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.

The UR-NX deployment introduces round-the-clock operations and a vehicle-specific maintenance model designed to support continuous fleet availability.
AUSTIN, Texas, Sep 23, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Autonomous mobility company Carziqo has expanded its presence in Austin with the launch of its UR-NX autonomous ride-hailing series, adding another vehicle platform to the company’s growing urban mobility network in the United States.
According to Carziqo, the UR-NX series will operate under a 24/7 schedule from Monday to Sunday, providing continuous service coverage across designated operating areas. The deployment is intended to support Austin’s varied transportation patterns, which include daily commuting, business travel, university-related activity, entertainment traffic and periods of increased demand associated with major events.
The launch reflects Carziqo’s broader strategy of combining autonomous vehicle technology with intelligent dispatching, digital fleet coordination and vehicle-specific maintenance management.
Responding to Austin’s Changing Transportation Needs
Austin’s continued population growth and expanding technology sector have contributed to increasingly complex urban mobility requirements. Travel demand can shift significantly between residential districts, commercial centers, university areas and entertainment corridors, creating a need for transportation services that can respond to different routes and service periods.
Carziqo said its fleet management platform will use operational information—including service-area demand, route conditions, travel distance and vehicle availability—to support the allocation of UR-NX vehicles.
Rather than assigning every vehicle to a fixed operating pattern, the company’s system is designed to coordinate deployment based on changing conditions. This approach is intended to improve fleet utilization, reduce unnecessary idle time and place vehicles where mobility demand is more likely to emerge.
The UR-NX series will complement Carziqo’s existing mobility activities in Austin, allowing the company to diversify vehicle deployment across routes with different operating characteristics.
Operating 24 Hours a Day, Seven Days a Week
A central feature of the UR-NX launch is Carziqo’s 24/7 Operations, Monday to Sunday model.
Continuous operations do not mean that individual vehicles will remain in service without interruption. Instead, Carziqo said each vehicle will be assigned its own maintenance window based on mileage, technical condition and operational requirements.
Under this model, vehicles requiring inspection, cleaning, preventive maintenance or software diagnostics can be temporarily removed from active service while other vehicles remain available.
This differs from a centralized maintenance approach in which an entire fleet may be taken offline during a common weekly service period. By scheduling maintenance on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, Carziqo aims to balance service continuity with routine fleet care.
The company said this structure will allow its broader Austin fleet to continue operating throughout the week while individual vehicles receive the attention required for responsible operation.
More Than an Autonomous Vehicle Deployment
While autonomous driving technology is the most visible part of the UR-NX series, the deployment also depends on the digital infrastructure supporting each vehicle.
Carziqo’s operating model includes fleet monitoring, vehicle allocation, service coordination, preventive maintenance planning and software diagnostics. Together, these systems are designed to help the company oversee vehicle availability and respond to operational changes without relying solely on fixed schedules.
As autonomous ride-hailing networks expand, this supporting infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. The performance of an autonomous fleet depends not only on how vehicles navigate roads, but also on how effectively they are dispatched, maintained and repositioned across a city.
For Carziqo, the Austin deployment provides an opportunity to refine these processes in a market shaped by both steady everyday travel and rapidly changing demand.
A Phased Approach to Expansion
Carziqo said the initial stage of the UR-NX rollout will focus on establishing stable operations, monitoring fleet performance and evaluating demand across designated service areas.
Operational information collected during this stage will help the company assess vehicle allocation, route efficiency and service availability. Additional vehicles or routes may be introduced later based on operating results and local transportation requirements.
The phased approach allows Carziqo to expand the service while continuing to evaluate how the UR-NX series performs under different traffic, distance and demand conditions.
The company has not positioned the launch as a one-time vehicle introduction. Instead, it describes the deployment as part of a wider effort to develop a connected autonomous mobility ecosystem supported by coordinated vehicles, intelligent dispatching and digital operating infrastructure.
Strengthening Carziqo’s U.S. Mobility Footprint
The UR-NX launch also adds to Carziqo’s wider development across U.S. markets. The company has been building mobility operations around multiple vehicle series, with deployments structured according to the requirements of individual cities and service areas.
Austin remains an important market within that strategy because of its combination of population growth, technology-sector activity and diverse transportation demand.
By adding the UR-NX series, Carziqo is expanding the range of vehicles available within its Austin network while testing how different vehicle configurations can be matched with particular routes and operating periods.
The company’s approach suggests that future growth will depend not only on adding more vehicles, but also on improving the systems that determine when, where and how those vehicles are deployed.
