Elections are the base for a democratic society, but there are problems like fraud tampering, slow result processing in the current voting systems. To solve these problems, this project introduces a Blockchain-Based Voting System as a scalable solution. This system uses IOTA's Tangle (a Directed Acyclic Graph model) to provide fast, scalable, and feeless transactions, making it suitable for large-scale voting. The personal details are kept secret by using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). A Hybrid Cloud Model is used, where sensitive data is stored securely on private servers, while the public network ensures transparency. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by blocking unauthorized access. By combining these technologies, the system makes voting tamper-proof, keeps voters anonymous, allows real-time result announcements, and protects against frauds. Overall, this solution shows how blockchain can improve the trust, fairness, and accessibility of democratic participation.
Two parallel but potentially opposing forces in the financial landscape: the worldwide development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and rapid development of privately offered tokenized assets and decentralized finance (DeFi). Though with more than 130 countries now looking into CBDCs and the tokenized asset market forecast at $16 trillion by 2030, the dynamic between public and private digital monies is shaping up to be the lifeblood of the future direction of payments, lending and monetary policy. This document examines whether or not these systems can work together, or whether their structural differences will create fragmentation, regulatory friction, and systemic risk. Employing a mixed-methods design that ranges from on-chain data analysis, comparative case studies related to major CBDC initiatives (for example, digital euro, digital yuan, Project mBridge, Project Aurum), to interviews with professionals—central bankers, DeFi developers and regulators—we address three crucial questions: (1) Under what circumstances can CBDCs be used as settlement infrastructure for tokenized assets without compromising monetary policy autonomy? (2) What are the implications of design decisions for CBDCs, in particular, programmability, privacy and access, for alignment with DeFi ecosystems? (3) Which governance mechanisms might align both public and private digital money to support inclusive, efficient and resilient financial markets? Our results favour a “layered monetary architecture,” with CBDCs to serve as reliable, low-risk, secure settlement anchors and private tokenized finance to facilitate innovation, access and user-friendly services and innovative user experiences. In this paper, we present the Monetary Layer Compatibility Framework which, as we have mentioned, is a diagnostic instrument for tracking the alignment on five aspects of these criteria: settlement finality, programmability scope, privacy guarantees, access permissions, and regulatory hooks. Based on both empirical evidence and policy analysis, we suggest a “public anchor, private innovation” model that maintains monetary sovereignty and benefits from the productivity gain from tokenization. The paper ends with practical policy recommendations to central banks and international institutions to promote interoperability, reduce disintermediation vulnerabilities and halt financial balkanization.

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the stability and co‐movement of cryptocurrency assets in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), with a focus on the Speed of Adjustment (SA), the rate at which shocks dissipate, and prices revert to long‐run equilibrium. SA provides a critical measure of market efficiency and portfolio allocation in a highly volatile DeFi environment. We extend conventional cointegration analysis by applying a Fractionally Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive framework, which captures slow error corrections. Rolling estimations generate a time‐varying series of SA, allowing examination of its evolution and cross‐asset spillovers. The results reveal multiple cointegrating relationships, heterogeneous adjustment speeds, and strong contagion effects among DeFi assets. For instance, RPL exhibits rapid yet volatile adjustment, while LDO, BAL, and SNX revert more slowly, reflecting distinct risk‐return trade‐offs. Spillover analysis highlights high systemic interconnectedness, underscoring challenges for diversification and contagion management. Overall, dynamic SA emerges as a valuable forward‐looking indicator of stability in digital asset markets.
In the rise of authoritarianism, what can ordinary people do to resist the seemingly irreversible tide of state autocratization? The story of Hong Kong provides a global case for this question. In 2019, I stayed in a Hong Kong hotel interviewing “active” participants of street protests. Characterized by the ethos of “no big organization,” participants saw themselves as autonomous, spontaneous citizens rather than followers of a particular leader organization. Their coordination was based on online communication technology grounded in a decade-long fear of authoritarian encroachment. Ming-sho Ho’s extraordinary new book, Be Water: Collective Improvisation in Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition Protests, examines and analyzes the fluid coordination of this anti-authoritarian resistance, aptly captured by Bruce Lee’s famous maxim, “Be Water.” The phrase—popularized by the Hong Kong-born martial-arts legend and Hollywood star—came to symbolize the protesters’ ethos of flexibility and resilience in confronting state power. With the assistance of a rigorous research team, Ho collected and analyzed an extensive dataset of 1,770 protest events, printed materials, 189 interviews, and both online and offline observations. Drawing on this rich material, he develops the concept of collective improvisation to explain how decentralized yet highly coordinated activism emerged without formal leadership or organizational hierarchy. Moving beyond journalistic romanticized portrayals of spontaneity, Ho argues that Hong Kong’s protesters exhibited an improvised rationality—a capacity to adapt, invent, and synchronize tactics under extreme repression.
