Exponential Science participated in the Workshop on Complex Networks, with sessions on AI, blockchain & new materials, held in Venice, Italy, from 21–23 July 2025, as part of StatPhys29.
Executive Chairman and CEO, Paolo Tasca, served as a member of the scientific committee, helping to shape the workshop's thematic direction. The event brought together researchers and practitioners exploring the intersection of complex systems theory with emerging technologies.
Research Presentations
Exponential Science’s R&D team presented two contributions at the Complex Networks workshop in Venice, part of the satellite programme of StatPhys 2025, the world’s foremost conference in statistical physics. Notably, Exponential Science Executive Chairman Paolo Tasca served on the workshop’s scientific committee.
Marco Alberto Javarone, R&D Director at Exponential Science, delivered a talk titled Statistical Physics of On-Chain Data. His presentation introduced methodologies rooted in statistical physics, such as phase transition models and causality analysis, to investigate behavioural patterns in blockchain systems. The research focused on detecting signals of human activity in on-chain data and correlating these with broader crypto market dynamics.
Kamil Tylinski presenting at Complex Networks workshop in Venice
Kamil Tylinski, Research Fellow at Exponential Science and Head of Data Intelligence at Nodiens, presented Measuring DAO Governance Resilience Over Time. His study revealed structural vulnerabilities in decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs), stemming from shared token holders, so-called ‘whales,’ who exert cross-community influence.
Analysing data from the ten largest Ethereum-based DAOs, the research demonstrated how a small number of actors can link otherwise separate governance ecosystems, creating systemic risk. The findings underscore the need for real-time monitoring, improved governance metrics, and new safeguards to support decentralisation.
Together, these contributions form part of Exponential Science’s broader research agenda, driven by scientific curiosity, grounded in rigorous methods, and designed to generate real-world impact across academia and industry.
Academic Collaboration
The workshop represents part of Exponential Science's commitment to supporting rigorous research at the intersection of complex systems, blockchain technology, and decentralised governance. By participating in the Complex Networks workshop, the foundation continues to bridge academic research with practical applications in decentralised technologies.
