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.

Range Products Explores the Benefits of Sandalwood Essential Oil in Natural Wellness Practices

Published

on

Australia, 1st May 2026  –  Range Products, a Perth-based supplier of essential oils and raw ingredients, has released new information outlining the potential applications of sandalwood essential oil in natural wellness practices. The announcement reflects sustained interest in plant-based ingredients and their role in personal care and lifestyle routines.

The update provides an overview of sandalwood essential oil, derived from the heartwood of sandalwood trees, and its longstanding use in traditional practices across multiple regions. Known for its distinctive aroma, the oil has historically been incorporated into skincare formulations, aromatherapy blends, and relaxation routines.

According to Range Products, sandalwood essential oil is frequently associated with calming properties and is commonly used in products designed to support relaxation and mindfulness. In addition, the oil is often included in skincare preparations due to its perceived compatibility with a range of skin types. Increased awareness of ingredient sourcing and formulation transparency has contributed to renewed attention on oils such as sandalwood.

Range Products reported that internal research and supplier data indicate growing demand for traditional essential oils, particularly those with established historical use. The company maintains a catalogue of more than 500 items, including essential oils, carrier oils, and base ingredients, all subject to independent quality testing.

Penny Coupland, Business Owner of Range Products, commented on the announcement: “Sandalwood essential oil continues to attract attention due to its longstanding presence in traditional wellness practices. The intention is to provide clear, factual information about its properties and uses so that individuals and businesses can make informed decisions when incorporating it into formulations or routines.”

The company’s overview also addresses sourcing considerations, noting that sustainability and ethical harvesting practices remain key concerns within the essential oil industry. Sandalwood, in particular, has faced supply challenges in the past, leading to increased emphasis on responsible cultivation and traceability. Suppliers are selected based on adherence to quality and sustainability standards.

In addition to product availability, Range Products provides educational materials intended to support safe and informed use of essential oils. These resources include formulation guides and more than 60 publicly accessible recipes covering applications such as cleaning solutions, skincare items, and candle-making. These materials are designed to support both small-scale creators and established manufacturers.

The announcement also highlighted logistical capabilities, including wholesale pricing options and dispatch timelines. Most warehouse stock is dispatched within two days, and a Click & Collect service is available at the Welshpool location. While operational details were included, the primary focus of the update remains on the broader context of sandalwood essential oil within natural wellness trends.

Industry observers have noted that consumer preferences are shifting towards ingredient transparency and simplified formulations. Essential oils, including sandalwood essential oil, are often positioned within this movement due to their single-ingredient nature and historical usage. However, proper dilution and adherence to safety guidelines remain essential when using concentrated oils.

Coupland also addressed the company’s perspective on future developments: “Ongoing interest in natural ingredients is expected to support further exploration of essential oils and their applications. Continued investment in quality assurance and educational resources will remain a priority as the industry evolves and new information becomes available.”

Range Products operates from its facility at 6/138 Radium Street, Welshpool, Western Australia, serving both local and national customers. The company’s distribution model includes online ordering and in-store access, with a focus on maintaining consistent supply and product integrity.

Argenta Silver Assay Results Support District Scale Potential of the El Quevar Project

Published

on

On April 28, 2026, Argenta Silver released a 4th set of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 diamond drilling campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina. The latest results highlight significant high-grade silver mineralization at the Mani-Copan and Argentina exploration targets, located 800 meters and 1,500 meters, respectively, from the eastern edge of the current Mineral Resource

Canada, 1st May 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Argenta Silver. On April 28, 2026, Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) released a 4th set of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 diamond drilling campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina.

The latest results highlight significant high-grade silver mineralization at the Mani-Copan and Argentina exploration targets, located 800 meters and 1,500 meters, respectively, from the eastern edge of the current Mineral Resource

Notably, drill hole QVD-444 at Mani-Copan intercepted 1,385 g/t Ag over 4.0 meters, successfully validating high-grade results previously identified from surface samples (see press release dated February 23, 2026).

Furthermore, Argenta discovered a new, previously untested mineralized zone at the Argentina target, where all drill holes have encountered high-grade silver.

When Argenta purchased the El Quevar project in October 2024, investors were focused on the Yaxtché deposit, which has an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag. (1)

Argenta’s land package is 57,000 hectares, 160 X bigger than NYC’s Central Park.  Less than 3% of the property has been explored.