Existing Ethereum phishing scam detection methods based on graph neural networks focus on subgraph sampling while ignoring the global structure of the transaction network. When applied to graph structures, the sequence length of Transformers grows exponentially with the number of hops, leading to convergence issues for Transformer-based methods when applied to large-scale Ethereum data. To address these issues, this paper proposes a global graph transformer for Ethereum account detection, (GGTEAD). GGTEAD integrates node global attention extracted via dimensionality reduction algorithms with node local attention to strengthen transactional relationships between nodes. By introducing effective edge weighting strategies and anomaly scoring mechanisms, it significantly enhances detection capabilities for minority phishing accounts. This addresses the challenge of poor detection performance for phishing scam accounts within large-scale, heterogeneous Ethereum networks, providing valuable insights for IoT-blockchain integrated environments. The experimental findings, derived from two authentic Ethereum datasets (MulDiGraph and B4E) demonstrate that GGTEAD attains F1 scores of 84.36% and 71.22%, respectively, signifying enhancements of 5.53% and 2.88% over the prevailing state-of-the-art methods ScamSweeper and Bert4eth.
Blockchain interoperability is increasingly recognized as the centerpiece for robust interactions among decentralized services. Blockchain ledgers are generally tamper-proof and thus enforce non-repudiation for transactions recorded within the same network. However, such a guarantee does not hold for cross blockchain transactions. When disruptions occur due to malicious activities or system failures within one blockchain network, foreign networks can take advantage by denying legitimate claims or mounting fraudulent liabilities against the defenseless network. In response, this paper introduces InterSnap, a novel blockchain snapshot archival methodology, for enabling auditability of cross blockchain transactions, enforcing non-repudiation. InterSnap introduces cross-chain transaction receipts that ensure their irrefutability. Snapshots of ledger data along with these receipts are utilized as non-repudiable proof of bilateral agreements among different networks. InterSnap enhances system resilience through a distributed snapshot generation process, need-based snapshot scheduling process, and archival storage and sharing via decentralized platforms. Through a prototype implementation based on Hyperledger Fabric, we conducted experiments using on-premise machines, AWS public cloud instances, as well as a private cloud infrastructure. We establish that InterSnap can recover from malicious attacks while preserving cross chain transaction receipts. Additionally, our proposed solution demonstrates adaptability to increasing loads while securely transferring snapshot archives with minimal overhead.
This study addresses key challenges in tax governance for multinational enterprises, including data silos, delayed risk identification, and insufficient privacy protection. It proposes a collaborative governance framework that integrates blockchain-based smart contracts and multimodal machine learning, termed the Blockchain-Enhanced Multimodal Risk Assessment Framework. The framework employs a dual-layer architecture that combines blockchain technology with federated feature engineering. At the data processing layer, it utilizes a multi-chain coordination mechanism based on Adaptive Proof of Stake, enhanced by a node reputation-based dynamic evaluation algorithm to significantly improve consensus efficiency and data transmission security. At the risk prediction layer, it integrates temporal dependency mining with heterogeneous graph neural networks, applying a composite embedding method to extract 89 highly discriminative features from an initial 1,423-dimensional feature space.
