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.

Addressing Multiple Pain Points in the Web3 Computing Power Sector, APEX Vertex Creates a Closed Loop Between Physical Computing Power and On-Chain Token Value

Published

on

Computing power is the underlying foundation of the Web3 world, but most current computing power-related crypto projects suffer from significant shortcomings: highly centralized token distribution, with large amounts of tokens held by early teams and institutions easily causing secondary market sell-offs; projects only have on-chain concepts, lacking real mining farms and hardware assets, resulting in a lack of cash flow support; economic models lack protection against market downturns, making liquidity extremely vulnerable to collapse during bear markets; tokens rely solely on mining output, lacking real business consumption, leading most participants to engage with a short-term speculative mindset.

To address these industry pain points, APEX Vertex, leveraging the underlying infrastructure of the Turing public chain, has partnered with a German multinational digital technology asset management group holding EU MiCA qualifications, and collaborated with the DGK Paraguayan clean energy hydropower mining farm to build a complete computing power economy that integrates on-chain and off-chain elements. The institutional partners plan to invest tens of billions of dollars, providing support to the project from multiple dimensions, including compliance licenses, capital reserves, global mining farm industry channels, and cryptographic contract technology.

Blackhole mining is the core innovative mechanism of the APEX ecosystem. Unlike traditional mining that only produces tokens, blackhole mining encapsulates token production, fund allocation, blackhole burning, and risk protection within a single smart contract. Every user’s mining investment is automatically allocated in three stages by the contract: a portion goes into the DEX liquidity pool to directly purchase tokens, with the vast majority of these tokens permanently burned, continuously compressing the total circulating supply; a portion is allocated to the market capitalization reserve pool, automatically supporting the secondary market during market downturns; and the remaining portion is used to incentivize early ecosystem contributors. The total token supply is 21 million and will never be increased, eliminating unlimited inflation at its source.

The project is equipped with a comprehensive risk control mechanism: a six-tiered slippage system dynamically adjusts based on U-pool liquidity changes, with slippage profits pooled in the reserve pool; two risk trigger thresholds are set, automatically compressing computing power output when liquidity drops significantly, and triggering reserve fund buybacks in extreme market conditions to hedge against market sell-offs and subsequent crashes. Meanwhile, a 200% principal return exit mechanism is implemented to constrain overall ecosystem bubbles and prevent large investors from engaging in unlimited arbitrage.

In terms of application implementation, APEX has established twelve major ecosystem sectors, extending beyond mining. On-chain application for physical mining machine rights, AI computing power leasing and trading, computing power NFT minting and circulation, RWA computing power asset token issuance, privacy communication services, and computing power track project incubation are all settled using APEX tokens. The real cash flow generated by offline mining farms continuously supports the on-chain ecosystem, while on-chain tokens provide an outlet for asset securitization of physical computing power, forming a two-way cycle between on-chain and off-chain.

In terms of development path, the project is progressing in three phases: ecosystem foundation building, explosive expansion, and full-domain autonomy. It continues to expand clean energy computing power parks in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, increasing the physical computing power base; it is gradually upgrading the DAO governance system, delegating decision-making power for ecosystem iteration, fund allocation, and computing power expansion to all network nodes. APEX hopes to break free from the predicament of simply hyping up crypto projects and explore a feasible path for the Web3 transformation of physical computing power.