Joaquin Marias, President, CEO and Director of Argenta, embarked on a mission to “significantly expand the known mineralized footprint and underscore the vast, district-scale potential of the El Quevar Project.”

“The high-grade intercept at Mani-Copan confirms meaningful silver mineralization beyond the current resource envelope, while consistent high-grade results at the Argentina target further expand the footprint of the system,” stated Marias in the April 28 2026 press release.

“Importantly, Mani-Copan and the Yaxtché deposit share a comparable geochemical signature; however, Mani-Copan is distinguished by exceptionally high-grade surface samples, a characteristic not observed at the Yaxtché Deposit,” added Marias.

“With two rigs active, more than 14,500 metres completed, and additional assays pending, we are systematically advancing El Quevar to define the full scale of this silver system.”

Figure 1. Map displaying the exploratory drill holes at Mani-Copan, Argentina, and Andrea targets, located 800, 1,500 and 1,100 meters from the eastern border of the Yaxtché deposit. Note the wide distance between the targets and their proximity to the Yaxtché deposit, emphasizing the vast district-scale potential of El Quevar.

In the April 30, 2026, video below, Vanessa Bogaert, VP of Investor Relations & Communications of Argenta Silver Corp breaks down the significance of the news.

”Mani-Copan shares a similar geochemical signature with the Yaxtché deposit, which hosts our current resource,” stated Bogaert in the YouTube video. “But what differentiates it is a strong high-grade surface expression, something we don’t see at Yaxtché. That’s a key vector, and it suggests Mani-Copan could represent a distinct and highly prospective part of the system”.

”At the same time, we’ve made a new discovery at the Argentina target where we’re seeing grades like 725 grams per tonne over 3 metres, along with broader mineralized intervals.”

“When you step back, the takeaway is this: El Quevar is evolving from an open-ended resource into a much larger, district-scale silver system, with multiple high-grade zones emerging beyond what was previously known,” concluded Bogart.

The Province of Salta in Argentina has implemented a Provincial Plan for Sustainable Mining Development 2030, which includes infrastructure, education, and state modernization initiatives.

“The Government of Salta intends to ensure the development of the mining industry,” states the 2030 Plan, “promoting more investments that foster exploration and production of minerals such as gold, copper, lithium, silver, among others, always under competitive standards of environmental care and support to the communities.”

In a recent wide-ranging interview with Connect 4 Capital, Argenta CEO Joaquin Marias spoke about the advantages of operating in Salta and the importance of connecting with local communities.

“Salta has been the heart of the lithium triangle for many years,” confirmed Marias in the YouTube video. “Salta has a rich geology with a lot of potential for different styles of mineralization. It’s a productive province. They produce grains, cattle and a lot of other things, including oil and gas.”

“I am a geologist, I was born in Argentina, I have a big network of contacts in the country,” continued Marias. “The government and the local communities understand the productive cycle of the industries.”

“After two days at the El Quevar office, I drove into the mountains and met with of the Chief of the indigenous community,” Marias told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “Being familiar with the local culture and language made the first meeting comfortable and productive”.

“I introduced myself to the Chief, told her what we were planning to do and asked first for her blessing, and secondly for her permission to conduct work programs at El Quevar.”

“Before leaving, we embraced, and I noticed tears in her eyes. She said, ‘I did not expect a mining executive to come to me directly. We have never been asked for permission. This is powerful to me.’”

“A big portion of our philosophy, of the culture that I have brought to the company, is that we need to have the communities involved,” Marias told Connect 4 Capital. “Fifty percent of our workforce comes from local communities.”

“It’s been surprising to us, but some of the leaders from the community have never been to the site before. They are visiting for the first time, because we brought them. Those little actions are the ones that add value and build trust.”

Mining executives tend to fit into one of three categories: geologists, communicators or capital markets experts. It is relatively rare to find a CEO with training, expertise and a track record in all three disciplines.

Argenta is pursuing a dual-track growth strategy: 40% of the current drill program targets Resource Expansion to strengthen the existing resource base, while the remaining 60% is focused on unlocking new discoveries beyond the existing footprint. 

To date, AGAG has completed over 14,500 meters across 61 holes, representing more than half of the total 25,000-meter program. Laboratory analysis is well underway; over 300 work orders have been submitted, with 40% of these results currently pending.
