PlatON is the infrastructure of the privacy computing network and distributed economy. As a high-performance distributed computing network that focuses on scalability and privacy protection, PlatON aims to be the next generation of computing architecture assembled by cryptographic algorithms such as verifiable computing, secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proof, and homomorphic encryption, providing public infrastructure software development, consulting, and operation services under an open source architecture for global artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed application developers, data providers, as well as various communities, institutions, and individuals with computing needs. At present, PlatON technology has been applied in multiple fields such as medical treatment, credit investigation, advertising, AI, Internet of Things (IoT), payment and settlement, and key management.

Technological progress

The underlying chain:

The mainnet version is developed and tested.

  2. The bug of Android automatic update is fixed;
  3. Adaptation to the mainnet version of the underlying chain is completed;
  4. ATON management console functions;
  5. PRC 721 requirements are added.

The mainnet version of the blockchain explorer PlatScan has been developed and is under functional testing, with stability testing and performance testing completed. The updated version has the following new features:

  1. Adaptation to the mainnet version of the underlying chain is completed;
  2. Token ARC 20 is changed to PRC 20;
  3. PRC 721 requirements are added.
  4. The test for the mainnet version of the node management tool is completed.

Note: Peripheral tools are under code review this month.

News release

first public beta with rewards

On March 21, the first public beta with rewards before the launch of PlatON’s mainnet released, and it has been well-received among community users.

Cross-chain transfer bridge for PlatON and Polkadot — Platdot cross-chain project progresses

As a global distributed privacy AI network, PlatON is the underlying infrastructure that supports the transfer of data assets and crypto-assets. Free and low-friction asset flows between chains are the basic capabilities urgently needed. To this end, PlatON and ChainX have reached strategic cooperation to jointly promote Platdot.

The cross-chain solution provided by Platdot can realize the interconnection between PlatON and Polkadot, which boasts advanced cross-chain technology and a prosperous ecosystem. In this way, it breaks the islanding effect and makes the two complement each other for mutual prosperity in the ecosystem.

The Technological Changes Concerning Everyone That Are Generated by Privacy Computing | Thought on Cloud Atlas

Privacy computing is a computable model and axiomatic system for privacy measurement, privacy leakage cost, privacy protection and privacy analysis complexity when the ownership, management right and right of use concerning private information are separated. Privacy computing keeps data or computing methods “encrypted” and enables cooperation on computing without disclosing any information to other partners.

This way of using data for calculation in a secret state to achieve value is changing and will completely change the way the Internet and even human society operate.

[Technology] Analysis of Giskard Consensus Protocol

In the previous article, we analyzed the weighted proof-of-stake consensus method Giskard proposed by PlatON based on verifiable computing. In this article, we’ll continue to analyze the Giskard consensus protocol in detail.

Progress in the Ecosystem
