The field of blockchain and multi-agent systems is moving towards increased security and transparency. Researchers are exploring new architectures and protocols to enable secure and scalable node operations, as well as developing methods to mitigate potential security risks. One notable direction is the integration of blockchain technology with cloud services, aiming to balance convenience and protocol transparency. Additionally, the security of multi-agent systems is becoming a growing concern, with a focus on developing quantitative benchmarking frameworks to evaluate the security of agent-to-agent communication protocols. Noteworthy papers in this area include: MPC-EVM, which enables asynchronous MPC invocations by smart contracts, and Trivial Trojans, which demonstrates the potential for cross-tool exfiltration of sensitive data via the Model Context Protocol. SkyEye is also a notable work, presenting a cooperative multi-principal IAM enumeration framework for AWS environments. Lastly, the work on Agent Cascading Injection highlights the need for quantitative benchmarking frameworks to evaluate the security of multi-agent systems.
