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.

B2PRIME Expands Tier-1 Access and Liquidity Architecture for Sophisticated Institutional Flow

Published

on

Limassol, Cyprus, October 13th, 2026, FinanceWire

B2PRIME Group, a global financial services provider for institutional and professional clients, has announced a material expansion of its institutional liquidity architecture.

Following two years of strong growth, product development and investment in institutional infrastructure, B2PRIME has secured an additional line with its Tier-1 prime broker, expanded its relationships with Tier-1 banks and global financial institutions, and increased its capacity to construct and manage bespoke aggregated liquidity streams.

The expansion enables B2PRIME to support larger counterparties, more complex trading models and a broader range of institutional flow profiles.

Intelligent Liquidity Management

Over the past two years, B2PRIME has substantially diversified its pool of banking and non-banking liquidity providers, building a full-scale infrastructure for aggregating liquidity from a wide range of heterogeneous sources. 

Where the Group’s model previously relied on aggregating already-normalised sources, it now aggregates flows with varying order book depth, data formats and execution parameters — systematised and normalised within a single infrastructure rather than simply combined.

This has brought B2PRIME’s customisation to a new level. Individual liquidity streams can now be built for each client, accounting for execution parameters and source-specific characteristics, not just spreads and consolidated pricing. 

Each stream can be configured around instrument coverage, ticket-size distribution, target depth, holding periods, session concentration, latency sensitivity, pricing structure and expected volumes.

This gives institutional clients a liquidity configuration built for their business, rather than a generic pool offered on identical terms to every counterparty.

The Group has also developed more advanced markout and anomalous price-movement detectors, improving control over liquidity quality, faster identification of underperforming sources, and greater price-stream stability.

“Access at this level is earned through financial strength, consistent flow, operational discipline and a strong compliance record. Our expanded relationship with our Tier-1 prime broker and the addition of further Tier-1 bank pricing relationships reflect the progress B2PRIME has made. We now have the access, capacity and infrastructure to serve some of the most sophisticated businesses in the market, and to continue supporting them as they scale.” — Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder of B2PRIME Group

Expanding Prime-of-Prime Liquidity Infrastructure

The additional line with B2PRIME’s Tier-1 prime broker strengthens the Group’s ability to support higher volumes and larger institutional relationships. At the same time, the addition of further Tier-1 bank pricing relationships increases the range and quality of liquidity available for aggregation.

Together, these developments allow B2PRIME to create deeper and more resilient liquidity streams while reducing dependence on any single source.

The resulting architecture is designed to support demanding institutional requirements, including concentrated flow, larger ticket sizes, multi-asset coverage and businesses operating across different trading sessions and execution environments.

This combination of prime-broker access, diversified Tier-1 pricing and client-specific liquidity engineering places B2PRIME among a relatively small group of regulated Prime-of-Prime providers capable of supporting sophisticated liquidity mandates at scale.

More Than a Price Feed

At the institutional level, liquidity quality depends on the diversity of underlying sources, available credit, fill performance and suitability for the client’s specific flow and many other factors. Instead of distributing a standardised feed, B2PRIME designs each stream around the client’s business model and execution requirements, with performance continuously assessed against real execution data.

This has already translated into tighter spreads across major and minor FX pairs and precious metals, more competitive swap rates, increased executable depth and stronger price continuity across principal sessions. 

The broader source mix also gives B2PRIME greater flexibility to manage the liquidity behind each stream. Sources can be assessed against fill ratios, rejection rates, slippage, response times, spread stability and performance during volatile market conditions. This is a continuous process. A liquidity stream is not treated as a static product: it is monitored, reviewed and adjusted as the client’s flow and market conditions evolve.

B2PRIME’s publicly available Best Execution framework, aligned with MiFID II, governed all of this. Institutional counterparties can access detailed execution-quality reporting.

“The difference between supplying liquidity and managing liquidity is significant. A feed can look competitive in a snapshot. An institutional liquidity stream must perform across volume, volatility, different sessions and changing flow characteristics. We understand the client’s flow and manage the stream continuously against real execution data.”

