在3月23日中午12:00（UTC），PlatON Cross联合HOTBIT在海外举办了一场AMA活动，并邀请了PlatON Cross的联合发起人Leon作为嘉宾。
首先主持人邀请Leon做了自我介绍并就PlatON相关问题进行解答。
主持人：
1. 能否请您简要介绍一下自己和PlatON？
Can you please have a short introduction about yourself and PlatON?
Leon：
大家好，我是PlatON Cross的联合发起人。PlatON Cross是一个致力于建设和促进“ PlatON”生态建设的人们组成的社区。我们致力于社区建设，文化交流，技术共享，节点建设及其他相关方面的方式，旨在为隐私计算技术的发展和增长做出贡献。
Hello all, I am the originator of PlatON Cross. PlatON Cross is the community and homeland for people who is dedicated to building and promoting the ecological construction of ‘PlatON’.We are focusing on ways like community building, cultural exchange, technology sharing, node construction and other related aspects, aiming to contribute to the development and growth of the privacy computing technology.
通俗地说，PlatON是一个具有隐私计算功能的公链，其已经具有世界领先的加密功能，且业务逻辑已完全商业化，可以为用户提供运营商级服务。PlatON将自己定位为私有计算网络和分布式经济基础架构，PlatON已经达到了私有计算领域的最前沿，并且在大型分布式系统方面拥有多年的实践经验。
Colloquially, PlatON is a public chain featuring privacy computing, with world-leading cryptography capabilities, the business logic of which is completely commercialized as a starting point to provide users with carrier-grade services. PlatON positions itself as a private computing network & distributed economy infrastructure. PlatON have reached the forefront of exploration in the field of private computing and had many years of practical experience in large-scale distributed systems.
最重要的是，对支持大规模数据资产交易的基础架构有深刻的了解和实践。预计基于区块链和隐私计算的数据市场建设可以为世界带来一万亿美元的新市场。
Most importantly, we have a deep understanding and practice of the infrastructure supporting large-scale data asset transactions. Conduction of the construction of the data market based on blockchain and privacy calculations can bring a trillion-dollar new market to the world.

2. PlatON核心技术有哪些具体优势？
What are the specific advantages of PlatON's core technology?
Leon：
与其他公共区块链不同，PlatON采用更高级的密码算法来解决区块链系统的可扩展性和隐私性问题。除了区块链系统之外，PlatON的更重要成就是全新的计算范例-无信任计算网络，这是一种区块链基础设施，不仅可以被其他公共链使用，还可以被其他分布式系统（例如分布式AI）使用。PlatON的核心技术包括：可验证的计算：可将PlatON的可验证计算（VC）加密算法视为转移信任链的桥梁，通过它可以无限扩展计算能力。
Different from other public blockchains, PlatON adopts more advanced cryptographic algorithms to solve the scalability and privacy problems of the blockchain system. Beyond a blockchain system, the more important achievement of PlatON is the brand-new computing paradigm-Trustless Computing Network, a blockchain infrastructure that could be used not only by other public chains but also by other distributed systems, for instance, Distributed AI.The core technologies for PlatON include the followings:Verifiable Computing:The Verifiable computing (VC) cryptography algorithm of PlatON can be assumed as the bridge to transfer trust off-chain, through which the computing power can be expanded infinitely.
隐私计算：
通过叠加同态加密（he）和多方安全计算（MPC），PlatON可以实现真正的隐私计算，并确保输入数据以及计算逻辑本身的隐私。与依赖第三方制造商或TEE的可信硬件的可信计算相比，PlatON上的不可信计算几乎不依赖可验证的加密假设，因此可提供前所未有的私有数据安全性，而在其生命周期中没有可信边界。
Privacy Computing:
Through superposing Homomorphic Encryption (he) and Multi-party Secure Computation (MPC), PlatON achieves real privacy computing and ensures the privacy of input data as well as the computing logic itself. Compared with the trusted computations relying on trusted hardware from third-party manufacturers or TEE, trustless computing on PlatON relies barely on verifiable cryptographic assumptions, thus and thus provides unprecedented private data security without trust boundary in its life cycle.
