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.

Technological Progress

PlatON

• The development of PlatON version 1.1.3 has been completed; the development network has been launched. Main progress: RPC and GraphQL now use the same port; the Ethereum reconstruction relating to the HTTP-server has also been updated;
• Mobile wallet ATON version 1.1.3 has been developed and is under testing; the new version is scheduled to go live in March. Main updates: Users will be able to click on a single ERC721-based NFT for a larger view; the address format will support EIP-55; walletConnect will be able to provide contract signatures;
• PlatON version 1.1.4 is under testing; the new version, which will support EIP-55 in terms of the address format, is scheduled to go live in March.

Alaya

• Alaya 0.17.0 version has been developed and is under functionality & stability testing. Main updates: Group consensus will be supported;
• The progress and updates of AlayaScan 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 versions are the same as PlatScan.

Hardware Wallet

• The testing of Ledger 2.0 version has been completed; the updated version, which mainly features functions like delegation and staking; is going through the listing process.
