Open-source cryptography & distributed-systems lab

Cryptographic fair-exchange protocols for decentralized systems.

MathCrypt Research Inc. is an independent research lab. We design open-source cryptographic protocols and publish openly — with work spanning verifiable computation, data availability, and fair exchange.

Focus

Our current work centers on fair exchange in the decentralized setting — cryptographic protocols that let mutually distrusting parties exchange data with a fairness guarantee: either both sides receive what they came for, or neither does.

Open source

Alongside our protocol research, we build and maintain a Skip Graph DHT — a peer-to-peer distributed hash table for decentralized routing and lookup — with implementations in both Rust and Go.
