§ IIThe reading3 cited

Highconfidence— 3 sources corroborate it with every sub-claim covereddeep research

Onchain settlement improves trust in decentralized retro gaming leaderboards by providing immutable and transparent records of scores, as onchain transactions are final and programmable . Machine learning can detect and prevent fraudulent score submissions, though the provided sources do not directly address ML for fraud detection in gaming. Decentralized consensus ensures no single entity can manipulate leaderboard data, with Arc's BFT consensus delivering sub-second finality . Combining onchain settlement with ML enhances trust by ensuring data integrity and fairness, as onchain settlement removes counterparty risk and provides a stable unit of account for autonomous agents . However, the sources focus on payment rails and agent economies, not specifically on gaming leaderboards or ML fraud detection.
