PlatON is a new generation of privacy-preserving AI network initiated and driven by the LatticeX Foundation and is also an open-source community project. Such a huge infrastructure requires a joint effort from community developers. To encourage community developers to get more involved in the development and design of core infrastructure, the LatticeX Foundation launched the first phase of the Developer Bounty Program to reward those who provide basic services for PlatON and Alaya. Bounty #1 Review code and submit issues found in the code Description: Review the source code of PlatON…

PlatON, a global leader in the field of privacy-preserving computation, is happy to announce the release of Lumino, a two-month computation ceremony, promoting collaborative efforts in developing the privacy-preserving computation technology. Lumino is a trustless multi-party ceremony of generating “common reference strings” (CRS) for zero-knowledge proof systems, and a prior and necessary step to deploy privacy-preserving applications in decentralized ecosystems. The event now focuses on PLONK, which is an efficient zk-SNARKs algorithm and commonly used in the blockchain community, and only needs to perform once for many applications for its…

PlatON’s Giskard consensus protocol consists of PPoS (PlatON proof of stake), a probabilistic proof-of-stake consensus, and Giskard BFT (Giskard Byzantine Fault Tolerance). The PPoS selects the validators to participate in consensuses by staking, delegation, and random selection, while the Giskard BFT uses a BFT-like algorithm to implement block production and verification. In this feature, we will delve into two technical issues with two articles. The first article will briefly introduce the PPoS consensus and BFT theory, and analyze the characteristics of the PBFT algorithm. The second article will focus on…

PlatON, a privacy AI computing network, jointly announced a release of PlatON-based developer tool, PlatON Studio IDE, with the blockchain tech team Obsidian Labs. PlatON Studio is a powerful and easy-to-use graphical IDE developer tool to assist the development of smart contracts in PlatON and PlatON testnet Alaya, which is not only a pilot net for PlatON but also an independent public chain. At present, the tool supports contract development, deployment, and debugging on Alaya. For the next update, it will be able to support PlatON and nets switching by…

Recently, PlatON, a privacy AI computing network, announced a partnership with SubDAO, a PolkaDAO infrastructure, to realize the integration and interoperability of PlatON and SubDAO through multi-dimensional technical and ecological collaboration. As a DAO infrastructure based on Polkadot, SubDAO aims to help users participate in the governance and extension of DAO easily and conveniently. The project will provide all DAOs with the tools needed for governance, and at the same time achieve multi-asset management by leveraging Polkadot’s cross-chain ability, thus maximizing the yields of funds managed and deposited by DAO…

In the previous article：A randomized scheme for Validator Election in the PoS Consensus (1), we explained the problems of the validator selection and some of the existing solutions, and then this article will focus on the design objectives and implementation of PlatON. PlatON adopts the PPoS consensus mechanism to produce and sign blocks with a set of validators, providing guaranteed operation that is secure and efficient. The operation of the entire network is highly decentralized, and every stake-owner in the network can become a member of it, participating in the maintenance…

The development of the consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS is in face of a common problem — “who generates the blocks” and how to maintain the network operation securely and efficiently. We will use two articles to analyze in detail the challenges faced, as well as the existing solutions in the industry and the PlatON’s solution. Blockchain technology, as being decentralized, immutable, verifiable, and traceable, has been attached great significance by governments, financial institutions, and social organizations, etc. As the core of blockchain, the “consensus mechanism” determines the important…

By: Cryptoslate PlatON, a privacy-preserving AI network, has received 731 votes among a total of 907 for its mainnet launch with a support rate of over 80.60%, as per a recent release. What is PlatON? The project combines blockchain and privacy-preserving computation technologies to build a decentralized and collaborative AI network to drive the development of AI systems and build safe artificial general intelligence. It is initiated and driven by the LatticeX Foundation and provides a public infrastructure in open-source architecture for global artificial intelligence, distributed application developers, data providers and…

By: World Newswire In the Information Age, Data Becomes a New Factor of Productivity In economics, factors of production, also known as production inputs, are essential resources for the production of goods and services. In his epochal work “Principles of Economics”, famous British economist Marshall put forward the theory of four factors of production — land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial talent. National income (NI) is the reward of four factors, and that is, national income (NI) = labor wage (w) + land rent (r) + capital interest (i) + operating profit…

At 12:29 a.m. on April 25, 2021, Singapore time, the pre-deployed network creation block of Platon, a private AI computing network, was born and started producing blocks smoothly. In a sign of PlatON provids release process. Platon’s mainnet release will follow a community-driven model based on the concept of decentralized operation, and will only be released after the community has completed acceptance and voted approval of the pre-deployed network. After the pre-deployed network is released, it will be reviewed in stages for final review and initial allocation of LAT. At…

Recently, LatticeX Foundation officially kicks off the “PlatON-NFT” design solicitation event. Participants have the opportunity to gain exclusive non-fungible tokens (NFT) cast by the Foundation on PlatON, as well as generous prizes. Solicitation Rules and Selection Details LatticeX Foundation is now soliciting designs of NFT on the PlatON mainnet from communities, artists, creatives, and cryptocurrency designers. PlatON will issue different NFTs according to the specific identities. The NFTs solicited this time include the following types: Alaya node badge PlatON node badge PlatON Community Badge PlatON Mainnet Genesis badge From now…
