A Scalable, Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Data Sharing Framework based on Zero-Knowledge Proofs
With the proliferation of decentralized applications (DApps), the conflict between the transparency of blockchain technology and user data privacy has become increasingly prominent. While Decentralized Identity (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) provide a standardized framework for user data sovereignty, achieving trusted identity verification and data sharing without compromising privacy remains a significant challenge. This paper proposes a novel, comprehensive framework that integrates D…

This Saturday, millions of people are going to say no, and insist that every American has a right to dissent.

They’re going to march, and stand together, and listen to speeches, and hold up signs
Trump and his allies will spin their absurd conspiracy theories,…

Ahead of No Kings Protest, Trump and GOP Try to Delegitimize All Dissent
There is no such thing as genuine progressive public opinion, and therefore mass and mobilized opposition to Trump doesn't count.

A Fast-Converging Decentralized Approach to the Weighted Minimum Vertex Cover Problem
We address the problem of computing a Minimum Weighted Vertex Cover (MWVC) in a decentralized network. MWVC, a classical NP-hard problem, is foundational in applications such as network monitoring and resource placement. We propose a fully decentralized protocol where each node makes decisions using only local knowledge and communicates with its neighbors. The method is adaptive, communication-efficient, and avoids centralized coordination. We evaluate the protocol on real-world and synthetic g…
