Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is centered around the exploration of complex networks and their applications within blockchain-based networks. This includes how these networks can be understood, modeled, and utilized in various blockchain environments. It aims to cover a broad range of topics that intersect the fields of complex networks and blockchain technology. This could include the structural analysis of blockchain networks, the dynamics within these networks, and their application in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi), cryptoeconomics, and blockchain analytics. This Special Issue seeks to provide insights that will supplement the existing literature by offering new perspectives on the intersection of complex networks and blockchain technology. It aims to fill the gaps in current research by showcasing novel approaches and applications that can enhance our understanding and functionality in this rapidly evolving area. This Special Issue will build on the current body of work by offering new research and reviews that connect the theory and practice of complex networks with blockchain applications. It is expected to bridge the gaps and open new avenues for research, particularly in the analysis and application of these networks in real-world blockchain scenarios.