从区块链技术的角度来看，出于安全考虑，PlatON使用VRF来增加随机性，使用BFT型共识来支持拜占庭容错，并施加经济惩罚。
在每个共识周期中，通过VRF从更大范围的节点中随机选择参与BFT共识的验证节点，并通过并行算法提高BFT共识的效率。这些是分散和可伸缩性之间取得平衡的结果。
From the perspective of blockchain technology, PlatON uses VRF to increase randomness, uses BFT-type consensus to support Byzantine fault tolerance, and imposes economic penalties. These are all for security considerations.
In each consensus cycle, the verification nodes participating in the BFT consensus are randomly selected from a larger range of nodes through the VRF, and the efficiency of the BFT consensus is improved through the parallel algorithm. These are the results of the balance between decentralization and scalability.
另外，从测试网络上最新性能测试的结果来看：在具有常见的硬件配置（例如4核8G内存）的节点下可以实现的普通转移交易的TPS已超过4,500，智能合约交易的TPS已超过2,000。如果部署性能更高的节点服务器，结果将更好。同时，PlatON仍在进行持续的性能优化，并将每周开始测试。
Plus, from the results of our latest performance test on the test network: the TPS of ordinary transfer transactions has exceeded 4,500, and the TPS of smart contract transactions has exceeded 2,000. This result is achieved under a node with a more common hardware configuration such as 4-core 8G memory. If a node server with higher performance is deployed, it will be even better. At the same time, we are still carrying out continuous performance optimization and will start testing every week.
主持人：
3. 为什么PlatON可以成为区块链商业基础设施？
Why can PlatON become a blockchain commercial infrastructure?
Leon：
首先，从基础的角度来看，我们认为如果区块链只是为了解决当前的金融问题，那么它是无效的或低效的。区块链最终将被用来支持真正意义上的“数据资产”，否则，它将没有足够的商业价值。
目前，由于区块链本身的结构限制：性能和隐私，区块链在过去几年的发展过程中遇到了巨大的障碍。
First of all, from the perspective of foundation, we believe that it is ineffective or inefficient if the blockchain is only to solve the current financial problems. The blockchain will eventually be used to support “data assets” in the true sense, otherwise, it will not have sufficient commercial value.
At the moment, due to the structural limitations: performance and privacy, of the blockchain itself, the blockchain has encountered great obstacles in the development process in the past few years.
一是不适合重或复杂计算，性能是企业应用的瓶颈；其次，智能合同没有真正实现智能；第三，没有真正的隐私保护，公司不愿共享数据。
基于这三个问题，PlatON的总体设计目标是建立一个真正的基础设施。其中，区块链只是下一代计算体系结构的一个组成部分。它完全解耦了共识和计算，并添加了一个单独的计算层，以支持更丰富和更复杂的私有计算、私有存储和私有通信，从而提高了性能，并支持了商业应用程序。
First, it is not suitable for heavy or complex calculations, and performance is the bottleneck of enterprise applications; Second, smart contracts have not truly realized intelligence; Third, there is no real privacy protection, and companies are unwilling to share their data.
Based on these three issues, PlatON’s overall design goal is to establish a true infrastructure. Among these, the blockchain is only a component of the next-generation computing architecture. It completely decouples consensus and computing and adds a separate computing layer to support richer and more complex private computing, private storage, and private communication, thereby improving the performance, and supporting commercial applications.

4.PlatON强调AI +计算，这有什么特点？
PlatON emphasized AI+ calculation. What are the characteristics of this?
Leon：
在AI方面，PlatOn的密码学团队发布了基于密码多方安全计算技术的隐私AI框架Rosetta，为人工智能行业提供了可行的解决方案，该行业在全球环境中面临着对数据泄漏和隐私保护的日益增长的要求，越来越难以获得数据资源，以及传统数据采集方法的遵从性存在巨大问题。
In terms of AI, PlatON’s cryptography team released Rosetta, a privacy AI framework based on cryptographic multi-party secure computing technology, to provide a feasible solution for the AI industry, which is facing the increasing requirements for data leakage and privacy protection in the global environment, and becoming more and more difficult to obtain data resources, as well as huge problems in the compliance of traditional data acquisition methods.
