“Data Island” Problem Can Be Solved by Combining Privacy Computing AI and Blockchain Technology
Platon Now Offers Breakthrough Solutions to Break the “Data Island” and Release the Value Potential
During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical networking services developed rapidly, and big data played a key role in the development. In the medical industry, new medical models and cutting-edge research also require a large number of patient data to verify. However, due to the lack of effective privacy protection, data cannot be shared, resulting in the “data island” phenomenon, which has become a big problem to be solved. At the same time, the widespread use of medical big data also triggered the issue of privacy leaks and data abuse, and raised social concerns about data security and privacy protection.
These problems exist not only in the medical industry, but also in other industries. Citing the protection of trade secrets and refusing to trade their own data, government departments are also reluctant to share data because of security, interests, technology, and other concerns. This exacerbates the “data Island” problem, which restricts the maximization of data value.
In the current data market, users produce new online data every day, but they do not own the data. Data is held in the hands of each independent collector, resulting in the compartmentalization of data ownership, which is referred to as “data Island.” The lack of data privacy protection and sharing mechanism is the main obstacle for data authentication.
Blockchain provides an opportunity for data validation. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology designed to realize transaction accounting through the joint participation of multi-nodes, and each node account is complete and cannot be tampered with. This helps in integrating users into the three-party governing account for insusceptible and uninterrupted data production, data monopoly and data use.
Through node authorization, the final data income is shared among the parties in proportion to realizing the sharing of data ownership. Although transaction information is shared in this process, account information is highly encrypted. Therefore, zero-knowledge proof is an effective strategy to protect the privacy of accounts. Zero-knowledge proof is to make the verifier believe that he has certain knowledge or ability without providing any useful information to the verifier, for example, to realize the asset transfer without disclosing user identity.
Blockchain technology can be widely used in equipment authentication, communication encryption and other areas to provide a strong support for breaking the “data island” and promoting data transactions.
Privacy computing brings solutions
The realization of data sharing transaction and potential value release happens on the value chain of “property right confirmation – privacy protection – co-computing – value sharing.” The scheme, which is widely accepted by finance and blockchain industry, is based on the solution combining privacy computing and AI, which is a new way to solve security problems such as key management, by integrating multiple cryptography algorithms with frontier blockchain technology. Public chain PlatOn is the pioneer that set a precedence of multi-party secure computing (MPC) and other cryptographic algorithms into the key management system (KMS), which realizes the management of massive scale digital assets through cryptography, thereby effectively resolving the contradiction between data privacy protection, right ownership and data sharing, and improving the value and efficiency of data. The technology can be used in future scenarios such as digital wallets and inter-agency transactions.
PlatON has focused on the combination of privacy computing and big data AI. The open-sourced, community-based, blockchain ecosystem recently launched Tensorflow, the world’s first privacy AI framework that supports mainstream in-depth learning. PlatON’s series of innovative practices have provided an observable way to solve the problem of “data island” and data asset transaction.
Thanks to its rich industry experience, PlatON can fix the impasse and step forward. It is reported that PlatON’s core founding team has more than 15 years of experience in finance and communications, and strong software implementation capability too. These are exactly what the foundation for PlatON is built on to continuously and effectively promote R&D investment and business practice. At present, PlatON is focusing on R&D and solving the problem of data sharing step by step in the engineering and business world. Currently, PlatON’s leading network, Alaya, is focused on the financial sector, where data is highly standardized and financial institutions have a strong desire to address data privacy concerns.
PlatON’s Future Vision: Building a Data Transaction Infrastructure
PlatON has become a global leader in the field of privacy-protected computing. With the accumulation of finance and AI, PlatON has reached strategic cooperation with HashQuark, Keystore, HashKey Hub and other well-known platforms in the industry to jointly promote the implementation and application of cutting-edge technologies, such as KeyShard, so as to realize the new digital assets custody service in the world and better protect the security of digital assets.
PlatON’s vision is to build a peer-to-peer computing network that integrates verifiable computing, privacy computing, scalable computing, and dedicated computing hardware to provide open-source public infrastructure software development, consulting, and operational services to developers, data providers, as well as various communities, organizations, and individuals with computing needs around the world, and ultimately to support mass data asset transactions.

Cryptorefills launches x402 payments for AI agents, publishes agentic commerce reference
USDC payments on Base for AI agents at checkout, alongside open-source documentation of how merchants run agent-driven commerce.
