Press Release
Five Highlights of the AOS 2.0 Development Plan
As the world’s strongest privacy blockchain, every move of AOS privacy public chain has attracted industry attention. Today, AOS (Anonymous Operating System) officially released the version 2.0 development plan. In the new released development plan, a number of industry hotspots and innovative technology concepts have emerged, involving cross-chain, cryptography computation, new finance, smart asset protocol and other fields.
The release of AOS 2.0 brings the development direction of AOS to a higher level. We have made a comprehensive interpretation based on the specific contents of the release.
New Consensus Mechanism DPOS+POE
In the existing version, AOS mainly adopts the consensus mechanism of DPOS+PBFT, and version 2.0 will use the brand new DPOS+POE (Proof of Encryption) instead of the existing consensus mechanism. POE refers to cryptography computation.
We can generally understand that DPOS+POE is a two-layer network design. As we all know, AOS previously supported both smart contracts and privacy functions. In the new version, in order to continue to improve the efficiency of smart contracts and the overall performance of the network, the development team deliberately divested the encrypted computing business to miner computing, that is to say, POE Part of it is realized by encrypted computing miner. Miners involved in encryption calculations can also mine AOS. The latest cryptography computation services such as zero-knowledge proof, post quantum cryptography, and homomorphic encryption are all completed by the miners. The realization of the POE solution will lay the foundation for AOS to create a new financial ecosystem.
Privacy Protection Upgraded
In the new version, the AOS privacy technology solution will be upgraded to: with the combination of “ring signature + homomorphic encryption + zero-knowledge proof”, the upgraded AOS2.0 will not only support smart contracts, but also improve ease of use, anonymity, efficiency and many other aspects surpass all current privacy projects. So far, the privacy of AOS has realized the complete anonymity and untraceability of the sender to the receiver, the sent amount and the received amount.
Smart Asset Protocol
Defi and privacy Defi have been well developed in the previous version of AOS. After the implementation of the DPOS+POE mechanism, based on the advantages of cryptography computation, AOS will launch the Smart Asset Protocol, so that AOS can not only support Defi, also support traditional finance such as Cefi. Various financial institutions can implement smart contracts for large-scale financial applications on AOS, and AOS will support different types of financial assets, making AOS a hub for storing global asset data and a blockchain ledger for large-scale commercial applications.
MDAO Cross-chain Architecture
Cross-chain technology has become a new trend in the development of blockchain technology. AOS uses the ZK-ROllup solution to implement MDAO (Multiple decentralized autonomous organization) cross-chain architecture and establish data and value exchange between AOS and other blockchain ecosystems. Build AOS into a data and value hub for the blockchain financial smart contract ecosystem.
After it is launched, crypto assets such as the privacy version of BTC, ETH, USDT will be anchored and issued on the AOS public chain, and can be freely exchanged. For example, the privacy version USDT issued by the AOS public chain can be freely exchanged with current ERC20-USDT or TRC20-USDT.
New Financial Facilities Compatible with Privacy and Compliance
The original intention of blockchain creation is to realize a decentralized value system, not to become a hotbed of criminals. Similarly, the starting point of blockchain privacy technology is to protect personal privacy from infringement, rather than to provide tools for various crimes. Today, institutions including Grayscale Fund, are advocating privacy and anonymity to fight censorship, while AOS has to go the other way and provide new supervisable financial facilities.
AOS completely breaks the deadlock of “privacy requirements-regulatory/transparency requirements”, and breaks the curse that restricts the development of blockchain open finance. Without privacy protection, financial services cannot be scaled up in the blockchain world. Embracing supervision and transparency, and supporting fraud prevention are also the primary prerequisites for the scale of financial business in the blockchain world. Through AOS technical solutions, the explosive development of blockchain open finance in the AOS ecosystem has become possible.

