Exchange Rate Determination for Cryptocurrency Mergers: A Formal Framework

Battle Count: 50

While not directly about algorithmic trading strategies, the paper provides a rigorous framework for valuing crypto assets during corporate actions (mergers/swaps). This is relevant for event-driven trading strategies, arbitrage in token swaps, and fundamental analysis of crypto projects undergoing consolidation.

High complexity due to the abstract mathematical nature of the framework. Implementing the model requires defining specific functional forms for the valuation function and migration curves, solving self-referential fixed-point equations for the bargaining region, and handling multi-dimensional state spaces (Users, Liquidity, Security, Governance).

The paper is purely theoretical with formal proofs provided in the appendix. Reproducibility depends on the reader's ability to implement the abstract mathematical framework and calibrate the valuation function F and migration functions tau, which are not provided with specific empirical parameters.
