Abstract
Following Bitcoin's introduction, decentralized cryptocurrencies began to emerge as a new application domain for computer science. Bitcoin's protocol has been researched and improved upon along many fronts: from its underlying incentives, through to its cryptographic primitives and its security. Many research questions and challenges still remain as cryptocurrencies and other financial systems that rely on similar principles gain wider adoption.