Rosetta是Github网站的开源网站，您可以访问这里：
主持人：
5. Alaya和PlatON之间有什么区别？
What is the difference between Alaya and PlatON?
Leon：
Alaya是新一代金融基础设施的基本原型和“商业沙箱。Alaya位于分布式密码经济中，为本地分布式金融应用程序提供开放服务；它致力于为开发人员、节点、数据提供商和其他参与者应用程序“沙箱”提供安全、高性能和可伸缩的分布式金融”。
Alaya也是世界下一代隐私计算架构和数据资产计算基础设施的“先锋示范区。PlatON将提供更多的工具和应用程序来启动基于隐私计算的数据资产的发行和交易，鼓励更多的数据所有者、需求者和算法提供者参与，共同构建数据元素全流通服务基础设施。
Alaya is the basic prototype and “business sandbox” of a new generation of financial infrastructure. Alaya is positioned in a distributed crypto-economy to provide open services for native distributed financial applications; it is committed to providing secure, high-performance, and scalable distributed finance for developers, nodes, data providers, and other participants Application “sandbox”.
Alaya is also a “pioneer demonstration zone” for the world’s next-generation privacy computing architecture and data asset computing infrastructure.PlatON will provide more tools and applications to initiate the issuance and transaction of data assets based on privacy computing, encourage more data owners, demanders, and algorithm providers to participate, and jointly build a data element full circulation service infrastructure.
Alaya的发布表明已从研发阶段和技术测试网络阶段正式进入应用验证阶段。它不是一个通常意义上的“测试网络”。它已经是一个独立的“数字生活机构”，将继续独立存在，并保持独立的社区治理和社区。
The release of Alaya marks that PlatON has officially entered the application verification stage from the R&D stage and the technical test network stage. It is not a “test network” in the usual sense. It is already an independent “digital life body” that will continue to exist independently and maintain independent community governance and communities.

6. 用户如何从PlatON系统获得奖励？
How do users get rewards from the PlatON system?
Leon：
在主网上线之前，欢迎大家参加PlatON和合作伙伴组织的各种类型的社区活动，以赢得主网 LAT奖励。例如，今天的活动将获得主网LAT奖励。随着主网启动的临近，PlatON还有大量的测试工作和社区建设工作要做，因此会有很多相关活动，欢迎大家积极参与。
主网联机后，每个人都可以使用其持有的LAT委派验证节点。验证节点获得的区块奖励和权益奖励将按照其预设比例奖励分配给所有委托给它们的LAT用户。这也是PoS的质押模式，每个人都可以参与。主网络LAT还将承担用于网络中数据交易流通的清算和结算工具的责任，在PlatON的经济模型设计中也有非常明确的陈述。
Before the mainnet goes live, everyone is welcome to participate in various types of community activities organized by us and PlatON’s partners to win mainnet LAT rewards. For example, today’s event will have mainnet ATP rewards to give back to everyone. With the launch of the mainnet approaching, PlatON still have a lot of testing work and community building work to do, so there will be a lot of related activities, everyone is welcome to participate actively.
After the mainnet is online, everyone can use the LAT they hold to delegate the verification nodes. The block rewards and staking rewards obtained by the verification nodes will be distributed to all LAT users entrusted to them in accordance with their preset proportions. reward. This is also the staking model of PoS, and everyone can participate.
