Black-Scholes PoW Parameters

Model

The Black-Scholes model provides a foundational framework for pricing European-style options by assuming a risk-free environment and continuous trading. Applying this model to Proof-of-Work (PoW) systems requires adapting its parameters to account for the unique characteristics of cryptocurrency markets. The model’s core assumption of a log-normal distribution for asset prices is often challenged by the high volatility and non-normal returns observed in crypto assets. This adaptation is primarily theoretical, seeking to bridge traditional finance valuation methods with decentralized asset dynamics.
