PlatON, initiated and driven by the LatticeX Foundation, is a next-generation Internet infrastructure protocol based on the fundamental properties of blockchain and supported by the privacy-preserving computation network. “Computing interoperability” is its core feature. By building a computing system assembled by Verifiable Computation, Secure Multi-Party Computation, Zero-Knowledge Proof, Homomorphic Encryption and other cryptographic algorithms and blockchain technology, PlatON provides a public infrastructure in open source architecture for global artificial intelligence, distributed application developers, data providers and various organizations, communities and individuals with computing needs.

👉LatticeX Foundation Reached Strategic Partnership with xNFT Protocol

Recently, xNFT Protocol and LatticeX Foundation sought and promoted to reach a deep consensus with PlatON for fully integrating its product matrix into PlatON’s ecosystem, so as to enrich the products system of PlatON NFT with DigiCenter Digital Collection Wallet, xNFT Oracle Price Prediction Machine, NFTPark On-Chain Encryption Art Gallery, etc., and endow both platforms and products more underlying innovation and business value by working together.

Technical Progress

Alaya underlayer plans to release version 0.16.0. The version is developed together with the community to mainly solve the following problems and demands:

1. Fixed the erroneous node information caused by the total weight error (see issue-1654) when a node is re-returned to the validator after being locked with a zero-out block penalty;

2. Fixed the issue of having to pass in gasPrice for the prediction of a governance contract when predicting the gas interface (see issue-1758);

3. The issue of occasional return of error code -32000 when calling (see issue-1769);

4. The error of judgment logic of the extra field of the Genesis block (see issue-1757);

5. Fixed the problem of BAD BLOCK after node fast sync failure (see issue-1783);

6. Fixed the problem of wrong platon_caller value when WASM is called across contracts (see issue-1779);

7. Fixed the problem of account errors caused by the inability of claiming delegate earnings (see issue-1583);

8. The node process name was changed from platon to alaya, and the parameter — alaya is no longer need to be specified in the start command;

9. Optimized the transaction propagation strategy by sending transaction hash values for nodes that do not broadcast transactions directly (see issue-1780);

10. Supported the feature of RPC returning the chainid (see EIP-695);

11. Adjusted the expectation value of the cumulative binomial distribution function based on the community’s proposal on the random election of nodes for block generation on the Alaya network (refer to issue-1785).
