Zero-Knowledge Proof of Training Secures Decentralized Federated Learning Consensus

The ZKPoT primitive cryptographically validates decentralized machine learning contributions, resolving the fundamental privacy-efficiency conflict in blockchain-secured federated systems.
Zero-Knowledge Proof of Training Secures Federated Consensus

This research introduces Zero-Knowledge Proof of Training (ZKPoT) consensus, leveraging zk-SNARKs to validate model contribution privately, resolving the efficiency, centralization, and privacy trade-offs in blockchain-secured federated learning.
