03
Why should we emphasize the importance of data privacy protection nowadays?
主持人：为什么我们现在要强调数据隐私保护的重要性?
Jason： Data is the oil of the digital economy, Data drives the development of other key digital technologies like AI、IOT，further influence the development of digital economy .
Take the AI for example , AI models must be “fed” with massive data to be more intelligent and powerful.
But as the replicability and visibility of data, once the data is given to others, even the owener can not control it.
So no one wants to share their core data, This restricts the circulation of data, also restricts the development of AI because it has not enough data to be fed.
That’s why we need to protect the privacy of data ,not only by law ,but also by technology.
PlatON will provides a data trading market built with privacy-preserving computation and blockchain technology, delievers secutrity compliant circulation of data assets
globally to truly unleash the value of data.
Jason：
数据是数字经济的“石油”，数据驱动着人工智能、物联网等其他关键数字技术的发展，进一步影响着数字经济的发展。
以人工智能为例，人工智能模型必须被“投喂”大量数据用于训练，才能变得更加智能和强大。
但是由于数据的可复制性和可见性，一旦数据给到了他人，即使是拥有者也将无法再控制它。
所以没有人愿意分享自己的核心数据，这限制了数据的流通，也限制了AI的发展，因为它没有足够的数据可以被用于训练。
这就是为什么我们需要保护数据的隐私，不仅要通过法律，还要通过技术。
PlatON将提供一个基于隐私计算技术和区块链技术的、符合安全标准的数据资产流通数据交易市场，在全球范围内真正释放数据的价值。
04
PlatON is always committed to protecting data privacy , How to achieve this goal?
主持人：PlatON一直致力于保护数据隐私，如何实现这一目标?
Jason：
PlatON proposes a data security solution based on VC(Verifiable Computing), MPC (Multi-Party Computation), and HE(homomorphic encryption). And, unlike traditional privacy computing solutions, PlatON is implemented through a combination of software and hardware technologies. The privacy computing task is initiated in the form of a smart contract on the chain, which is then compiled into a gate circuit through the PlatON meta-smart contract and disassembled into a series of orthogonal encrypted subcircuits to perform calculations on dedicated hardware.
The compute node submits a verifiable compute proof after the calculation is completed under the chain (the calculation can be verified according to the proof), and throughout the (calculation and data) interaction process, the compute node cannot know the actual meaning of the calculation process (nor does it know the original data), which is a very advanced technology implementation path in the field of private computing.
Jason：
PlatON提出了一种基于VC(Verifiable Computing)、MPC (Multi-Party Computing)和HE(homomorphic encryption)的数据安全解决方案。而且，与传统的隐私计算解决方案不同，PlatON是通过软件和硬件技术的结合来实现的。
隐私计算任务以链上智能合约的形式启动，通过PlatON的元智能合约编译成门电路，再分解成一系列正交的加密子电路，在专用硬件上进行计算。计算节点在计算完成后只需要提交一个在链下生成的可验证的计算证明(通过这个证明即可验证计算节点是否完成相应的计算任务)。在整个(计算和数据)的交互过程中,计算节点无法掌握实际的计算过程(也不知道原始数据),这是私有计算领域中非常先进的技术实现路径。
05
We know that there is another project of LatticeX foundation named Alaya , what’s the relationship between Alaya and PlatON？
主持人： 我们知道LatticeX基金会还有一个项目叫做Alaya, Alaya和PlatON是什么关系?
Jason：
Alaya is PlatON’s prelude, a bridge connecting distributed and traditional fifinance. While Alaya is positioned as an experiment and demonstration for innovative technology and distributed fifinance applications, PlatON will continue to grow as a distributed fifinancial infrastructure readily to serve global fifinancial institutions, central banks and partners in fifinancial inclusion. Eventually they will constitute a multi-layered distributed economic ecosystem.
Alaya and PlatON share the same root, based on the same powerful technology, and equally created with the expertise and dedication to become the next generation of distributed fifinancial infrastructure. However, any networks with such ambition are yet to face the sustained trial on their stability, security and scalability, Moreover, their compliance, user experience and compatibility must be fully tested. It is for this goal that Alaya is launched ahead of PlatON itself.
Being the latter’s vanguard, Alaya serves to validate the innovation and feasibility of PlatON based on real business performance and outcome.