Although many unification programs exist in modern physics (GR, QED/QCD, SMEFT, Einstein--Aether theories, Kaluza--Klein models, and string frameworks), none contain the geometric, ledger-based structures developed in this work. This paper introduces several new advances not present in mainstream theories: A new geometric unit of physics: the double-loxodromic Aether cell \(S^{2}\!\times\!\mathbb{T}_{\mathrm{lox}}\) with fixed flux \(\int\omega_{st}=16\pi^{2}\). No existing theory employs this bipartite, distributed-charge geometry. A ledger-based unification principle: \[ A_u\,\mathrm{curl}={F_q}^{2}{\lambda_C}^{2},\]linking magnetic stiffness, square-charge circulation, and Compton-scale kinematics. No standard theory equates these invariants or interprets them as topological constants. Two-geometry representation of charge: electrostatic charge on \(S^{2}\) and magnetic/strong charge on a loxodromic ribbon. This decomposition does not exist in U(1) or SU(3). A new weak interaction: the es--mag overlap scalar \(\chi_x\), whose equation of motion generates the holonomy factor \(H(Z)\). This geometric weak channel is unlike the SU(2) electroweak theory. A parameter-free birefringent invariant: \[ \beta_0=\frac{1}{16\pi^{2}},\]controlling polarization transport in Aether modes; there is no analogue in the Standard Model or in GR. A geometric derivation of the proton mass ratio: \[ \frac{m_p}{m_e}=6\pi^{5},\]arising from the loxodromic packing constant. No mainstream framework provides an analytic expression for this ratio. A unified action with no empirical coefficients: all sector Lagrangians derive from the Aether cell geometry and QMU ledger identities. A new metrological program: independent realizations of \(A_u\,\mathrm{curl}\), and \({F_q}^{2}{\lambda_C}^{2}\) forming the falsifiable closure\[ \mathcal{C}=\frac{A_u\,\mathrm{curl}}{{F_q}^{2}{\lambda_C}^{2}}-1.\] These features constitute a genuinely new unification program: geometric, topological, and metrological, with no free scales and no reliance on SI or empirical fitting.
Property valuation, a foundational method for governments, financial institutions, and insurers to gauge economic stability, remains hindered by opaque, fragmented data practices. Despite technological advancements like Artificial Inteligence (AI) and Web3, valuation processes rely on siloed, non-standardized data that institutions rarely share—even internally. This paper identifies systemic barriers to global transparency and proposes a Proptech framework to resolve this disconnect. Unlike market valuation, which leverages AI and algorithms to predict prices, housing valuation depends on manual audits and confidential metrics. This lack of transparency limits governments' capacity to preempt real estate crises or curb speculative risks. By integrating blockchain-enabled data sharing and AI analytics, a decentralized Proptech platform, sharing a global network, could standardize and democratize valuation data, enabling real-time insights for crisis management and evidence-based policymaking. The study highlights how such innovation could transform urban planning, financial markets, and economic resilience, positioning Proptech as a catalyst for equitable, transparent valuation ecosystems.

This research examines deep-learning and machine-learning models for cryptocurrency price prediction, with a keen focus on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL). Cryptocurrencies exhibit high volatility, non-linear behavior and are able to react strongly to exogenous events, making their prediction and forecasting challenging. The primary aim of this research is to determine which predictive models yield optimal performance in characterizing these complexities and to provide empirical guidance on real-life investment and risk-management applications. Four approaches were used for this forecasting: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), a combination of LSTM-GRU models, and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) regression. The daily historical data were used to train and test each model on different forecast horizons, and performance was measured accordingly by Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values. As shown in the results, it can be observed that GRU exhibited the lowest error rates in the majority of the assets, particularly in short-term predictions. LSTM demonstrated a promising ability to capture long dependencies, whereas the hybrid LSTM-GRU system showed a similar performance proficiency by combining the relative superiorities of the two respective models. On the other hand, the conventional SGD regression was the worst among all the deep-learning algorithms, thereby demonstrating the extreme capability of these algorithms in modelling non-linear time sequences. The results confirm GRU as the most viable model for AI-powered crypto prediction and demonstrate the potential of hybrid architecture, at least in certain situations. This study will contribute to the existing debates about the role of deep learning in predicting financial outcomes and provide valuable insights to traders, analysts, and researchers navigating the uncertainties of the digital asset world.

With the rapid expansion of sensor networks across domains such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and smart healthcare, ensuring secure and reliable data storage in resource-constrained environments has become a critical challenge. Traditional centralized storage systems struggle with data tampering, privacy leakage, and vulnerability to collusion among nodes. Blockchain technology, characterized by decentralization, immutability, and traceability, provides a promising foundation for trustworthy sensor data management. Among various consensus mechanisms, Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) has been recognized for its efficiency and low energy consumption, yet it faces two critical issues: limited incentives for ordinary sensor nodes to participate in voting and the risk of collusion that undermines fairness and stability. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a blockchain-enabled sensor data storage framework incorporating a four-party evolutionary game model. The model explicitly captures the strategic interactions among cluster head nodes, ordinary sensor nodes, competing gateway nodes, and supervisory nodes, while integrating reputation evaluation, penalty enforcement, and supervisory oversight. Through evolutionary game analysis, the proposed framework reveals the stability conditions of node behaviors and identifies strategies that promote fair and secure consensus. Simulation results verify that the mechanism enhances node participation, suppresses collusion, accelerates consensus convergence, and achieves superior throughput and fault tolerance compared with existing schemes. This research provides theoretical insights and practical guidance for designing secure, efficient, and scalable blockchain-enabled sensor network data storage systems.
