Building a machine network based on blockchain to create a new IoT era

Published

on

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”.

SS Support Network Releases 2026 NEMT Back-Office Report and Launches Free Operations Audit for U.S. Providers

Published

on

New analysis from the healthcare outsourcing company finds that non-emergency medical transportation providers lose the most revenue in back-office operations — unanswered calls, dispatch gaps, and broker-compliance issues — rather than on the road.

Vancouver, WA, United States, 1st Sep 2026, Grand Newswire – SS Support Network LLC, a U.S.-registered healthcare and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) back-office outsourcing company founded in 2020, today released its 2026 NEMT Back-Office Report and announced a free operations audit for U.S. transportation providers. Drawn from the company’s work across more than 200 clients and over 200,000 processed claims, the report identifies where NEMT providers lose trips, revenue, and broker trust, and finds that the costliest failures occur in back-office operations rather than in vehicles or drivers.

The report arrives as demand for medical transportation rises and broker requirements tighten. Industry data places the U.S. NEMT market at roughly $17 billion with mid-single-digit annual growth, while U.S. Census Bureau projections indicate 73.1 million Americans will be aged 65 or older by 2030. Published industry analyses estimate NEMT driver turnover above 64% annually and put the cost of missed medical appointments to the U.S. healthcare system at approximately $150 billion per year, with transportation barriers among the leading contributors.

According to the report, most providers focus on vehicles and drivers while the largest financial losses occur elsewhere: after-hours calls sent to voicemail, will-call returns left unmanaged, broker portals worked inconsistently, and credentials that lapse unnoticed until trips stop or an audit occurs. SS Support Network states that these gaps reduce trip volume, weaken broker relationships, and lower customer satisfaction even when a provider’s fleet and drivers perform well.

The company reports measurable results from its own engagements. In anonymized client outcomes, SS Support Network released $28,000 in previously held Modivcare billing for payment, generated approximately $9,800 in new broker-driven revenue for another provider within about two months, and helped raise one transportation company’s public review rating from 1.8 to 3.7 through consistent, in-name customer support. In a separate engagement, an East Coast NEMT provider transferred its full back office to the company and expanded from a single state to multiple states while SS Support Network continued to manage day-to-day operations for more than two years.

“Most NEMT owners assume their problem is vehicles and drivers,” said Nimra Khalid, Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer of SS Support Network. “In our experience, the revenue is usually lost in quieter places — a phone going to voicemail overnight, a broker portal left untouched, a credential that expired. When the back office is corrected, the same fleet completes more trips and retains more broker business.”

Alongside the report, SS Support Network is making a free operations audit available to U.S. NEMT providers. The audit is a written review of a provider’s calls, dispatching, scheduling, and broker activity that identifies specific operational issues and recommended corrections, provided at no cost. The company’s agents are HIPAA-trained and operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), working within a provider’s existing dispatch software and broker portals, including Modivcare, MTM, and Access2Care.

“Operators should be able to see where they are losing money, in writing,” Nimra added. “If we are not the right fit, the audit says so.”

The 2026 NEMT Back-Office Report and details of the free operations audit are available at https://sssupportnetwork.llc/.

Aster and World Liberty Financial Launch USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1, Offering 125M $WLFI + 6.25M USD1 in Rewards

Published

on

George Town, British Virgin Islands, September 1st, 2026, Chainwire

Aster, the privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, today announced the kickoff of USD1 RWA Boost: Phase 1 with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), featuring 125,000,000 $WLFI and 6,250,000 USD1 in rewards.

The campaign builds on AOS-2, Aster’s earlier expansion of its Aster Open Standards (AOS) framework from spot markets to perpetuals.

Leonard, CEO at Aster, said: “AOS-2 is turning Aster from a decentralized perp exchange into an open infrastructure layer where anyone can launch and operate their own perpetual markets on top of Aster Chain. The first USD1 RWA perpetuals show that model is already working.”

AOS-2: A Published Standard for Perpetual Listings

AOS-2 is Aster’s standardized, onchain framework for initiating perpetual market listings, enabling projects to propose new markets through a transparent and automated process.

Applicants stake 1 million $ASTER, locked for four years with no early exit, before the proposal goes to an onchain validator vote. If approved, Aster’s risk team configures the market and the perpetual can go live as early as T+1; if rejected, the stake is returned in full. 

Listing access runs on published onchain rules, while leverage and other trading parameters stay under Aster’s risk controls, letting Aster bring new markets to traders faster without giving up risk management.

USD1 RWA Boost Phase 1: 125M $WLFI + 6.25M USD1 in Rewards

The campaign runs from August 31 through December 31, 2026, covering SPCX/USD1, CL/USD1, XAU/USD1, SNDK/USD1, SKHYNIX/USD1, and MU/USD1. 

Users earn Trading Points through taker volume on eligible USD1 pairs, which determine their share of the USD1 reward pool, while Open Interest (OI) Points are earned by holding eligible positions and determine their share of the $WLFI reward pool. Traders using Single Asset Mode with USD1 as collateral receive a 2x boost on OI Points. Rewards are calculated across weekly epochs and distributed the following week.

“When real-world assets trade onchain, the settlement asset matters as much as the market itself. Perpetuals on gold, energy, and equities, all denominated in USD1, give traders one dollar instrument across every one of these markets, and that is what stablecoins were built to do. We are supporting these markets because this is where onchain market structure is heading, and Phase 1 is only the start,” said Zach Witkoff, Co-Founder and CEO at World Liberty Financial.

Building the Frontier of Onchain Trading

AOS-2 gives Aster a repeatable, onchain path for bringing new markets to the platform, and the first USD1 RWA perpetual listings show that path is already at work. Paired with the ecosystem support from Aster and WLFI, the launch turns a new listing framework into real trading activity from day one.

As more real-world and crypto-native assets move onchain, Aster aims to become a leading venue for bringing new asset markets onchain. The map gets bigger from here.

About Aster

Aster is a privacy-first onchain trading platform backed by YZi Labs, with unique features like Hidden Orders to protect user trading activity. It pioneers the frontier of on-chain trading through perpetual futures, spots, and earn products for top-trending assets, including RWAs, memes, and core crypto markets. It is powered by Aster Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to power the future of decentralized finance.

Users can learn more about Aster on the official website or follow Aster on X.

*Disclaimer: Eligible pairs, reward parameters, and campaign rules are subject to change during the campaign. Please refer to the official campaign page for the latest eligible pair list and campaign details. Trading cryptocurrencies and leveraged products involves significant risk and may result in the loss of capital.