— Alex Tsepaev, Chief Strategy Officer at B2PRIME Group

Two Years of Growth Results in Expansion

In 2025, the Group’s client trading income increased by 165% year-on-year to EUR 52.8 million. Net profit reached EUR 15.0 million, while client trading volumes grew more than fivefold. B2PRIME ended the year with zero debt and an equity-to-total-assets ratio of approximately 45%.

That’s why this combination of balance-sheet strength, consistent volumes, regulatory standing and operational performance has enabled B2PRIME to deepen its relationships with leading global financial institutions.

The offering is available now to eligible brokers, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, asset managers, OTC desks and banks, subject to entity and jurisdiction, via FIX API, PrimeXM, oneZero, Centroid, FXCubic and MT4/MT5 bridges.

Capital International Highlights Multilingual Access to Its Platform as European Economic Conditions Diverge

Published

on

London, UK, October 13th, 2026, FinanceWire

The financial trading platform presents its online trading services in five languages while investors assess higher inflation, an ECB rate increase and uneven growth across Europe

Capital International is highlighting access to its financial trading platform in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, making information about its online trading services available to visitors across several European markets. The announcement comes as new economic figures show why traders are paying close attention to both euro area policy and conditions within individual countries.

Capital International describes its offering as encompassing online CFD trading alongside other investment services. The company’s website presents account options, published spreads and leverage terms, research access and information about managed portfolios, copy trading, stocks and exchange-traded funds. Its five language options give prospective clients a way to examine those features and account terms in their preferred language.

The announcement follows a consequential month for the European economy. Eurostat reported that annual inflation in the euro area rose to 3.2% in August 2026, from 2.9% in July. The rate differed significantly among major economies: Spain recorded 4.6%, Italy 3.2%, Germany 2.9% and France 2.6%. Eurostat also reported that euro area energy prices were 14.3% higher than a year earlier.

On 10 September, the European Central Bank raised its three key interest rates by 25 basis points. The deposit facility rate increased to 2.50%, effective 16 September. In its updated projections, the ECB forecast average euro area inflation of 3.0% and economic growth of 0.9% in 2026, while stressing that the outlook remained uncertain.

Recent growth data underline the variation behind those regional forecasts. Eurostat estimated that euro area GDP grew 0.6% in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the previous quarter. Spain’s economy expanded by 0.7%, Germany’s by 0.3% and Italy’s by 0.2%, while France’s GDP was unchanged. For people following forex and CFD markets, those national differences can be as relevant to their research as the region-wide figures.

Capital International says its multilingual approach is intended to make its platform information easier to review across the markets it addresses. Visitors can consult the website’s account descriptions, including stated spreads and leverage, before exploring the available services. The site also describes access to investment research and analytics among its account features.

The company’s positioning as a forex and CFD broker places that account information in a market where the details of a trading service matter. A prospective client comparing an online CFD trading provider will want to understand which instruments are offered, how trading costs are presented and what tools are available for examining market developments. Capital International’s language options provide access to its published information in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.

Chai Clinic Expands Personalized Anti-Aging Care with Ulthera, Thermage and Serf Lifting

As interest in preventing skin aging grows, more consumers are seeking personalized care based on skin thickness, elasticity loss, and overall condition. Chai Clinic responds by combining distinctive lifting devices with skincare programs.

Its flagship programs, Ulthera and Thermage, deliver energy precisely to the epidermis, dermis, and deeper layers. Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to lift the SMAS layer, while Thermage uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate dermal collagen regeneration. Depending on skin type, the two can be combined or chosen individually. The clinic has also introduced options such as Surf lifting, which aim to restore elasticity and improve facial contours with less discomfort.

Skin boosters balance moisture and oil, soften fine wrinkles, and strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing regeneration when paired with lifting devices. Professional skincare before and after procedures helps prolong results and supports recovery.

“Satisfying anti-aging results require a multifaceted approach that cares for both the surface and inside of the skin,” said Won-jin Cho, Representative Director. “Through one-on-one consultations and genuine products in exact amounts, we will provide solutions optimized for each individual.”

Located in Delight Square near Hapjeong Station in Mapo-gu, Seoul, Chai Clinic is a global anti-aging clinic where doctors with over 10 years of clinical experience personally handle everything from consultation to treatment.