The security of blockchain systems relies on the honest majority assumption. However, strategic mining threatens this assumption, because selfish miners can gain more block rewards than honest miners by attacks such as withholding blocks. Due to its significant implication, blockchain mining games have been studied in PoW and PoS under various settings using different methods. Nonetheless, this paper argues that the practical limitation of random beacons has not been exploited in strategic mining in PoS blockchains. Current PoS blockchains use random beacons to randomly select validators for each slot. However, the randomness is usually fixed for multiple slots, due to the latency of distributed random beacon protocols. This indicates that validators actually know some information about the election result in the future, which contrasts with the Markov process models in previous analysis. Using this information, this paper presents a close to optimal mining strategy based on an optimal interval scheduling algorithm for each epoch. For proof-of-stake protocols with no propagation delay, we show that a validator with arbitrary proportion of stake can strictly benefit from strategic mining and get significantly higher block rewards than the previous strategies.

The use of blockchains for data certification and traceability is now well established in both the literature and practical applications. However, while blockchain-based certification of individual data is clear and straightforward, the use of blockchain to certify large amounts of data produced on a nearly continuous basis still poses some challenges. In such a case, in fact, it is first necessary to collect the data in an off-chain buffer, and then to organize it, e.g., via Merkle trees, in order to keep the size and quantity of certification data to be written to the blockchain small. In this paper, we consider a typical system for blockchain-based traceability of a production process, and propose and comparatively analyze some strategies for certifying the data of such a process on blockchain, while maintaining the possibility of verifying their certification in a decentralized way.
This article examines the evolutionary trajectory of contactless payment systems across closed-loop and open-loop architectures, tracing their development from magnetic stripe foundations through EMV chip technology to contemporary NFC implementations with cryptogram-based security. The comparative analysis highlights how closed-loop systems deliver enhanced customer loyalty and data ownership, while open-loop networks provide global accessibility and financial inclusion. The security architecture of contactless payments is explored through a detailed examination of cryptogram-based authentication, tokenization mechanisms, vulnerability mitigation strategies, and biometric integration. Future directions reveal emerging trends, including digital-only credential issuance, integration with adjacent technologies such as IoT and distributed ledgers, evolving consumer trust dynamics, and the developing regulatory landscape. The article illuminates how contactless innovation continues to reshape retail finance while balancing convenience, security, and commercial objectives across payment environments by analyzing these technological and ecosystem factors.

Blockchain technology into the healthcare sector, logistics, finance, and massive IoT system, this technology is making its way into it. With the issue of privacy becoming much more critical than before in the adoption phases. Even though blockchains provide integrity and resistant storage against tampering, numerous implementations still expose behavioural evidence, time-based data, besides other forms of metadata, which may be compromised by inference attacks. These breaches become more apparent when there is an exchange or near real-time processing of sensitive information. This paper will analyze the performance of three widely discussed privacy-saving methods Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), not to mention Differential Privacy (DP) in a practical blockchain architecture and not in isolation. A testbed made of Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum instances privately owned was constructed to enable each of the methods to be tested under the same conditions. The experiments made trade-offs of transaction suspensions, added computational load, and exposure to metadata-based attacks.The results demonstrate that ZKP-based settings store observable metadata substantially and restricted the amount that an adversary would deduce regarding transaction patterns. HE was a good implementation in areas where safe computation was needed but with significant latency overhead. The least significant communication impact was on DP, which was, however, to be carefully tuned in terms of its privacy parameters to prevent the decline in protection. We further conducted simulated attacks to research into the reaction of each approach to pressure and detail how validation can be extended in the future with the aid of open datasets through the MIMIC-III, OpenAQ, and TII cybersecurity logs. On the whole, the findings provide useful insights to teams, who want to embed cryptographic privacy tools in production-scale blockchain systems in particular in those industries where confidentiality and data protection cannot be jeopardized.

