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.

Way.com Helps Drivers Find Auto Repair Near Me and Local Car Repair Services

Published

on

United States, 1st Oct 2026 — Way.com is making it easier for drivers to find local automotive services by helping consumers discover auto repair near me, nearby repair shops, and car care services based on their location.

When a vehicle needs maintenance or repair, many drivers begin with a local search. Phrases such as “auto repair near me,” “car repair near me,” and “mechanic near me” have become common ways for consumers to find automotive services close to home, work, or their current location.

Way.com helps drivers explore local auto repair options online, providing access to information about nearby service providers, available automotive services, locations, and booking options.

Making Auto Repair Near Me Easier to Find

Finding a reliable repair shop can be time-consuming, particularly for drivers who do not already have a mechanic they regularly use. A local search can return numerous options, leaving consumers to determine which businesses offer the services they need and are conveniently located.

Way.com helps simplify this initial search by making it easier for drivers to discover auto repair shops near me and explore available local service providers.

Drivers can search for automotive services in their area and review information about individual locations before deciding where to take their vehicle. Depending on the provider, listings may include location details, available services, operating hours, customer ratings, reviews, and appointment information.

This location-focused approach gives drivers a convenient starting point when searching for car repair near me.

Connecting Drivers With Local Car Repair Services

Automotive service needs can vary from routine maintenance to more immediate repairs. Drivers may be looking for an oil change, tire service, brake repair, inspection, fluid service, engine work, or other vehicle maintenance.

Way.com provides access to automotive service providers offering different types of vehicle care, depending on location and provider availability.

For consumers searching for car repair shops near me, being able to explore local providers and the services they offer can make it easier to identify potential options without contacting multiple businesses individually.

Location also plays an important role in automotive service decisions. Drivers may prefer a repair shop close to home, near their workplace, or within a convenient distance from where they are traveling.

Helping Drivers Search by Location

The phrase “near me” reflects a straightforward need: finding a service provider that is accessible from the driver’s location.

Way.com’s location-based auto repair pages are designed to help consumers discover automotive services in specific areas. Drivers can explore repair providers according to location and review the information available for each business.

This can be useful for both planned maintenance and unexpected vehicle needs.

Someone searching for auto repair near me may be looking for a routine service, while another driver may need a nearby shop for a specific repair. By providing location-specific information, Way.com helps make the search process more focused.

Finding Auto Repair Services in Your Area

Local search can be particularly useful when drivers are unfamiliar with an area or need to find a service provider outside their usual neighborhood.

A driver traveling to another city, moving to a new area, or simply looking for a different repair shop can search for terms such as auto repair in [city], car repair in [city], or mechanic near me to begin exploring available services.

Way.com’s location pages provide a way for consumers to discover automotive service providers across different areas and review available information before contacting or booking a service.

The approach is intended to make local automotive service discovery more convenient while giving drivers more information at the beginning of their search.

From Local Search to Car Care

Finding a nearby repair shop is often the first step in managing vehicle maintenance. Once drivers identify a location that fits their needs, they can review the services available and, where supported, arrange an appointment online.

This creates a more convenient path from searching for auto repair near me to taking action on a vehicle’s maintenance or repair needs.

For drivers looking for an oil change, tire service, brake work, general maintenance, or other automotive services, having local options available online can make it easier to determine where to go next.

Expanding Access to Local Auto Repair

As consumers increasingly turn to online search when looking for local services, automotive care is becoming part of the same behavior.

Way.com is helping drivers discover local auto repair services by providing location-based information that makes it easier to search for nearby automotive providers.

Whether someone is looking for auto repair near me, car repair near me, auto repair shops near me, or a specific automotive service in their city, Way.com provides a digital starting point for finding local options.

Drivers can explore local automotive services through Way.com Auto Repair.

Published

on

MiniCabRide highlights its pre-booked private hire services across London and the UK, offering airport, station, seaport, local and long-distance transfers with fixed fares, flight monitoring, flexible vehicle options and 24/7 customer support.

London, United Kingdom, 1st Oct 2026 – MiniCabRide is a private hire and minicab company which operates in London. The company highlights its full range of pre-booked transport services, designed to offer passengers convenient, fixed-price, reliable travel throughout London and the rest of the UK.

MiniCabRide Announces Comprehensive Private Hire and Airport Transfer Services Across London and the UK

MiniCabRide Limited, set up in 2020, is an active UK private limited company with its registered office in London and operates in the taxi and private hire industry. It offers airport, station, seaport, local, and long-distance transfers, with a particular focus on pre-booked trips for tourists who want to organise their transportation before travelling.

