Lumino Ceremony: Building the Privacy Protection Infrastructure

Published

on

PlatON, a privacy AI computing network which is committed to building a decentralized collaborative artificial intelligence network and global brain, is promoting the democratization of artificial intelligence and establishing a secure general artificial intelligence. The bottom layer of its decentralized privacy protection infrastructure is based on Zero-Knowledge Proof.

What is Zero-Knowledge Proof

Zero-Knowledge Proof is a cryptographic technology to realize privacy protection authentication. The prover needs to make the verifier believe that he knows or owns a message, without disclosing any information about message which is to be confirmed. For example, if the prover wants to prove that he knows the safe box password without revealing it, he can just show some items existing in the safe box that everyone knows.

This process is Zero-Knowledge Proof. The proof needs an initial credible setting (some items existing in the safe box that everyone knows), namely a series of public parameters to help the prover build Zero-Knowledge Proof.

Deficiency of Zero-Knowledge Proof

As a cryptographic technology with both privacy protection and authentication capability, zero-knowledge proof is widely used to realize transaction verification under hidden business details in blockchain. The zero-knowledge proof system applied in the blockchain field is mainly a cryptographic algorithm called “zk-SNARKs”. At present, the existing classic zk-SNARKs algorithms include  GGPR13, PGHR13, Groth16, GM17, and new generation algorithms such as Sonic, Marlin, Plonk, which support updating public parameters. The current version of ZCash, a well-known private cryptographic currency, uses Groth16 algorithm.

From the above “safe box”, we can see that the premise for the correct operation of this kind of algorithm is existing a series of random trusted parameters. However, randomized parameters will not come out of thin air and there is no trusted third party in the blockchain. Parameters created by centralized third parties can be reconstructed in theory, and it is possible to forge proofs, which may destroy the underlying security in PlatON. Imagine that if a specific institution informed the verifier of the storage of the items in the safe box, the institution and the prover could collude and use this secret information to falsify the illusion that the prover knew the safe box password.

Therefore, it is an undoubtedly excellent idea to organize multiple participants to create these randomized parameters through Secure Multi-party Computation. In this process, single party can not reconstruct the parameters any more. Only when this activity is completed safely will the subsequent decentralized application be safe. In fact, ZCash has successfully created system parameters for Groth16 algorithm in November 2017 through its ceremony, Power of Tau.

Lumino, creating secure parameters

In order to prevent the parameters generated by the centralized mode from affecting the underlying security, PlatON started the Secure Multi-party Computation ceremony Lumino on June 21, 2021, last for   60 days. This ceremony is expected to create necessary secure parameters for the Zero-Knowledge Proof protocol.

During the Lumino ceremony, multiple participants carry out several rounds of calculation in the form of a relay, that is to say, the current participant need to use the calculation results of the previous participant as the input of this round, and the calculation output become the calculation input of the next participant as well. After a certain number of rounds, the output of the last participant is the final result of the whole ceremony, namely the system initialization parameters that Plonk thatalgorithm of PlatON will choose. Obviously, the more participants take part in the ceremony, the safer the parameters will be.

As a practical and efficient Zero-Knowledge Proof algorithm, Plonk is commonly used in PlatON projects and communities, which is characterized by a one-time initialization process, that is, running once can be used to deploy multiple applications. Providing necessary initialization parameters for Plonk algorithm through Lumino ceremony means that no one can master the secret information behind the parameters, which can be used to cheat players in the whole system. Lumino ceremony will lay a solid foundation for the security of PlatON.

Debut Author Brings Comfort and Humor to Bedtime With The Monster Under My Bed

Published

on

Aaron Vaughn’s The Monster Under My Bed transforms nighttime worries into giggles, showing kids that fears can become friends.

