This study compares decentralized banks and finds some lack decentralization.

problem Decentralized banks do not fully decentralize transactions as expected.
method Network analysis of transaction data from four banks using core-periphery features.
result MakerDao and Compound are more decentralized than Aave and Liquity.

Overwhelming majority of econometric models applied on a long term basis in the financial forex market do not work sufficiently well. The reason is that transaction costs and arbitrage opportunity are not included, as this does not simulate the real financial markets. Analyses are not conducted on the non equidistant d…