Amsterdam, May 11th 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, 15:00 CEST. Cryptorefills has enabled x402 payments at checkout, allowing AI agents to pay for gift cards, mobile top-ups and eSIMs using USDC on the Base network. The protocol, developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, lets autonomous software settle stablecoin transactions programmatically. Cryptorefills has also published an open-source operations reference for the merchant operations layer of agentic commerce.
x402 lets a software agent receive an HTTP 402 Payment Required response from a merchant, settle the requested amount in stablecoin, and complete the transaction in a single automated exchange. For Cryptorefills, checkout becomes a programmable endpoint that agents can call directly.
The x402 launch adds a second agent-payment rail to the platform. Cryptorefills released its Model Context Protocol server in October 2025, allowing agents to discover products, build orders, and complete purchases through MCP. x402 addresses a different pattern: the agent calls a Cryptorefills endpoint, receives payment terms, settles in USDC, and completes the request in one round trip. The two rails serve different agent contexts and run in parallel.
“We shipped x402 and open-sourced our merchant operations work in the same week on purpose. One is a payment rail, while the other is what a merchant needs around it to accept agent traffic. Agentic commerce is happening, and very little about the second part has been written down,” said Massimiliano Silenzi, CEO of Cryptorefills. “We’ve been running stablecoin checkout since 2018, and a lot of what we learned there carries over. We chose to publish what we’ve learned and continue building the rest openly.”
The reference repository, available at github.com/Cryptorefills/agentic-commerce, covers the operations surface that surrounds the protocol stack. Topics include catalogue discovery for agent buyers, settlement reconciliation across chains, quote-and-pricing handling, and delivery confirmations. Documentation is released under CC0; example code is Apache 2.0.
“In the repository we just open-sourced there are nine playbooks, the TypeScript schemas behind them, and five runnable examples. Two of them connect to our live MCP and x402 endpoints, so a developer can clone the repository and watch the agent-merchant exchange execute against production,” said Simonluca Landi, CTO of Cryptorefills.
Cryptorefills serves AI agents through three of the field’s emerging standards: MCP for context, Agent Skills for capability publishing, and x402 for stablecoin settlement.

Collaboration to focus on cost-effective capture and mineralization of biogenic CO₂ in Europe
Korea South, 11th May 2026, – SEOUL, South Korea & KORTRIJK, Belgium – South Korea’s ICEnergy and Belgium-based Emicap have partnered to deploy cryogenic carbon capture systems targeting biogenic CO₂ in Europe. The partnership combines ICEnergy’s proprietary capture technology with Emicap’s cryogenic R&D and market access, supported by Emicap’s sister company, LM Engineering, which provides industrial engineering and execution capabilities.
Dr. Sungho Park(icenergy0805@gmail.com), CEO of ICEnergy, stated that he hopes this partnership will enable ICEnergy and Emicap to take a further step toward realizing carbon neutrality in the European market. The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment following the successful demonstration of ICEnergy’s technology. Amid a rapidly expanding European market for biogenic CO₂ solutions, early deployment is critical to secure access to high-quality feedstocks and permanent storage pathways.
ICEnergy recently demonstrated a 10 ton/day cryogenic carbon capture system for both onshore and marine applications. The system converts flue gas CO2 directly into dry ice, avoiding the need for conventional separation and liquefaction steps. A key feature of the electrically driven process is the internal recovery and reuse of cold energy. By recycling this energy, external demand is reduced and consumption is focused on CO₂ conversion, resulting in approximately 30% lower energy use compared to conventional systems, supporting a low lifecycle carbon footprint.
Emicap integrates cryogenic CO2 capture with downstream applications by coupling emission sources from Waste-to-Energy and biomass plants to the carbonation of alkaline industrial residues such as steel slags and fly ash. To ensure seamless site-specific deployment, Emicap applies its cryogenic R&D expertise to tailor ICEnergy’s capture systems for these European industrial plants. This integration enables the permanent storage of CO2 while upgrading captured emissions and industrial residues into supplementary cementitious materials for use in low-carbon construction. By operating across the full value chain, Emicap helps offset capture costs, reducing reliance on institutional subsidies.
The partners are targeting removal of up to 200 kilotons of CO₂ annually by 2035, positioning the collaboration to contribute to industrial-scale, net-negative emissions.
