Press Release
Building a machine network based on blockchain to create a new IoT era
Mankind is entering the era of “connection of all things”
Recently, the Ministry of industry and information technology released the key industries and application scenarios of “5G + industrial Internet”, marking that China’s 5G application has shifted from exploration to promotion. 5G has three characteristics: high speed, low delay and wide connection, which will promote the consumer Internet forward to the industrial Internet, and finally build an intelligent world of “everything connected”.
The essence of industrial Internet is to use information technology to closely connect the equipment, production lines, factories, suppliers, products and customers in the industrial manufacturing industry, which is across the equipment, system, and region, so as to improve efficiency and promote the intellectualization of the whole manufacturing service system. The 5G application scenarios released recently, such as collaborative operation and flexible manufacturing, indicating the importance of industrial Internet to achieve broader and deeper social cooperation. It is through this large-scale cooperation that human civilization makes progress continuously.
Large-scale social cooperation could be divided into two patterns: the first is centralized, with hierarchical “command-feedback” chain and mutual principal-agent relationship as the core characteristics. The typical representatives are government, bureaucratic organizations and military units; the second type is decentralized, represented by market mechanism. There is no central planning or unified coordination. The participants of the mechanism, based on cost-benefit calculation, promote the overall interests through automatic division of labor and exchange. On the social level, the efficiency of decentralized market mechanism is higher than that of centralized command mechanism. In the future mass machine equipment connection (mMTC) network, a decentralized and value exchange based large-scale collaboration among machines can be realized by introducing market mechanism. Therefore, the industrial Internet in the digital era is not only the Internet of factory manufacturing, but also a distributed network and governance structure. All enterprises can safely join this network to realize manufacturing services, integrated innovation and value sharing.
Sharing mechanism in large scale machine cooperation
Although large-scale collaboration between machines has great value potentially, it still faces problems such as privacy protection, trust between agents and higher demand of computing power of large-scale collaboration.
Therefore, the solution design of the industry is to adopt the pattern of “machine network + blockchain”. The role of Cloud in traditional industrial Internet, such as using the smart contract based on the blockchain to realize the value measurement, distribution and settlement of large-scale cooperation. Finally, it would make the large-scale cooperation of cross-border and public affairs more credible and efficient.
1) Effective data confirmation
The reason why blockchain has become the key to the future industrial Internet is that it integrates technologies such as cryptography, peer-to-peer network, consensus mechanism, and forms a new way of data recording, transmission, storage and presentation, so as to construct a decentralized pattern, which can effectively confirm the data rights. In the industrial Internet, the integration of blockchain technology can solve the problem of mutual trust and cooperation among multiple players, as well as the problem of industrial enterprises’ control over their own data.
2) Reducing the transaction cost of multilateral platform
With the development of global market and the subdivision of supply chain, the participation cost of complex business activities is no longer “bilateral”, but “multilateral”, and the establishment of trust relationship is more and more expensive. Blockchain technology can build a peer-to-peer and unified platform for business activities. At the same time, it can significantly reduce one of the trust costs in transaction costs to be commercially feasible. Participants in business activities will move from traditional “bilateral platform” to “multilateral platform”. While scale effect is formed, the trust cost will not increase too much.Finally, it will be superimposed into an ecological effect, forming a viable business model.
3) To solve the problem of Isolated Data Island by privacy computing
Although blockchain can play a significant role in solving trust, cooperation and other problems in industrial Internet, it still has some defects in data value mining and privacy protection. Therefore, blockchain also needs to combine with privacy computing. Privacy computing can not only realize data sharing under privacy protection, ensure the authorization of privavy data, but also prevent malicious eavesdroppers or others from accessing the original data or data calculation results. In the industrial Internet, the core data is still kept in the enterprise. Under the premise of meeting the needs of data privacy security, privacy computing enables enterprises to use massive industrial data more efficiently and accurately, solving the problem of Isolated Data Island. Furtherly, it enhance the value of data in the process of sovereign ownership and rights sharing, and realize the two-way empowerment of various enterprises.
PlatON helps intelligent interconnection of Machine Networks
PlatON is a privacy computing network based on cryptography algorithm. As a global leader in blockchain industry, it can effectively solve the problems about Big Data managemen in the industrial Internet by its existing technical advantages, and provide a safer infrastructure based on privacy protection and edge computing capability. Firstly, PlatOn’s powerful encryption algorithm technology can provide trusted device authentication, multi-channel data transmission and data storage services for industrial Internet, and enhance the security of device system; Secondly, PlatOn’s new computing architecture can make full use of the computing resources of adjacent nodes, provide strong computing support for the industrial Internet, and comprehensively improve the timeliness of services. Finally, PlatOn’s privacy protection and multi-party secure computing (MPC) technology can support collaborative analysis of massive data and integration of diverse scenarios
On April 30, 2021, the PlatON privacy AI computing network obtained the community license with 80.6% support rate, and the current pre-deployment network has officially become the main network. PlatON will gradually establish a multi-agent collaboration and computing network for the future, and promote industrial civilization and human society from “interconnection of all things” to “intelligent connection of all things”.

