Advancing trustworthy AI, financial technology, and Web3 through rigorous research and real-world systems.
The Crypto-Fintech Lab at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology brings together academic research and real-world practice to advance trustworthy artificial intelligence, financial technology, and Web3.
Based in Hong Kong, we develop rigorous methods, open research artifacts, and working systems across mathematics, computing, finance, and decentralized infrastructure. Our work is organized around three connected commitments:
| 🔬 Research | 🛠️ Practice | 🎓 Education |
|---|---|---|
| Develop methods and evidence for emerging technical and financial systems. | Turn research ideas into auditable prototypes, tools, and applications. | Cultivate future-facing talent and make new technologies more accessible. |
| 🤖 Artificial Intelligence | 🧮 AI for Mathematics |
| 🔐 Cryptography & Formal Verification | ⛓️ Blockchain & Smart Contracts |
| 🏦 Decentralized Finance | 🪙 Digital Assets & Tokenization |
| 🤝 Multi-Agent Systems | 📊 Computational Finance |
|
Coming soon. Reserved for a flagship open-source project or research system. |
Coming soon. Reserved for a paper artifact with reproducible evidence. |
|
Coming soon. Reserved for a dataset, benchmark, or measurement resource. |
Coming soon. Reserved for an emerging research prototype. |
Our repositories may contain:
- Open-source projects — maintained systems, tools, and applications;
- Paper artifacts — code, configurations, evidence, and reproduction instructions associated with research outputs;
- Datasets and benchmarks — documented data resources, evaluation frameworks, and baselines;
- Research prototypes — exploratory systems with clearly stated status and limitations.
