Daniel Molina holds a University Degree in Telecommunication Engineering (1999) and a Master’s in Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Cryptoeconomy (2021), both from the University of Alcalá de Henares. His current research interests include protocol-level security in Ethereum —particularly validator incentives and slashing mechanisms—, the intersection of NFTs and real-world data through decentralized oracles, and the study of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) dynamics in Bitcoin. He is especially focused on understanding how these mechanisms affect decentralization, economic efficiency, and user trust in permissionless systems.
