At the Digital Economy Collaboration Innovation Lab (DECIL), we explore the foundational mechanisms shaping the future of decentralized finance, governance, and ownership. Our interdisciplinary research combines economic theory, cryptographic systems, and institutional analysis to investigate core primitives of the Web3 ecosystem—including stablecoins, DAOs, and NFTs. Through technical inquiry and empirical modeling, we aim to surface actionable insights that drive resilient, transparent, and efficient digital systems. Our current projects examine the stability of algorithmic currencies, the economic design of decentralized organizations, and the human capital factors underlying NFT valuation.
