PlatON and Mask Network have reached a strategic cooperation to jointly promote the commercial implementation in the field of privacy computing

Recently, the privacy computing network and distributed economic infrastructure PlatON announced a comprehensive strategic partnership with Mask Network. The two parties will continue to deepen cooperation in various aspects such as blockchain underlying technology, cryptographic research, infrastructure construction, ecosystem development, and marketing strategies, and have reached a deep consensus on jointly building the PlatON meta-network Alaya. Both sides will work together to promote the construction of the Alaya network and community governance, jointly building a prosperous ecosystem for Alaya.

Mask Network is a core product under Dimension, officially launched in July 2019. This product aims to help traditional internet users transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, with its main function being the encryption and decryption of information transmission, continuously developing and improving around this function. Mask Network advocates that users cherish their data assets, integrating decentralized privacy social networking, borderless payment networks, decentralized file storage and sharing, decentralized finance, and governance (DAO), enabling users to better protect their privacy and rights on traditional social media giants like Twitter and Facebook, helping users create a decentralized application ecosystem, thus building a bridge connecting the current internet to a new open network.

The concept of data asset security and personal privacy protection of Mask Network aligns perfectly with PlatON, becoming the initial opportunity for cooperation. As a privacy computing network and distributed economic infrastructure, PlatON has consistently invested in cryptography, including continuously sponsoring and hosting various cryptography conferences (such as the Crypto Conference in the US, Europe, and Asia), establishing joint laboratories with universities and enterprises, and deeply participating in the formulation of standards in the field of cryptography. In this cooperation, PlatON will share research knowledge with Mask Network in the fields of secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, and homomorphic encryption, and strengthen the transformation of research results through engineering implementation by R&D teams, applying them to both parties' platforms and products, promoting each other and jointly advancing the substantial development of privacy computing in fields such as artificial intelligence, finance, and social networking.

In addition, the focus of PlatON on underlying infrastructure construction and Mask Network's orientation towards C-end users provides a natural foundation for cooperation. Innovatively adopting the self-developed Giskard consensus protocol, PlatON possesses a technological infrastructure platform capable of realizing large-scale commercial applications. Its meta-network Alaya, which shares the same roots, serves as a "business sandbox" and "pilot demonstration area" for the new generation of financial infrastructure. Alaya will subsequently provide Mask Network with more underlying technical support and a secure, high-performance, and scalable distributed financial application "sandbox." Mask Network will leverage its unique advantages in social networking and privacy protection to assist in the ecological construction of the Alaya network, enhance application influence, meet user product diversity, and jointly create a healthy, strong, and prosperous ecosystem with PlatON.

The deep collaboration between PlatON and Mask Network will empower both parties' platforms and products with more underlying innovation and commercial value, bringing more beloved products and services to users, expanding the ecological landscape, and continuously broadening boundaries, with blockchain and privacy computing as the core engines driving the development of the digital industry.
