Story Protocol Works With Crypto-AI Firm Ritual To Train and Track Models On-Chain

Under the so-called partnership, Ritual will begin posting its user-made AI models to Story Protocol to “prove that outputs like text, image, and voice are generated by specific models” and provide “advanced watermarking schemes that will give developers stronger security guarantees around provenance and traceability,” Story Protocol said in a statement. According to Story Protocol co-founder Jason Zhao, a new software development kit (SDK) is also in the works that will allow Ritual developers to seamlessly register their models as “IP Assets” on Story Protocol.

Crypto Custody Firm Cordial Systems Names Jump Crypto as Client as It Exits Stealth

“We give all the software to the customer side, not just a bit of the key. So they basically run everything on their side,” Higgs said. “We reduce ourselves to a simple vendor/supplier relationship where we just do code updates. You don’t need us to sign things, you don’t need us to change things on a day-to-day operational basis, you’re fully independent. I think for firms like Jump, who have a lot of regulatory oversight, that solves a lot of headaches.” Source

North Korean Hackers Used Tornado Cash to Launder $12M From Heco Bridge Hack: Elliptic

However, Sinbad itself was seized by U.S. authorities in November, prompting Lazarus to make the shift back to Tornado Cash, Elliptic said in its blog post. One of Tornado Cash’s founders, Roman Storm, was arrested last year and is awaiting trial on money laundering charges. Another, Roman Semenov, has been charged but has yet to be arrested. Source

Justin Sun Deposits $480M of ETH to Restaking Protocol Ether.Fi

Liquid restaking involves staking ether, which helps secure Ethereum, in return for a yield and often also loyalty points that can eventually be converted into a token airdrop. In return for the staked ether, restaking protocols like Ether.Fi distribute a liquid restaking token, in this case eETH, which is pegged to ether’s price. The token can be used on other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to earn additional yield. Source

Reddit Is Making a Deal With the AI Devil

The real problem is that when you put data on social media sites like Reddit, your data becomes the product. So even though you are creating the data, you have no control or ownership of it. By using the app, you’ve already legally “consented” to your own surveillance in order for you to enjoy the “free” privilege of using the platform. Source
