New digital era, new demand of security

With the advent of the era of big data, the leakage and abuse of personal privacy data are common, which not only disturbs the normal market order, but also seriously restricts the innovation and development of the digital economy. In recent years, many countries have carried out relevant legislation of digital economy and data governance, which makes the legal requirements of personal privacy data more rigorous, and the supervision system is becoming increasingly strict. The various online scenarios led by the Covid-19 not only bring convenience to our life, but also cause a lot of security demand of data protection

Therefore, the data producers, such as government agencies, operators, platforms, are constantly raising the legal standards of storage, transmission and transaction. It has brought a problem to the data owners: how can fully utilize the data resource endowment to create business profits and social value, meanwhile ensure that the data privacy is protected in accordance with supervision provisions? The real demand behind the problem is bound to give birth to new technologies. The combination of blockchain and secure multi-party computation provides a new solution for breaking the “data island”, ensuring data security and releasing data value.

Recently, as the leader in the global blockchain industry, PlatON has started a new journey in the construction of privacy computation infrastructure, launching the secure multi-party computation ceremony—— Lumino. Lumino aims to create system parameters in a decentralized way, which could help build a real community-based, open-source blockchain ecosystem and ensure the underlying security of the main network and the reliability of future digital applications.

The “chemical reaction” of blockchain and secure multi-party computation

To understand the essence of Lumino, we need to understand the blockchain and secure multi-party computation. Blockchain is a technical solution that does not rely on a third party and a network that stores, verifies, transmits and communicates through its own distributed nodes. The core problems it solves are network decentralization, data consistency and tamper-prevent. Secure multi-party computation is to solve the problem of privacy protection among a group of mutual distrusted participants. It should ensure the independence, correctness decentralization and do not disclose the data to other participants. Secure multi-party computation was firstly proposed by professor Yao Qizhi, who is a Chinese computer scientist and the winner of Turing prize. Since 2010, the development of executable general compiler makes its concept gradually well-known.

It can be seen that both blockchain and multi-party security computation are technologies dealing with data interaction between a group of participants according to specific rules. However, blockchain is mainly used to verify the correctness of the calculation, and the purpose is to achieve the consistent recognition of the results and prevent the results from being tampered with; the purpose of secure multi-party computation (MPC) is to get specific results in the case of data confidentiality, and emphasis on privacy protection in data share situation.

When secure multi-party computation encounters blockchain, the integration has become a technology trend that attracts much attention. Due to the different traits of blockchain and multi-party security computation, they are not exclusive and can complement each other. Blockchain can improve its ability of data confidentiality by using secure multi-party computation to adapt to complex environments; while secure multi-party computation can complete redundant computation with the help of blockchain to obtain verifiable and unique results.

The combination of MPC and blockchain is ultimately to meet the more complex and changeable real needs, especially for various environments of data exchange and sharing. For example, secure multi-party computation can realize key management in the blockchain wallet, and divide the management right of assets reasonably to reduce the risk of single key loss. It can also realize the cross-domain access of EHR data. Based on personal digital identity infrastructure, hospital A could apply for data access to hospital B by obtaining the patient’s authorization, which does not need directly return the patient’s medical record data. It would meet the dual goals of diagnosis needs and privacy protection.

New practice in privacy protection——PlatON & Lumino

Secure multi-party computation is essentially a solution for data security. It is consisted of cryptographic technologies such as obfuscation circuit, secret sharing, homomorphic encryption, etc. PlatON has already realized the layout in these fileds. The key to secure multi-party computation is to use zero knowledge proof to prove that there is no leakage, which is also the key to Lumino.

Most of the existing efficient zero-knowledge proof algorithms need to create system parameters in a centralized way, so the third party who creates the parameters may forge proofs to destroy the underlying security of the main network. Lumino aims to generate the system parameters of the zero-knowledge proof through secure multi-party computation. In this process, the parameters are generated by members altogether, so they will not be obtained or tampered by a single party. This also constitutes the cornerstone of the subsequent privacy protection application. Only when the activity held safely, the subsequent decentralized application will be more secure.

This ceremony is PlatON’s latest practice in the field of privacy protection, and Lumino’s goal is to link the world’s cryptographic geeks to build a global privacy computation infrastructure. In the future community-based and open-source blockchain ecosystem, every participant is an important node, and every participation will make the underlying network more secure. Therefore, this is not only an activity, but also a collective wisdom full of ritual sense. PlatON will also take this opportunity to realize the vision of building infrastructure in the digital era, and make every effort to be the best practitioner in the field of privacy security.

Atlanta-based development and investment firm advances multiple luxury residential projects throughout Buckhead, Loring Heights, East Cobb, and surrounding high-growth markets

United States, 12th May 2026 – Vice Holdings LLC, an Atlanta-based luxury real estate development and investment firm, is continuing to expand its footprint across Metro Atlanta through a growing portfolio of architecturally driven residential developments, strategic acquisitions, and high-end infill construction projects.

The company specializes in modern luxury residential development, focusing on transforming underutilized properties into premium, design-forward living spaces tailored to today’s evolving luxury buyer. Vice Holdings oversees every phase of the development process, including acquisition strategy, site evaluation, planning, construction management, redevelopment, and final delivery.

Among the firm’s recent and active developments is a three-level modern luxury residence located at 1490 Brooklyn Avenue NW in West Buckhead, featuring a rooftop terrace and contemporary architectural design. The company is also actively redeveloping properties throughout Loring Heights as part of a broader long-term neighborhood investment strategy focused on revitalization, elevated design standards, and long-term value creation.

