A NEXUS OF PLUGCHAIN BLOCKCHAIN

Published

on

Owing to the surge in blockchain revolutionary technology, which is disrupting virtually all spheres of human endeavors, including notably pertinent areas such as data and information. Apparently, this brings to fore the applicability of blockchain in resolving issues with a vital attention to communication as expatiated upon by Plugchain™.

Plugchain™ is a high-performance public chain committed to solving the interaction of information and data. It not only realizes the safe, smooth, and efficient communication for blockchain with the real world, but also realize communication with POLKADOT, BSC, HECO and other public chain smart contracts through cross-chain technology.

Oracle Network Protocol’s decentralized oracle service (short for ONP) based on Plugchain™ focuses on the following elements when designing actual applications: integrity, confidentiality, reliability, availability and scalability, interoperability.

Technically, Plugchain™’s design comprises four sections which are proxy system, supervision system, verification registration of the nodes outside the chain system and payment system.

While there are many public chain projects, Security and scalability are practical reasons behind the strength and confidence of a project as formidable in operation as Plugchain™.

Plugchain™ had its’ testnet on the 23rd of June 2021. Following, intercommunication between reality and virtual, Plugchain™ is on the verge of making giant strides in this time and age of innovative disruptions from remote reality to job and data integration.

The biggest core innovation of the regional blockchain lies in the tool that connects smart contracts with external systems and promotes contract plays an important role.

Precisely, it is because of the consensus mechanism of blockchain, the smart contract can’t do I/O (Input/Output), so it can’t.

According to Tyler Winkelvoss and Rower, “We have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error”. However, the data itself is complex and diverse, claiming to reconstruct. Trust on external data may somewhat not be fully trusted.

Decentralized solution to the trust problem, which does not need to trust and that the interior of blockchain is a deterministic environment, which does not rely on third-party institutions for value transfer.

PLUGCHAIN APPLICATION SCENARIO

Smart contract are written in Boolean logic and is highly deterministic, so the efficacy of the mechanism in entirety is well established in the whole process with automatic operation. Plugchain™ can make a very positive change in the credibility, privacy and Defi aspects which ensures a trust free final execution pending on the quality of the data input.

A look into the application areas of Plugchain™ can be seen below;

  1. DeFi field

According to Babs Rangaiah, “as it relates to media, we expect blockchain to be able to provide a single source of truth to any given media”.

Operation cost of data sources, makes the whole defi ecology more protocol attentive, coordinate user interaction and decentralize the back-end exchanges and reserve assets. The DeFi model, the financial system recreates traditional financial instruments, including loans, derivatives, amongst others.

  • Stable currency

According to Ikuya Takasima, “Stablecoins is an asset that typically features price stability. The advantage of them is that they give the user total control over their holdings. On the other hand, the US dollar is a great example of a fiat stablecoin, as it offers low volatility and so provides a reliable unit of money to invest in both the short term and the long term. However, the US dollar doesn’t give the user any form of control, as it is monitored by the Federal Reserve Bank and is dependent on the banking network in the US for commercial use”.

Crypto asset stable currencies try to ink external world’s stable currency and the anchored assets when there is an out of chain information exchange demand for the crypto asset stable.

  • Debit and credit platform

Decentralized Peer-to-peer ending platform allows anonymous users to mortgage margin and triggers the liquidation procedure.

  • Insurance application

Crypto asset stable currency is based on cryptocurrency mortgage. Instead monitor the margin ratio of encrypted collateral, issue a warning when their prices to fiat currencies by maintaining a higher ratio of collateral to collateralized assets, and its collateral is Ethereum and other chain assets.

Plugchain™ can provide real-time data such as the exchange rate of the assets. Consumption decentralized insurance application platform, including aviation currency.

Many blockchain project parties are building an efficient, transparent and low stable currencies. For example, DAI and bit USD. DAI is issued through over encrypted assets on the blockchain to borrow French currency or encrypted Plugchain™ provides price data when the loan is generated, and can delay insurance, crop insurance, etc. Users pay the premium with ether, buy insurance, and get automatic compensation according to the insurance agreement cannot be managed uniformly, and cannot be field separately according to compensation decisions, and arrange future automatic claims.

Medium-sized real estate easing enterprises are difficult to operate because; a large number of incoming and outgoing mails cannot be effectively. Plugchain™ can introduce external data sources and events for such in the leasing industry, in fact, the most difficult thing is to control the whole customers, contacts or even projects, contracts and service requests.

Plugchain™ can guarantee the authenticity of the leasing data and link the sorted and analyzed, and the historical information of inquiry and quotation return.

Plugchain™ can build an international trade financial service platform for; Business personnel spend a lot of time processing documents and opportunities.

Public chain intelligent contracts such as POLKADOT, BSC and HECO through smooth and efficient intercommunication between blockchain and real-world independent blockchain networks with Cosmos, but also provide modular underlying components through nesting BSC and HECO ecological scenes, information, and data, but also to realize the intercommunication among stakeholders.

Not been intentionally or unintentionally destroyed or tampered with, and can with each other and share information without restriction.

Integrity in this scenario, is no different from the lexicon definition or meaning of integrity which means that the information is compete, accurate and reliable.

Multiple data sources, multiple interaction amidst others are some viable means of completing Plugchain™. The following elements are considered; integrity, decentralized derivatives trading and users in entirety.

Pertinent concepts that constitute a blockchain such as Confidentiality, reliability, Availability, Scalability, and interoperability are requisites to propelling Plugchain™ and no doubt, not absent.

Prediction machines, reputation system, trusted execution environment interoperability means that different blockchain networks can communicate (trusted hardware), authenticity proof and other schemes.

