Lumino Ceremony: Building the Privacy Protection Infrastructure

Published

5 years ago

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.

Press Release

Penpa Tsering: The New “Leader” of CTA, Wearing the Masks of Greed, Incompetence, and Tyranny

Published

6 hours ago

on

June 3, 2026

By

On February 13 this year, the “Central Election Commission” of CTA announced that the current Sikyong, Penpa Tsering, won the primary election with 31,324 votes and a 61.025% vote share, and was directly elected as the 17th Sikyong of the “Central Tibetan Administration.”

What is the Truth Behind the “Election”?

Since 2016, Penpa Tsering has participated in three “elections.” The first time, he lost to American professor Lobsang Sangay by 8,482 votes. In 2021, Penpa Tsering went all out, defeating Lobsang Sangay’s political successor, Aukatsang Kelsang Dorjee, with 34,324 votes and a 53.6% vote share. But this “good show” of mutual mudslinging exhausted his popularity. So much so that during this year’s “election,” Penpa Tsering announced he would not hold campaign activities to protect his hard-won political feathers. Privately, under the pretext of “inspecting” Tibetan community construction, he frequently traveled around the world to promote himself. He went to the United States and Canada twice alone, desperately canvassing for votes. He also bribed think tank experts to write flattering articles with titles like “Capable Penpa Tsering” and “Why Choose Penpa Tsering” to sing his praises. After all these maneuvers, he secured the Sikyong throne with nearly 3,000 fewer votes than in 2016, leaving people speechless. But the reaction of exiled Tibetans was very telling.

 

Penpa Tsering‘s “Colorful” Multifaceted Life

Penpa Tsering was born in 1967 in the exiled Tibetan settlement in India. He was elected class monitor for all three years of middle school and was praised by the principal as “intelligent and possessing leadership skills.” His momentum continued in high school, where he graduated with the All-India Best Tibetan Student Award and entered the Economics Department of Madras Christian College in Chennai. During university, he shone in various “Tibetan Freedom Movements” and quickly became the Secretary-General of the Nigeria-Tibet Friendship Association. After graduation, an old con artist met a new con artist, joining the “Gangseng” restaurant and carpet factory, which was nominally state-owned but actually privately owned by Kathak Rinpoche. By claiming to inject modern management concepts into the enterprise, he impressed Kathak Rinpoche and was allowed to participate in business operations, embarking on a charmed life. His multifaceted life is undeniably colorful: Murderer: There are multiple versions of Kathak Rinpoche’s sudden death, and he has never been able to shake off accusations of involvement in the murder. Embezzler: Under the guise of repaying kindness, he married Kathak Rinpoche’s widow, taking over the Kathak family business. Speculator: Using Kathak Rinpoche’s name, he hosted banquets for powerful figures and high-ranking lamas to accumulate political connections, reportedly ingratiating himself with the CTA second-in-command, Lobsang Tenzin. Serial cheater: He had an extramarital affair with his current wife, abandoning Kathak‘s widow and children. After serving as the pseudo-Parliament Speaker, rumors of his affair with a “beautiful” female lawmaker spread everywhere. Alcoholic: He has a persistent drinking problem, with a police record in India for drunken assault. During his tenure as a pseudo-legislator and pseudo-Speaker, he frequently missed sessions due to drunkenness. Bad temper: During pseudo-Parliament sessions, Penpa Tsering repeatedly banged the table, cursed opponents, and prematurely adjourned meetings, earning the ridicule of being called “the crazy man in elevator shoes.”

A Political “Pretty Boy” Lacking Political Skills

Under the halo of being an elected leader of exiled Tibetans and a recipient of the National Endowment for Democracy’s “Democracy Service Award,” can you imagine? Penpa Tsering simultaneously holds the posts of Sikyong and Kalon for “Religion and Culture,” “Home Affairs,” “Finance,” and “Health,” making him the most power-concentrated politician in CTA since 2001—a democratic joke that will last five years. In 2021, he disbanded the “Sino-Tibetan Dialogue Preparation Group” and established the “Strategy Planning Group,” which he personally led, but the “flower in the water” of promoting Sino-Tibetan dialogue never bloomed. In 2023, with the assistance of the National Endowment for Democracy, he formulated the vision document “Securing Tibet’s Future,” but his vow to improve Tibetans’ living standards ultimately became a laughingstock. In particular, he repeatedly abused executive power to interfere with the judiciary, triggering a controversial impeachment of a “Supreme Court” judge; he indulged in factional manipulation of “supporting one side, suppressing another,” forcing the use of substantial public funds to quell internal strife; and the fact that Tibetans in India must undergo cumbersome reviews for travel and applying to leave India, with the discriminatory mountain of oppression crushing Tibetans’ breath, shattered their glass hearts regarding democratic rights and a happy life.