The company’s services include major London airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City, and Southend, as well as transfers to UK seaports, railway stations, hotels, homes, offices, and other destinations. MiniCabRide states that its service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year so that customers can use pre-booked transport for early-morning flights, late-night arrivals, business trips, holidays, and other important journeys.

Fixed-Price Airport Transfers Designed Around Travellers

Airport transportation remains one of MiniCabRide’s key services. The company provides pre-booked transfers to and from London’s major airports, and customers can arrange their journey online and receive booking confirmation.

A key feature MiniCabRide promotes is its fixed-price approach, which lets customers know the quoted cost of their journey before travelling. The company also states that it does not use surge pricing for its fixed-price journeys.

For passengers arriving in London, MiniCabRide provides flight monitoring as part of its airport transfer service. This allows the booking team and driver to track flight information and account for changes to the expected arrival time. The company also offers airport waiting time, with its website currently stating that up to 45 minutes of waiting time is included at airports.

For travellers carrying several suitcases, travelling with children or arriving as a group, vehicle selection is another important consideration. MiniCabRide says its fleet includes standard cars, executive vehicles, MPVs, and larger passenger vehicles suited to different passenger and luggage needs.

Beyond Airport Transfers

While airport journeys are a major part of the company’s offering, MiniCabRide also provides transportation for a wider range of travel requirements.

Its services include:

  • Airport transfers
  • Train and station transfers
  • Seaport and cruise port transfers
  • Local London journeys
  • Long-distance UK transfers
  • Hotel transfers
  • Business travel
  • Family and group transportation
  • Executive and premium journeys
  • Multi-stop journeys

The company promotes transfers to major UK cruise ports, including Southampton, Portsmouth, Dover, Harwich, and Tilbury, making the service relevant to passengers combining flights, hotels, and cruise departures within the same itinerary.

Supporting Business and Leisure Travel

MiniCabRide’s services are designed for both individual travellers and organisations arranging transportation for customers, employees or guests.

For business travellers, a pre-booked private hire vehicle can provide direct transportation between airports, offices, hotels and meeting locations. For families and leisure travellers, private hire can reduce the need to navigate public transport while carrying luggage or travelling with children.

The company also lets customers arrange multiple stops and different luggage requirements during booking, which can be useful for longer itineraries involving airports, hotels, offices, and other destinations.

Digital Booking and 24/7 Customer Support

MiniCabRide has developed its booking service around digital access, allowing customers to arrange journeys through its website and mobile application, while telephone and email support are also available.

The company states that customers can book journeys in advance, with its website currently promoting bookings up to 12 months ahead. It also offers a minimum pre-booking window of two hours for eligible journeys.

This advance-booking model is particularly relevant for airport passengers. Travellers can arrange their outbound journey before leaving home and organise their return transfer at the same time. This reduces the need to search for transportation after landing.

A Service Built Around Pre-Booked Travel

MiniCabRide says its objective is to make private hire transportation straightforward, transparent and convenient. Its service model focuses on pre-booking, fixed fares, professional drivers, flight monitoring and customer support.

The company states on its main website that it has a network of more than 200 licensed driver partners and a fleet of more than 50 modern vehicles.

Its public Trustpilot profile also shows a substantial volume of customer feedback, with more than 3,600 reviews and a displayed 4.7 rating at the time of research. Recent reviews include comments about the booking process, driver professionalism, communication and airport transfers, while some customers have also reported issues such as delays. As with any review platform, these comments represent individual customer experiences rather than a guarantee of future service.

Looking Ahead

As London continues to attract international visitors, business travellers, students, families and holidaymakers, demand for convenient ground transportation remains closely connected to the city’s airports, railway stations, hotels and major destinations.

MiniCabRide aims to support these journeys by offering a single pre-booked private hire service for airport transfers, local travel and longer UK journeys.

A spokesperson for MiniCabRide said:
“Our focus is on making every journey as straightforward as possible for our customers. Whether someone is arriving at Heathrow after a long international flight, travelling to a cruise port, heading to a business meeting or making a longer journey across the UK, we want customers to have a clear booking, an agreed fare and reliable support throughout their journey.”

With airport coverage across London’s major airports, services extending to UK destinations, and an online booking system, MiniCabRide continues to develop its private hire offering around the practical needs of modern travellers.

About MiniCabRide

MiniCabRide Limited is a London-based private hire and minicab company incorporated in 2020. The company provides pre-booked airport, station, seaport, local and long-distance transfers across London and the UK. Services include fixed-price journeys, flight monitoring, airport waiting time, multiple vehicle categories, luggage options and 24/7 customer support.
