Decentralized And Fully Open-Source Project PlatON Aims To Construct New Generation Financial Infrastructure

Published

on

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.

The World’s First Global Energy Drink Ranking Accidentally Revealed Something Much Bigger

Published

on

What’s Actually in Your Energy Drink Depends on Where You Live

MONTREAL, QC – 21/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – A beverage expert spent six months collecting and assessing energy drinks from all six continents to create the world’s first objective global ranking of the category. But during the process, an unexpected discovery emerged: depending on the continent, energy drinks are fundamentally different products.

WORLDWIDE COLLECTION & ASSESSMENT

Pat Eckert, an internationally recognised German beverage professional and certified water sommelier, realised that nobody had ever created an objective global ranking of energy drinks. This was despite energy drinks being one of the world’s largest and most discussed beverage categories, while cars, phones, wines, films, and many other consumer sectors already have serious worldwide rankings.

So over roughly half a year, he and his team collected energy drinks from all six inhabited continents and assessed each one using the same professional 36-criteria framework, focused on measurable product quality, ingredients, transparency, and formulation standards. Top-performing products were submitted for laboratory testing and analytical verification. This became the Six Continents Index – built to be professional, rigorous, and objective.

The original goal was simple: to identify which brands objectively perform best worldwide.

However, during the assessment, another finding emerged almost accidentally: energy drinks are not really the same category across continents. Different regions follow very different product philosophies – from Europe’s strong focus on pasteurisation, to Asia’s preference for real sugar, to North America’s heavy reliance on artificial formulations, sweeteners and preservatives.

So the project ultimately became both the world’s first objective global energy drink ranking and a snapshot of how differently the category is formulated around the world.

The Shock FindingS

  • Europe goes natural. South America goes artificial.
    85.7% of European energy drinks were pasteurised, compared with 12% in North America and under 1% in South America.
  • Asia still uses real sugar. North America barely does.
    In Asia, 78.9% of energy drinks used real sugar. In North America: just 8%. They are effectively drinking a different product.
  • North America runs on sweeteners. The rest of the world mostly does not.
    84% of North American energy drinks relied entirely on artificial sweeteners. In Europe: just 4.2%. In Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa: almost none.
  • Australia vitaminizes. North America simplifies.
    Australian drinks averaged 4.2 vitamins per product, compared with just 2.9 in North America.
  • Aspartame is still used worldwide, especially in Africa
    Aspartame (classified by WHO/IARC as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B)), was used in 10.5% of products worldwide, with 43% of those aspartame-containing products found in Africa.
  • BPA-free labelling was almost invisible worldwide.
    Only 1.4% of the global sample clearly carried BPA-free labelling.
  • North America – the world’s largest energy drink market by revenue – ranked last overall among the six continents.

Europe pasteurises. North America sweetens artificially. Asia uses real sugar. Australia vitaminizes. Same category, completely different product philosophies.

GLOBAL BRAND NOTES

Among the many brands assessed across six continents, two stood out for reasons beyond the ranking. Red Bull was the only energy drink brand found in virtually every market assessed worldwide, while Japan’s Lipovitan-D was the oldest brand in the study, having been on the market since 1962.

HIGHEST-SCORING PRODUCTS

At the continental level, Europe achieved the highest overall score in the index. Australia & Oceania ranked second, followed by Asia in third place.

At brand level, HELL Energy from Hungary achieved the highest overall score for objective product quality in the index. Second place went to 28 BLACK from Germany, followed by TAKE OFF, also from Germany.

FULL FINDINGS

Further findings, methodology, and background information are available on request at www.sixcontinentsindex.com

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Six Continents Index was led by Pat Eckert and his team. Eckert is a German certified water sommelier and independent beverage expert whose previous work has been featured by The Guardian, ABC News, The Telegraph, L’Express, Der Spiegel, and the BBC.

Assessed brands were not notified in advance, did not apply, and had no involvement in the evaluation. No paid participation, sponsorship, or commercial influence played any role.

Techysquad Introduces Unified Forex CRM & Client Onboarding Platform for Modern Brokerages

Published

on

A single platform combining Forex CRM, automated client onboarding, and full brokerage workflow management — built for brokers who demand speed, compliance, and scale.

Dubai, UAE, May 21st, 2026 — Techysquad, a specialist provider of financial technology solutions, providing a unified Forex CRM platform — an integrated system combining client relationship management, client onboarding software, and brokerage automation under one roof. The platform is purpose-built for Forex brokers, prop trading firms, and financial services operators seeking to streamline operations, reduce onboarding friction, and accelerate client growth.

What Problem Does It Solve?

For years, brokerages have juggled disconnected tools — a standalone CRM here, a KYC portal there, manual onboarding workflows patched together with spreadsheets. The result is slow client activation, compliance risk, and lost revenue. Techysquad’s brokerage CRM eliminates this fragmentation entirely.

The platform delivers a complete, connected workflow: leads enter the system, move through automated KYC and document verification, get assigned to account managers, and are activated — all within a single interface. There is no data migration, no switching between platforms, and no manual handoffs.

Platform Highlights

The Techysquad Forex CRM platform is built around three core pillars. First, a full-featured brokerage CRM that tracks every client interaction, manages IB (Introducing Broker) relationships, and provides real-time pipeline visibility across sales and retention teams. Second, an end-to-end client onboarding software module that automates document collection, identity verification, account approval, and welcome communications — reducing activation time from days to minutes. Third, a brokerage automation engine that handles routine tasks including deposit and withdrawal processing, compliance alerts, reporting, and multi-level IB commission calculations without manual intervention.

Why This Matters For The Forex Industry

The global retail Forex market continues to expand, with new brokers launching across emerging markets and existing firms under pressure to improve client experience while containing operational costs. The best Forex CRM is one that doesn’t just store contacts — it drives revenue by shortening the journey from lead to funded account. Techysquad has engineered its platform with that outcome as the primary design principle.

“Brokers don’t have time to manage software — they need software that manages itself. That’s exactly what we built.”

Availability

The Techysquad Forex CRM platform is available globally with immediate access for new clients. Brokerages can request a demo or begin onboarding at techysquad.com. The team offers white-glove implementation support, custom integrations with leading MT4/MT5 trading platforms, and dedicated account management from day one.