Building Toward a Connected Mobility Ecosystem
Carziqo operates across autonomous ride-hailing, intelligent fleet operations, autonomous delivery and connected mobility services. Its longer-term objective is to integrate these areas through a shared technology and operations platform.
The Austin UR-NX deployment represents another step in that direction. It combines a new autonomous ride-hailing vehicle series with continuous operations, individualized maintenance scheduling and data-supported fleet coordination.
As the service develops, Carziqo said it will continue reviewing operational performance and local demand before making further adjustments to its Austin network.
Service availability, operating areas and vehicle allocation may vary according to local demand, maintenance requirements and platform arrangements.
For Austin, the arrival of the UR-NX series adds another element to a transportation landscape that is increasingly shaped by automation, data and flexible mobility services. For Carziqo, it provides another city-level opportunity to demonstrate how autonomous vehicles can be supported by the operational systems required to keep a modern mobility network running.

Airwheel Wins European Product Design Award for AI Wheel Cabin 20 Inch Luxury Smart Scooter Carry on Hand Boarding Travel Electric Suitcase
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM — Recently, Airwheel’s SE3SX Smart Rideable Cabin Suitcase has been recognized in the 2026 European Product Design Awards (EPDA), highlighting the company’s approach to integrating electric mobility, intelligent control, and luggage design into a single travel-oriented product. Listed in the Personal / Luggage: Carryon Suitcase category, the SE3SX reflects a design strategy that moves beyond conventional suitcase architecture to explore how luggage can become an active part of the travel experience.
The official EPDA project description highlights the SE3SX’s integrated construction, which combines power, control, and storage systems within an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy structure. The design also incorporates a low center of gravity, app-based remote control, and intuitive rotatable handles, connecting structural design with short-distance mobility. This recognition adds to Airwheel’s international design profile and its continued development of intelligent mobility products.
Rather than treating a suitcase as a passive container, Airwheel approaches smart luggage as a combination of transportation interface, compact storage system, and connected consumer technology. The SE3SX represents this approach through a compact rideable platform designed for movement across airports, railway stations, exhibition venues, and other travel environments.
From Conventional Luggage to Intelligent Mobility
Traditional suitcases are designed primarily to store and transport belongings. Airwheel’s smart rideable suitcase concept extends that function by incorporating an electric drive system, rider controls, and an intelligent handle into the luggage platform.
The underlying design challenge is not simply to add a motor to a suitcase. It is to coordinate propulsion, balance, structural layout, user controls, and everyday luggage functionality within a compact product. For travelers, the result is intended to offer an additional mobility option during short-distance movement, particularly when navigating large terminals, connecting between transport facilities, or crossing expansive indoor and outdoor spaces.
The SE3SX was developed around this combination of mobility and travel utility. Its design brings together a rideable chassis, integrated storage, smart connectivity, and a compact form factor, allowing the product to function as both a cabin-oriented suitcase and a personal short-distance mobility device.
Integrated Structural Design and Intelligent Ride Control
The SE3SX combines its luggage body with an electric riding system, creating a unified product architecture rather than treating the mobility mechanism as a separate accessory. The official EPDA description emphasizes the integration of power, control, and storage, together with an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy construction and a minimalist structural appearance.
Under its riding configuration, the SE3SX uses a 230W brushless motor, a 5.2-inch motor-driven front wheel, and two 4-inch rear auxiliary wheels. Its electric telescopic front-wheel mechanism extends the wheelbase by 180 mm with a single touch, helping establish a more stable riding configuration. The product reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h, supports a maximum load of 95 kg, and is designed to handle inclines of approximately 6° under specified operating conditions.
The riding handle is designed to simplify the transition between riding and towing. Once extended, the handle locks into position automatically, reducing the need for repeated manual adjustments. This interaction is part of Airwheel’s broader design objective: making advanced mobility functions accessible through a familiar luggage form.
A Connected Interface Through the Airwheel App
The SE3SX extends its physical controls through a dedicated smart app, connecting the suitcase to a mobile device. The app provides access to selected riding and product-management functions, including riding speed information, battery status, cumulative mileage, speed-level adjustment, and lighting customization.
Users can also access functions such as telescopic control, low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection reminders, and remote-control features, depending on the applicable product configuration and software support.
This digital layer positions the suitcase as more than a self-propelled luggage platform. It provides an interface through which users can interact with product settings and monitor selected operating information, bringing connected-device functionality into a travel product.
