Technical Research Papers

Xenqube's research papers reflect findings from active engineering and security practice across Web3 protocols, on-chain AI systems, post-quantum cryptography, and enterprise security. Papers are written for engineers and architects, not marketing audiences.

Web3 & DeFi AI Systems Post-Quantum Cryptography Security Operations

Research domains covered

Web3 protocol design

Technical analysis of DeFi mechanisms — liquidity pool design, oracle architecture, tokenomics implementation, cross-chain interoperability patterns, and governance system design. Papers examine both theoretical properties and production failure modes.

Smart contract security

Vulnerability pattern analysis, reentrancy taxonomy, oracle manipulation attack modelling, governance attack surface mapping, and flash loan interaction analysis. Papers inform audit methodology and development practice.

RWA tokenization architecture

Compliance-aware token design for real-world asset tokenization: ERC-1400 and ERC-3643 implementation patterns, transfer restriction architecture, investor verification flows, and on-chain cap table management.

On-chain AI systems

Architecture papers on AI agent governance, policy enforcement in autonomous agentic workflows, decision traceability on-chain, and adversarial AI threat modelling for systems with on-chain execution capability.

Post-quantum cryptography

Implementation papers on CRYSTALS-Kyber and Dilithium deployment, hybrid migration design, performance characteristics in constrained environments, and cryptographic agility patterns for long-lived systems.

Stablecoin and payment rails

Architecture analysis of cross-border stablecoin corridors, CBDC integration patterns, treasury rail design, settlement finality models, and compliance architecture for regulated payment infrastructure.
