Lumino Ceremony: Building the Privacy Protection Infrastructure
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.

Hydraulic Hose Failures Put Cost of Machinery Downtime in Focus
A failed hydraulic hose can bring valuable machinery to a standstill, prompting Completely Hydraulic to highlight the growing importance of mobile repair support across London and the South East.
Essex, United Kingdom, 9th Sep 2026 – For a construction company, warehouse operator or industrial business, the failure of a relatively small hydraulic hose can have consequences far greater than the cost of the component itself.

An excavator can stop digging. A loading machine can become unusable. Access equipment can be immobilised. Work can slow or stop while a business waits for the machinery to be repaired.
It is a problem Completely Hydraulic has been dealing with for more than two decades, and one that has helped shape the company’s mobile approach to hydraulic breakdowns across London and the South East.
Instead of automatically requiring failed hydraulic equipment to be transported to a workshop, the company sends hydraulic engineers directly to construction sites, warehouses, industrial premises and other locations where machinery has broken down.
Its emergency hydraulic hose repair operation is designed around a simple principle: when an essential machine has stopped working, taking the repair capability to the machine can be the most practical way of helping a customer get moving again.
Hydraulic hoses operate under demanding conditions and can fail through age-related deterioration, abrasion, damaged fittings, heat or excessive movement. Although a failed hose may appear to be a relatively straightforward component failure, its position within a hydraulic system means the effect on the machine can be immediate.
For businesses working to schedules, deadlines or production targets, the resulting downtime can quickly become more significant than the original repair.
Daren Partridge, spokesperson for Completely Hydraulic, said: “When a hydraulic hose fails, the hose itself is often only a small part of the customer’s problem. What really matters to them is that a machine has stopped, people may be waiting and a job isn’t getting done.
“That is why mobile hydraulic engineering is so important. If we can take an experienced engineer and the appropriate repair capability to the equipment, we have a much better opportunity to help the customer deal with the breakdown without unnecessary delay.”
Completely Hydraulic’s engineers can assess a hose failure at the customer’s location, identify the hose and fittings required and, where circumstances allow, manufacture and install a replacement hydraulic hose assembly.
The engineer can also consider what may have contributed to the failure. Abrasion against another component, unsuitable routing, deterioration or damage around fittings can sometimes provide useful clues as to why a hose has failed.
This wider engineering capability has become increasingly important as construction, industrial and logistics businesses continue to rely on hydraulically operated machinery.
Construction plant, excavators, cranes, piling equipment, access machinery, loading equipment and industrial systems are among the many applications where hydraulic failure can have an immediate operational impact.
Completely Hydraulic has been operating since 2004 and today supports customers through locations serving London, Essex, Kent and the Heathrow area, including operations in Dagenham, Harlow, Belvedere and Hayes.
The company’s mobile hydraulic engineering service is supported by its workshop and trade counter operations, allowing Completely Hydraulic to deal with requirements extending beyond an individual hose failure.
These include hydraulic hose assemblies, pumps, valves, manifolds, power packs, accumulators, diagnostics, oil filtration and flushing, preventative maintenance and hydraulic ram and cylinder repairs.
Partridge believes the value of an emergency hydraulic service ultimately comes down to understanding what a breakdown means to the customer.
“Nobody plans for a hose to fail in the middle of a working day,” he said. “The customer wants to know that there is somebody they can call who understands hydraulic equipment and can come to them.
“After more than 20 years in hydraulics, keeping machinery moving remains at the heart of what we do.”
With businesses across construction, transport, manufacturing, warehousing and infrastructure continuing to depend heavily on hydraulic equipment, Completely Hydraulic says mobile engineering will remain a central part of its operation throughout London and the South East.

Sergey Baburov and the Coffee Navigator team to attend International Coffee Week in Trieste
Kazakhstan, 8th Sep 2026 – Sergey Baburov and the team behind the Coffee Navigator analytics platform plan to attend TriestEspresso Expo 2026, which will take place in Trieste, Italy, on October 21–23. The team will focus on the development of private-label coffee production and its impact on local market structures.

