Lumino Ceremony: Building the Privacy Protection Infrastructure

Published

4 years ago

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.

December 12, 2025

By

Street lamps are wrapped in gold foil, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The most touching aspects of December are perhaps these softly glowing everyday moments—and every seasonal wardrobe should include a red plaid flannel shirt steeped in memories.It evokes images of wool blankets stacked by the fireplace, smoke rising from a cabin after a snowfall, and the broad-shouldered silhouette of a father decorating the Christmas tree in an old shirt. The classic red plaid pattern seems to carry the warmth and sounds of the holidays, instantly transporting one back to those American holiday scenes filled with love.

American festive attire doesn’t have to be expensive.

When it comes to the origins of red plaid shirts, Filson is undoubtedly a pioneering representative. But classic style is never exclusive to high prices. Today, COOFANDY weaves this American festive spirit into a plush, affordably priced flannel shirt. The classic red-and-black plaid, crafted from a cotton blend, retains a touch of rugged texture while being gentle on the skin. You can casually roll up the sleeves to wrap gifts under the Christmas tree or layer it under a thick coat on a chilly morning, letting the plaid collar peek out subtly.Natural styling scenarios emerge effortlessly: pair it with straight-leg jeans and a pair of well-worn work boots, as if you’ve just returned from a winter walk in the woods; or tuck a pinecone or eucalyptus leaf into the shirt pocket to instantly brighten up your outfit. It captures the winter wardrobe vibes from Friends episodes and resembles the relaxed, familiar looks found in every American family’s Christmas photo album.

Layering Adds Depth to Festive Style

For a touch of scholarly refinement, try layering a diamond-patterned knit vest over the shirt. This classic Ivy League look features a V-neck that perfectly reveals the plaid collar and hem, adding both layers and a sense of festive ritual—as if you’re ready to unwrap gifts, sing carols, and share a toast with long-lost family members.

This Christmas, Dress in Classic Style, Warm a Season of Hearts
The resurgence of American outdoor traditions isn’t just about trends; it’s about how these timeless pieces resonate with everyday life, especially during seasons like Christmas that call for warmth and ritual. A simple red plaid shirt can accompany you while baking gingerbread cookies, decorating the Christmas tree, or cozying up on the couch to watch old movies.

There’s no need to chase after expensive heritage brands; affordability can still deliver classic American festive vibes. COOFANDY’s Red Plaid Series has prepared your entire holiday wardrobe. Special Christmas discounts are underway, with select styles up to 50% off. Treat yourself to some warmth or choose a thoughtful gift for someone special.Welcome to the COOFANDY flagship store or Amazon shop to take home your Christmas warmth.

Stratnova Capital Surpasses 60 Million Pounds in Secured Fixed Income Assets

Published

on

December 12, 2025

By

Stratnova Capital Ltd, a global investment firm operating under a fully regulated UK framework, today announced that it has surpassed £60 million in secured fixed income assets following a series of targeted acquisitions executed through secondary market transactions. The milestone reflects the firm’s disciplined allocation strategy and growing access to institutional-grade fixed income opportunities.

Stratnova Capital Surpasses 60 Million Pounds in Secured Fixed Income Assets

Since its establishment in 2016, Stratnova Capital has focused on building a scalable investment platform designed to provide investors with access to professionally structured fixed income instruments. The firm’s recent growth has been driven by heightened market activity in the secondary bond market, where institutional rebalancing has created selective entry points across high-grade and high-yield fixed income securities.

Strategic Secondary Market Execution

The recent expansion beyond the £60 million threshold was achieved through carefully timed secondary market transactions, allowing Stratnova Capital to secure allocations in established fixed income instruments that were previously held by institutional counterparties. These transactions were executed during periods of market repricing, enabling efficient entry while maintaining strict internal risk parameters.

Secondary market activity has become an increasingly important source of opportunity, particularly as banks, funds, and large institutions adjust balance sheets in response to evolving macroeconomic conditions. Stratnova Capital’s execution-only capabilities and institutional market access have positioned the firm to participate in these transactions with speed and precision.

Focus on Capital Stability and Yield Management

Stratnova Capital’s fixed income strategy prioritises capital stability, predictable income generation, and diversified exposure across issuers, maturities, and credit profiles. The firm’s secured assets include a combination of bank-issued bonds, sovereign-linked instruments, and high-grade fixed income securities, structured to balance yield optimisation with long-term capital preservation.

This disciplined approach has resonated with investors seeking regulated exposure to fixed income markets amid ongoing volatility across global equities and alternative asset classes.

Regulated Infrastructure Supporting Growth

A key factor supporting the firm’s continued expansion is its FCA-regulated UK investment framework, which enables Stratnova Capital to operate within a robust compliance and governance structure. This framework supports the handling of client money, investment facilitation, and access to UK and European capital markets in line with regulatory requirements.

The regulated platform reinforces investor confidence while enabling Stratnova Capital to scale responsibly as demand for fixed income solutions continues to rise.

Institutional-Grade Banking and Settlement Capabilities

To support its growing asset base, Stratnova Capital has integrated advanced banking and payment infrastructure designed to meet institutional standards. This infrastructure enables efficient settlement, transparent cash management, and secure fund flows across multiple jurisdictions.

The firm’s operational model is built to support both domestic and cross-border investment activity, ensuring resilience and scalability as assets under management continue to grow.

Growing International Investor Participation

Investor participation from Europe and Asia has contributed significantly to the firm’s recent growth. Demand has been particularly strong among investors seeking access to fixed income opportunities that benefit from institutional sourcing, structured execution, and professional oversight.

By leveraging its global market relationships and execution capabilities, Stratnova Capital continues to broaden access to investment opportunities traditionally reserved for larger market participants.

Looking Ahead

As it moves beyond the £60 million milestone, Stratnova Capital remains focused on expanding its fixed income platform through selective secondary market participation, continued regulatory alignment, and disciplined risk management. The firm plans to further strengthen its market presence while maintaining a conservative approach to asset selection and portfolio construction.

Stratnova Capital’s long-term strategy centres on sustainable growth, transparent operations, and continued access to global fixed income markets under a regulated investment framework.