TramutoPorter Foundation Honors Maine Gov. Janet Mills as Compassionate Leader of the Year; Celebrates New Endowment Partners at 25th Anniversary Gala
-
Foundation raises more than $500,000 to support compassionate leadership programs and announces expanded scholarship commitment beginning in 2027
OGUNQUIT, Maine, Aug 01, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The TramutoPorter Foundation celebrated its 25th Anniversary Gala on July 30 at Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine, honoring Maine Gov. Janet Mills as its 2026 Compassionate Leader of the Year and announcing a new chapter of multimillion-dollar endowment commitments supporting compassionate leadership across education, hearing equity, health and human rights.
Left to right: Jeff Porter, co-founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation; Donato J. Tramuto, co-founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation; and Maine Gov. Janet Mills at the TramutoPorter Foundation’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on July 30, 2026, at Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine.
The milestone evening also marked the 70th birthday of co-founder Donato J. Tramuto and brought together more than 200 partners, scholars, community leaders, board members and supporters to celebrate the Foundation’s 25 years of impact and its next chapter of service.
“As we commemorate 25 years of the TramutoPorter Foundation, I am reminded that compassion is far more than a noble aspiration. It is a force that lifts individuals, strengthens communities and helps shape a more just world,” said Tramuto. “This anniversary marks not a conclusion, but a renewed commitment. My hope is that these endowments will allow compassionate leadership to flourish long after we are gone, touching lives we will never meet. I can think of no more meaningful way to honor this milestone, or my 70th birthday, than by investing in a future built on kindness.”
The event raised more than $500,000 to support TramutoPorter Foundation programs, including proceeds from a live auction benefiting the Foundation’s work. The celebration was chaired by Joanne Bean, TramutoPorter Foundation board member and CEO of Camp Sunshine.
“It was an honor to chair this historic 25th Anniversary Gala at Camp Sunshine and celebrate a mission that has touched thousands of lives,” said Bean. “This evening brought together the people, partners and purpose that have defined the Foundation for 25 years. It was a celebration of Donato and Jeff’s vision and of the extraordinary work still ahead.”
Gov. Janet Mills Honored for Compassionate Leadership
Mills received the Foundation’s 2026 Compassionate Leader of the Year Award in recognition of her leadership and longstanding commitment to the people and communities of Maine, including individuals and families too often marginalized or left behind.
The evening also included the surprise presentation of a portrait of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy by internationally acclaimed photographer Harry Benson, reflecting Kennedy’s enduring legacy of compassionate leadership, justice and human rights. x
“I am touched to be receiving the Compassionate Leadership Award in recognition of what my administration has tried to accomplish in such very trying times. And I am honored that, as part of this award, the TramutoPorter Foundation will be making a contribution to Camp Sunshine and to the Percival P. Baxter Foundation for scholarships for deaf and hard of hearing students, a cause that I know is close to Donato’s heart. Tonight we also reflect on the work of the TramutoPorter Foundation, which has advanced the education of more than 100 young adults and which has strengthened organizations, including Camp Sunshine, that are making this world a fairer, more equitable place for our children and families. We also recognize Donato’s philanthropy and advocacy to broaden healthcare access around the world,” said Mills.

Building a Permanent Legacy
To mark the Foundation’s 25th anniversary and his 70th birthday, Tramuto announced a multimillion-dollar philanthropic commitment to establish and expand perpetual endowments supporting compassionate leadership across education, hearing equity, health and human rights, with eight organizations.
Education has been central to the Foundation’s mission throughout its 25-year history. The Foundation has supported students through scholarships and educational opportunities in Maine, across the United States and internationally.
Beginning in 2027, the Foundation will expand its annual high school scholarship commitment to one four-year, $30,000 Compassionate Leadership Scholarship in memory of Mary Kelleher (former TramutoPorter Foundation Board member), deepening its investment in a student whose life, leadership and service reflects the Foundation’s mission.
Looking Ahead: Defiant Hope
Following the anniversary celebration, the Foundation’s next major initiative will be its annual Compassionate Leadership Educational Series, beginning Sept. 11. This year’s theme, “Defiant Hope,” will examine how individuals can use their voices, positions, platforms and lived experiences to advance compassion in service of a more just and equitable future.