New York, United States, 10th Nov 2025 – Aaron Vaughn is excited to announce the release of his debut book, The Monster Under My Bed, a heartwarming new Children’s Picture Book available now on Amazon. This delightful story takes a fresh and funny look at the age-old fear of monsters hiding under the bed. Instead of a scary creature, readers will meet a silly, pink-handed monster who surprises children with kindness, humor, and charm.

In The Monster Under My Bed, a young child believes that a monster is lurking in the shadows, waiting to nibble toes at night. But as the story unfolds in rhyming, playful verses, the monster is revealed to be more helpful than harmful. He snacks on socks, toys, and even frisbees, while tidying up messes like a secret midnight janitor. What starts as a story of fear transforms into one of laughter, discovery, and reassurance, making it an ideal bedtime read for families.

This Children’s Picture Book stands out from many others in its genre by flipping the typical “scary monster” tale upside down. Instead of reinforcing fear, Aaron Vaughn gives children a chance to laugh at what once scared them. With warm rhymes, colorful imagination, and humor at its heart, the book helps kids find courage while enjoying a fun story. It is especially perfect for readers ages 4 to 8, or for any child who feels uneasy about the dark.

Words from the Author, Aaron Vaughn 

“A monster under the bed has always been a childhood worry,” Aaron says, “but I wanted to show that sometimes what we think is scary might actually be something friendly. My goal was to create a story that makes kids giggle, feel safe, and even see bedtime as something to look forward to.”

The Children’s Picture Book also carries a meaningful personal connection for Aaron. As a debut author, he began telling stories to his own children years ago. After facing the heartbreaking loss of his wife and son to cancer, Aaron turned to writing as a way to process his grief and face his own “monsters” like sadness and anxiety. Through humor, rhyme, and imagination, he discovered a way to heal and to bring comfort to other families. The Monster Under My Bed is the result of that journey, an uplifting and playful reminder that light can be found even in the darkest times.

Aaron Vaughn is already working on additional projects. He has written or drafted over 10 more playful monster stories, along with pieces in fantasy, historical fiction, romance, and young adult literature. But this debut book will always hold a special place as the start of his author journey. His unique blend of humor and heart, combined with his personal story of resilience, makes him a fresh new voice in the world of Children’s Picture Books.

What makes this book so different is its playful spin on a common childhood fear. The monster is not frightening, he is fuzzy, pink, and helpful, turning what could be a scary tale into one full of laughter and relief. This twist, combined with engaging rhymes, ensures children and parents alike will look forward to reading it over and over. The book is both entertaining and comforting, making it an excellent bedtime companion.

Parents will also appreciate how The Monster Under My Bed opens conversations with their children about fear. Instead of dismissing a child’s worry, it allows them to reframe it with joy and humor. This is one reason the Children’s Picture Book resonates with families, teachers, and caregivers who want to provide reassurance while also sharing a delightful story.

Here’s a catchy summary:

Beware the monster under the bed, he’s not after your toes, just your toys! With fuzzy pink hands and a taste for socks, The Monster Under My Bed is a laugh-out-loud bedtime romp that turns nighttime fears into silly fun. It’s perfect for children who like their monsters friendly (and a little messy).

This Children’s Picture Book is available now for purchase. Families looking for a comforting, funny, and meaningful bedtime read will find The Monster Under My Bed a wonderful addition to their bookshelf. It is not just a story, it’s a hug in book form, meant to calm, comfort, and spark laughter at the end of the day.

Ebook Version:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTKXWMYJ/

United Network Redefines Self-Custody with a Next Gen Cold Wallet

Published

on

United Network Wallet at TOKEN2049 in Singapore might be the biggest crypto festival to date! As their team takes a moment to unwind and reflect, they are sharing some quick highlights from United Network’s journey at the event.

For more than a decade, crypto has promised financial freedom — but for most people, securely storing their digital assets still feels like a trap. Keep funds on a smartphone wallet, and one hack or malware attack can wipe everything out. Trust an exchange, and one risk’s waking up to headlines about bankruptcies or frozen withdrawals. They’ve all seen what can go wrong — from the dramatic FTX collapse to billions lost in exchange hacks each year.

