Lumino, lightening up the world of secure multi-party computation

Published

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.

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.
