Abstract While decentralized finance (DeFi) has the potential to emulate and, indeed, outperform existing financial systems, it remains a complex phenomenon yet be extensively researched. To make most of this potential, its practitioners must gain rigorous understanding intricacies, as information systems (IS) researchers. Against background, study uses multivocal literature review capture state research in DeFi. Thereby, we (1) present consolidating definition DeFi (2) analyze, synthesize,...
With the increasing adoption of decentralized information systems based on a variety permissionless blockchain networks, choice consensus mechanism is at core many controversial discussions. Ethereum's recent transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS)-based has further fueled debate which more favorable. While aspects energy consumption and degree (de-)centralization are often emphasized in public discourse, seminal research also shed light formal security both approaches...
Abstract In the energy transition, there is an urgent need for decreasing overall carbon emissions. Against this background, purposeful and verifiable tracing of emissions in system a crucial key element promoting deep decarbonization towards net zero emission economy with market-based approach. Such effective requires end-to-end information flows that link sources sinks while keeping end consumers’ businesses’ sensitive data confidential. paper, we illustrate how non-fungible tokens...
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies built on blockchains have increasingly attracted investors in recent years. Motivated by the opportunities of this technology, blockchain-based applications various sectors also been explored. Yet, so far, finance-related arguably remained most advanced relevant area blockchain usage. The resulting financial ecosystem based as infrastructure is often referred to decentralized finance (DeFi). DeFi integrates not only basic payment functionalities, but...
Zusammenfassung Die Vernetzung kommunikationsfähiger Geräte schreitet aktuell schnell voran und verspricht durch eine Ende-zu-Ende-Digitalisierung von Prozessen Effizienzgewinne neue Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Verifizierung Endgeräten ist insbesondere bei kritischen Infrastrukturen wie der Energieversorgung notwendige Bedingung. Unter anderem für die aktive Integration Kleinstanlagen Photovoltaikanlagen oder Wärmepumpen in das Stromnetz stellt sich Frage, Stamm- Bewegungsdaten Verbrauchs-...

Zusammenfassung Für die Vertrauenswürdigkeit von Finanzdienstleistungsinstituten, das Kryptoverwahrgeschäft nach § 1 Abs. 1a Satz 2 Nr. 6 KWG betreiben, ist es essenziell, dass Kunden ihre verwahrten Kryptowerte in der Insolvenz des Instituts aussondern können. Wäre dies nicht Fall und würde den im womöglich ein Totalverlust drohen, Attraktivität Geschäftsmodells Kryptoverwahrer erheblich beeinträchtigen voraussichtlich dazu bewegen, Verwahrung eigenen bzw. kryptographischen Schlüssel ohne...
