At the beginning of this week we met with Nilu and Rachit to discuss our progress and prepare for our meeting with our mentor, Barnabé on Tuesday. We had a great discussion with him. We gave a presentation about our progress made so far, and then extensively discussed about the upcoming steps, modelling and simulation related to prover selection and rewards. Created also extensive notes
We received great feedback and inputs from Barnabé, and discussed the practical aspects of an agent-based modelling that we are conducting. We have also agreed in meeting every two weeks for the remaining period of the EPF (can be even more frequent if needed).
Since our meeting I have been reading blockchain-related research papers using agent-based modelling to get more familiar with its practical application.
Research writings:
- Agent-Based_Modeling_of_Blockchain_Decentralized_Financial_Protocols
- Agent-Based Modelling of Ethereum Consensus
- An Agent-Based Model Framework for Utility-Based Cryptoeconomies
- Manipulation of the Bitcoin market: an agent-based study
- An agent-based simulation and sensitivity analysis in blockchain-coordinated supply chains
I am also reviewing the below two writings suggested by Barnabé. These will be very useful for our simulation.
I have created notes and collected my thoughts on our upcoming modelling and simulation, as well as on prover selection methods. This process inspires my thinking a lot and helps me discover connections, correlations and come to new ideas.
I'll finalize them and post them here soon.
