IOHK | RESEARCH
Decentralization imposes major technical challenges to financial systems worldwide and IOHK Research is interested in every single one of them.
Vision
The vision for IOHK Research is to be a leading institution in the academic study of blockchain. We are establishing a reputation for tackling difficult research questions and for building a strong foundation in the blockchain industry.
New Research Areas
The traditional approach to the financial world has always been centralization, where banks and financial institutions play the main role. The new paradigm is decentralization where peer-to-peer transactions and cryptocurrencies are the norm. The research areas that arise from this change are open and wide.
Areas of Interest
□ Cryptography
□ Software Engineering
□ Distributed Systems
□ Human-Computer Interaction
□ Networks
□ Formal Verification
□ Programming Languages
□ Trusted Hardware
□ Economics
□ Policy and Regulation regarding securities/foreign exchange/businesses
□ Tax Law
Structure
IOHK Research is divided into three main areas, headed by Professor Aggelos Kiayias, Chief Scientist at IOHK. We have:
□ Senior Research Fellows
® Established international reputation as a leader in a certain area of interest.
® Extensive publication record that includes top venues in their area of expertise.
® Experience in mentoring.
□ Research Fellows
® Ph.D. holder in area of interest.
® Good publication record.
□ Researchers
® Holder of an M.Sc. or equivalent.
® Works under the supervision of an RF or SRF.
Global Research Collective
With our decentralized teams across the globe, IOHK connects geographically dispersed research talent in top universities to encourage innovation through collective effort. Each team member has the freedom to propose project ideas, and establish a research agenda and collaborations.

Cascading disruption
It is the founding principle of IOHK. Cascading disruption is the idea that most of the structures that form the world’s financial, governance and social systems are inherently unstable and thus minor perturbations can cause a ripple effect that fundamentally reconfigures the entire system. Our company is committed to identifying and developing technology to force these perturbations in order to push towards a more fair and transparent order.
Projects we work on
Currently IOHK is studying new tools and paradigms for cryptographic research and the architecture of cryptocurrencies. More specifically, we are collaboratively developing an open-source library for universal composability and the Scorex project. We also do for-profit work aligned with our mission, vision and goals.

Cardano is a blockchain platform with more advanced features than any protocol yet developed, and the first to evolve out of a scientific philosophy.
