PlatON Developer Bounty Program (Phase-1)
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 Presents a Secure Multi-Party Computation Ceremony—— Lumino
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 Tech-Column]PlatON Consensus Protocol: From PBFT to Giskard (2) Giskard’s Optimization Ideas Explained
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 Tech-Column] A randomized scheme for validator election in the PoS consensus (2)
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…

[PlatON Tech-Column] A randomized scheme for Validator Election in the PoS Consensus (1)
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…

PlatON Aims To Become The Public Infrastructute Of Privacy Computing To Open Up Business Prospects For The Crypto Space
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…
