In this paper, we provide a framework to identify genuine DeFi. We introduce the concept of «On-Chain CeFi» and «centralization vectors» and explore how restricted functions, and in particular governance and upgradability patterns, affect smart contract-based financial protocols.

[Fabian Schär @fschaer]

We are excited to announce the publication of our paper, "On #DeFi and On-Chain CeFi: How (Not) to Regulate Decentralized Finance" in @JFinReg. This is joint-work with Katrin Schuler and @AnnSoCloots. Full paper: https://t.co/OSo5Q3pvwU
