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.

TT Devassy Jewellery Marks 85 Years with the Unveiling of Designer-Made Heritage Collection

TT Devassy Jewellery celebrating 85 years with the launching of POYEMS, a new range of collection

Kochi, February 5, 2026: TT Devassy Jewellery, a house synonymous with designer-made fine jewellery, marked 85 years of creative excellence with the unveiling of a curated heritage collection at The Grounds, Chakola Mill, Kochi. The milestone evening brought together patrons, designers, artists, and members of the creative fraternity.

The celebration reaffirmed the House’s commitment to jewellery as a crafted expression of design — where artistry, intent, and heritage converge. For over eight decades, TT Devassy has positioned jewellery not merely as ornamentation, but as a medium of memory, identity, and storytelling.

A defining moment of the evening was the introduction of POYEMS, the new design-led label from TT Devassy Jewellery. Conceived as a concept-driven extension of the House, POYEMS reimagines jewellery as narrative — where form, symbolism, and emotion take precedence over excess — signalling a new design era grounded in original authorship.

Introducing the POYEMS Collective, Architect and Creative Director Minna Elizabeth guided guests through the ideas shaping each design.

“For 85 years, this House has shaped memory in gold,” she said.

“But legacy does not stand still. It evolves, questions, and redefines. POYEMS was born in that process.”

Among the highlights, Kilimala was presented as an heirloom rooted in family lineage and reinterpreted as a living inheritance. Vazhayilamala, inspired by the banana leaf, expressed organic fluidity, while architectural symmetry drawn from landmarks such as the Taj Mahal and Hawa Mahal translated built heritage into ornament. Thamarapoothali drew from sacred tradition and the ritual symbolism of Theyyam.

“The POYEMS are not simply collections — they are storytellers. This is where legacy becomes design,” she added.

Built on a belief in thoughtful craftsmanship, TT Devassy Jewellery has long championed designer-authored creation, balancing time-honoured techniques with contemporary expression — a defining hallmark that distinguishes the House within an increasingly trend-driven market.

Conceived as an editorial runway, the anniversary showcase moved beyond the conventional jewellery presentation, tracing the brand’s evolution from heritage craftsmanship to its place within today’s design-driven luxury landscape.

The evening included addresses by Anil Jose, Managing Director and Seema Anil, Executive Director, and Adon Tharakan, Executive Director – Finance & Development, reflecting on the House’s continued creative direction.

As TT Devassy Jewellery enters its 85th year, the House reaffirms its philosophy — designer-made jewellery as an enduring craft, where heritage meets modern interpretation. The POYEMS collections are presented exclusively at the House’s MG Road flagship in Kochi.

Pascal Capital Announces Imminent Launch of Ecosystem Token, Advancing Trading System Towards Open Ecosystem

Published

February 5, 2026

By

Recently, the emerging financial services institution Pascal Capital officially announced that its core ecosystem token, ARXN, is nearing completion of its issuance and will soon enter market circulation. This move signifies that the company’s strategy of opening its internally operational trading system capabilities to a broader range of ecosystem participants has entered a new phase.

It is understood that Pascal Capital’s founding team has a background in traditional finance and quantitative trading. In its early development stages, the company focused on providing trading system solutions for institutional clients. After navigating multiple market cycles, the team began working to transform its system capabilities into more standardized and reusable infrastructure. Its core product, the ARX system, has undergone several iterations and has now evolved into a modular architecture comprising a model engine, intelligent risk monitoring, and automated trading interfaces. The company stated that the system has passed extensive live trading tests.

The issuance of the ARXN token is seen as a critical step in opening these system capabilities externally. According to information disclosed by the company, the token’s design primarily revolves around long-term value and ecosystem stability, with its value logic linked to the system’s actual performance, user base growth, and trading volume. In the initial issuance phase, the token incorporates a lock-up period arrangement aimed at directing focus toward long-term ecosystem development. In the future, the token is planned to be used for community incentives, user rewards, and the construction of governance mechanisms.

Regarding future development, Pascal Capital revealed that its focus over the next three to five years will center on four key areas: continuously upgrading the ARX system to cover a wider range of asset classes and enhance automation; building long-term plans based on systematic returns; designing regional partnership mechanisms; and promoting more open ecosystem collaboration by integrating additional financial instruments and application scenarios.

Analysis points out that transitioning from a closed system provider to an open financial ecosystem builder is a direction currently being explored by many fintech companies. Pascal Capital’s latest move reflects its attempt to productize and ecosystemize its internally validated trading system capabilities. How to transform technological capabilities into a sustainable business model and maintain system stability and efficiency within an open ecosystem will be its primary challenges.

The launch of ARXN indicates that Pascal Capital’s commercialization process has taken a new step. The market will continue to monitor the actual performance of its system in a more open environment and whether its ecosystem co-building model can attract long-term participants.