The industry growth of the digital currency market and the existence of the old banking system, in turn, has necessitated an urgent requirement of a hybrid financial infrastructure that will offer an effective, secure, and real-time interoperability. The current banking networks are founded on centralised books, which implies that interbank settlements are slow, untransparent, and involve high fraud risks. In contrast, the decentralisation and immutability of a public blockchain network are associated with the price of scalability, as well as regulatory and integration issues. Such loopholes will be bridged in this research through the introduction of a Decentralised Ledger Architecture of Hybrid Banking (DLHB), a consortium-based permissioned blockchain infrastructure, in which interbank fiat settlements are registered. Nevertheless, open blockchain networks will be used to effect digital currency settlements. Their connection will be based on cross-chain smart contracts that will facilitate the coordination of atomic, secure, and auditable transfers. It is built on recent cryptography-based capabilities, such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and secure multi-party computation (SMPC), which can protect sensitive financial information and facilitate compliance. BFT protocols, which are optimised at the consortium layer, are classified under Byzantine Fault Tolerance to ensure that the technology meets both security and high throughput requirements. The public blockchain layer is optimised for the validation of Proof-ofStake (PoS). Simulation experiments indicate that the DL-HB framework is capable of supporting up to 85% higher transaction throughput, 60% reduced latency, and much more audit-friendly and fault-tolerant compared to the traditional banking systems and to the current blockchain solutions. The recommended architecture will allow co-existing between digital and fiat transactions on a transparent basis since the architecture will eradicate bottlenecks in operations, decrease the possibility of fraud, and real-time settlements. This paper proves that a multi-layered high-technical quality blockchain platform can redesign the hybrid banking systems as an efficient, secure, and scaled platform to integrate the emerging digital assets into the traditional financial systems without affecting regulatory compliance or stability of operations.

Due to increased globalization and international travel, there is a growing demand for secure and private identity verification systems at border entries. Reliance on databases controlled by only a few hinders quick, safe, and easy border crossings for travelers. The paper proposes a system utilizing blockchain technology that would enable individuals to verify their identities in real-time when traveling internationally. The system suggested for travelers utilizes selfsovereign identity technology, allowing them to manage their verified IDs on their devices through wallets based on blockchain technology. Once biometric details, such as facial recognition, fingerprints, and iris scans, are collected from each individual, they are linked together on the identical federated, permissioned blockchain by the nation's and border agencies. With the help of smart contracts, it is possible to control entry such that only approved agencies verify traveler documents, and zero-knowledge proofs ensure that only essential attributes about a person's identity are disclosed. Simulations prove that the system reduces verification time to under two seconds, significantly outperforming traditional systems, and prevents nearly 90% more identity fraud. Additionally, since blockchain is decentralized and secure, it ensures that audit records are transparent and there are no single points of failure. The work introduces a manageable and compatible system that enables people to travel more efficiently while facilitating collaboration between border officials and countries. The next step is to do significant pilot deployments, connect to current travel technology, and face rules and differences among countries and regions to make sure air (/land) mobility grows for everyone.
The sheer rampant growth of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the safety-critical, regulated, and large-scale areas of infrastructures has enhanced the demand of deployment models that are secure, ethical compliant, and scalable in terms of operation. The proposed research aims to develop a layered AI system architecture with verifiable privacy, federated orchestration, and explanation of decision-making as the first principles, as opposed to an afterthought. The framework consists of three modular parts, namely a privacy preserving computational substrate based on holomorphic encryption (HE) and differential privacy (DP), a distributed trust model that is enforced by a zero knowledge proofs (ZKP) and decentralized authentication protocols, and an ethical governance layer that includes policy-aware execution and explainable AI (XAI) reasoning. In contrast to the isolated sandbox setup, this architecture was tried in the realistic environment of a deployment using the representative of the domain data, such as OpenAQ sensor telemetry, MIMIC-III health logs, or smart energy grid datasets. The simulations were performed on 60-node Docker Swarm cluster using orchestrated adversarial attacks such as input reconstruction, consensus disruption, and metadata inference. Based on empirical evidence, the results indicate the latency stabilization at less than 140 ms, the cryptographic computation overhead at less than 22 percent and the privacy leakage reduction at more than 83 percent compared to centralized conventional baselines. These results confirm the correctness of implementing scalable AI solutions and not compromising ethical outcomes, regulatory guidance, and computational performance. This is the stepping block of future AI infrastructures that will have to be at scale, constrained, and in a similar spirit as the human-centric values.
