Decentralized And Fully Open-Source Project PlatON Aims To Construct New Generation Financial Infrastructure
In recent years, with rapid development of 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other technologies, the whole society has been evolving and upgrading on the road of informationization, digitization and intelligentization, and the data has become the key factor in the production process. As the value of data resources is gradually recognized, the demand for data circulation and sharing is increasing.
Although entities such as platform enterprises can set up algorithm analysis teams, use crawlers and terminal equipment and other technologies to obtain external data and process the same, provide relevant data to the outside world or provide data services, and overcome their own development problems in a centralized processing mode, from the perspective of the whole society, the data that can be acquired and processed by the centralized processing mode is still limited. The current digital infrastructure cannot meet the urgent needs for data transaction and sharing. Moreover, the inherent protection policy of trade secrets in the industry and the concerns of government departments on security interests restrict the maximum use of data value.
The emergence of blockchain and privacy computing technology provides guarantee and incentive for protecting data privacy and promoting data sharing transactions, and is gradually disrupting the traditional centralized governance model, creating the possibility for building a “decentralized” digital infrastructure.
“Decentralization” Reform And Development Trend In The Financial Field
The financial industry depends on big data, and its essence is in effective allocation of resources on the basis of mutual trust. As the traditional financial system is based on the centralized mode, it is highly dependent on intermediaries such as banks and arbitrators such as courts, which makes the market transaction cost high and the system efficiency low. It requires a lot of paperwork and it is difficult to manage vouchers. Introducing blockchain technology into the financial industry will break through the traditional centralized capital transaction mode and build a scattered and decentralized financial service system, which is called distributed finance (Defi).
Defi is not bound by central financial intermediaries such as banks, exchanges and brokerage companies, and uses blockchain intelligent contracts, which can specify in advance how to deal with all possible disputes and eliminate the necessity of third-party arbitrators, thereby reducing the provision and use of intermediary services and reducing transaction costs within the system. Compared with the traditional financial system, Defi transactions are smoother, and the financial services it provides will not be affected by a single point of failure.
Although Defi has many advantages in technology and business model, its development still faces many challenges. Security, as the first element of financial infrastructure, is also an unavoidable topic in Defi development. Within the financial system, the underlying network carries the transaction flow and payment settlement, while the vast amount of data flowing on nodes is related to customer privacy and trade secrets. In addition to that, whether it is institutional coordination and financial supervision in the short term or profit sharing in the future financial scenario, it is necessary to make a trade-off between data sharing and protection. All these cannot be separated from the escort of private computing technology.
Exploration Of PlatON In Constructing Financial Infrastructure
As a global leader in blockchain + privacy computing, PlatON will provide public infrastructure services under the open-source architecture for global AI and distributed application developers, data providers and various communities, institutions and individuals with computing needs through a new generation of private computing architecture consisting of verifiable computing, secure multi-party computing, zero-knowledge proof and homomorphic encryption.

At present, PlatON technology application scenarios have been extended to credit reporting, payment and clearing, key management and other fields. Facing the future all-digital era, one of PlatON’s core strategies is to explore possible paths for building a new generation of financial infrastructure by relying on privacy computing and its technical endowment, so as to promote large-scale transaction services and liquidity governance of data assets. To this end, PlatON officially launched the meta-network Alaya in October 2020. As the prototype network and “business sandbox” of PlatON’s new generation financial infrastructure, Alaya is committed to becoming the “pioneering demonstration area” of the next generation privacy computing and data asset computing infrastructure in the world.
PlatON is also a decentralized and fully open-source project, and anyone who is willing to support its development can contribute and get rewards. Recently, PlatON launched Hackathon activity on DoraHacks developer platform Hackerlink and set up a bonus pool of 170,000 US dollars, aiming at encouraging developers to emerge new inspiration and create new value, and further enriching the ecological application of PlatON and its meta-network Alaya around the private AI computing network. This activity was officially launched on July 21st and is expected to last until the end of September. The idea is tested on the Alaya development and test network or main network to continuously verify the completeness of the basic functions of the network. PlatON welcomes developers from all over the world to submit blockchain projects based on Alaya network to build a secure and credible digital infrastructure.

TRUSTCO CLOSES ADR CHAPTER AND CLEARS PATH TO US LISTING
Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia, 20th Feb 2026 – Trustco Group Holdings Limited (“Trustco”) is ending its American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) programme with the Bank of New York Mellon, effective on or about 23 March 2026. The two parties agreed to wind down the programme under the terms of their existing agreement. In plain terms, an ADR is a certificate that allows a foreign company’s shares to trade in the United States. Trustco launched its ADR programme in 2014 and in 2019 became one of the first Namibian companies to trade on a US securities platform — the OTCQX Best Market.
“We built our ADR programme from nothing in 2014, when most international investors couldn’t point to Namibia on a map. That programme opened the door, together with a 12-year partnership with Bank of New York Mellon, who held our hand from inception to now. But Namibia’s story has changed, and so has Trustco’s,” said Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.

Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.
“International investor interest in Namibia has surged over the past five years as major offshore energy discoveries and a growing pipeline of infrastructure, mining, property and financial services projects draw global capital into the country. Trustco’s own shareholder base has shifted with it, with a growing proportion now US-based. Trustco has previously announced its intention to pursue a direct listing on a US stock exchange. This strategy has not changed,” van Rooyen concluded.
ADR holders have until at least 26 March 2027 to convert their ADRs into the underlying ordinary shares, which can then be transferred to a South African or Namibian brokerage account.
About Trustco:
Trustco Group Holdings Limited is a holding company headquartered in Windhoek, Namibia, that owns subsidiaries engaged in diverse business activities spanning the real estate, mining, insurance, micro-finance, and education sectors.
About Namibia:
Namibia is a Southern African country with a population of approximately three million and a GDP per capita of USD 4 413 in 2025 (IMF). The country is endowed with rich natural resources, with recent major discoveries of oil and gas reserves, lithium deposits and rare earth minerals that are vital for technology demand globally, with developments also underway in its green hydrogen projects. The Namibian government has heralded these discoveries as a transformative period, holding the potential to double the nation’s GDP by 2040.
The country’s economy is projected to have expanded by 3.6% in 2025 and is projected to expand by 3.8% in 2026 (IMF). With its wealth of natural resources, pro-business environment, political stability and increasingly skilled workforce, Namibia offers attractive investment prospects across all sectors.

Totalcare Dental and Dermal Expands Expertise in Wisdom Tooth Extraction Care
Australia, 20th Feb 2026 – Totalcare Dental and Dermal, a respected dental and dermal practice based in Bondi Junction, has expanded its clinical expertise in wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services, strengthening access to comprehensive assessment and surgical management for patients across Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The expansion includes enhanced clinical protocols, additional professional training, and refined treatment planning processes focused on the structured management of impacted and problematic wisdom teeth. The development follows an increase in presentations involving pain, infection, and crowding associated with third molars.
Wisdom teeth generally emerge in the late teenage years or early adulthood. Limited jaw space can contribute to impaction, partial eruption, or misalignment. These conditions may result in inflammation, recurrent infection, decay in adjacent teeth, and gum disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are widely regarded as important in preventing more serious oral health complications.
As part of the strengthened approach to wisdom tooth extraction Sydney care, Totalcare Dental and Dermal has incorporated comprehensive pre-operative assessments into its clinical framework. Diagnostic imaging is used to evaluate tooth positioning, bone structure, and proximity to surrounding nerves. This process supports detailed treatment planning and informed clinical decision-making. Post-operative care protocols have also been formalised to monitor healing and reduce the likelihood of complications.
Ishara Goonewardene, Owner of Totalcare Dental and Dermal, said the enhanced focus on wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services reflects the clinical importance of timely and carefully managed intervention.
“Wisdom tooth complications can have a significant impact on oral health and overall comfort when not addressed appropriately,” Ishara Goonewardene said. “Expanded clinical capability enables careful assessment of each case and management in accordance with established safety and surgical standards.”

The enhanced service supports both routine and complex extractions. Impacted wisdom teeth, particularly those positioned close to nerves or beneath the gum line, require detailed evaluation and precise surgical technique. The practice continues to provide sedation dentistry options for eligible patients, assisting in the management of dental anxiety and procedural discomfort within a monitored clinical setting.
Clear communication before and after treatment forms part of the structured care pathway. Patients receive information regarding preparation, recovery expectations, and follow-up appointments. Emphasis is placed on infection control procedures, pain management strategies, and monitoring of healing progress to support safe outcomes.
Totalcare Dental and Dermal provides a wide range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, orthodontics, dental implants, and emergency care. Services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and sedation dentistry are also available. The expanded wisdom tooth extraction Sydney expertise complements these offerings by supporting coordinated treatment planning when surgical intervention forms part of broader oral health management.
Dental practitioners often recommend assessment of wisdom teeth during the mid-teen years, even in the absence of symptoms. Radiographic examination can help identify developing impaction or alignment concerns. Early evaluation may allow for planned intervention before complications arise, potentially reducing surgical complexity and recovery time.

The practice’s location at Shop 3, Ground Level/1 Spring St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022 provides convenient access for residents, students, and workers seeking wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services. According to the clinic, the updated wisdom tooth care protocols have been integrated into routine consultations and referral pathways.
Ongoing professional development remains a component of the service expansion. Clinical staff participate in continued training aligned with current surgical techniques and regulatory standards. Attention is given to patient education, informed consent processes, and structured post-operative review.
Ishara Goonewardene said continued refinement of oral surgery services will remain a focus in the coming years.
“Future planning involves continued investment in clinical training and evidence-based protocols to support safe and effective wisdom tooth management,” Ishara Goonewardene said. “Maintaining high standards of care while adapting to evolving patient needs will remain central to practice development.”