Among them, for multiple data sources, the Plugchain™ predictor network can obtain the following data sources:

  1. URL link of internet;
  2. Data of interstellar file system PFS;
  3.  Data of other blockchain
  4.  Search engine;
  5.  Sensor data, etc.

Aiming at confidentiality, the Plugchain™ predictor node uses public predictor, and only decrypts it when querying the information source.

Key components necessary to encrypt the query request, and restricts the information flow of the

  1. For reliability, Plugchain™ adopts verifiable random number engine and
  2. In view of availability, Plugchain™’s prediction machine network is decentralized, which eliminates the tedious data audit of centralized, reliable data acquisition or complex computation under the chain, which has chains as if there were no boundaries.
  3. For interoperability, Plugchain™ adopts asynchronous fragmentation technology, and all fragmented block structures are similar to consensus

In addition, in order to finally support global commercial applications, Plugchain™ needs to simplify the operation used by enterprises and reduce expansion, governance model and specific business requirements, and better and has better flexible support for different business blockchain. Thereby meeting the specific business requirements and governance requirements protocols, so that data can be seamlessly exchanged between different block can be quickly formulated and customized for different business scenarios,

Augustus Kirby, an NYC based marketer, Explains How Brands Can Win Loyalty in a Tough Economy

Published

on

Michigan, US, 23rd June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As inflation continues to shape consumers’ daily decisions, New York City based marketing strategist Augustus Kirby urges brands to shift away from transactional messaging and embrace value-based branding. In today’s economic climate, Kirby says, loyalty isn’t built on price; it’s built on purpose.

“People aren’t just pinching pennies, they’re reevaluating what matters,” explains Kirby, who has worked with clients worldwide. “They want to know that the money they spend is going toward something meaningful. That’s where value-based branding enters.”

With food, rent, and transportation costs remaining elevated, Kirby notes that surface-level promotions no longer dazzle consumers. Instead, they seek brands that reflect their identity, ethics, and aspirations. “If your brand message doesn’t make someone feel something, it’s noise,” he says. “And people are tuning out noise faster than ever.”

In NYC, Values Drive Purchasing Power

New York City, known for its high cost of living and diverse population, is a proving ground for this new branding reality. Kirby says some of the city’s most resilient businesses have survived the economic shocks of the past year not by slashing prices, but by reinforcing their mission.

“From sustainable fashion houses in Brooklyn to vegan eateries in Queens, NYC brands that lead with their values outperform expectations,” says Kirby. “Their customers aren’t just buying products, they’re buying a worldview they identify with.”

He cites the example of a Harlem-based skincare company that doubled its customer base by showcasing its commitment to Black-owned supply chains and eco-friendly packaging. “That’s value-based branding in action. It’s not charity. It’s smart business rooted in cultural alignment.”

Beyond Discounts: A New Marketing Playbook

Kirby acknowledges that traditional marketing tactics like discount codes and seasonal blowouts exist only when embedded in a broader narrative. “Promotions are effective when they feel like a reward for belonging, not a plea for attention,” he says.

He encourages brands to consider the following core elements in crafting their value-based branding strategies:

  • Purpose Over Promotion: Consumers want to know why you exist, not just what you sell. Your brand purpose should be clear, lived, and visible across channels.

  • Community-Driven Content: Instead of broadcasting polished ads, Kirby urges marketers to showcase user stories, behind-the-scenes processes, and mission-aligned collaborations. “People trust people more than logos,” he adds.

  • Transparent Messaging: Clarity is currency in an economy where trust is fragile. Brands that are upfront about sourcing, pricing, and business practices earn respect and repeat customers.

The Inflation Filter: A Permanent Shift?

While many marketers may hope inflation is temporary, Kirby warns against waiting it out. “This isn’t just a phase. Consumers have learned to filter out fluff. The economy may improve, but their standards won’t revert,” he says.

According to a recent report by Edelman, 64% of global consumers now say they choose, switch, avoid, or boycott a brand based on its stand on societal issues. “That’s not a trend. That’s a redefinition of loyalty,” says Kirby.

What Brands Should Do Right Now

Kirby advises marketers to take three immediate steps to thrive in this new landscape:

  1. Audit Your Brand Purpose
    “If your team can’t articulate why your brand exists beyond profit, start there,” he says. “Consumers can sniff out empty mission statements from a mile away.”

  2. Engage Authentically
    Use social platforms, especially niche ones, to converse honestly with your audience. “Don’t just post. Listen. Respond. Learn.”

  3. Measure What Matters
    “Move beyond vanity metrics. Look at retention, customer sentiment, and organic referrals,” Kirby says. “That’s where the real ROI of value-based branding lives.”

NYC’s Edge in the New Economy

Kirby believes New York City is uniquely positioned to lead the value-driven branding movement. “This city runs on meaning,” he says. “There’s no one-size-fits-all here. NYC brands thrive when they reflect the mosaic of people they serve.”

He points to the growing number of NYC businesses embedding activism, sustainability, and cultural storytelling into their campaigns. “It’s not performative. It’s personal. And customers respond to that.”

The Future of Marketing: Smaller, Sharper, Sincere

In Augustus Kirby’s view, consumers’ economic pressure is forcing brands to evolve fast. “We’re entering an era where being the cheapest or the loudest isn’t enough. You need to be the most aligned,” he says.

And while challenges persist, Kirby sees opportunity. “Smart brands aren’t just weathering this moment, they’re using it to deepen loyalty in ways that last far beyond inflation cycles,” he concludes. “Because when money is tight, meaning matters more.”
