The project also completed its first AHP traceability anchor on Base Sepolia, configured Google and GitHub OAuth integrations, and expanded its Comic Universe with new visual chapters linked to its repositories. MyZubster emphasized that the blockchain anchor proves data integrity and timestamping only, not that any physical recycling operation occurred.", "body_md": "The last few days brought several important developments for MyZubster. We moved forward across institutional dialogue, blockchain traceability, platform authentication and visual storytelling.\n\nHere is what happened—and what comes next.\n\nMyZubster received an invitation to participate in an institutional online hearing connected to the update of Italy’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy for 2026–2028.\n\nThe hearing is scheduled for September 22, 2026.\n\nWe confirmed our participation and submitted a complete documentation package containing:\n\nWe also informed members of the wider LIFE and research network about the opportunity.\n\nThis invitation does not represent funding, endorsement or a formal partnership. It is an opportunity to contribute ideas and practical experience to an institutional discussion.\n\nOur contribution will focus on:\n\nMyZubster also completed its first real AHP traceability anchor on Base Sepolia.\n\nThe prototype can:\n\nThe first confirmed testnet transaction was:\n\n```\n0x6dcf39faac6d1eabbaf0e6857ae329d41a1de74cf8320f8f9f048a2dca7ce649\n```\n\nThis is an important technical milestone, but its meaning must remain precise.\n\nA blockchain anchor can demonstrate the integrity and timestamp of registered data. It cannot independently prove that a physical collection, treatment or recycling operation occurred. Those claims still require qualified measurements, authorized operators and independent verification.\n\nPersonal and health data must never be written on-chain.\n\nThe AHP work is being developed as a possible foundation for pilots involving absorbent hygiene products and other controlled waste streams.\n\nA future end-to-end pilot could record:\n\nQR or NFC identifiers could connect physical containers or batches to their event histories.\n\nSensitive documents would remain in protected off-chain storage. Only minimal, non-personal integrity proofs would be anchored publicly.\n\nThis remains a pilot proposal. MyZubster does not currently claim to operate or certify healthcare-waste recycling.\n\nWe configured and tested the platform’s Google OAuth integration.\n\nUsers can explicitly authorize Gmail read-only access for profile-related functionality. Automatic synchronization requires a separate consent flow and an encrypted refresh token.\n\nThe architecture follows several principles:\n\nWe also configured GitHub OAuth for identity verification and onboarding. The flow uses limited permissions:\n\n```\nread:user\nuser:email\n```\n\nThis allows MyZubster to connect a verified GitHub identity to a platform profile without requesting repository-write permissions.\n\nWe expanded the MyZubster Comic Universe with visual chapters dedicated to:\n\nThe newest visuals are now being connected to the main comic and relevant GitHub repositories.\n\nVisual storytelling is useful because complex systems are difficult to communicate through APIs and technical specifications alone. The images provide accessible entry points into the architecture.\n\nHowever, every visual carries a clear boundary:\n\nAn illustration explains a concept. It is not, by itself, evidence that the concept has been implemented, validated or certified.\n\nThe new visual material has been integrated into relevant repositories, including:\n\n`space-station`;` I-ECO-01`;` urban-lab-nurse`;\nThe repository READMEs now connect each visual to its technical or narrative context and distinguish among:\n\nThe immediate roadmap includes:\n\nThe objective is not to use blockchain, AI or the metaverse as labels.\n\nThe objective is to build small, inspectable systems where people can distinguish what is implemented, what is measured, what is verified and what remains an idea.\n\nMyZubster continues to connect open-source development, circular-economy pilots, responsible AI and visual storytelling—one verifiable step at a time.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/danielioni/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals-31ao", "published_at": "2026-09-10 12:14:01+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-10 12:34:24.813535+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy", "artificial-intelligence", "ai-ethics", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["MyZubster", "Italy", "Base Sepolia", "Google", "GitHub", "LIFE"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-update-ai-strategy-blockchain-traceability-oauth-and-new-comic-visuals.jsonld"}}