Sergey Baburov and the Coffee Navigator team
TriestEspresso Expo is an international B2B trade show dedicated to espresso and the coffee industry. Exhibitors include green coffee suppliers, roasting companies, equipment manufacturers, packaging providers, and service companies.
In 2026, the organizers will introduce private label as a dedicated area for the first time under the name Custom Coffee Industry. The section is designed to bring manufacturers together with buyers from retail, hospitality and foodservice, distribution, and e-commerce.
For Coffee Navigator, this segment is of particular interest as an indicator of market development. The team plans to examine contract manufacturing models, minimum order quantities, opportunities for custom recipe development and packaging, as well as differences in requirements across retail, HoReCa, and e-commerce channels.
The main objectives of the visit are to:
- study cooperation models between brand owners and contract manufacturers;
- compare product and packaging requirements across different sales channels;
- assess how contract manufacturing can make it easier to launch new coffee brands;
- collect data for further analysis of local coffee markets.
“Private label is often seen simply as another product category. What interests us more is what sits behind it: how easy it is for a company to launch a new product, how much of the process is handled by the manufacturer, and what different sales channels expect from suppliers. These details can reveal a great deal about how a market is structured and how developed it is,” says Sergey Baburov, founder of Coffee Navigator.
The team plans to compare the data collected at the exhibition with the indicators Coffee Navigator already uses to assess local markets. Following the visit, the company will prepare an analytical summary on the development of private label in the coffee industry and its potential impact on the emergence of new brands and the level of market competition.

BMC Advances Prime Growth Strategy PGS in Nigeria Under Babajide David Awolowo
Blue Meridian Capital (BMC) is advancing the Prime Growth Strategy (PGS) framework in Nigeria, with the initiative entering its live-market execution phase on 8 September. Led by Babajide David Awolowo, the framework focuses on high-frequency quantitative trading, direct market access and disciplined intraday execution as part of a broader approach to structured capital-market participation.
Nigeria, 8th Sep 2026 – As global investors continue to assess opportunities across emerging African markets, attention is increasingly turning towards the role of quantitative infrastructure in improving execution discipline and market participation. In Nigeria, the latest development of the Prime Growth Strategy (PGS) is bringing this discussion into sharper focus.

Led by Babajide David Awolowo, the framework entered its live-market execution phase on 8 September. Its underlying approach combines high-frequency quantitative trading models with DMA-based execution, using predefined rules and data-driven processes rather than relying primarily on discretionary market judgement.
At the centre of the framework is the analysis of short-term pricing movements and order-book conditions. The system is designed to process market data at high speed, analyse short-term pricing conditions and support execution decisions within predefined parameters. Positions are structured around intraday activity, with the framework designed to avoid carrying positions overnight.
This approach reflects a broader shift within institutional trading towards automated execution, where technology, market data and risk parameters play an increasingly important role in determining how capital is deployed.
Structured capital leverage is also incorporated into the PGS framework to support capital efficiency. Rather than treating leverage as a standalone return mechanism, the model combines it with systematic hedging processes, predefined exposure limits and systematic risk controls intended to manage downside exposure during trading activity.
Awolowo’s recent work has focused on the strategic application of institutional quantitative methods to Nigerian market conditions, including how data-driven execution, risk frameworks and market-access technologies may support more structured participation.
The framework also places emphasis on full-depth order-book data and rapid execution capabilities. These tools are intended to help identify short-lived market imbalances that may be difficult to capture through conventional manual trading processes.
According to the project’s underlying approach, the objective is not to depend on directional market forecasts, but to create a more systematic process around data analysis, execution discipline and risk management.
As technology becomes increasingly embedded in capital-market infrastructure, frameworks such as PGS illustrate how quantitative methods may contribute to a more structured form of market participation. The development also reflects growing interest in how established institutional trading concepts can be adapted to the operational characteristics of emerging financial markets.