Vice Holdings is additionally developing a 10-townhome luxury residential community in an exclusive East Cobb location, while advancing plans for another signature Buckhead infill development at 998 Northrope Drive NW Atlanta, a nearly 4,000-square-foot modern luxury residence featuring a private pool, spa, rooftop terrace, and high-end custom amenities designed to reflect the future of upscale urban living in Atlanta.

As Atlanta continues to experience sustained demand for luxury housing and modern infill development, Vice Holdings LLC is positioning itself at the intersection of strategic investment, elevated architecture, and market-driven residential design.

“Luxury development requires more than construction expertise, it requires vision, disciplined execution, strategic planning, and a deep understanding of how modern buyers want to live,” said Tommy Femi Ashadele, founder of Vice Holdings LLC. “Our focus is creating architecturally significant projects that combine lifestyle, functionality, long-term investment value, and thoughtful design while contributing positively to the surrounding community.”

The firm’s development philosophy centers around what it describes as a “Land to Luxury” approach, a vertically integrated strategy that transforms raw land, aging properties, and underutilized sites into premium modern residences through disciplined planning, strategic acquisitions, and high-quality execution.

Working alongside architects, engineers, consultants, and construction professionals, Vice Holdings manages each project with an emphasis on modern aesthetics, efficient operations, structural integrity, and long-term market sustainability. The company believes the future of residential development in Atlanta lies in intentional, design-driven projects that enhance both lifestyle experience and asset value.

With active developments spanning Buckhead, Midtown, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, East Cobb, and the greater Metro Atlanta market, Vice Holdings LLC is also investing heavily in expanding its digital presence, strategic partnerships, and development portfolio as it continues scaling operations across Georgia’s luxury residential sector.

“Our objective is not simply to build homes,” Ashadele added. “We aim to create enduring residential experiences and strategically positioned developments that reflect where the Atlanta luxury market is heading over the next decade.”

Upcoming Gardners integration will help UK booksellers connect catalog data, availability, ecommerce, Shopify POS-connected operations, and TikTok Shop access through one integrated system.

St. Petersburg, FL, United States, 12th May 2026— Emersoft, the St. Petersburg-based team behind the Emersoft Books Shopify App, today announced an upcoming partnership with UK book wholesaler Gardners. The collaboration will enable UK booksellers to access Gardners’ catalog data and availability through Emersoft’s platform, delivering a modern, Shopify-native way to automate ecommerce, POS-connected bookstore operations, and more from one integrated system.

After successfully serving more than 100 booksellers across the United States, Emersoft is bringing its Shopify-native bookstore infrastructure to the UK market. Set to be available in early June 2026, the Gardners and Emersoft Books App integration will help UK booksellers connect their Shopify stores to Gardners catalog and availability data, support ecommerce and Shopify POS-connected operations, and tap into TikTok Shop through Shopify’s native sales channel capabilities.

For independent booksellers, the integration is designed to reduce the manual work that often sits between running a physical bookstore and selling online. Catalog data, product availability, ecommerce listings, customer orders, and POS-connected workflows should not have to live in disconnected systems. With the upcoming Gardners integration, UK booksellers will have a clearer path to operate through Shopify while keeping more sales in their own store.

“After working with more than 100 booksellers in the US, we have seen the same pattern again and again: booksellers want modern ecommerce, stronger catalog access, and fewer disconnected systems,” said Marcin Ruman, Founder, Emersoft.

“Partnering with Gardners gives UK booksellers a practical path to run catalog data, availability, Shopify ecommerce, POS-connected workflows, and TikTok Shop selling through one connected ecosystem. The goal is simple: help booksellers say yes to more customers and keep more sales in their own store,” said Pawel Marciniuk, Co-Founder and CTO, Emersoft.

“At Gardners, through our partnership with Emersoft, we are focused on enabling booksellers to access the ever-growing digital marketplace more easily. By making our data and availability accessible through modern platforms and providing access to our fast and efficient CDF service, we aim to support retailers in expanding their reach, improving efficiency, and continuing to thrive both in-store and online,” said Nigel Wyman, Chief Sales Officer, Gardners.

The Emersoft Books Shopify App helps bookstores manage catalog data, import titles, automate fulfillment workflows, handle pre-orders, enrich product metadata, and connect online selling with broader bookstore operations inside Shopify. The product is built for bookstores, authors, publishers, and book-focused creators who need a direct-to-reader commerce system without building custom infrastructure themselves.

The upcoming Gardners integration expands that model for the UK market by connecting domestic UK catalog and availability data into Emersoft’s Shopify-native bookstore system. For omnichannel booksellers, this creates a stronger operational bridge between online storefronts, physical retail, Shopify POS, and emerging sales channels like TikTok Shop.

“This collaboration is just getting started,” added Marcin Ruman. “We are excited for what is ahead and for the role this can play in helping UK booksellers modernize without losing the independence, customer relationships, and community presence that make their stores matter.”

The Gardners integration is expected to be available in early June 2026, with onboarding details and launch information to be shared directly with UK booksellers ahead of release.

About Emersoft

Emersoft builds Shopify-native commerce infrastructure for bookstores, authors, publishers, and book-focused creators. Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Emersoft has served more than 100 US-based booksellers through the Emersoft Books Shopify App, which helps merchants manage catalog data, import titles, automate fulfillment workflows, support pre-orders, enrich product metadata, and connect online selling with broader bookstore operations inside Shopify. Emersoft is also a Certified Shopify Partner, offering Shopify design, development, onboarding, and technical support for merchants building or expanding their bookstore on Shopify.