主网络LAT也将用于加强区块链内的经济活动与区块链支持的经济活动之间的耦合关系（包括数据和计算能力流通市场，以及DApp和DeFi等）。所有这些应用系统的需求将使LAT不断获取价值。主网络LAT也将用于加强区块链内的经济活动与区块链支持的经济活动之间的耦合关系（包括数据和计算能力流通市场，以及DApp和DeFi等）。所有这些应用系统的需求将使LAT不断获取价值。
The main network LAT will also assume the responsibility of a clearing and settlement tool for data transaction circulation in the network, there is also a very clear statement in our economic model design. The main network LAT will also be used to strengthen the coupling relationship between economic activities within the blockchain and the economic activities supported by the blockchain (including data and computing power circulation markets, as well as DApp and DeFi, etc.). The requirements of all these application systems will enable LAT to continuously capture value.
主持人：
7. 简要介绍PlatON生态系统的现状？
Briefly introduce the current situation of PlatON's ecosystem?
Leon：
基本网络启动后，PlatON将基于Grants计划重点推动生态建设，包括积极开发DApp和DeFi，这将不断丰富主网络生态。
目前，已有22多个项目获得了PlatON赠款。例如LATFinance质押的第一阶段，该阶段可以通过明智的策略帮助ALaya网络和用户最大限度地提高ATP令牌佣金的收入。整个过程的推行具有高度的透明度，可靠性，可用性以及获利可能。
After the launch of the basic network, it will focus on promoting ecological construction based on the Grants plan, including active development of DApp and DeFi, which will and continuously enrich the main network ecology.
At present, 22+ projects have entered the PlatON Grant. Such as the first phase of LATFinance’s Staking, which can help the ALaya network and users maximize the revenue of ATP token commission through smart strategies. This is complete with transparency, reliability, high availability, and enhanced revenue.
相信在Leon简单的分享过后不仅是对PlatON Cross团队还是对PlatON项目都有了更深的认识与了解。
接下来就是自由问答环节
（部分提问截图）
由于篇幅有限，这里从众多问题当中筛选十个进行展示，并做出回答。
Roky Roks：
1.据我所知，一个强大的社区对每个项目都是非常重要的。您计划成为一个本地项目还是全球项目？将使用什么策略来扩大社区？
As I know a strong community is very important for every project. Do you plan to be a local or global project? What strategy will be used to expand the community?
Leon：
PlatON正在计划建立一个全球生态系统。使PlatON更适合当地社区。一句话的概述是做你住在乡村的事情。
PlatON are planning to build a global ecology. for making PlatON more suitable for the local community. A one-sentence overview is to do as you live in the countryside.
Mike：
一是不适合重或复杂计算，性能是企业应用的瓶颈；其次，智能合同没有真正实现智能；第三，没有真正的隐私保护，公司不愿共享数据。

2.PlatON的主要工作和任务是什么？
What is the main job and mission of the PlatON?
Leon：
PlatON致力于构建下一代隐私计算体系结构和数据交换网络。基于现代密码学和区块链技术，打造全新的计算范式。在保证用户数据隐私的前提下，可以进行协同计算，在不依赖第三方的情况下完整性。
PlatON is committed to building a next-generation privacy computing architecture and data exchange network. Based on modern cryptography and blockchain technology to create a new computing paradigm. Under the premise of ensuring user data privacy, collaborative calculations can be performed and the integrity of the results can be verified without relying on a third party.
Helal Udden：
3.现在有很多超级黑客，所以安全、可伸缩性和数据隐私是企业级非常重要的三个方面，PlatON基金会如何处理这些问题？
Now have many super hackers so security, scalability, and data privacy are three aspects that are very important at enterprise level, how PlatON foundation handle these issues?
Leon：
PlatON提出了一种基于可验证计算、安全多方计算和同态加密的数据安全解决方案。
此外，与传统的隐私计算解决方案不同，PlatON是通过软件技术和硬件技术的结合在技术上实现的。计算任务将在链上以智能合约的形式提出，然后将任务编译成一个门电路，然后分解成一系列子电路，所有子电路都是正交加密的。
PlatON proposes a data security solution based on verifiable computing, secure multi-party computing, and homomorphic encryption.
