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.

NYALA VILLAS INTRODUCES WELLNESS-FOCUSED HOMES IN BALI’S NYANG NYANG CLIFFS

Published

on

Uluwatu, Bali, 17th Jan 2026, — High above the white sands of Nyang Nyang Beach, a new collection of villas is quietly taking shape. Nyala Villas has unveiled ten wellness-focused residences in one of Bali’s most unspoilt coastal settings, offering a slower, more considered approach to both living and investment. Set within protected green surroundings, the villas sit on the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, where the sound of the waves and open skies shape daily life. While Nyang Nyang feels remote, it remains closely connected to Uluwatu and Bali’s wider lifestyle and short stay rental market, which continues to attract wellness travellers, surfers, and long-stay international visitors. Each villa has been designed around wellbeing rather than excess. Sunrise yoga decks, hot and cold plunge pools, saunas, outdoor rain showers, and private rooftop terraces are integrated into every home. Developed in collaboration with Swatch Architects, the design blends modern lines with natural materials and subtle Moroccan influences, creating spaces that feel calm, grounded, and in tune with their surroundings.

While lifestyle is central, Nyala Villas has also been carefully structured from an investment perspective. Early buyers will receive a 12% guaranteed net income for the first three years, subject to the project’s terms and conditions, with projected rental returns estimated between 12% and 18% thereafter. As Bali’s tourism market continues to evolve, demand for high-quality, wellness- oriented accommodation remains strong, particularly in quieter coastal locations

While lifestyle is central, Nyala Villas has also been carefully structured from an investment perspective. Early buyers will receive a 12% guaranteed net income for the first three years, subject to the project’s terms and conditions, with projected rental returns estimated between 12% and 18% thereafter. As Bali’s tourism market continues to evolve, demand for high-quality, wellness- oriented accommodation remains strong, particularly in quieter coastal locations. The project will be released through a private Launch Day model, offering early registrants priority access to the first allocation of villas.

This initial release includes a series of launch-only advantages, such as preferential pricing on selected units, an upgrade from fully furnished to turnkey, and a curated set of Bali experiences. These may include flights and a hosted handover stay, available exclusively during the initial allocation window. Launch pricing for the initial release starts from USD $199,000 for selected units, tied specifically to the private Launch Day allocation. Owners benefit from a fully managed experience, with an all-in management fee of 18% covering bookings, marketing, housekeeping, and ongoing maintenance. A dedicated online portal allows owners to track performance transparently, while one-, two-, and three bedroom layouts are delivered fully furnished and ready for personal use or rental. Beyond the development itself, Nyala Villas places emphasis on responsible growth. For every villa sold, the developer has committed to building a home for a local Balinese family, ensuring the project gives back to the community it becomes part ofTo learn more, visit nyalavillas.com

KBY Exchange Supports the Global Shift Toward Web3 Compliance Amid Rising Regulatory Standards

Published

on

Singapore, January 16, 2026 — As global regulators intensify oversight of digital finance and Web3-based financial infrastructures, compliance has rapidly shifted from an optional safeguard to a fundamental requirement for long-term viability. Recent industry data indicates that a significant majority of centralized digital finance platforms worldwide have now implemented comprehensive identity verification and customer due diligence frameworks, marking a critical milestone in the maturation of the Web3 ecosystem.

Against this backdrop, KBY Exchange is positioning itself as an active advocate for compliant, transparent, and sustainable digital finance development, supporting a future where Web3 innovation and regulatory frameworks evolve together—rather than in opposition.

From Ideals to Infrastructure: A Defining Moment for Web3

For more than a decade, early Web3 development emphasized openness, decentralization, and permissionless access. However, as digital finance systems expanded into large-scale, cross-border financial infrastructure, regulators worldwide were compelled to respond to increasing risks related to financial crime, sanctions exposure, and misuse of digital payment networks.

The implementation of FATF-aligned guidelines, the global rollout of cross-border transaction traceability requirements in nearly 100 jurisdictions, and a wave of high-profile enforcement actions have reshaped industry expectations.

 Today, compliance is no longer a limitation—it is the gateway to participating in global digital finance markets.

KBY Exchange views this transition not as a constraint, but as a necessary evolution toward a mature, resilient Web3 financial infrastructure.

Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

KBY Exchange aligns its operational framework with internationally recognized standards for AML controls, customer identification, and sanctions screening, reflecting a broader shift across the digital finance industry toward accountability and risk discipline. Key pillars include:

  • Robust identity verification and customer due diligence
  • Continuous transaction monitoring with risk-based controls
  • Alignment with global regulatory principles governing Web3 financial service providers

By embedding compliance at the infrastructure level, KBY Exchange supports long-term platform stability while enhancing user confidence and institutional readiness.

Restoring Trust After Market Turbulence

Recent years have demonstrated the cost of weak governance across the broader digital finance landscape. Enforcement actions and platform failures have exposed the systemic risks created by inadequate compliance frameworks and poor internal controls.

In response, institutional participants and professional users are increasingly prioritizing platforms that demonstrate transparent operations, clear accountability structures, and strong risk management practices.

KBY Exchange recognizes that trust has become the scarcest asset in Web3. Compliance is not only a regulatory obligation—it is a core requirement for users seeking security, predictability, and sustainable participation in digital finance ecosystems.

Bridging Web3 Innovation and Global Standards

Rather than viewing regulation as an obstacle, KBY Exchange supports a cooperative model in which technology enhances compliance efficiency. Advances in automated identity verification, AI-driven risk monitoring, and secure data governance enable platforms to meet regulatory expectations without compromising user experience.

This approach reflects a growing industry consensus:

 sustainable Web3 growth depends on harmonizing innovation with global standards, not avoiding them.

A Shared Responsibility for the Industry’s Future

As jurisdictions worldwide move toward unified licensing frameworks and stricter enforcement for Web3 financial activities, platforms that fail to adapt face increasing operational and reputational risk.

KBY Exchange calls on industry participants to treat compliance not as a burden, but as a shared responsibility—one that strengthens market integrity, supports institutional participation, and accelerates mainstream adoption.

In a Web3 era defined by accountability, KBY Exchange stands for a future where trust, transparency, and compliance form the foundation of global digital finance.
