The paper reviews four studies that combine blockchain and AI to secure data sharing, model integrity, and autonomous decision-making in distributed systems. It highlights how blockchain’s immutability, decentralized consensus, and verifiable provenance can address trust gaps in training data, real‑time monitoring, and automated code remediation. The authors propose a layered architecture integrating hardened models, blockchain‑anchored provenance, AI anomaly detection, and smart‑contract‑governed multi‑agent remediation, and outline open challenges in scalability, privacy‑transparency trade‑offs, and governance.

This paper reviews blockchain-assisted intrusion detection and prevention systems for IoT and IIoT, noting that prior studies ignore the shift toward modern Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) architectures and lump blockchain’s roles together. It proposes a three‑axis taxonomy—detection‑system class, blockchain functional role, and response‑automation maturity—to classify recent research (2019‑2026). The authors identify gaps such as the lack of per‑endpoint blockchain‑anchored response loops due to latency, deployment, and community mismatches, and highlight cross‑cutting challenges like consensus latency, post‑quantum cryptography, smart‑contract vulnerabilities, and LLM‑based detection risks, concluding with a research agenda for hybrid on‑chain/off‑chain orchestration.

arXiv:2606. 17102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum computing promises transformative advances across science and industry, yet the physical hardware that enables these computations remains invisible to the public: quantum processors operate inside sealed dilution refrigerators at temperatures near absolute zero, making direct observation impossible.

The paper introduces Fetch.ai, an industrial-strength architecture that blends classical multi-agent system principles with modern AI capabilities. It features a decentralized foundation of on-chain blockchain services for identity, discovery, and transactions, a development framework for secure, interoperable agents, a cloud-based deployment platform, and an agent-native LLM that translates human goals into multi-agent workflows. A decentralized logistics use case demonstrates autonomous agents dynamically discovering, negotiating, and transacting securely.

The paper presents a non‑invasive, cloud‑based migration strategy that protects legacy smart HVAC controllers from quantum attacks without modifying the devices or vendor cloud. It introduces a Raspberry Pi 4B gateway that performs post‑quantum key encapsulation (ML‑KEM‑768) and authentication (ML‑DSA‑65) using AES‑256‑GCM, completing handshakes in 2.48 ms and sustaining 443 sessions per second. Extensive side‑channel testing shows no timing leakage or man‑in‑the‑middle vulnerabilities, and the architecture is vendor‑agnostic, becoming redundant once native PQC support is adopted.