In 2024 alone, over $2.2 billion worth of crypto was stolen, according to Chainalysis. The first half of 2025 already surpassed that figure, including what experts called the largest centralized exchange hack in history. If trends continue, global losses could exceed $4 billion in 2026. These numbers tell a clear story: centralized custody is not real ownership. When one’s crypto sits on an exchange, it’s not truly one’s — it’s just a number in someone else’s database.

The Hardware Wallet Dilemma: In theory, hardware wallets were designed to solve this — giving users full control of their keys. But let’s be honest: for many, setting up a traditional hardware wallet still feels like rocket science. Seed phrases, firmware updates, and confusing interfaces scare away regular users. Many investors who made millions in early Bitcoin days admit they have no idea how to safely manage or even access those funds today.

The result? People end up leaving their coins on exchanges “for convenience,” hoping for the best. But as they learned from FTX and countless hacks before and after it, convenience without control is an illusion.

United Network’s Approach: A Cold Wallet That Feels Familiar:

United Network is reimagining self-custody from the ground up — by making it as intuitive as tap-to-pay. Instead of clunky devices or cables, their hardware wallet takes the familiar form of a bank card. It’s a multichain, non-custodial cold wallet that supports native Bitcoin, Solana, EVM networks, Tron (TVM), and more.

To send, receive, or swap crypto, users simply tap the card on their smartphone, just like making a contactless payment. Behind that simplicity is serious cryptographic engineering: the private key is generated and stored only inside the card’s secure chip — and it never leaves.

According to co-founder Danylo Rumiantsev, “Each time you tap to sign a transaction, it’s verified directly by the chip — not through any server or backend. That means no data leaves your card, and no one else can access your funds.” The chip is the same kind used in certified banking systems, and communications between the phone and card are encrypted using the FIDO protocol for maximum protection.

Why Cold Wallets Matter More Than Ever

Cold wallets — meaning devices that keep private keys offline — have always been the safest way to store crypto. Unlike software wallets that can be compromised through malware or phishing, or exchanges that can collapse overnight, United Network’s Cold Wallet give’s one true ownership and sovereignty over one’s funds.

The FTX disaster was the wake-up call for millions. When the exchange froze customer withdrawals and later collapsed, billions in deposits vanished overnight. None of those users technically “owned” their crypto — the exchange did. With United Network’s approach, ownership finally means control — without needing to understand complex cryptography or hardware setup guides.

From Complexity to Simplicity: United Network’s co-founder, Danylo Rumiantsev isn’t a newcomer to hardware security. His previous work in secure product design taught them how hard it is to make security usable. When he turned his attention to blockchain, he saw the same problem: tools that promised safety but alienated normal users.

“We live in times where users want everything simple and transparent,” says Rumiantsev. “If crypto is to achieve mass adoption, people shouldn’t need to be experts to stay safe.” Watch Backstory of United Network Self Custody Cold Wallet on Video link here from Danylo Rumiantsev. That insight inspired the company’s guiding principle: combine security, self-custody, and accessibility into one elegant form factor. No cables. No apps to install. No backend servers to trust. Just a card — secure, portable, and as easy to use as one’s debit card.

A New Standard for Self-Custody United Network’s Cold Wallet isn’t just for individuals. The startup also offers white-label solutions for institutions and enterprises that want to provide secure, branded digital asset storage to their clients.

With its mix of simplicity, transparency, and independence, United Network may represent the next step in crypto’s evolution — one where security and usability finally meet.

The wallet is now available for worldwide shipping, with expanded network support and new user-friendly features planned for the coming months.

Because at the end of the day, crypto’s promise was never about speculation — it was about sovereignty. And sovereignty begins with self-custody.

The United Network Wallet is a hardware NFC wallet card that lets the one securely store his assets in full self-custody.
