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.

Belize at CAF International Economic Forum Dustin Rennie and Luigi Wewege

Published

on

Belize, 10th Feb 2026 – Belize continues to strengthen its voice in regional and global economic conversations, and this momentum was on full display at the International Economic Forum Latin America and the Caribbean, organized by CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Panama City.

Among the attendees were Dustin Rennie, Regional Director of RE/MAX Belize, and Luigi Wewege, President of Caye International Bank—both representing Belize at one of the most influential economic gatherings in the region.

Often described as a “Davos for Latin America and the Caribbean,” the CAF forum brings together heads of state, policymakers, business leaders, investors, and development institutions to discuss the future of economic growth, investment, sustainability, and regional integration. For Belize, participation in this forum is not just symbolic—it is strategic.

Why the CAF Forum Matters

CAF plays a central role in financing infrastructure, promoting private sector development, and advancing sustainable growth across Latin America and the Caribbean. The forum itself is designed to move beyond theory and into practical collaboration, aligning governments and the private sector around shared regional priorities such as:

  • Sustainable development and climate resilience
  • Foreign direct investment and trade integration
  • Financial inclusion and capital mobility
  • Infrastructure, logistics, and digital transformation

For small but dynamic economies like Belize, this platform offers access to conversations—and decision-makers—that shape the region’s economic future.

Belizes Strategic Role within CAF

Belize occupies a unique position within Latin America and the Caribbean. As an English-speaking country with deep ties to CARICOM, Central America, and international financial markets, Belize acts as a bridge economy—connecting regions, cultures, and investment flows.

Belize’s strengths align closely with CAF’s priorities:

  • Sustainable development leadership, particularly in marine conservation, eco-tourism, and climate finance
  • Stable financial and legal frameworks attractive to international investors
  • Strategic geography linking North America, Central America, and the Caribbean
  • Emerging real estate and infrastructure opportunities, especially in tourism, logistics, and residential development

With the right partnerships, Belize has the potential to leverage CAF not only as a development financier but as a long-term partner in investment promotion and private-sector expansion.

Private Sector Voices Matter

The presence of Dustin Rennie and Luigi Wewege at the CAF forum underscores the importance of private-sector leadership in shaping Belize’s economic trajectory.

From a real estate and investment standpoint, Dustin Rennie plays a key role in connecting international capital with on-the-ground opportunities—supporting responsible development, job creation, and long-term value. At the same time, Luigi Wewege represents Belize’s growing influence in international banking and financial services, reinforcing the country’s credibility as a regional financial player.

By engaging directly with CAF leadership, investors, and policymakers, Belizean business leaders help ensure that the country is not merely a recipient of regional policy—but an active contributor to it.

Looking Ahead

Belize’s participation in forums like CAF signals a broader shift: the country is increasingly positioning itself as a serious, forward-thinking partner in regional development.

As CAF continues to expand its footprint in the Caribbean, Belize has an opportunity to:

  • Attract infrastructure and development financing
  • Increase visibility among institutional investors
  • Strengthen public-private partnerships
  • Align national growth strategies with regional initiatives

The conversations in Panama are only the beginning—but they reinforce an important message: Belize belongs at the table, and its private sector is ready to lead.
