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.

Local Builder Brings Affordable Housing Innovation to Sonoma County’s Tight Market

Published

on

Turnkey small homes and ADUs pair rapid installation with moisture-smart comfort

  • Families in Sonoma County shouldn’t have to choose between speed, cost, and comfort. Our goal is to make high-quality small homes and ADUs attainable, healthy, and long-lasting.”

     —Spokesperson, Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Petaluma, CA, 23rd December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Sonoma Manufactured Homes today announced a major push to bring efficient, affordable housing options to one of California’s most competitive markets. By combining turnkey small home and ADU solutions with rapid installation and advanced moisture-control systems, the local builder is redefining what affordability can look like in Sonoma County.

With prices and construction timelines climbing across the region, many residents are looking for alternatives to traditional site-built homes. Manufactured and modular housing now offer a way to create Sonoma County small homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that are budget-conscious without feeling temporary or stripped down. Sonoma Manufactured Homes is at the center of this shift, coordinating design, factory construction, permitting, transport, and on-site setup under one roof.

“People are surprised when they see how far modern manufactured homes have come,” said the company’s spokesperson. “These aren’t short-term structures. They’re efficient, well-built homes and ADUs that can be installed quickly, tailored to local properties, and designed for everyday comfort.”

The company’s turnkey model allows homeowners to move from concept to keys with fewer unknowns. While the home or ADU is being built in a controlled factory environment, Sonoma Manufactured Homes manages the local side of the project: site evaluation, foundation design, utility planning, and manufactured home installation in Sonoma County. This parallel process significantly reduces overall timelines compared with conventional builds, an advantage that matters in a tight housing market.

Affordability does not mean one-size-fits-all. Sonoma Manufactured Homes offers a range of layouts suitable for primary residences, downsizing, and prefab ADUs in Sonoma County that serve as in-law units, rental suites, or caregiver housing. Floor plans emphasize efficient circulation, natural light, and storage, so compact footprints feel livable rather than cramped.

What truly sets the company apart is its focus on the “science of comfort” inside small, tightly built homes. Modern modular and manufactured structures are designed to be energy-efficient, but that tightness can trap moisture from everyday activities like showers, cooking, and laundry. Left unmanaged, humidity can lead to condensation, mold, musty odors, and premature wear on building materials and HVAC systems.

To address this, Sonoma Manufactured Homes integrates innovative, built-in dehumidification systems into its projects. The company’s flagship solution, the IW25, is a tankless, tamper-resistant, gravity-drained wall-mounted dehumidifier that can manage humidity in spaces up to 1,500 square feet—ideal for compact homes, cottages, and ADUs. For layouts where wall or floor space is limited, the firm uses the HWD45, a horizontal dehumidifier designed to fit above doors, cabinets, or in crawlspaces.

These systems are particularly well-suited to Sonoma County small homes and secondary units, where every square foot counts and maintenance needs to be straightforward. By handling humidity quietly in the background, they support healthier indoor air, protect finishes, and reduce callbacks related to moisture issues.

“Our homes are designed to perform for the long haul,” the spokesperson added. “Fast installation matters, but so does what happens in year five, year ten, and beyond. When we combine efficient shells with built-in moisture control, we’re protecting both comfort and the homeowner’s investment.”

As demand grows for practical, cost-effective ways to house families, extended relatives, and renters on existing lots, Sonoma Manufactured Homes is positioning its turnkey, moisture-smart approach as a blueprint for the region. The company’s mix of affordability, speed, and technical attention to indoor air quality is helping reshape expectations around manufactured and modular housing in Sonoma County.

About Sonoma Manufactured Homes

Sonoma Manufactured Homes is a trusted provider of modular and manufactured housing solutions based in Petaluma, California. The company specializes in small homes and prefab ADUs that blend durable construction, flexible design, and expert installation. With a strong focus on moisture control, indoor air quality, and long-term comfort, Sonoma Manufactured Homes delivers turnkey projects that help residents navigate Sonoma County’s tight housing market with confidence.

PORTFOLIX Financial College: Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda Announces Official Upgrade to AI Visyonex 2.0 System

Published

on

Mexico, 23rd Dec 2025 – PORTFOLIX Financial College, a global institution specializing in structural investment education, today announced that under the leadership of Founder and Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda, the college has completed a major update to its technological infrastructure, officially upgrading its core AI system to AI Visyonex 2.0. This upgrade aims to introduce an advanced “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework into the curriculum, enabling individual investors to access institutional-grade risk management protocols.
 

Addressing the Institutional Asymmetry

This strategic system upgrade comes as the global algorithmic trading market is projected to reach $42.99 billion by 2030 (Source: Grand View Research). Despite significant market growth, industry data indicates a marked disparity in performance, with institutional investors retaining a dominant 61% market share of algorithmic volume (Source: Mordor Intelligence).

“The current financial landscape is defined by a ‘Cognitive Bottleneck’,” stated Dean Gilberto Marchena Pineda. “While institutions leverage quantitative teams to process petabytes of market data, individual investors are often left exposed to volatility due to a lack of structural methodology. We are releasing Version 2.0 specifically to bridge this analytical gap through a more powerful technological iteration.”

Leadership and Methodology

Gilberto Marchena Pineda, an alumnus of UC Berkeley (Economics & Applied Mathematics) and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business (MBA), brings over two decades of experience in macro-hedging and cross-cycle value investing. Under his guidance, PORTFOLIX has established the “Portfolio Six” methodology, applying Six Sigma principles to asset allocation to minimize defects in decision-making.

“Risk management is not merely a protective measure; it is the foundation of alpha,” Marchena Pineda added. “At PORTFOLIX, we emphasize that risk is distinct from volatility. True risk is ignorance of the underlying market drivers.”

Technology Evolution: AI Visyonex 2.0

To serve its global base of over 10,000 learners, the college has moved beyond its initial technical layout to drive the evolution of the system to Version 2.0. Unlike passive automated trading tools, the upgraded AI Visyonex 2.0 functions as a “Symbiotic Intelligence” framework focused on augmenting human decision-making rather than replacing it.

Key features of the Version 2.0 upgrade include:

  • Adversarial Reasoning: The addition of a “Debate Engine” where distinct AI agents (Bull and Bear) argue the merits of a trade, forcing students to evaluate counter-arguments before execution.
  • Macro-Hedge Integration: A comprehensive logic upgrade that deeply binds portfolio construction with global macroeconomic indicators, reflecting the Dean’s expertise in structural investment.
  • ESG Governance: An enhanced “Guardian Guild” module that enforces strict adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, ensuring capital allocation aligns with sustainable principles.

About PORTFOLIX Financial College

Founded in 2016, PORTFOLIX Financial College is a leading financial education institution focusing on Asset Allocation, DeFi, and Structural Investment. With a mission to cultivate responsible portfolio managers, the institution combines academic rigor with advanced financial technology. The college currently serves a global community of over 10,000 learners, with a strategic focus on the Latin American and North American markets.