Moreover, unlike traditional privacy computing solutions, PlatON is technically implemented through a combination of software technology and hardware technology. The calculation task will be raised in the form of a smart contract on the chain, and then the task will be compiled into a gate circuit, and then disassembled into a series of sub-circuits, all of which are orthogonally encrypted.
Mike：
计算方在完成链下计算后提交可验证的计算凭证（可以按凭证要求完成计算），计算方在整个（计算和数据）交互过程中无法知道计算过程的实际意义（也不可能知道原始数据），这是计算领域非常先进的技术路径。
The computing power provider submits a verifiable calculation voucher after completing the calculation under the chain (you can check whether the calculation is completed as required by the voucher), and the computing power provider cannot know the actual meaning of the calculation process during the entire (calculation and data) interaction process (It is also impossible to know the original data), this is a very advanced technological path in the field of computing.
Morgan Kevin：
4.DeFi德是区块链领域最热门的话题之一。你能和我们分享你对DeFi的看法吗？
DeFi is one of the hottest topics in the blockchain field. Can you share your opinion about DeFi with us?
Leon：
是的，PlatON当然支持DeFi项目。金融领域是隐私计算的重要应用场景之一。目前，PlatON的元网上有相应的DeFi项目，如：ABank，主要资产跨链，可以在PlatON上实现ETH和ERC20令牌的使用；Keyshard，基于安全多方计算实现数字资产托管，将为DeFi协议合作伙伴提供更安全、灵活、易用的数字资产托管SaaS服务等。
Yes, PlatON certainly supports Defi projects. The financial field is one of the important application scenarios for privacy computing. Currently, there are corresponding DeFi projects on PlatON’s meta-network , such as: ABank, the main asset cross-chain, can realize the use of ETH and ERC20 Token on PlatON; and Keyshard, which implements digital asset custody based on secure multi-party computing, will provide more secure, flexible, and easy-to-use digital asset custody SaaS services for DeFi agreement partners in the future, etc.
Crypto Lover：
5.这个社区对PlatON有多重要？2022年的蓝图是什么？
How important is the community to PLATON? What is roadmap for 2022?
Leon：
社区是必不可少的，PlatON目前正在进行全面的生态和社区发展。在不久的将来，你可以参加各种方式，如加入社区、工作组和参加社区大使。平台鼓励所有参与者在以下方面为平台生态和社区建设做出贡献：基本技术特征、可伸缩性项目、隐私和工具项目以及教育社区等。
Community is essential, PlatON is currently undergoing comprehensive ecological and community development. In a short future, you can participate in various ways such as joining communities, working groups and participating in community ambassadors. PlatON encourages all participants to contribute to PlatON ecology and community construction in the following aspects: Basic technical characteristics, Scalability projects, Privacy and tools items, and Education community, etc.

6.你能列出你的项目的1-3个杀手锏，使它领先于竞争对手吗？您的平台所拥有的对您最有信心的竞争优势是什么？
Can you list 1-3 killer features of Your Project that makes it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?
Leon：
目前，大多数区块链项目都在解决区块链可扩展性问题。可归纳为两种扩展方案：
第一层：优化块链的基本协议，以提高可伸缩性。
第二层：扩展主链顶部的第二层协议，以获得可伸缩性。
与其他公共链不同，PlatON使用更先进的密码算法来解决区块链系统的可伸缩性和隐私问题。平台不仅是一个区块链系统，而且更多的是一种新的计算范式——一个不信任的计算网络，这种基础设施可以被其他公共链以及分布式AI等其他分布式系统使用。
At present, most blockchain projects are solving the problem of blockchain scalability. It can be summarized into two types of expansion schemes:
Layer1: Optimize the basic protocol of the blockchain for better scalability.
Layer2: Extend the second layer protocol on top of the main chain to gain scalability.
Unlike other public chains, PlatON uses more advanced cryptographic algorithms to solve the scalability and privacy issues of the blockchain system. PlatON is not only a blockchain system but more a new computing paradigm -A trustless computing network, This infrastructure can be used by other public chains, as well as by other distributed systems such as distributed AI.