Jason：
Alaya定位于创新型的技术与分布式金融的试验场和“先行示范区”，而PlatON将会更多审慎和建设性的定位于真正意义上的”分布式金融基础设施“，更加专注于服务于全球的金融机构和普惠金融。
Alaya与PlatON系出同源，基于同样强大的技术能力，也同样秉承金融基础设施从业者的专业积累与敬畏之心。但截至今天，任何一个矢志于成为全球下一代“分布式金融基础设施”的网络都仍然需要在技术的稳定性、安全性、可扩展性经受持续考验；更需要在业务的合规性、用户体验、兼容性等各个方面经过充分测试。
Alaya正是基于这个目标而提前于PlatON主网启动，作为PlatON的先锋与前驱，来基于真实业务验证PlatON作为新一代分布式金融基础设施的创新性与可行性。
06
What’s the native Token of PlatON? What’s the usage of it?
主持人： PlatON的原生通证是什么?有什么用呢?
Jason：
The native token of PlatON is called “LAT”. LAT is unique and important to PlatON, as following:
First, LAT fuels and secures PlatON
When you transfer LAT or use a PlatON application, you need to pay a small LAT as fee. The fee is used to incentivizes the node to process and verify your transaction.In the PPOS mechanism, LAT is of great importance to the network. With LAT, one can delegate to validators or become a validator by staking themselves, which help maintain PlatON network security. Both the validators and delegators can get LAT rewards.
Second, LAT acts as medium of data trading market
As a payment medium, LATs are used to settle trades in the PlatON market for data and computing power. Participants in the PlatON computation network earn LATs by providing data usage, computing power, and algorithms.
Last, LAT supports the development of PlatON DApp ecology
PlatON will further support the development of DApps and DeFi and introduce economic coupling designs for DApps and DeFi. For example, DApps can issue their own tokens which must be backed by LAT reserves. PlatON will also support the development of stable coins collateralized by LAT.
Jason：
PlatON的原生通证即“LAT”。
LAT对于PlatON来说是独特而重要的，其功能和作用主要体现在以下几个方面：
首先，LAT提供燃料并保障PlatON网络安全
当您发送LAT或使用PlatON应用程序时，您需支付一小笔LAT费用，这笔费用用于激励节点处理和验证您的交易。
在PPOS机制中，LAT对网络非常重要。LAT用来委托节点，或者自己质押成为验证节点，以此维护PlatON网络安全并获得LAT奖励。
其次，LAT可以作为数据交易市场的媒介
LAT作为支付媒介承担PlatON未来的数据和算力流通市场的清结算工具的重任。PlatON网络的参与者通过提供数据使用、计算能力和算法来赚取LAT。
最后，LAT是DApp生态发展的支撑
PlatON将支持DApps和DeFi的发展，引入DApps和DeFi的经济耦合设计。例如，DApps可以发行自己的Token，而DApp的Token必须以LAT储备金作为支持。PlatON还将支持开发以LAT为抵押的稳定币。
07
What’s the consensus mechanism of PlatON？
主持人：PlatON的共识机制是什么?
Jason：
The consensus mechanism of PlatON named “Giskard”, is an enhanced version of PoS(Proof of Stake).
It’s combined with PoS(Proof of stake)、VRF(Verifiable Random Function) and BFT(Byzantine Fault Tolerance).
simply speaking,
1.Elect 201 alternative nodes through PoS;
2.Elect 43 validator nodes from those alternative nodes through VRF;
3.Validator nodes product blocks in turns , then validate the blocks and reach a consensus through BFT.
That’s a method taking into account both decentralization and scalability.
Jason：
PlatON的共识机制名为“Giskard”，是基于PoS(Proof of Stake)的增强版本。
它是PoS(权益证明)、VRF(可验证随机函数)和BFT(拜占庭容错)等技术的结合。
简单地说,
1.通过PoS选择201个备选节点；
2.通过VRF从这些备选节点中选出43个验证节点；
3.验证节点依次生成区块，然后验证块并通过BFT达成一致。
这是一种同时兼顾了去中心化和可扩展性的方法。
08
Dose PlatON have a mining mechanism?And how to participate in ?
主持人：PlatON有挖矿机制吗?以及如何参与？
Jason：
As mentioned before,PlatON is a blockchain with the consensus of PoS, Unlike thoes PoW(Proof of Work) project like bitcoin，you don’t need massive hash calculation which consume too much energy.
There is another mechanism as know as staking, in which users with LATs can stake any node as they wish.
Whether a node can be selected as an validator mainly depends on the amount of total staking, which is composed of the staking of LAT of the node itself and the LAT delegated to it. Those nodes ranking top 201 can become alternative nodes.
The alternative nodes may have chance to product blocks and get the corrssponding reward.
