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.

Ditch the Hassle: QuickBooks wins over AccountEdge every time

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 26th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, When choosing accounting software, many small businesses find themselves deciding between QuickBooks and AccountEdge. While both platforms offer valuable features, QuickBooks stands out as the superior choice for several important reasons. Its user-friendly interface, extensive integrations, and strong cloud capabilities make it a more versatile and scalable solution, especially for growing businesses.

QuickBooks is known for its intuitive design, which allows users—even those without a strong accounting background—to navigate and manage their finances with ease. AccountEdge, while feature-rich, often requires a steeper learning curve due to its more complex interface. This can slow down day-to-day operations and increase the need for external support or training.

Another key advantage of QuickBooks is its cloud-based functionality. QuickBooks Online allows users to access their financial data from anywhere, on any device, and collaborate in real time with accountants or team members. AccountEdge, by contrast, relies primarily on desktop software with optional cloud add-ons, which can limit accessibility and hinder remote work, an increasingly important factor for modern businesses.

QuickBooks also boasts a vast ecosystem of third-party app integrations, giving businesses the flexibility to connect their accounting system with payment processors, CRM tools, inventory management, and more. This seamless connectivity streamlines workflows and reduces manual data entry. While AccountEdge does offer integrations, its selection is more limited, which can restrict customization and growth potential.

QuickBooks regularly updates its software to comply with changing tax laws and improve functionality. This ongoing innovation ensures businesses stay current and benefit from the latest technology. AccountEdge updates tend to be less frequent and may lag behind in offering new features or compliance adjustments.

Overall, QuickBooks delivers a more flexible, accessible, and user-friendly experience that can grow with your business. For companies seeking an accounting solution that combines ease of use, powerful cloud access, and extensive integrations, QuickBooks is often the smarter choice over AccountEdge.

Unlocking Performance: Why QuickBooks File Optimization Matters

Published

on

Kingston,  26th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As businesses grow, so do their QuickBooks company files. What once started as a small, fast, and responsive file can eventually become sluggish, unstable, or even prone to errors. This is where QuickBooks file optimization services come in—offering a critical performance boost that helps keep your accounting system efficient, stable, and ready for growth.

Over time, your QuickBooks file accumulates data—old transactions, unused list items, and redundant entries. While this information might seem harmless, it can significantly slow down performance, increase load times, and lead to system crashes or data corruption. Large, bloated files can also make routine tasks like reporting, backups, and reconciliations unnecessarily time-consuming.

File optimization addresses these issues by cleaning and compressing your QuickBooks data without compromising accuracy or deleting important records. It involves a deep review of your file structure, removal of unnecessary data, re-indexing, and sometimes file repair. The goal is to reduce the file size, improve speed, and ensure the system runs more smoothly.

Unlike condensing, which removes historical transactions, true optimization preserves all of your data while enhancing performance. This is crucial for businesses that want to maintain a complete financial history for reporting or audit purposes but still need faster performance.

A properly optimized file can reduce crashes, shorten load times, and increase reliability—especially during peak usage or while running large reports. It also helps prevent data corruption, which is a serious risk when files become too large or unstable. In some cases, an optimized file can even extend the life of your current system, delaying the need for costly upgrades.

In addition to the technical benefits, QuickBooks file optimization gives business owners peace of mind. With fewer errors, faster access, and a more responsive system, teams can focus on running the business rather than troubleshooting software issues.

If your QuickBooks is running slowly, freezing, or showing signs of instability, file optimization may be the solution. It’s a simple step that can deliver significant results—restoring speed, stability, and confidence in your accounting system.
