Decentralized agent economies increasingly build a single task from protocols that were designed and secured separately. This creates a simple problem: a workflow can look correct at each step and still produce the wrong outcome. For example, a correct escrow may release payment on an authorized approval that provides …

Multi-path reasoning methods such as self-consistency (SC) sample $K$ reasoning paths and choose the most frequent answer. However, their gains quickly plateau as $K$ increases, and existing methods do not predict when this saturation will occur. We formalize multi-path LLM reasoning as a diversity combining problem fr …

Privacy-sensitive organizations may run large language models (LLMs) in restricted or air-gapped environments while exporting selected diagnostic artifacts. We show that a compromised runtime component can hide sensitive information in intermediate activations that are allowed to leave the restricted environment. An of …

Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilers (e.g., revmc, evmone, and DTVM) for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) reuse compilation artifacts at contract-code-hash granularity. This granularity is poorly matched to real EVM workloads dominated by \emph{contract families}: factory-, proxy-, and template-driven deployments that share …