The rewards are composed of staking rewards and block-producing rewards and are allocated to delegators in accordance with the delegating reward ratio.
Jason：
如前所述，PlatON是一个基于PoS共识的区块链网络。
它不像比特币这样的PoW(工作证明)项目，你不需要进行需要大量能源消耗的哈希计算。
它采用了另一种机制，也就是通常所说的”staking”，持有LAT的用户可以将LAT委托给任何自己中意节点。
一个节点是否可以能够成为验证节点主要取决于该节点质押的LAT的总量，这个总量是节点本身质押的LAT和用户委托给它的LAT的LAT的和。排名前201的节点可以成为备选节点。
备选节点可能有机会生成区块并获得相应的奖励。
该奖励包括staking奖励和出块奖励组成，并将按照委托比例分配给每一位委托给其的用户。
09
As a blockchain positioning as a public platform，Dose PlatON attach enough importance to ecological construction?And how’s the way?
翻译：作为区块链公共平台的定位，PlatON是否足够重视生态建设?具体是怎么做的呢?
Jason：
PlatON is positioned as a public Faas platform and infrastructure, PlatON has always attached great importance to the ecological construction.
In support of PlatON’s vision and mission, the LatticeX Foundation provides a grants program to fund projects that are conducive to the development of the ecosystem.
Individuals, teams and researchers are all welcome to submit inquiry form for the grants.

另外，已经有一些优秀的项目加入了生态。比如Dante，这是一个旨在保护数据存储过程中的隐私的项目，和PlatON非常互补(PlatON专注于计算过程中的隐私保护)。
目前，Dante已经对外发布了技术白皮书和经济白皮书，后续也将全力地支持PlatON的生态建设。
10
Is there any similarity between Ethereum and PlatON?
主持人：以太坊和PlatON之间有什么相似之处?
Jason：
PlatON uses distributed ledger to record things , and provide EVM(Ethereum Virtual Machine) for Dapps development , this is similar to Ethereum.
But PlatON has more advanced features.
First, PlatON provide WASM, which with more efficiency and scalability in performance than EVM.
Besides, with verifiable computing, Platon introduces off-chain computing capabilities to the blockchain, which in turn introduces cryptography techniques such as homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party computing to achieve private computing.
These making PlatON more powerful both in performance, scalability, and application scenarios (applies to ordinary scenario, and is suitable for the calculation of privacy protection scenario).
Jason：
PlatON使用分布式账本来记录事件，并为Dapps开发提供EVM(以太坊虚拟机)，这些方面与以太坊是类似的。
但是除此之外，PlatON支持更多高级的功能。
首先，PlatON提供了WASM虚拟机，它在性能上比EVM更高效、更具有可扩展性。
此外，在可验证计算的基础上，PlatON为区块链引入了链下的计算能力，并结合同态加密、安全多方计算等加密技术，实现了隐私计算。
这使得PlatON在性能、可扩展性和适用场景(既适用于普通场景，又适用于需要隐私保护的场景)方面都更加强大。
▌ 自由问答
预计 30 分钟的自由问答环节，在开始 5 分钟后就收到 5000 多份的问题，在眼花缭乱的同时，也感受到了国内外用户对PlatON项目的关注和热爱。
由于篇幅有限，这里精选五个问题展示
01
Why does PlatON use verifiable computation? What exactly is homomorphic encryption and how does it provide an advantage? What infrastructure does artificial intelligence provide for distributed applications?
翻译：为什么PlatON使用可验证计算?同态加密到底是什么，它如何提供优势?人工智能为分布式应用程序提供了什么基础设施?
Jason：
The main purpose of VC verifiable calculation is that everyone knows that the compute resource on the blockchain chain is limited, and it is an inevitable choice to extend the compute resource under the chain to serve the calculation on the chain, while VC ensures that the calculation under the chain is credible and verifiable. In Platon’s private computing technology system, VC is combined with MPC secure multi-party computing to ensure that the computing process of each computing node under the chain is verifiable.
For Platon HE homomorphic encryption, as we all know, the core of current AI technology is data. If the value of data can be brought into play (such as for AI model training, data mining, etc.) without data privacy being leaked, this is the advantage provided by homomorphic encryption. It can be processed on the data ciphertext, so that the data privacy is not disclosed, and the acquisition of data value is not affected.
Platon private AI computing network, provide Rosetta as privacy security and AI infrastructure. Rosetta’s message is all three in one: private computing + blockchain + AI.