Press Release
76% of Treasury Teams Hit by Fraud as Deepfake Attacks Rise, Treasury Dragons & nsKnox 2026 Index Finds
New York, New York, October 1st, 2026, FinanceWire
2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, produced with nsKnox, shows verification remains the weak link: only 18% of organizations continuously revalidate supplier bank details, and 41% still receive sensitive payment data by email
nsKnox, a leader in B2B payment security, today released the findings of the 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index, “Why Verification Remains the Weak Link,” produced in partnership with Treasury Dragons, the global network for buyers, specifiers and users of corporate treasury technology. The findings were unveiled this morning in a live Treasury Dragons Masterclass webinar.
Now in its fourth year, the survey of 104 corporate treasury professionals found that 76% of organizations experienced at least one payment fraud incident in the past 12 months, up from 73% last year, and 44% were hit more than once. Two-thirds (67%) expect the risk to rise further over the next year.
Artificial intelligence is making familiar attacks faster, cheaper and far more convincing. More than half of respondents (53%) have faced a confirmed or suspected deepfake-related fraud attempt, most often in multi-channel attacks that pair a legitimate-looking email thread with a voice call, messaging exchange or video interaction. Yet only 44% have formal policies covering AI-related fraud.
Other key findings include:
- Confidence is outpacing controls. 79% rate their confidence in supplier banking information as high or very high, yet only 18% continuously revalidate supplier bank details.
- Email is still a front door for fraud. 41% receive sensitive supplier or payment data by email, and only 39% always use secure or encrypted channels.
- Awareness is high, but ownership is not. 75% rate their fraud awareness as high or very high, but only 39% say ownership of payment fraud is clearly defined.
- Technology is the biggest gap. 48% do not use a dedicated payment fraud prevention system, and 71% are prioritizing investment in payment validation.
“This year’s Index confirms what we hear from finance leaders every day: the problem is no longer awareness – it’s verification,” said Nithai Barzam, CEO of nsKnox. “When AI lets a fraudster impersonate a supplier convincingly across email, phone and video, any control that relies on these channels becomes part of the attack. Organizations need to validate bank accounts independently, continuously and globally, using authoritative data from the banking system, before a payment is ever released.”
“In four years of running this survey, we have watched awareness climb steadily, but the controls underneath it haven’t kept pace,” said Mike Hewitt, CEO of Adaugeo Media and Founder of Treasury Dragons. “The message for treasurers is clear: confidence should be the outcome of continuous verification, not a substitute for it.”
The full 2026 Treasury Dragons Payment Fraud Index report is available for download here. A recording of the masterclass, “How Treasury Can Stop Corporate Payment Fraud,” is available on demand at this link.

911 Exteriors, a reputable roofing company in Irving, shares guidance for spotting possible roof damage after severe weather
Recent Storm Activity In North Texas
Irving, Texas, Oct 01, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Severe storm activity over parts of North Texas on September 20 brought heavy rains, damaging winds, and hail concerns to a few communities. A post-storm inspection is critical for homeowners, particularly when severe weather conditions put stress on roofing materials.
Even roofs that appear to be fine can be damaged due to storms. If damage is suspected, homeowners across the DFW area should watch for any visible warning signs and schedule a professional inspection.
The Reason You May Not See Storm Damage
Storm damage is not always apparent. Hail only leaves small impact marks, while strong winds can break, unfasten, or lift shingles without causing a leak immediately. Over time, loss of these granules can also damage shingles.
Other concerns include deteriorated flashing, roof penetrations, vents, and areas around skylights. If there are small openings in the roofing system, the water will seep under the roof and lead to moisture damage within the house.
Signs Irving and DFW Homeowners Should Pay Attention To
Following severe weather, homeowners can safely inspect areas they can see from the ground and access for interior signs of damage:
-
Missing or lifted shingles
-
Hail marks or impact damage
-
Granules accumulating around gutters and downspouts
-
Damaged or displaced flashing
-
Loose roofing components
-
Ceiling or attic water stains
-
New leaks or signs of moisture
-
Damaged vents or skylights
Homeowners who notice these warning signs should hire a DFW roofing company for a detailed inspection
Why a Professional Roof Inspection is Crucial
It will point out obvious storm damage, but also other less-obvious hail hits and potential water entry points, as well as worn-out roof components. A qualified Irving roofer comes with advanced equipment to assess whether a problem needs immediate repair.
Climbing on your roof after the storm is usually unsuitable for homeowners. The slippery nature of wet & damaged roofing surfaces can create extreme safety hazards. An experienced professional comes equipped with the appropriate tools and training to inspect the roof in a safer manner.
How to Identify Storm Damage
Homeowners who suspect their property may have suffered storm damage can do the following:
-
Take photos of any visible damage from a safe distance.
-
Inspect the roof and inside the attic for moisture or water stains.
-
Steer clear of any makeshift repairs, which can lead to extra problems later.
-
Schedule a professional roof inspection.
-
Some insurance policies only review auto damage after an accident, for example.
-
Retain photographs, inspection records, and documentation from your free consultation for future reference.
