Submissions are invited for the 7th International Conference on Mathematical Research for Blockchain Economy (MARBLE), which will take place in Cyprus on 16-18 September 2026, co-located with the 5th EAI International Conference on Blockchain Technology and Emerging Applications (BlockTEA).

 

MARBLE is an international peer-reviewed conference series that aims to provide a high-profile platform for mathematicians, computer scientists and economists from both academia and industry to present latest advances and innovations in key theories and models of blockchain. While most blockchain conferences and forums are dedicated to business applications, product development or Initial Coin Offering (ICO) launches, this conference focuses mainly on the mathematics behind blockchain to bridge the gap between practice and theory.

 

The previous editions of the conference were held in Santorini (2019), online (2021), Vilamoura (2022), London (2023), Malaga (2024) and Athens (2025). 

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:​ 

 

• Cryptoeconomics/token economics 

• Economic modelling of cryptocurrency systems 

• Game-theoretic analysis 

• Decentralised finance 

• Stablecoins 

• Consensus mechanism design 

• Distributed Applications (DApps) 

• Market mechanism analysis and incentive design 

• Analysis of mining algorithms and strategies 

• Price variation prediction and trading strategies 

• Novel indices for digital assets 

• Consensus protocol security analysis 

• Mathematical modelling of network attacks 

• Verification of smart contracts 

• Measures of blockchain health 

• Government policy related to blockchain economics

Accepted papers will be published by Springer Nature as part of the Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics book series (SPBE). The conference will accept novel research papers, systemization of knowledge (SoK) or review papers and short papers. Full paper submissions of up to 16 pages and short paper submissions of up to 8 pages (including references) should be prepared according to the LNCS format.​ Appendices are allowed, but will be considered at the reviewers’ discretion.
