arXiv paper models lifecycle costs of smart-contract federated learning marketplaces
A new arXiv preprint proposes applying lifecycle cost analysis to federated learning marketplaces that use smart contracts to coordinate training among parties who do not trust each other. The author argues that existing architectures are usually assessed only in isolated economic terms, leaving their full cost profile unclear. The paper aims to provide a more complete framework for evaluating the economics of such blockchain-based FL systems.