For Airwheel, the objective is not to introduce technology for its own sake. The focus is on making controls more accessible, reducing unnecessary operational steps, and integrating digital functionality into a product people use during real journeys.
Apple Find My Integration for Luggage Location Assistance
The SE3SX supports integration with Apple Find My, offering users an additional way to locate and identify their suitcase through the Apple ecosystem.
For travelers, luggage tracking can be particularly useful in busy terminals, transportation hubs, and other environments where multiple bags may look similar. Apple Find My integration provides a location-assistance feature within a familiar digital environment, while proximity-based sound alerts can help users identify the suitcase when it is nearby and supported by the relevant functionality.
The feature complements, rather than replaces, responsible luggage handling and travel security practices. Its availability and specific capabilities depend on the Apple Find My ecosystem, device compatibility, and applicable operating conditions.
Compact Cabin-Oriented Design and Removable Battery
Designed as a 20-inch cabin-oriented smart rideable suitcase, the SE3SX measures approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm and offers a 20-liter storage capacity. Its construction combines ABS+PC materials with an aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame, while the suitcase weighs approximately 6.6 kg excluding the portable power bank.
The SE3SX is powered by a removable 73.26Wh lithium battery backed by multiple international certifications. Its detachable battery architecture is engineered to support applicable aviation transportation requirements, enabling the battery to be separated from the suitcase when necessary. By integrating certified battery technology with a removable design, Airwheel combines intelligent mobility with the practical demands of modern international travel.
The SE3SX also includes a TSA-compatible lock, supporting inspection procedures where applicable. Its compact dimensions, integrated riding system, and removable battery architecture reflect the challenge of balancing mobility, storage, portability, and transport considerations within a single product.
Extending the Travel Experience Through USB Connectivity
The SE3SX incorporates a USB output interface designed to support charging for compatible everyday electronic devices. This adds a practical connectivity function to the luggage platform, allowing users to access power for devices such as smartphones and other USB-compatible electronics when supported by the product’s power system.
The USB interface forms part of Airwheel’s wider product philosophy: useful technology should be integrated into the travel experience without making the product unnecessarily complex. Alongside the riding system, app connectivity, and luggage functionality, the charging interface contributes to a more connected approach to personal travel equipment.
Building a Broader Smart Rideable Suitcase Portfolio
The SE3SX is part of Airwheel’s broader smart rideable suitcase portfolio, which includes products designed for different travel requirements, user groups, and mobility scenarios.
The SE3SX Smart Carry on Rideable Cabin Suitcase combines a 20-liter cabin-oriented format with electric riding, app connectivity, Apple Find My integration, and an integrated luggage design. It is positioned within Airwheel’s premium smart travel product range.
The SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase introduces a next-generation automatic riding configuration, with one-touch deployment of its front wheel and riding handle. Its design explores more automated interaction between the user and the suitcase.
The SE3SL+ Airport Boarding Suitcase combines electric riding with app connectivity, USB charging, and location-tracking functionality, supporting users who frequently move through airports and other short-distance travel environments.
The SE3T AI Wheel Suitcase provides a larger-capacity format for users who require additional storage space during longer trips and family travel.
The SE3MiniT Electric Hand Suitcase focuses on a compact, lightweight format for short-distance mobility and everyday travel scenarios.
The SQ3S Kids Suitcase is designed for family travel, combining a rideable luggage format with speed-limiting features intended for children.
Together, these products demonstrate Airwheel’s effort to apply electric drive, intelligent control, and product-specific design approaches across different luggage formats. The portfolio is not built around a single type of traveler; it explores how smart mobility can be adapted to varying travel distances, storage requirements, and user needs.
Continued Investment in Intelligent Mobility Technologies
Airwheel’s development of smart rideable luggage forms part of a wider focus on intelligent mobility and human-machine interaction. The company’s technology areas include motion control algorithms, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and structural design.
With more than 600 global patents, Airwheel continues to develop products across smart mobility and connected travel categories. Its portfolio includes self-balancing vehicles, electric scooters, smart folding bikes, smart wheelchairs, and smart rideable suitcases.
The SE3SX illustrates this product-development direction through the combination of an electric propulsion system, integrated structural design, connected controls, and a compact luggage platform. Its recognition in the 2026 European Product Design Awards reflects the relevance of bringing these design and engineering considerations together within a consumer travel product.
As smart mobility technology continues to develop, Airwheel is exploring how intelligent functions can be incorporated into everyday products without losing sight of usability, portability, and practical travel requirements.
