The Elliptic benchmark made GNNs the default for on-chain AML. A 2026 leakage-free re-evaluation flips the script: random forests win by 13 F1 points, randomly rewired edges beat the real graph, and every model falls off a cliff at time step 43.
A scan of ~2,000 MCP servers found zero with authentication. When an AI agent calls a tool, the tool has no idea who authorized it, with what scope, or whether a human was ever involved. IBCT tokens and the HDP IETF draft add an unforgeable answer — in 0.049 ms Rust verification.
Story raised $140M to make IP programmable for the AI era. We read its chain: 6.46M registered IP assets, 230,300 licenses ever minted, one week of royalties totaling $10 — plus the LAP/LRP royalty math and the precompile at 0x0101 that computes the graph.
Zero-knowledge proofs promised to make machine learning trustless. A field survey of where zkML actually stands — proving systems, quantization tradeoffs, and what's deployable today.
