Thesis Topic
Minimising liquidity fragmentation in cross-chain MEV
The rapid emergence of new blockchain networks and digital assets has exacerbated the issue of liquidity fragmentation. While existing research predominantly emphasises blockchain interoperability, limited attention has been given to addressing the fragmentation of liquidity itself. To this end, we introduce FluxLayer, a three-layer omni-chain liquidity framework designed to mitigate this challenge.
