1 Are there any exchange listing plans for TRIAS?

We are actively working towards the listing of eco-project tokens on exchanges, with the initiative set to launch in Q3. Ensuring the availability of these tokens on exchanges is a crucial strategic step as these eco projects continue to flourish. By doing so, our aim is to enhance liquidity and trading opportunities for all TRIAS holders.

Our approach involves implementing a swap-n-burn mechanism, enabling TRIAS holders to acquire new tokens. Moreover, non-TRIAS users can also reap benefits through this mechanism. As we finalize the listing schedule, we will gradually announce the specific details of each project’s token listing and the swap-n-burn mechanism.

Additionally, we acknowledge the challenges associated with centralized exchanges and are therefore exploring the possibility of listing TRIAS on multiple exchanges. Originally, we had planned for further exchange listings following the update of the Trias tokenomics in Q4 of this year. However, taking the existing market conditions into account, we intend to foster closer communication with the community and adjust our listing plans in line with project development and market needs.

Rest assured, we are committed to ensuring the growth and success of TRIAS while prioritizing transparency and community involvement. Stay tuned for more updates on our exchange listing plans as we progress further.

2 How does Triathon utilize AI to enhance its contract auditing capabilities?

Triathon leverages AI technology as the foundation of its contract vulnerability detection capabilities, dedicating substantial efforts to establish a specialized team in the UK to delve deep into the field of AI-driven contract vulnerability detection during the first half of this year.

Traditionally, smart contract detection heavily relied on the skills and expertise of security experts and developers, who continuously improved their detection capabilities by uncovering vulnerabilities. However, given that smart contract vulnerability detection is still an emerging field, there is a shortage of skilled professionals in this area. Currently, contract auditing companies often spend months auditing contracts for a particular project.

AI’s ability to learn brings a transformative shift in contract auditing. Even in the absence of a seasoned programmer to guide it, AI can effectively execute contract audits. This parallels the achievements of AlphaGo and AlphaZero in the world of Go. AlphaGo attained mastery by studying vast quantities of historical games and training itself to surpass the renowned Go player Lee Sedol, capturing worldwide attention. Its successor, AlphaZero, began from scratch, without any reliance on historical games or pre-existing human knowledge. Through reinforcement learning and self-improvement, AlphaZero exceeded the skills of AlphaGo by a significant margin, ultimately winning all matches against it.

Similar to AlphaZero, Triathon is actively developing self-learning capabilities. Triathon’s AI does not rely on human security analysts for learning. Instead, it undergoes continuous testing, fuzzy test validation, and leverages reinforcement learning. This also allows all members from the community to actively join the training process, making contributions, and getting rewards. With advancements in the underlying model and reinforcement learning techniques, we firmly believe that Triathon will evolve into the most advanced contract vulnerability detection platform in the industry.

Moving into Q3, we will further enhance our AI detection vulnerability capabilities and launch marketing campaigns, inviting the community and people who are interested in AI detection technology to participate in the training process.

3 What is the big news you have prepared for Q3?

Q3 is poised to be an exhilarating quarter as we unveil several significant developments that we have been diligently preparing for. Firstly, Triathon will introduce AI-based detection capabilities and invite users to participate in training AI models. Our powerful AI detection capability eliminates the need for human expertise and instead relies on self-learning through code-integrated NFTs and other tools. Building upon this AI detection capability, we will gradually launch our SecFi (Security Finance) applications, including TDO (Test-driven Offering) and insurance mechanism. To broaden our reach, we will forge partnerships with more projects and their ecosystems.

Furthermore, we have established an AI security team in the UK during the first half of this year, and in Q3, we will initiate preparations for Triathon’s Japan team. This team will play a pivotal role in driving Triathon’s commercialization efforts and community outreach in Japan. We are excited to introduce the Japan team very soon. Additionally, we have commenced the process of establishing a company in Hong Kong. Our objective is to provide AI-based detection capabilities for enhancing the security of the crypto industry in Hong Kong by collaborating with compliant exchanges, leveraging our robust detection, real-time monitoring, and secure distribution capabilities.

Tusima will also launch a larger-scale testnet in Japan, building upon our partnerships with a top 5 payment company in the country. Over the next 3 months, we will conduct in-depth testing with the goal of supporting over 1 million transactions per day on Tusima’s new testnet. This achievement would reach the transaction volume of Ethereum and numerous other renowned public chains, far passing other privacy-preserving chains. Simultaneously, we will commence testing stablecoins in larger-scale scenarios. Through these tests, we will gradually transition more trading scenarios from our partner companies to the Tusima platform.

