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.

Viriora Integrates Conversational AI Into Its Platform, Giving Clients Scenario Analysis and Risk Modelling

Published

on

Panama City, Panama, July 20th, 2026, FinanceWire

Viriora, the multi-asset CFD and investment broker, has announced the integration of a conversational AI system directly into its trading platform, alongside a broader rollout of AI-powered chart analysis tools across its analytics department.

The developments represent a significant step in the firm’s long-term strategy to give clients the kind of analytical capability that has historically been reserved for institutional trading desks.

What the AI Does for Clients

The most visible change is one clients can interact with immediately. The platform now allows users to pose questions directly through a conversational interface and receive tailored responses covering scenario modelling, risk management parameters, and backward-looking performance analysis. A client considering a position can ask what a given investment size would have returned over the past twelve months and receive a structured answer rather than a raw data set.

The intention is not to replace client judgement or the role of their account manager. It is to give both parties a faster, cleaner basis for making decisions. Scenario analysis that once required a separate consultation can now happen in the moment, on the platform, with the client actively involved in the process.

Behind the Platform, a More Accurate Analytics Department

The second strand of the rollout is less visible to clients but arguably more consequential over time. Viriora’s analytics department is now using AI-powered algorithmic tools to work through market chart data at a scale and consistency that would not have been practical manually.

The result is a more reliable foundation for portfolio construction. Investment recommendations coming out of the department are built on pattern recognition across a broader data set, reducing the influence of individual blind spots and improving the overall quality of the analysis that reaches clients.

Account managers Konrad Schneider and Tom Berger, two of the firm’s most established portfolio specialists, have already demonstrated what that combination of human expertise and sharper analytical tools can produce. Both have built portfolios this year that have outperformed client expectations, and both have spoken about the change in how they can work with data since the tools were introduced.

“The analysis is sharper and it takes less time to get there,” said Konrad Schneider, PR Responsable. “That gives us more time to spend with clients on the decisions themselves, which is where the real value is.”

A New Chapter with Viriora

The company offers access to CFD products and investment portfolio services across multiple asset classes.

The timing of this rollout reflects a broader shift in how regulated brokers are approaching the question of client value. Compliance and execution have long been the floor. The firms that are growing are the ones investing in the analytical layer above that floor, in the tools and the people that help clients make better decisions with the access they already have.

Viriora’s position is that AI is most useful not as a replacement for the human layer but as an amplifier of it. The platform handles the data. The account manager handles the relationship. The client, better informed than before, makes the call.
