On behalf of the Editors of the forthcoming Open Access journal Cryptoeconomic Systems, we are pleased to announce a two-day conference event to be held in Boston in early March 2020: Cryptoeconomic Systems (CES) ‘20.
The Cryptoeconomic Systems journal and conference series aims to be a reputable venue and scholarly publication of record for impactful original research and reviews, analyses & systematizations of existing knowledge with a focus on cryptocurrency & blockchain technology. By bringing together the technical fields of cryptography, protocol engineering and distributed systems research with insights from the domains of economics, law, complex systems and philosophy we hope to help crystallize a mature research commons.
The journal is to be published by MIT Press using a Diamond Open Access policy, co-ordinated by a Managing Editor Wassim Alsindi and two Editors-in-Chief: Andrew Miller and Neha Narula. Guidance comes from our Advisory Board, whose members are: Dan Boneh, Eric Budish, Justin Drake, Shafi Goldwasser, Maurice Herlihy, Simon Johnson, Dahlia Malkhi, Sendhil Mullainathan, Arvind Narayanan, Robert Townsend, Kevin Werbach & Pieter Wuille.
Accepted papers for Cryptoeconomic Systems ‘20 will be presented at the conference and included in a special conference proceedings edition of Cryptoeconomic Systems journal - online with print edition to follow.

Topics of Interest:
Topics of interest include all contexts of cryptoeconomic systems with emphasis on computer science, economics and law. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged.
Submission Guidelines:
We are searching for the following types of submissions: research papers, SoKs, meta-analyses, subject surveys, measurement papers, and working papers. Submissions can be up to 10000 words excluding references and appendices.
Concurrent submissions are permitted - both papers that are already posted to pre-print servers and papers already under submission at other peer-reviewed venues (such as economics working or technical papers) where we would review the paper and publish abstract & review.
Papers may be formatted in any A4 format and submitted via HotCRP as PDF files. All papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions found at the submission site.
Submissions must be anonymized, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. A total page restriction may apply for the published proceedings version and reviewers are not required to read the appendices.
Conflicts of Interest, Ethics & Professional Conduct:
Authors should also report any potential conflicts of interest with program committee members during the submission process. Please respect the latest editions of The ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, COPE and our Code of Conduct in all aspects of conference and journal interactions.
Publication and Presentation:
Accepted papers are to be included in a forthcoming online conference proceedings edition of Cryptoeconomic Systems which will be a Diamond Open Access journal published by the MIT Press. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper is expected to present at the conference in March. Though MIT Press requires only a non-exclusive license to publish accepted works, authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate publication clearances.
Open Peer Review Policy:
Long term, the editorial team is interested in undertaking experiments to maximize the speed, quality and reach of our journal’s publication processes. As a starting point, an open peer review policy will be operated with reviewer feedback being published online alongside accepted papers with optional reviewer attribution. We encourage the adoption of various forms of peer review within the cryptocurrency community, to use the publication of reviewer feedback as a way of seeding public discussions and to experiment with increased transparency and reputation systems in the review process.