Moreover, we have completed a version of the Leviatom testnet, featuring a modified EVM-compatible Layer 1 chain built on top of our Layer ‘-1’. This development will notably enhance the performance of the Tusima testnet and validate the reliability of our Layer ‘-1’ network. In Q3, we will finalize the next-generation testnet for Leviatom, which will enable direct calls from EVM-compatible smart contracts to cloud-native applications. This groundbreaking advancement represents a crucial step in realizing dFaaS (Decentralized Function as a Service). Our aim is to have the Leviatom testnet live by the end of Q3. Once the Leviatom dFaaS platform is operational, we will be able to migrate traditional web 2.0 applications to Leviatom, enabling Tusima to directly access web 2.0 fintech infrastructure. This integration will significantly enhance Tusima’s efficiency and offline scaling capabilities. By focusing on the Leviatom dFaaS platform in Q3, we anticipate having an infrastructure in place in Q4 that can robustly support the Yen stablecoin.

Additionally, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming efforts to facilitate eco projects in listing on exchanges. We have already initiated communications with several exchanges, and in Q3, we will launch marketing campaigns to raise awareness about eco projects and Trias. Exciting times lie ahead, and we look forward to sharing these remarkable advancements with our dedicated community.

4 For the next 12 months, what excites you and the team the most?

Over the next 12 months, we are thrilled by the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for Trias and the team. Our ultimate vision is to create a Trusted and Reliable Intelligent Autonomous System, akin to a controlled superintelligence — a long-held aspiration since my university days.

With ongoing eco-projects and forthcoming technical breakthroughs, we see increasing prospects for realizing this superintelligence. During this period, we will focus on refining the eco-projects already underway while simultaneously launching several new initiatives, including Divina and Octavius.

Divina is particularly captivating as it seamlessly migrates all web 2.0 applications to Leviatom, addressing the question of whether we need to redevelop previous web 2.0 applications for the web 3 era. With Divina, the answer becomes clear: all web 2.0 applications can run on Leviatom, provided they are cloud-native and containerizable. We will open Divina to web 2.0 developers worldwide, fostering a vibrant and intricate biosphere of microservices on Leviatom, as envisioned. At that point, large-scale programs will no longer rely solely on top-down development; instead, each application will actively seek and dynamically link with other software to form expansive distributed software clusters. This transformative capability enables large-scale software to grow and evolve actively in response to user needs.

Additionally, Octavius will leverage the microservices biosphere to facilitate human-machine coevolution. Through code or binary file analysis, Octavius learns the function of each microservice, just like a person continuously acquiring knowledge about others’ unique abilities. As Octavius familiarizes itself with various microservices, it can intelligently combine them to fulfill human needs and commands. Octavius represents a novel mechanism for human-machine communication. With Octavius, humans input natural language, and it autonomously orchestrates the microservices to execute tasks and provide results. This realization of superintelligence — a vast distributed computing network that processes information and performs tasks based on human ideas — embodies the essence of a truly autonomous and executable internet, the epitome of web 3.0. I am confident that within the next 12 months, I can finalize the design of Divina and Octavius, allowing the Trias ecosystem to transition into a new phase of mainnet, bringing the Trustworthy and Reliable Intelligent Autonomous System (TRIAS) concept to life.

5 Can you provide updates on the Japanese Stablecoin program?

We are pleased to share the latest developments regarding the Yen Stablecoin program, which is progressing smoothly. We have achieved interoperability with VISA, enabling seamless integration within the existing financial ecosystem. Furthermore, we have successfully established interoperability with Japanese ID cards, facilitating a streamlined KYC verification process and enabling users to link their bank cards for offline transactions through facial recognition. Over the past six months, we have diligently pursued various regulatory licenses and completed crucial development milestones associated with the program.

We have engaged in extensive discussions with potential partners across multiple prefectures in Japan for collaboration in points trading applications. Pilot designs have been finalized in several regions, setting the stage for further specialized testnets for voucher applications, all of which will be connected to the stablecoin network. As we gradually implement the new version of Tusima’s testnet, our objective is to establish financial-related application scenarios and facilitate the proof of concept (PoC) deployment. Subsequently, with the introduction of the Tusima cross-chain bridge, we will integrate multiple platforms into a unified network once they have commenced operations. Our ambitious goal is to achieve a total of 10 million users and 1 million daily users within a year.

To demonstrate our technical capabilities to customers, we plan to complete the testing phase for handling such transaction volumes in Q3. This achievement will serve as a compelling validation of our foundational technical strength. Once this network is established, our stablecoin will serve diverse industries and cater to the needs of Japanese users.

