Why attestation-native chains need their own consensus.
Three things that go wrong when you put attestation work on a chain that was not built for it, the precedent (Ethereum, Filecoin, Helium) that says specialise or lose, and where Ligate research goes from here.

Proof of Useful Attestation: securing a chain with the work it actually does
We added a v3 mainnet phase to the roadmap and a custom consensus weighting that ties validator influence to the work the chain actually does. Two parts: plain English for the receipt-layer pitch, and the math for engineers who want to break it.

After Phase A: public repo, query RPC, upgrade story.
Phase A built the engine. The next pass made it readable, queryable, upgrade-aware, and public.

How the EU AI Act gets enforced on Ligate
Article 50 of the EU AI Act demands AI-generated content be cryptographically markable. Today's solutions are loose: C2PA strips on re-upload, watermarks degrade, voluntary disclosures are not auditable. We walk through the chain-level flow: how the EU AI Office registers an attestor set, how providers attest at generation time, and how a citizen, regulator, or court verifies a single image.

Building Ligate Labs: receipts as a missing primitive
First post on the Ligate Labs publication. A short founder letter on what we're working on, why now, and what to look for in the next twelve months. Permissionless attestation chain. Receipts as a missing primitive. Sovereign SDK on Celestia. Devnet Q2 2026.
