into the regular program of Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2024. Read more: fc24.ifca.ai/preproceedings…

🔗 Explore the methodology behind measuring decentralisation on blockchain consensus layers with Christina Ovezik's tutorial on the EDI tool. Discover how to map blocks to entities & contribute attribution data. Watch the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=V7lx78…

Decentralisation can only be measured taking into account multiple different layers of a blockchain system. The EDI team is thrilled to announce the release of the alpha version of the tokenomics layer of EDI. Check it out here: groups.inf.ed.ac.uk/blockchainlab/…

Highlights from the QSig workshop hosted by Aggelos Kiayias & Justin Drake: Experts gathered at the @InfAtEd to explore quantum signatures. Catch some of the talks on our BTL YouTube channel and learn more in our blog post: youtube.com/playlist?list=… blogs.ed.ac.uk/blockchain/202…

The EDI team has released the Software layer, evaluating blockchain client repositories and their commit history. Check out the dashboard for visualisations and insights: blockchainlab.inf.ed.ac.uk/edi-dashboard/…

We are excited to announce our first clustering integration into the EDI dashboard with Crystal Intelligence. Clustering forensics enable a more accurate measurement of decentralisation. Read more here as well as a call for further participation: blogs.ed.ac.uk/blockchain/202…

On Sept 17, the EDI team presented the latest results & dashboard, followed by a roundtable with regulators on the need for a standard framework to measure decentralisation. Hosted by Scottish Government with reps from Bank of England, Blockchain & Digital Trust Taskforce & The British Blockchain Association

🎤 Join us today for an X Space hosted by Intersect, IO CEO Charles Hoskinson, & IO chief scientist Aggelos Kiayias. Discuss the guiding principles being proposed for the development of a thriving #blockchain ecosystem. 🔗 Today, Weds Oct. 30 at 17:30 UTC 👉 x.com/i/spaces/1dRKZ…

🏆 Congratulations to Professor Aggelos Kiayias (Aggelos Kiayias) on receiving the prestigious 2024 Lovelace Medal from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, honouring his groundbreaking contributions to blockchain technology! 🎉 Learn more about his achievements and impact on the field here: blogs.ed.ac.uk/blockchain/202…

The Edinburgh Decentralisation Index (EDI) offers a detailed framework to measure blockchain decentralisation across multiple dimensions like consensus, tokenomics, and software. Check out these visuals for more insights!
