The 4th International Cryptoasset Analytics Workshop (CAAW) brings together researchers from different academic disciplines to present their newest findings related to cryptoassets and their ecosystems; learn about novel analytics methods spanning all layers (P2P network, consensus, on-chain, off-chain); and discuss open challenges and possible future directions. Since cryptoasset analytics has become relevant across disciplines, we envision this workshop as an interdisciplinary venue, also connecting to cross-cutting issues related to law, ethics, privacy, and security.
The program of CAAW 2025 workshop (co-located with Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2025) features a mix of invited talks and a selection of peer-reviewed research contributions. Workshop topics range from empirical studies, over analytics methods and tools, to case studies, datasets, and cross-cutting issues like legal or ethical aspects. Scientists and professionals from all disciplines and sectors are invited to share their knowledge and experience in this niche intersection of Cryptoassets and Analytics through this workshop, as well as in the future iterations of CAAW.
CAAW 2024 is a half-day workshop — 18 April 2025, 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm (JST) — co-located with Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2025.

Empirical Research in Crypto: Challenges and Opportunities — Brad Bachu
Brad is a researcher at Uniswap Labs. He holds a PhD in Physics from Princeton University, and a BSc in Physics and Mathematics from MIT. Abandoning the search for the fundamental truths of nature, he now focuses on topics covering decentralized finance, trading, and blockchains.
Bringing DeFi to Bitcoin — Dr. Owen Vaughan
Dr. Owen Vaughan is a research scientist specialising in blockchain and Web3 technology. He is
passionate about Bitcoin and pushing the boundaries of the technology using modern advances such as ZKPs
and verifiable computation. After leading the nChain R&D team for seven years he is now an independent
specialist.
This workshop solicits submissions related to cryptoassets and their ecosystems. This includes empirical studies, analytics methods and tools, case studies and use cases, interfaces to web technologies, reusable datasets and cross-cutting issues.
Topics and themes of interest include but are not limited to:
The Cryptoasset Analytics Workshop (CAAW) welcomes submissions of papers documenting novel scientific research relevant to the topics of the conference. Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. The review process is double-blind. The submitted document should not include any author names, affiliations, or other identifying information. This may include, but is not restricted to: acknowledgements, self-citations, references to prior work by the author(s) etc. Submissions not complying with this guidance will be desk-rejected.
We welcome three types of submissions:
Full Papers: Full paper submissions must not exceed 15 pages in length, *including* references and well-marked appendices.
Short Papers: Short paper submissions must not exceed 8 pages in length, *including* references and well-marked appendices.
Posters: Poster submissions must not exceed 3 pages in length (maximum 2 pages for the main paper content + maximum 1 page for appendices).
The papers must be formatted according to the instructions below. Papers not complying to the page limits or not following the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected.
Submissions will be handled via Easychair, at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caaw25. Please take some time to include appropriate keywords for your submission.
The submitted abstract and keywords will be leveraged to find adequate reviewers for submitted papers. Please write an email to contact@caaw.io, if you have any questions.
Submissions must adhere to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science format https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines.
Submissions for review must be in PDF format. They must be self-contained and written in English. The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or do not view or print properly, will be rejected without review.
