List of Crypto-Academics

​An alphabetic list of academics who are actively working on aspects of cryptocurrencies/assets/tokens, and/or blockchain technology.

Requirements/Defintions:
  1. Academic: Primarily receive income from an academic/affiliated institution (not a company). It is NOT required that you have a PhD to satisfy this. I'm trying to collect sources likely to produce unbiased, quality research.  
  2. Academic work in cryptos/blockchain: Blog posts do not count. Notes/reports can count depending on their quality. I understand that publication lags are long, so viewable working papers are sufficient. Sustained work in crypto is required to be added to and remain on this list. 
  3. Active: A reasonably up-to-date website that contains 2 or more papers, with at least one produced in the last three years, on this topic. The website can be SSRN, ResearchGate, ORCID, public, departmental, personal, etc.  The goal of this page is to facilitate research transmission and reduce duplication. Hunting down various papers based on a year-old CV listing is not helpful.  
​​​
If you satisfy these requirements but are not listed, send me an email with your website, discipline/category, and twitter handle (if you have one) so that I can add you! I will add additional categories if needed, the ones listed are not meant to be exclusive.
