Refiner: A Reliable Incentive-Driven Federated Learning System Powered by Blockchain
Summary: Refiner is a blockchain-based FL system that monetizes contributions by data volume and update quality. It uses Ethereum contracts and a validator committee to audit updates and penalize tampering, ensuring robust aggregation in incentive-driven FL. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