Data does not lie. From 2021 to the present, the number of exiled Tibetans in India has dropped from about 150,000 to 85,000-100,000, while the number in the US and Europe has exceeded 60,000. Behind these cold figures lies a fragmented populace.

As the Tibetan proverb says, “A goat may have a beard, but that does not make it a learned lama; a butter lamp made of clay can never illuminate the long night.” Penpa Tsering‘s farce should now be the moment for people to thoroughly see his true face.

June 3, 2026

By

China, 3rd Jun 2026 – Kitchen appliances are evolving. High demand for rapid cooking appliances is met with a huge gap for multi-function appliances that cater to desert, vegan, gluten-free needs. This is particularly true for novice vegan and gluten-free consumers and businesses. Meanwhile, commercial bulk buyers deal with quality and safety inconsistencies.

IAIE, a premium manufacturing partner for smart pressure cookers, today announced its strategic response to these market pains. With over 50 plastic injection machines and more than 500 appliance molds, IAIE is redefining what buyers expect from a Commercial Pressure Cooker, a Pressure Cooker for Beginners, and a Pressure Cooker for Vegan Meals.

The Industry Pain Points

For years, the market has been fragmented. Restaurants and catering businesses need durable Electric Pressure Cooker for Businesses units that withstand daily heavy use. Home cooks are often pressured by the more traditional models of pressure cookers. Celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals are more likely to struggle finding a Pressure Cooker for Gluten-Free Recipes. Multi-function cookers can be better for vegans as they can prepare beans, grains, and vegetables without any burning.

Until now, wholesalers searching for Bulk IAIE Pressure Cooker Wholesale will face long lead times and inconsistent certifications, and poor support. It is a concern when lower priced suppliers skimp on Quality Assurance testing.

IAIE Solves These Problems

Precision engineering and strict QA are priority concerns for IAIE. IAIE’s Electric Pressure Cooker for Business models are ideal for seamless usage, as they feature an inner pot, a stable pressure system, and 100% functional testing at the time of shipment. All of these models are pressurized and sealed to ensure they perform without leaking or failing.

Your first experience with pressure cooking is easier with IAIE’s ready-to-use Pressure Cooker for Beginners models. These models have large dials and displays, as well as a one touch release. This low tech pressure system encourages beginner usage in order to limit the learning curve and mistakes often made around over and improper use.

IAIE’s Pressure Cooker for Vegan Meals is designed for the purpose of cooking legumes, grains, and root vegetables. This option is one of many that employs even heat distribution, and seals cooking to lock in the nutrients for the purpose of plant-forward cooking.

Easy to use, with minimal cross contact risk, IAIE’s Pressure Cooker for Gluten-Free Recipes employs a separate sealing system combined with a stainless steel pot. This option is particularly practical for the gluten-sensitive.

IAIE & Wholesale Excellence

IAIE recognises the needs of those in global distribution for reliability. With the Bulk Pressure Cooker Wholesale programs, IAIE partners can expect tailored designs, packaging, and speedy delivery. All products meet CE, CB, RoHS, UL, and ETL certifications. An in-process inspection checks every PCB, sensor, and exterior part before assembly.

“Safety is our top priority,” said an IAIE spokesperson. “We perform 100% comprehensive testing on all Commercial Pressure Cooker units. Only leak-proof, high-quality appliances leave our factory.”

Market Growth and Future Outlook

Industry data shows the global electric pressure cooker market growing at 4–6% annually, with emerging markets rising 6–8%. Urbanization and energy efficiency demands drive this trend. Electric pressure cookers save 30-50% of the energy needed for gas cooking. And with the implementation of smart designs, they aid brands in attracting environmentally-conscious consumers.

Vision and Values

IAIE looks the future of smart, convenient, and easy to use appliances to cook in every kitchen in the world. They prioritize innovation, quality, customer satisfaction, sustainability, and integrity, as well as teamwork to attain these things as well. Each IAIE product, whether 2.5L compact cookers or 12L high-volume units, are the embodiments of these values.