Now the whole AI industry has encountered a big bottleneck: the data is relatively scattered, in order to improve the accuracy of the whole model, we must be able to get more data; But access to other people’s data is getting harder because of data privacy issues. The problems caused by this “contradiction” have been highlighted throughout the AI industry. Supporting privacy AI will largely alleviate the current “contradiction” in the AI industry, so there will be a huge emerging market.
Data is no longer less valuable the more it is copied, but more valuable the more it is used. Data can finally truly flow “safely” between different applications.
The first product to be built on top of the Rosetta framework will be Data Bank. Data banking is a data asset trading market, which takes all kinds of data production factors as the core service object, and combines privacy AI algorithm and Platon blockchain to create a distributed data asset trading platform.
The “utility” of data is the standard to reflect the value of data, and the embodiment of data utility cannot be separated from privacy computing.
Jason：
VC可验证计算的主要目的，是由于区块链链上计算算力有限，所以扩展链下算力服务于链上计算就成了必然的选择，而VC保证了链下的计算是可信的、可验证的。在PlatON隐私计算技术体系中，可验证计算是与MPC安全多方计算相结合的，保证每个链下计算节点的计算过程是可验证的。
对于PlatON HE同态加密，我们都知道，当前AI技术的核心是数据，在保证数据隐私不泄露的情况下，发挥出数据的价值（例如用于AI模型训练、数据挖掘等），这就是同态加密提供的优势。它能够实现在数据密文上进行处理，达到数据隐私不泄露的情况下，不影响数据价值的获取。
PlatON隐私AI计算网络，提供了具备隐私安全保障的AI基础设施Rosetta。Rosetta 的寓意是三者合一：隐私计算 + 区块链 + AI。
1.现在整个 AI 行业已经遇到一个大瓶颈：数据较为分散，为了提高整个模型的精度，则必须能够拿到更多的数据；但是由于数据隐私的问题，越来越难拿到别人的数据。这个“矛盾”带来的问题已经在 AI 整个行业突显出来。支持隐私 AI 能在很大程度上缓解现在 AI 行业的“矛盾”，因而也会存在着巨大的新兴市场。
2.数据不再是被拷贝的次数越多价值越低，而是使用的次数越多价值越高。数据最终可以真正“安全”地在不同的应用中流动。
3.基于 Rosetta 框架之上的第一个产品将会是数据银行（Data Bank）。数据银行是一个数据资产的交易市场，以各类的数据生产要素为核心服务对象，结合隐私 AI 算法、PlatON 区块链打造的分布式数据资产交易平台。
4.数据的“效用”才是体现数据价值的标准，而数据效用的体现离不开隐私计算。
02
A big problem today is the cost of developing on the blockchain. This is mainly due to the shortage of programmers who understand blockchain technologies, how could PlatON provide solutions to these types of problems?
翻译：今天的一个大问题是在区块链上开发的成本。这主要是由于缺乏了解区块链技术的程序员，PlatON如何为这些类型的问题提供解决方案?
Jason：
Although blockchain has been born for many years, practitioners all know that the it is still in the early stage of development and belongs to the sunrise industry. As we know, smart contracts have been a core property of blockchain ever since Ethereum kicked off the development of blockchain ecological applications. PlatON takes this very seriously, providing a dual engine mechanism of EVM and WASM smart contract, while its privacy computing technology architecture is closely integrated with WASM smart contract, which is a smart contract engine that can support multi-language development. That’s PlatON’s advantage to many technology developers.
Jason：
区块链虽然已经诞生了许多年，但从业者都了解，该行业仍然处于发展初期，属于朝阳产业。我们知道，从以太坊拉开了区块链生态应用发展的序幕开始，智能合约就成为了区块链的核心属性。PlatON对此非常的重视，提供了EVM、WASM智能合约双引擎的机制。同时，PlatON隐私计算技术体系，支持基于WASM智能合约的可验证合约、隐私合约，而WASM智能合约又是一种能够支持多语言开发的智能合约引擎。这是PlatON对许多技术开发者的优势。
03
Have 3 core issues prevalent in crypto and blockchain: Security, Interoperability, and Scalability. How does your project plan to overcome these issues?
翻译：在加密和区块链中普遍存在3个核心问题(不可能三角):安全性、互操作性和可伸缩性。您的项目计划如何克服这些问题?
Jason：
That’s a good question. These three aspects cannot be taken into account at the same time, at least in the current technological and cognitive conditions, even the most widely known Bitcoin, Ethereum (especially Ethereum 1.0), after so many years of development, has not been able to fundamentally solve the problem.
