Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz delivers masterclass on XRP Ledger, wrapped in a poem.

The meaningful integration of crypto technologies and artificial intelligence is still in its early stages, with many popular claims about blockchain's benefits for AI requiring further evidence. These conclusions were reached by the authors of the Crypto x AI, AI x Crypto study from the IC3 consortium. The study divides the topic into two areas. The first is the application of AI in crypto systems. Here, experts believe artificial intelligence can already assist with transaction analysis, fraud detection, identifying vulnerable smart contracts, and processing blockchain events. The second area is the application of crypto technologies. Researchers believe that the most practical benefits currently come from zero-knowledge proofs, trusted computing, and other tools that help secure computations and data processing. Broader ideas like decentralized AI governance or decentralized infrastructure have yet to see widespread adoption. A separate section addresses common misconceptions. One such misconception is the claim that blockchain can distinguish AI-generated content from human-generated content. According to IC3, a distributed ledger is suitable for timestamping and registering digital artifacts, but it does not solve the detection problem. If an external classifier incorrectly labels content before it is recorded on the blockchain, the network will merely record this error. A similar issue arises with data provenance and model outputs. Blockchain records can show that a specific version or event log existed at a particular time. However, they do not explain why a model produced a certain output, do not prove inference correctness, and do not guarantee the absence of manipulation during training. The authors also challenged the notion that crypto wallets make AI agents autonomous. They argue that while a wallet can automate economic actions without constant human approval, it does not make the model independent. An operator can still shut down the server, model, or infrastructure on which the agent operates. Nonetheless, researchers do not deny the benefits of crypto rails for AI payments. Blockchain can provide neutrality, censorship resistance, and low fees. However, the authors believe the industry needs not only to demonstrate the technical feasibility of such payments but also to quantitatively prove their advantages over centralized financial systems. In the section on decentralized AI infrastructure, IC3 specifically examined DePIN networks and computation markets. Such platforms may be cheaper for inference and small-scale training tasks, but for larger workloads, the situation is more complex: latency, bandwidth, and node connectivity can increase the overall cost. The authors point to a lack of systematic benchmarks compared to traditional cloud providers. IC3 believes the main takeaway for the market is to separate proof of concept from proven utility. Crypto technologies can enhance specific elements of AI infrastructure but do not automatically solve issues of trust, payments, data provenance, and computational efficiency. Earlier, the Ethereum Foundation proposed using blockchain as a verification environment for AI agents.

The Zcash team has agreed on consensus changes for the Ironwood update. The upgrade aims to launch a new shielded pool and limit the supply of ZEC following a recent vulnerability in Orchard, reported developer Sean Bowe. The old liquidity pool will be marked separately: after the update's activation, new users will be prohibited from interacting with it, but the ability to publish logs with updates will be retained. Wallets will stop accepting incoming transfers in Orchard and will direct assets to Orchard addresses already in Ironwood. According to Bowe, this combination of rules will "limit the circulating supply of ZEC" and prevent network participants from spending "more coins than should exist." Ironwood activation is scheduled for July. The Zcash Open Development Lab described the migration process as "simple for users." Wallets supporting Orchard will be able to transfer funds to the new pool with one click. The update is planned to be accompanied by independent audits to prevent new vulnerabilities from arising. Ironwood will be the next step following the emergency fix of a critical bug in Orchard. The bug was discovered at the end of May. It theoretically allowed for unlimited fake issuance of ZEC. However, Shielded Labs stated that actual exploitation of the vulnerability was unlikely. The fix was implemented in two stages. In early June, the team conducted a soft fork to temporarily disable transactions in Orchard, followed by a hard fork to restore the pool's functionality. In the wake of the incident, the ZEC price dropped nearly 50% at one point — to $300. After the vulnerability was addressed, the asset began to recover, and at the time of writing, its price is around $470 (+11% for the day). 15-minute chart of ZEC/USDT on Binance.

Singapore has launched the ASPIRE 2B supercomputer, designed to support advanced research in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The system is operated by the NSCC, reports TechNode Global. ASPIRE 2B integrates CPU and GPU resources on a single platform. This architecture is essential for large-scale tasks such as AI model training, big data analysis, scientific simulations, and calculations that conventional infrastructure would take too long to perform. According to the publication, ASPIRE 2B is equipped with more than 1500 Nvidia H200 GPUs, providing up to 115 petaflops of computing power. Josephine Teo, the country's Minister for Digital Development and Information, stated that the system represents a significant upgrade to the national computing infrastructure. One of the key applications is climate research. ASPIRE 2B will enable the integration of AI approaches with physical simulations to build more detailed models of extreme rainfall, rising water levels, and other climate risks. Singapore has already utilized NSCC resources in its third national climate change study, creating high-resolution models adapted to the country's urban environment. This data aids in planning coastal protection and long-term development as part of the Singapore Green Plan 2030. Another focus is healthcare and scientific research. The increased capacity is expected to assist in processing medical data, modeling complex biological processes, and accelerating the discovery of new materials. ASPIRE 2B will also be used to develop AI models that better account for the linguistic and cultural diversity of Southeast Asia. According to the minister, NSCC plans to later integrate a quantum computer with ASPIRE 2B. This aims to create a hybrid environment where classical and quantum computing can be used together. Practical applications are still forming, but potential areas include molecular modeling and materials science. The launch of ASPIRE 2B aligns with the updated national AI strategy. Introduced in May, it prioritizes expanding computing capabilities, developing industry-specific AI missions, and strengthening the country's status as an international AI hub. In January, the government announced an investment of over $1 billion in national AI research and workforce development for 2025–2030. The plan covers fundamental AI research, applied developments, and specialist training. In May, China launched 12 satellites into space as part of a project to establish a network of orbital supercomputers led by the startup ADA Space and Zhejiang Laboratory.
