Model-Free Discretisation-Invariant Swap Contracts [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Realised pay-offs for discretisation-invariant swaps are those which satisfy a restricted `aggregation property' of Neuberger [2012] for twice continuously differentiable deterministic functions of a multivariate martingale. They are initially characterised as solutions to a second-order system of PDEs, then those pay-offs based on martingale and log ...

Singularity Protocol for Cross Chain AMM without Intermediate Tokens or Bridges [PDF]

arXiv
Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are decentralized exchange protocols that provide continuous access to token liquidity without the need for order books or traditional market makers. However, this innovation has failed to scale when it comes to cross-chain swaps.

Chloride‐Mediated Electron Buffering on Ni‐Fe Anodes for Ampere‐Level Alkaline Seawater Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Utilizing abundant chloride ion (Cl−) of seawater, the small organic molecule (SOM) layer on the electrocatalyst surface is converted to SOM‐Cl layer. Meanwhile, the conjugated structure of SOM is modified. SOM‐Cl layer can effectively mitigate the damage caused by the highly oxidative environment.

Cross-Currency Basis Swaps Referencing Backward-Looking Rates [PDF]

arXiv
The financial industry has undergone a significant transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to Risk Free Rates (RFR) such as, e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) in the U.S. and the AUD Overnight Index Average (AONIA) in Australia, as the primary benchmark rate for borrowing costs.
