Researcher Proposes Cryptographically Signed Endorsement Lists to Replace Peer Review
francoisfleuret · x · 2026-10-14
François Fleuret suggests the future of peer review, if any, could be every researcher maintaining a cryptographically signed list of papers and colleagues they endorse. He adds that anonymity could be layered in: researcher X might anonymously broadcast endorsements of colleagues whom they themselves endorse, potentially across multiple levels — forming a decentralized web of trust as an alternative to traditional academic review.
