Lumino, lightening up the world of secure multi-party computation
New digital era, new demand of security
With the advent of the era of big data, the leakage and abuse of personal privacy data are common, which not only disturbs the normal market order, but also seriously restricts the innovation and development of the digital economy. In recent years, many countries have carried out relevant legislation of digital economy and data governance, which makes the legal requirements of personal privacy data more rigorous, and the supervision system is becoming increasingly strict. The various online scenarios led by the Covid-19 not only bring convenience to our life, but also cause a lot of security demand of data protection
Therefore, the data producers, such as government agencies, operators, platforms, are constantly raising the legal standards of storage, transmission and transaction. It has brought a problem to the data owners: how can fully utilize the data resource endowment to create business profits and social value, meanwhile ensure that the data privacy is protected in accordance with supervision provisions? The real demand behind the problem is bound to give birth to new technologies. The combination of blockchain and secure multi-party computation provides a new solution for breaking the “data island”, ensuring data security and releasing data value.
Recently, as the leader in the global blockchain industry, PlatON has started a new journey in the construction of privacy computation infrastructure, launching the secure multi-party computation ceremony—— Lumino. Lumino aims to create system parameters in a decentralized way, which could help build a real community-based, open-source blockchain ecosystem and ensure the underlying security of the main network and the reliability of future digital applications.
The “chemical reaction” of blockchain and secure multi-party computation
To understand the essence of Lumino, we need to understand the blockchain and secure multi-party computation. Blockchain is a technical solution that does not rely on a third party and a network that stores, verifies, transmits and communicates through its own distributed nodes. The core problems it solves are network decentralization, data consistency and tamper-prevent. Secure multi-party computation is to solve the problem of privacy protection among a group of mutual distrusted participants. It should ensure the independence, correctness decentralization and do not disclose the data to other participants. Secure multi-party computation was firstly proposed by professor Yao Qizhi, who is a Chinese computer scientist and the winner of Turing prize. Since 2010, the development of executable general compiler makes its concept gradually well-known.
It can be seen that both blockchain and multi-party security computation are technologies dealing with data interaction between a group of participants according to specific rules. However, blockchain is mainly used to verify the correctness of the calculation, and the purpose is to achieve the consistent recognition of the results and prevent the results from being tampered with; the purpose of secure multi-party computation (MPC) is to get specific results in the case of data confidentiality, and emphasis on privacy protection in data share situation.
When secure multi-party computation encounters blockchain, the integration has become a technology trend that attracts much attention. Due to the different traits of blockchain and multi-party security computation, they are not exclusive and can complement each other. Blockchain can improve its ability of data confidentiality by using secure multi-party computation to adapt to complex environments; while secure multi-party computation can complete redundant computation with the help of blockchain to obtain verifiable and unique results.
The combination of MPC and blockchain is ultimately to meet the more complex and changeable real needs, especially for various environments of data exchange and sharing. For example, secure multi-party computation can realize key management in the blockchain wallet, and divide the management right of assets reasonably to reduce the risk of single key loss. It can also realize the cross-domain access of EHR data. Based on personal digital identity infrastructure, hospital A could apply for data access to hospital B by obtaining the patient’s authorization, which does not need directly return the patient’s medical record data. It would meet the dual goals of diagnosis needs and privacy protection.
New practice in privacy protection——PlatON & Lumino
Secure multi-party computation is essentially a solution for data security. It is consisted of cryptographic technologies such as obfuscation circuit, secret sharing, homomorphic encryption, etc. PlatON has already realized the layout in these fileds. The key to secure multi-party computation is to use zero knowledge proof to prove that there is no leakage, which is also the key to Lumino.
Most of the existing efficient zero-knowledge proof algorithms need to create system parameters in a centralized way, so the third party who creates the parameters may forge proofs to destroy the underlying security of the main network. Lumino aims to generate the system parameters of the zero-knowledge proof through secure multi-party computation. In this process, the parameters are generated by members altogether, so they will not be obtained or tampered by a single party. This also constitutes the cornerstone of the subsequent privacy protection application. Only when the activity held safely, the subsequent decentralized application will be more secure.
This ceremony is PlatON’s latest practice in the field of privacy protection, and Lumino’s goal is to link the world’s cryptographic geeks to build a global privacy computation infrastructure. In the future community-based and open-source blockchain ecosystem, every participant is an important node, and every participation will make the underlying network more secure. Therefore, this is not only an activity, but also a collective wisdom full of ritual sense. PlatON will also take this opportunity to realize the vision of building infrastructure in the digital era, and make every effort to be the best practitioner in the field of privacy security.