For the TramutoPorter Foundation, defiant hope reflects a central belief of compassionate leadership: Hope is not passive. It requires action, courage and a willingness to stand firmly for human dignity, especially in moments of division, injustice or uncertainty. The educational series will carry that message forward through programming focused on leadership, equity, service and social impact.
About the TramutoPorter Foundation
Founded in 2001 following the tragic events of Sept. 11, the Maine-based TramutoPorter Foundation has spent 25 years advancing a more compassionate world by expanding access to education, supporting emerging leaders, advancing health and hearing equity, protecting human rights and uplifting individuals and communities too often overlooked or left behind.
Through scholarships, leadership programs, global health initiatives and partnerships with mission-driven organizations, the Foundation has impacted thousands of lives across the United States and around the world.

Press Release
European Cybersecurity Firm ISGroup Shows What AI-Powered Attackers Can Find – and Why Europe Must Build This Capability at Home
1.24 billion tokens. 12,000 model requests. 29 confirmed vulnerabilities in software already hardened by a decade of independent audits. A landmark European study on LLM-driven vulnerability research – and a case for European digital sovereignty in security.
Italy, 31st Jul 2026 – As Europe pushes for strategic autonomy in critical technologies, a European cybersecurity firm has just demonstrated what that autonomy looks like in practice. ISGroup, an offensive-security company based in Italy and serving organisations across Europe, has published “What Can an Attacker Find With an LLM?” – one of the most extensive public studies to date on using frontier AI models to identify software vulnerabilities, conducted entirely with European expertise and rigorous, transparent methodology.
The message to European boardrooms and institutions is direct: attackers are already exploring AI-assisted vulnerability discovery. Europe cannot afford to depend exclusively on overseas providers to understand – and defend against – this shift. Sovereignty in cybersecurity means having this capability within Europe, accountable to European organisations and aligned with European regulatory frameworks.
To prove the point, ISGroup chose a demanding target: GlobaLeaks, the open-source whistleblowing platform used by newsrooms, companies, and public administrations across Europe and beyond to protect sources – software refined over more than a decade and already reviewed through multiple independent security audits. Using frontier models, ISGroup processed approximately 1.24 billion tokens across 12,000 model requests, generating 110 candidate findings. Every candidate was manually triaged by ISGroup’s researchers, with reproduction, impact assessment, and final classification remaining firmly in expert human hands.
The result: 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations, all responsibly disclosed and the most critical already fixed – a concrete contribution to the resilience of software that protects whistleblowers, a value enshrined in European law through the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
The study also delivers what European decision-makers need most: transparency on real costs, a documented methodology – threat model, taxonomy of weakness classes, strict evidence requirements – and an honest account of the limitations: false positives, non-deterministic results, and the indispensable role of expert validation.
For European organisations, the implications are immediate. Continuous, repository-wide security review – once the preserve of large budgets and weeks of specialist effort – is now within reach for companies of every size and sector. From regulated industries facing NIS2 and DORA obligations to software vendors preparing for the Cyber Resilience Act, ISGroup’s research-driven approach is designed to serve the full spectrum of European enterprises and institutions.
“Artificial intelligence does not replace specialist expertise, but it increases the amount of code a team can analyse and reduces the cost of doing so,” said Francesco Ongaro, founder of ISGroup. “Experts still have the decisive role of distinguishing a plausible hypothesis from a real vulnerability.”
With this publication, ISGroup positions itself as a reference point for AI-assisted offensive security in Europe – proof that world-class security research does not need to be imported.
The full report, including methodology, costs, and complete results, is available at: https://www.isgroup.biz/en/cyber-security/llm-based-code-security-review-costs-findings-methodology.html
About ISGroup: ISGroup is a European cybersecurity company based in Italy, specialising in offensive security, penetration testing, and security research. ISGroup supports European enterprises, institutions, and software vendors of all sizes in securing critical software and infrastructure, with a research-driven approach rooted in European values of transparency and accountability.
