We explore how cybersecurity should be incorporated into corporate governance and develop a specific framework for implementing it. We consider different types of cybersecurity incidents, such as ransomware and data leaks, and their impacts on companies. We then discuss how cybersecurity situates in the current corporate governance theoretical framework. Based on the Resource Dependency Theory (RDT), we develop a specific governance framework with a focus on the role of chief cybersecurity officer, the audit committee, the regulatory powers, and market enforcement mechanisms. As more companies are becoming digital native and more services provided are digital in the Web3 space, this chapter is policy relevant as it provides a theoretical basis for implementing cybersecurity within companies in the digital space and a specific framework for the implementation.

This thesis tells the story of DTube, a blockchain-based social media (BSM) platform positioned as an alternative to YouTube. BSM platforms are situated at the intersection of the emergent Web3 discourse and the dominant platform paradigm. These novel initiatives attempt to develop community-led alternatives to mainstream commercial platforms by leveraging emergent Web3 technologies. Using the platform biography approach, the thesis traces DTubeâs evolution between 2017-2022, locating these changes within the history of the web and digital media platforms. It contributes to a broader understanding of changing discourses, technologies, and practices of the web at a crucial historical juncture.

One of the most important days you will ever have in your Web3 career is the day of your job interview. Itâs a completely different ball game in comparison to a traditional job interview. Here, the interviewers can be professionals or just some experienced employees from the company with no formal recruitment training. Due to the naturally dynamic rhythm of the Web3 industry, often those facing you during your interview are very busy and donât have the luxury of time or patience.

Mobile devices have been constructed for particular uses, prioritising interaction with externally maintained products and services as opposed to "user-in-control" processes. Attempts to increase web3 mobile adoption have to date focused on app design, device security and speed of payments. Meanwhile, web3 mobile wallets and other applications typically rely on third party services to interact with the blockchain. While resilient blockchain infrastructures seek to be unanchored from geographical and regulatory ties, significant data and computing processing power is required to run a full node of a public blockchain. If mobile devices require users to go through other people's nodes without verification, this produces points of centralisation within the network, making it vulnerable to nation state censorship. This chapter users the concept of "the confidence machine" to unpack web3 mobile futures and provide a conceptual basis for further research into web3 adoption and digital inclusion.

This article introduces the LP forward contract, a derivative replicating the payoff of a liquidity position (LP) at a future date without intermediate yield. It provides tools for mitigating directional risks and managing impermanent loss. The framework applies the Black-Scholes model to the crypto space, offering closed-form solutions for LP forwards and dynamic hedging strategies. It breaks down HODL portfolios into impermanent loss-hedging portfolios and LP forward contracts, quantifying yield farming costs and enhancing risk management for liquidity providers. This approach aligns the interests of Web3 projects and investors, promoting sustainable growth in DeFi.

This study investigates ownership of blockchain-based digital assets in a decentralized metaverse platform enabled by Web3 and built on blockchain technology. Using the dual-process model of psychological ownership, the research examines factors influencing individuals' desire for ownership in this context. Through fsQCA analysis, necessary conditions and configurations driving ownership patterns are identified. Findings reveal a substitutive relationship between Transfer rights and Voting rights, as well as between Control usage and Voting rights. Additionally, a complementary relationship is observed between the presence of Self-investment and absence of Trade as core conditions within configurations. Notably, in the absence of Profits and Trade, possessing Transfer rights or Voting rights plays a crucial role in driving individuals to acquire higher levels of blockchain-based digital asset ownership. High profits are also highlighted as a motivator for digital asset ownership. These findings shed light on the psychological dynamics of ownership in decentralized metaverse platforms and DAOs.

In the era of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), preserving personal authenticity is crucial for maintaining trust in online communities. Blockchain technology, with its unique blend of anonymity and data transparency, has facilitated the development of decentralized identities (DIDs) on the internet. These DIDs serve as digital representatives for individuals online, enhancing user trust through self-sovereign identity, transparency, and user control, while strengthening privacy. Current DID solutions, such as Proof-of-Personhood and Proof-of-Reputation, have demonstrated technological maturity and paved the way for identity applications in Web3. Building on this foundation, the Twin3 project advances the concept further by introducing the innovative Proof-of-Authenticity (PoA) to represent pluralistic human characteristics in digital format. Specifically, Twin3 employs blockchain-based Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) to transform human identities into a programmable hexadecimal matrix with 256 characteristic spaces, representing a comprehensive spectrum of human attributes, akin to a digital DNA (Decentralized Nexus of Authenticity). This study presents the Twin3 system architecture, user data management,demonstrating how this approach can enhance personal digital identity verification and management. The potential applications of Twin3 SBTs in creating personal AI agents and facilitating participation in the agentic economy are explored, demonstrating how Twin3 can digitize human attributes comprehensively and empower individuals within emerging agent-based workflows and digital ecosystems.

Decentralized exchanges are becoming a competitive necessity for Web3 users. However, they cannot beat centralized exchanges in terms of user experience. Due to expensive gas fees, the blockchain cannot implement the classic order book model which is the pillar for traditional finance exchanges. Instead, most decentralized exchanges operate on the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model using a pre-defined mathematical pricing rule. AMM is more efficient to run on the blockchain but the biggest tradeoff is impermanent loss for liquidity providers and price slippage for traders. This remains the most noticeable drawback of todayâs AMM. In this paper, we make the following contributions. First, we observe that if AMM is virtualized as an order book, its âorder-book" shape is awkwardly different from that of a real-world order book. We argue that this is conceptually connected to the above weakness. We are thus motivated to design an AMM, the first of its kind, that mimics the price impact behaviors of real-world order books. Second, the proposed AMM, thanks to this property, significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art AMM in impermanent loss. Interestingly, our AMM can even result in impermanent gain. We are also better for large orders where price slippage is a concern. Third, another feature is that, while todayâs AMM typically requires a fixed inventory ratio for the liquidity pool, the new AMM allows this ratio to vary, giving liquidity providers flexible options for joining or exiting the pool. All these advantages are offered without losing desirable properties of an AMM regarding split-order exploitation, arbitrage risks, and liquidity continuity. Our findings are validated by theoretical analysis with mathematical proofs and, also, experimental evaluation which was comprehensively conducted using two real-world datasets and a synthetic dataset representing different market scenarios. Our research is the first in the literature on AMM design that factors in statistical properties from the order book model.