Field trial carried out by the University of Florida showed high efficacy in controlling a dangerous pathogen in field strawberries
Costa Rica, 19th Aug 2026 — ClearLeaf, a Costa Rican company with proven success in formulating non-toxic agricultural products to protect important crops, today announced that its non-toxic fungi bactericide, GotaBlanca, proved highly effective in controlling the devastating Pestalotia leaf spot and fruit rot diseases in field strawberries in a trial conducted by the University of Florida’s Gulf Coast Research and Education Center.
UF researchers designed the study to identify fungicide alternatives to control Neopestalotiopsis, the causal agent of this aggressive and rapidly emerging disease that have pushed growers to their limits in Florida and other growing regions in the Americas. Concerns about fungicide resistance underscore the need for additional products with different modes of action to support long-term disease management. The trial evaluated a range of fungicide mixes and formulations alongside a new generation of technologies. GotaBlanca significantly outperformed some of the other new generation technologies, with the added benefits of having a low risk of generating microbial resistance and being non-toxic to soils, workers and on-farm biological diversity.
“We are pleased with the results but not surprised,” said Dr. Agustin Buchert, Chief Science Officer at ClearLeaf. “They are consistent with our proven efficacy on more than 50 different fungal and bacterial pathogens in more than 40 crops. Strawberry growers in our Latin American markets use GotaBlanca specifically as a non-toxic strategy for Neopestalotiopsis, which also breaks resistance and reduces re-entry periods.”
The lead researcher, Dr. Natalia Peres at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center commented ““Growers need additional fungicide options for managing Neopestalotiopsis, and our objective was to evaluate how new products perform under Florida field conditions. GotaBlanca performed well in this trial and merits further evaluation.”
GotaBlanca is particularly relevant for strawberry growers because of how it works and what it does not leave behind. GotaBlanca does not interfere with plant metabolism or photosynthesis, so it supports crop vigor rather than costing yield. Its multi-site mode of action gives pathogens no single target to adapt to, so it presents a much lower risk of resistance development than products with a single-site mode of action. Because the formulation is non-toxic to workers, soil biology and on-farm beneficial organisms, it shortens or removes re-entry restrictions, allowing picking crews back into the block without interrupting harvest, and leaves no residue of regulatory concern for buyers and export markets.

White Oak Tree Expert Expands Professional Tree Care Services Across Maryland to Meet Growing Demand.
GLEN BURNIE, MD — White Oak Tree Expert recently announced expansion of their tree care services across Maryland due to the rising demand for safety-focused maintenance and property protection.
Glen Burnie, MD 21061, United States, 19th Aug 2026 – Property owners across Maryland face more pressure to maintain healthy trees. White Oak Tree Expert has built a strong presence in Glen Burnie and nearby counties. The company knows the region’s soil conditions, storm patterns, and common tree species. That local knowledge shapes every job they take on. The company aims to bring this same standard of care to more communities throughout the state.
Several factors are pushing demand higher this year. Storms across Maryland continue to damage trees and property, and aging landscapes need pruning, removal, or structural support. Routine maintenance is also important to keep healthy trees strong through changing seasons. Left unaddressed, these issues can turn into safety hazards or expensive repairs. Their tree care experts can catch problems early and protect both the tree and the property around it.
This expansion gives homeowners, businesses, and property managers more access to trained crews. Scheduling flexibility increases as the company adds capacity across its coverage area. Clients can now book routine trimming, storm cleanup, or full removals with less wait time. Commercial property managers overseeing multiple sites gain a single point of contact for recurring work. On the other hand, residential clients dealing with storm damage or hazardous limbs get faster response times. The added capacity means more Maryland properties can rely on White Oak Tree Experts for pruning, removal, stump grinding, and emergency service, instead of coordinating between several contractors.
Property owners interested in learning more can contact the company directly. It offers free estimates for residential and commercial projects. Staff can walk through tree health concerns, storm prep, or removal timelines during an on-site visit. Maryland residents can call or email to schedule an evaluation at a convenient time.

Leatherneck Tree Service Strengthens Community Ties Through Local Property Safety Initiatives.
ROCHESTER, PA — Leatherneck Tree Service, a tree service company serving Beaver, Butler, and Allegheny Counties, recently announced a renewed focus on local property safety education. The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to helping property owners protect their homes and build safer neighborhoods.
Rochester, PA 15074, United States, 19th Aug 2026 – Leatherneck Tree Service is a veteran-owned business based in Rochester, PA. The company has worked in the region for more than a decade. Its team understands local property concerns, from storm-damaged limbs to disease-prone trees. Western Pennsylvania’s shifting weather patterns bring real risk to homes and yards. The founders built the company to help neighbors keep their outdoor spaces safe through every season.
Community involvement plays a central role in property safety. Local businesses hold a unique position to educate homeowners about hazards before they become emergencies. Storm preparedness, routine maintenance, and early detection of tree disease all reduce risk to homes, vehicles, and power lines. Leatherneck Tree Service views this education as part of its role in the community, not an added service. Informed property owners make better decisions, and better decisions protect families and neighborhoods alike.
A locally based provider brings advantages that larger, out-of-area companies cannot match. Local Arborist professionals know the species common to the region, including oaks, maples, and poplars, along with the pests and diseases that threaten them. This knowledge shapes every recommendation the team makes. Storm patterns in western Pennsylvania vary by season, and local experience helps the company anticipate problems rather than react to them. Stronger ties between residents and local businesses tend to produce safer properties over time. Leatherneck Tree Service believes long-term relationships with customers lead to better tree care outcomes and fewer emergencies.
Homeowners, property managers, and residents across Beaver, Butler, and Allegheny Counties can contact the company to learn more about its property safety initiatives. The company offers guidance on storm readiness, tree health assessments, and preventative care. Property owners interested in scheduling a free estimate or asking questions about safety on their property are invited to reach out directly.
