The Decentralized Science Lab (dSL) is a research lab focused on advancing knowledge and driving innovation in decentralized computing and its enabling technologies. Currently, dSL’s researchers are exploring the crosscut areas of:

​

• On-Device AI and Cloud

• Federated Learning

• Decentralized Cybersecurity

• Security of Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

• Internet of Things (IoT) Security

• AI-enabled Security Solutions

• Blockchain and Smart Contracts

• Tools for Post-Quantum Cryptography

​

“The Decentralized Science Lab (dSL) provides R&D based solutions that bridge the gap between the current state of decentralized software and systems and a future in which mass adoption is possible. The efforts of dSL research will focus on solving problems such as security& privacy, scalability, performance, and other common challenges, in order to lower the risks of implementation for early adopters and promote widespread use.”