The security dimension is immovable, so further decentralization seems to mean a compromise on scalability?
Our best approach is not to add a lot of alternative nodes and validation nodes, which will inevitably cost efficiency, but to increase randomness, reduce reappointment, and join the audit system.
The so-called increase of randomness is to make the election of alternative nodes as random as possible. This is mainly for two purposes: one is to prevent the collusion of block producing nodes; the other is to prevent nodes from predicting the timing of their own election. To put it bluntly, it is to make people who want to do evil so caught off guard that they have no time to prepare to do evil;
The so-called reduction of reappointment means to prevent a node from becoming a block producing node continuously, that is to say, the time for it to master the right of speech is limited.
Called to join the audit system, and other verifier may alternate node ineffective supervision, and, after all, you all the time and energy is limited, not out of the blocks may not carefully check, but it does not matter, we can launch the power of the masses, let the potential evil node in a vast sea of the people’s war, any node can conduct audit and report of evil phenomenon, If verified, the reporting node can also get a corresponding reward, so that maintaining network security becomes everyone’s business.
Jason：
这是一个很好的问题。这三个方面无法同时兼顾，至少是在当前的技术水平和认知条件下，即使是最广为人知的比特币、以太坊(尤指以太坊1.0)，经过这么多年的发展，也没有能从根本上解决这个问题。
安全性这个维度是绝不能动的，那么要更进一步的实现去中心化，似乎意味着只能在可扩展性上进行妥协了？
我们最好的办法，不是大量的增加备选节点和验证节点，因为这必将带来效率上的损耗，而是增加随机性、减少连任、和加入审计制度。
1）所谓增加随机性，就是使得备选节点的选举的越随机越好，这样做主要是两个目的，一个是防止出块节点的串通，二是防止节点预测自己当选的时机，说白了，就是让想作恶的人猝不及防以至于来不及准备作恶；
2）所谓减少连任，就是防止某个节点连续成为出块节点，也就是让其掌握话语权的时间有限；
3）所谓加入审计制度，也许备选节点和其它验证者节点监督不力，毕竟大家时间精力都有限，不是自己出的块可能也不认真检查，但是没有关系，我们可以发动群众的力量，让潜在的作恶节点陷入人民战争的汪洋大海中，任意节点都可以对作恶现象进行审计和举报，如果经验证核实，举报的节点也可以获得相应的奖励，让维护网络安全，成为所有人的事情。
04
No matter how much do we fight, always appear that kind of users that just want to destroy, Scam or just bother everything, so can you tell us how do you protect yourself against them? There exist punishment to those Nodes that act dishonesty?
翻译：不管我们打了多少架，总是出现那种只想破坏、诈骗或是什么都麻烦的用户，那么你能告诉我们如何保护自己不受他们的伤害吗？对那些不诚实的节点有惩罚吗？
Jason：
In the decentralized environment, it is impossible to eradicate the evil of nodes. Platon deals with this problem in two ways:
The first point is to adopt the PPoS consensus mechanism, the principle of which has been explained in detail in the previous explanation of giskcard. In short, once the node is found guilty, it will be severely punished and lose its pledged token.
Secondly, through a complete set of privacy computing technology system (VC, MPC, he), and through the combination of hardware and software cryptography, Platon provides the infrastructure for trusted collaboration among multiple participants in a decentralized and untrusted environment, and provides a security mechanism technically.
Jason：
去中心化环境中，节点作恶是不可能根除的。PlatON通过两个方面来应对这个问题：
第一点，采用PPoS共识机制，其原理已经在前面Giskcard的讲解中详细说明。简单的讲，节点作恶一旦被发现，就会受到非常严厉的惩罚，将损失其质押的代币。
第二点，PlatON通过一整套隐私计算技术体系（VC、MPC、HE），通过软硬结合的密码学手段，提供了去中心化不可信环境中，多个参与方能够进行可信协同的基础设施，从技术上提供了安全保障机制。
05
How to become a PlatON Validator? What is the role of a validator on the PlatON network? What are the long-term benefits of validators?
翻译：如何成为PlatON验证器?验证器在PlatON网络中的角色是什么?验证者的长期利益是什么?
Jason：
The technical steps for becoming a validation node are detailed in：
Validation nodes are primarily used to participate in on-chain consensus and produce blocks.
Validation nodes can receive LAT incentives by producing blocks in the process of participating in the consensus.
Jason：
成为验证节点的技术步骤详细说明如下:
验证节点主要用于参与链上共识并产生区块。
验证节点可以通过在参与共识的过程中产生块来获得LAT激励。
