Federated Gradient Aggregation

Algorithm

Federated Gradient Aggregation (FGA) represents a distributed machine learning technique adapted for environments where data privacy is paramount, particularly relevant in cryptocurrency and derivatives markets. It enables collaborative model training across multiple parties—such as exchanges, brokers, or even individual traders—without directly sharing their sensitive datasets. The core process involves each participant locally computing gradients based on their private data, subsequently transmitting only these aggregated gradients to a central server for averaging, thereby preserving data confidentiality. This approach is increasingly explored for tasks like price prediction, risk assessment, and anomaly detection within decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems.
