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.

Caladan Launches API Liquidity: Institutional Access to Aggregated Digital Asset Liquidity Across 100+ Tokens
Singapore, May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Institutional counterparties can now access executable streaming prices and RFQ liquidity for spot and perpetuals on 100+ digital assets through the Caladan API, launched today by Caladan, the largest Asia-headquartered market maker for digital assets.
1.png)
Built on nearly a decade of active trading, Caladan continuously aggregates pricing and depth from 20+ on-chain protocols, 47+ centralised exchange integrations, and bilateral relationships. The result is a single pricing feed that delivers tighter spreads, higher fill rates, and full depth on long-tail tokens.
“Fragmentation is the defining liquidity challenge in digital assets today. A single exchange, a single counterparty, or a single OTC desk will always have an incomplete view of price and depth. We have spent nine years building the infrastructure to see the whole market simultaneously, and API Liquidity makes that infrastructure available to institutional participants through a single API connection.” – John Gu, CEO, Caladan
Why aggregation produces better pricing
Digital asset liquidity is highly fragmented across centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, regional venues, bilateral broker-dealers, and OTC desks. Caladan’s sourcing model is the commercial differentiator. The firm facilitates over $170 billion in annual trading volume across more than 100 assets, which means its pricing engine is continuously calibrated against a wider range of market signals. The more heterogeneous the sourcing — on-chain, off-chain, bilateral, and platform-routed simultaneously — the tighter the spread and the deeper the available size at any given price point.
The broadest token coverage of any market maker
API Liquidity provides access to the top 100 tokens — the widest token coverage available from any market maker globally. Coverage spans spot and perpetuals.
For institutional participants managing diversified digital asset portfolios or building crypto-embedded products, this breadth eliminates the need to maintain multiple liquidity provider relationships to cover the full token universe.
Flexible connectivity and settlement
API Liquidity is designed for immediate integration with minimal development overhead. Counterparties can connect through the channel that fits their existing workflow:
-
Direct API: Native FIX connectivity (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) for firms that prefer a direct bilateral connection
-
Platform partners: Desks already connected to Talos, Finery Markets, or CrossX can access Caladan liquidity with no additional integration work
Settlement is handled through institutional partners, with options for fiat and stablecoins:
-
Hidden Road and BitGo Go Network for custodial settlement
-
Customers Bank CUBIX for fiat settlement in USD
-
USDT and USDC settlement available directly
Competitive credit and margin terms are available for qualifying counterparties. Fiat currency pairs including EUR and JPY are in development, with additional currencies in the pipeline.
About Caladan
Caladan is Asia’s largest digital asset market maker, headquartered in Singapore with teams across seven global offices. Since 2017, Caladan has facilitated over $170 billion in annual trading volume, operating across 65+ exchanges worldwide.

AI Studios Launches Context-Aware Expressive TTS with 1,000+ AI Voices
Emotionally intelligent text-to-speech engine reads context automatically — no manual tags required
Palo Alto, Calif, May 26th 2026, AI Studios, the AI video and voice synthesis platform by DeepBrain AI (CEO Jay Jang), today announced a significant upgrade to its expressive text-to-speech (TTS) engine, delivering emotionally intelligent AI voices that automatically adapt tone, pacing, and delivery to match the context of any content.

The global TTS market is projected to surpass $104 billion by 2034, driven by surging demand for AI voices that sound human — not synthetic. AI Studios’ upgraded engine addresses this directly, moving beyond flat narration to produce voices that interpret meaning, carry emotion, and perform with the nuance of a trained voice actor.
The system requires no manual instruction tags. Rather than relying on preset emotion labels, the AI reads punctuation, sentence structure, and semantic context to automatically apply the most fitting tone and delivery. A sentence that builds dramatic tension sounds different from one that announces breaking news — even without any additional prompting. Subtle vocal textures like whispers, laughter, and breath are also rendered with precision, adding depth and realism that standard TTS cannot replicate.
To serve a wide range of creators and use cases, AI Studios offers more than 1,000 AI voices organized by content category — news, audiobooks, short-form video, live commerce, and education. Each category is tuned for its context: news voices carry authority and clarity, audiobook narrators build emotional arcs, short-form and live commerce voices drive engagement and urgency, and education voices balance warmth with precision. Creators can find the right voice immediately, without recording sessions or audio editing.
The expressive TTS engine integrates with AI Studios’ custom avatar and AI voice cloning services. Combined with the platform’s digital human technology — which replicates a person’s face, expressions, and gestures — the result is video content nearly indistinguishable from a real person on camera. Brands and educators can also clone a specific speaker’s voice and personality, building a consistent AI voice talent that scales across every piece of content without additional studio time.
“We’re moving past AI that recites text,” said Jay Jang, CEO of DeepBrain AI. “Expressive TTS that reads context and performs accordingly is the new baseline — and it changes what’s possible across audiobooks, short-form video, AI avatars, and beyond.”
AI Studios serves clients across finance, education, media, public services, and marketing, providing tools for AI avatar creation, AI voice synthesis, dubbing, and text-to-video production. The platform is developed by DeepBrain AI, a South Korean generative AI company.
About DeepBrain AI
DeepBrain AI is a global leader in AI Avatar, AI Agent, and AI Human technology. Its flagship B2B SaaS platform, AI Studios, helps enterprises create hyper-realistic AI avatars, real-time avatar agents, and localized video content at scale. Based in Palo Alto, Calif., DeepBrain AI serves enterprise customers worldwide.
