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.

Bloger.fm Organises Daily AI Announcements by Company and Product
Bloger.fm, an independent daily AI briefing, files public AI announcements under the organisations and products they concern, so readers can follow one company or scan the whole field in minutes through daily briefings and entity pages.
United States, 5th Oct 2026, Grand Newswire – SAN FRANCISCO, October 4, 2026 — Bloger.fm is a daily AI briefing that groups each day’s announcements by the companies and products behind them. The independent publication reads a monitored feed of public AI announcements, including model releases, product launches and research, and files each item under the organisation and product it concerns. A day’s news reads as a set of company briefings rather than one long timeline, so readers can find what changed at the companies they follow in minutes.
“AI news arrives as a stream, but readers think in companies,” said Andy, founder of Bloger.fm. “We file every day by organisation and product, so you can follow one company closely or scan the whole field in a single sitting.”
One Match, Two Ways to Read
Bloger.fm matches each item against a hand-maintained dictionary of organisations, products and standards. The same match builds both of its views. A daily briefing groups one day’s items into company sections, and an entity page for every tracked organisation, product or standard collects everything recorded about it across a rolling coverage window.
A reader who follows a single company, such as OpenAI or Google, can start from its entity page. A reader who wants the whole field can open a day’s briefing. Entity pages link to official channels, and an RSS feed is available for those who prefer to read in their own reader.
Items keep their original wording, and the briefing is organised by the site’s published editorial policy, which covers how items are matched, ordered and corrected.
Independent by Design
Bloger.fm carries no advertising and takes no sponsorship. It has no commercial relationship with any company it covers, and no company can influence what appears in a briefing or how it is ordered. Briefings are published under the Bloger.fm Editorial Desk.
About Bloger.fm
Bloger.fm is an independent daily briefing on artificial intelligence. It reads a monitored feed of public AI announcements and files each item under the organisation and product it concerns, so a day’s news reads as a set of company briefings rather than a chronological feed.

STARCARES Equips Seven Foster Homes for Children and Young People in Tanzania
Moshi, Tanzania, October 5th, 2026, FinanceWire
The initiative with Kijana Kwanza furnishes seven family-style homes for up to 250 beneficiaries in Tanzania.
STARCARES, the CSR initiative of STARTRADER, has partnered with Kijana Kwanza in Tanzania to equip seven new foster homes for up to 250 beneficiaries. By turning newly built housing into safe, functional homes, the initiative supports the stability children need to continue their education and move towards greater independence.
STARCARES has provided beds, mattresses, bedding, wardrobes, cooking stoves, dining tables and chairs, enabling the homes to function from day one. The support forms part of its Where Tomorrow STARs Begin programme, focused on education, youth development and long-term opportunity.
Kijana Kwanza, meaning “Young People First,” is a Moshi-based NGO providing holistic care for 250 beneficiaries aged 5–22 through education, vocational training, life skills, shelter and community programmes, with its wider programme of services reaching over 23,000 people
“STARCARES is helping us turn these new houses into real homes. Their support provides the everyday essentials our children need to live with dignity, stability and care from the moment they move in.” — Mujibu Idrisa Abeid, CEO, Kijana Kwanza
For many of the children supported by Kijana Kwanza, a secure home is the foundation for staying in education, building practical skills, growing in confidence and progressing towards independence.
“What matters most is giving young people the stability to feel safe today and the confidence to imagine a different tomorrow. That is the value we want STARCARES to create: support that strengthens lives and opens opportunities for the future.”— Muhammed Padhani, CCO of STARTRADER
The Tanzania initiative builds on STARCARES’ work in Nigeria, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, reaching more communities where young people need safer spaces, greater care and stronger opportunities.
Guided by its principle, “Bringing STAR, Delivering CARE,” STARCARES continues expanding its reach where support is needed most, turning essential needs into stronger foundations for young people to live, learn and move forward with confidence.