Since Tusima is not currently listed on a Japanese exchange, we are unable to disclose specific information regarding Japanese partners at this time due to regulatory issues. Nevertheless, we are actively working towards promoting Tusima’s listing on Japanese exchanges, and once accomplished, we will readily share the relevant cooperation details with you.

10 Octa becomes the only blockchain and privacy computing technical support unit for China’s Smart Healthcare Collaboration Platform. How does this affect Trias?

The recent development where Octa has emerged as the exclusive support unit and will provide blockchain and privacy computing technology for China’s smart medical collaboration platform marks a significant milestone. Historically, Octa has primarily focused on the fintech domain, leveraging blockchain and privacy computing to establish trusted and secure supply chain finance data networks across various provinces. Octa has achieved notable success in facilitating financial applications, risk control, credit models, and more.

The healthcare industry, with its emphasis on the sensitive exchange of private data, presents immense opportunities and significant technical challenges. We recognize the substantial demand within this sector and acknowledge its importance. While finance caters to a broad user base, the comprehensive utilization of medical data presents a larger and more significant vision. We believe that directing our efforts towards leveraging technology to serve human health represents the next frontier for expansion.

Our strategy entails conducting preliminary experiments within China and progressively replicating successful experiences onto the public chain. Simultaneously, as we have already established a robust business network in Japan, we will synchronize the expansion of related applications in the country.

11 Can you provide updates on the new Trias website?

We understand that there have been some delays in updating the Trias website. Our current focus is primarily on several eco-projects, and their implementation and commercial promotion progress has surpassed our initial expectations. Consequently, our attention has been dedicated to the development and promotion of each project, with a growing emphasis on facilitating exchange listings. However, this does not mean that the work on updating the website has ceased.

As an integral part of the Trias ecosystem, the progress of existing eco-projects and the design of upcoming initiatives will significantly enrich the content of the new Trias website. While we continue to work on presenting a comprehensive overview of the Trias ecosystem, we also recognize the importance of providing timely updates to the community. As a result, we are actively considering making updates and adjustments to the existing official website, ensuring that the community can access project updates and information through a single portal.

12 Besides the Trias-enhanced Ethereum example, are there other examples that illustrate the technical superiority of Trias?

Absolutely. While enhancing networks like Ethereum(Layer 1) and Tusima (Layer 2) is a foundational capability of the Trias network, we have numerous other examples that showcase the technical superiority of Trias. One of the most remarkable capabilities is the seamless execution of all web 2.0 applications on Leviatom using Divina technology. This revolutionary approach eliminates the need to rewrite existing web 2.0 applications. Instead, we enable decentralized execution of web 2.0 infrastructure, embodying the chain-native system we envision. By the end of Q3, we aim to demonstrate a proof of concept (PoC) that showcases this capability. In Q4 of this year, users will witness the unparalleled performance enhancements that our technology brings to the blockchain.

Furthermore, in Q3, Tusima will undergo extensive testing with the objective of achieving a daily transaction volume exceeding one million. To the best of my knowledge, such a record has not been achieved in the privacy-preserving public chain thus far. Accomplishing this milestone will serve as a compelling testament to the robust underlying technical capabilities of Trias.

13 What are the advantages of holding TRIAS?

Holding TRIAS offers several notable advantages within the Trias ecosystem. Firstly, TRIAS tokens serve the purpose of “proof-of-trust”: with the HCGraph algorithm, the nodes staking more TRIAS will get more verifications by more verified nodes (who are iteratively verified by more other nodes). The more verifications a node gets, the harder it can run untrusted applications without being identified, therefore more trustworthy. The increase in trustworthiness for a node allows it to gain more weight on building consensus, therefore more opportunities on getting rewards.

For example, for the Tusima network, the Tusima node staked with more TRIAS is more likely to be trusted by other Tusima nodes, and hence having higher weight on building blocks and gaining rewards. Consequently, since every eco-project node needs TRIAS for proof-of-trust, with the release of these eco-projects and the activation of HCGraph mechanisms, the demand for TRIAS will spike up substantially I believe.

Furthermore, the swap-n-burn mechanism helps the community to actively control the liquidity of all eco-token with TRIAS. TRIAS can also be used to generate governance tokens for the eco-projects. We are exploring more utilities of TRIAS to interact with our eco-projects. In Q3, with the listing of our eco-tokens, we will start enabling TRIAS’s utilities piece-by-piece.

14 When does Trias plan to release its own roadmap?

We have been continuously updating Trias’s Layer ‘-1’ technology, with the current updates primarily focusing on satisfying the technical needs from our eco-projects. In Q4, when we finish delivering these projects’ new versions, we will release the roadmap of Trias for the coming year, along with the development plans of the eco-projects.