Hello WY：
7.我看到安全和隐私是你的平台的主要特点，这是很好的。可以详细地告诉我们，您的团队开发了哪些可编程技术和安全来让平台非常安全？
Tell us in details about what programmable technology & security developed by your team to build the platform very secure?
Leon：
PlatON实施的核心技术是：
可核实计算：
PlatON的可验证计算(VC)密码算法作为传递信任链的桥梁，计算能力可以通过链无限扩展。
隐私计算：
PlatON通过叠加同态加密(HE)和安全多方计算(MPC)实现真正的私有计算，保证了输入数据和计算逻辑本身的隐私。与依赖第三方制造商提供的可信硬件或TEE来计算完整性的可信计算相比，PlatON上的无信任计算只依赖于可伪造的密码假设，从而在其生命周期中提供了前所未有的隐私。数据安全，没有信任边界。
The core technologies implemented by PlatON are:
Verifiable calculation:
PlatON’s Verifiable Computing (VC) cryptography algorithm acts as a bridge to pass trust to the chain, and the computing power can be expanded indefinitely through the chain.
Privacy calculation:
PlatON realizes true private computing by superimposing homomorphic encryption (HE) and secure multi-party computing (MPC), ensuring the privacy of input data and the computing logic itself. Compared with trusted computing that relies on trusted hardware or TEE provided by third-party manufacturers for computing integrity, Trustless computing on PlatON only relies on falsifiable cryptographic assumptions, thus providing unprecedented privacy during its life cycle. Data security, there is no trust boundary.
Jasmin Ja：
8.我是一名开发人员，我有兴趣为您的项目贡献收入，您有任何BugBounty来检查漏洞吗？
I’m a developer, and I’m interested in contributing to your project alongsides earning, Do you have any Bug Bounty to check for vulnerabilities?
Leon：
是的，PlatON有一个全面的赠款计划，为生态捐款者，并为各种高质量的项目提供资金和资金，这些项目服务于这一概念。
Yes we do, PlatON also have a comprehensive grant plan for eco-contributors and provide funding and funding for various high-quality projects that serve the concept.
Niketta：
9.那么能告诉我们你和你的名字之间的目的或关系是什么吗？
So can you tell us what is the purpose or relationship between you and your name?
Leon：
PlatON 这个英文名字的重要来由之一，是追向古希腊伟大的哲学家，也是全部西方哲学乃至整个西方文化最伟大的哲学家和思想家之一—— 柏拉图 的崇高致敬。
从莱布尼茨对于世界的计算属性和治理属性思考，从而给出的「 共和国」一词出发，回溯到对于技术与治理的源头，最终选择了 PlatON 来作为我们的名称和理念。
One of the important reasons for choosing the name of PlatON is to express our noble tribute to Plato, the great philosopher of ancient Greek, and one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of all Western philosophy and even the entire Western culture.
Besides, starting from Leibniz’s thinking about the computing and governance properties of the world, and then giving the term “republic”, considering back to the source of technology and governance, we chose PlatON as our name and philosophy.
ToAn：
10.你为什么要建立PlatON，你开始这个项目的动机是什么？PlatON项目吸引投资者的兴趣有什么区别？
Why did you build PlatON, what was your motivation to start this project? What is the difference between the PlatON project to attract the interest of investors?
Leon：
PlatON将自己定位为私有计算网络和分布式经济基础设施。作为PlatON Cross的联合发起人，我们确实认为任何个人和任何对象的隐私都是神圣不可侵犯的，因此，保护数据隐私是另一种类型的数据共享。所以隐私保护是光明的未来。
PlatON positions itself as a private computing network & distributed economy infrastructure. As the originator of PlatON Cross, we do believe the privacy of any individual and any object is sacrosanct, thus, and protect the data privacy is another type of data sharing. So privacy protection is the bright future.
我们一直致力于构建和推动PlatON全球生态建设，未来会有更多的社区活动，让更多的海外用户加深对PlatON的了解，同时也亲身参与到社区的建设当中。
