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

Taipei, Taiwan, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire
Investment Positions Nocera at the Intersection of the Global AI and Energy Infrastructure Build-Out, a Market Projected to Approach $7 Trillion by 2030
Nocera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCRA) (“Nocera” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire an equity interest in INERGX, an integrated energy storage and power platform being built to design, deploy and service mission-critical power and battery energy-storage systems supporting AI data centers, defense, industrial operations and critical infrastructure. Through this investment, Nocera is positioning itself at the intersection of one of the fastest-growing segments of the global AI infrastructure ecosystem, where reliable, scalable power has rapidly emerged as one of the defining constraints on next-generation artificial intelligence deployment.
The investment represents another significant milestone in Nocera’s ongoing transformation into Nocera Holdings, a diversified technology-focused holding company pursuing strategic opportunities across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotech, blockchain and digital assets. As hyperscale AI deployments continue to accelerate worldwide, management believes dependable power infrastructure has become one of the world’s most valuable strategic assets. Through this transaction, Nocera is establishing a position within the energy infrastructure underpinning the global AI build-out, positioning the Company at the convergence of two of today’s most compelling long-term growth markets: artificial intelligence and mission-critical energy infrastructure.
Nocera’s Role and Growth Strategy for INERGX
Nocera intends to serve as an active strategic partner to INERGX, leveraging the capital markets expertise, public-company experience, acquisition-sourcing capabilities and international relationships that sit at the core of the Nocera Holdings strategy. Management believes these capabilities can help accelerate INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy, broaden access to growth capital, strengthen strategic partnerships and support the commercialization and long-term expansion of its integrated platform across multiple high-growth end markets.
Specifically, Nocera expects to support INERGX by contributing capital markets and financing expertise to assist with platform expansion and future acquisitions; leveraging Nocera’s public-company infrastructure, governance and disclosure experience as INERGX continues to mature; utilizing its acquisition-sourcing network and international relationships to identify strategic opportunities; and providing operational and strategic guidance designed to help institutionalize the platform as it scales.
Management believes the INERGX investment represents the blueprint for the type of long-term value Nocera Holdings intends to create across its portfolio by identifying differentiated technology businesses positioned within powerful secular growth trends and helping accelerate their development through strategic capital, public-market expertise and disciplined execution. The Company believes combining emerging technology platforms with strategic capital allocation, operational support and public-market resources can create meaningful long-term shareholder value while expanding Nocera Holdings’ presence across multiple high-growth industries.
“Artificial intelligence cannot scale without power, and we believe energy infrastructure will become one of the defining investment themes of this decade,” said Andy Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Nocera. “INERGX represents exactly the type of platform our transformation into Nocera Holdings was designed to pursue. Our objective extends well beyond making an investment—we intend to help build a category-leading business by contributing our capital markets expertise, acquisition experience and public-company capabilities while supporting INERGX’s buy-and-build strategy. We believe this investment represents another important step in positioning Nocera at the center of the technologies enabling the next generation of AI, critical infrastructure and industrial innovation. At the same time, we continue to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic investments and partnerships that align with our vision of building a diversified global technology holding company focused on creating long-term shareholder value.”
About the INERGX Platform
INERGX is being built to address one of the most pressing challenges facing organizations operating in increasingly power-constrained environments: the ability to design, build, deploy and manage mission-critical energy systems through a single integrated partner rather than relying on multiple point-solution providers. The platform is being developed as a vertically integrated, chemistry- and power-agnostic ecosystem that combines battery technology and intellectual property, system assembly, testing and certification, AI-driven battery management and monitoring software, recycling and repowering capabilities, with each component designed to reinforce the next while delivering a comprehensive end-to-end solution.
Unlike traditional equipment providers, INERGX’s commercial model is designed to create value well beyond the initial hardware sale. The platform is intended to use hardware deployments as the customer entry point while generating recurring revenue opportunities throughout each system’s lifecycle through optimization, monitoring, predictive maintenance, servicing, uninterrupted power solutions and periodic repowering. Management believes this lifecycle approach creates the potential for durable customer relationships and recurring revenue streams while positioning INERGX to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for intelligent energy infrastructure.
INERGX is assembling this platform through an active buy-and-build acquisition strategy targeting complementary technologies, intellectual property and operating businesses across the energy value chain. The Company is focused on serving mission-critical end markets including AI and hyperscale data centers, industrial and mining operations, defense applications, renewable energy infrastructure and other sectors where reliable, intelligent power systems are becoming increasingly essential.
“The market no longer wants point solutions—it wants a trusted partner capable of designing, building, deploying and managing mission-critical power infrastructure from end to end,” said Dominic White, Founder of INERGX. “That is precisely the platform we are building. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries around the world, dependable energy infrastructure is becoming increasingly mission-critical. Nocera’s capital markets expertise, public-company experience and strategic growth capabilities make them an ideal long-term partner as we execute our acquisition strategy, expand our platform and pursue the significant opportunities emerging across AI infrastructure, defense and industrial energy markets.”
Market Backdrop
The investment comes as reliable power rapidly emerges as one of the defining constraints on the global expansion of artificial intelligence. Hyperscale AI deployments, accelerated data-center development and increasing electrification across industry are driving unprecedented investment in the energy infrastructure required to support next-generation computing workloads. As AI adoption continues to accelerate, management believes the ability to deliver resilient, scalable and intelligent power solutions will become increasingly valuable across both public and private sector markets.
According to McKinsey & Company, global AI infrastructure spending is projected to approach $7 trillion by 2030, with more than $5 trillion expected to be invested directly into AI workload infrastructure. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency projects global data-center electricity demand will more than double to approximately 945 terawatt-hours by 2030—roughly equivalent to the entire annual electricity consumption of Japan. Management believes these powerful long-term trends are creating significant demand for intelligent, mission-critical power and battery energy-storage platforms such as INERGX, reinforcing the strategic rationale behind Nocera’s investment and its continued expansion into the infrastructure enabling the global AI economy.
Management believes the INERGX investment represents another meaningful step in Nocera’s ongoing evolution into Nocera Holdings. The Company continues to actively evaluate additional acquisitions, strategic partnerships and investments across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotechnology, blockchain, digital assets and other emerging technology sectors as it executes its long-term strategy of building a diversified global technology holding company.

Gerard McMann Expands Canadian Investor Education Programme with Market Insights and Retirement Planning
Montreal, Canada, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire
The Montreal-based trading platform is broadening its commitment to Canadian investors with a suite of new educational tools, updated market analysis resources, and enhanced retirement account guidance designed to serve both first-time and experienced traders across the country.
Gerard McMann, the AI-powered financial trading and investment platform operating out of Montreal, Quebec, has announced a significant expansion of its investor education and market resources programme for the Canadian market. The initiative reflects a growing demand from the firm’s Canadian client base for structured, accessible learning tools that complement the platform’s existing trading infrastructure.
The expansion adds dedicated sections to the Gerard McMann broker Canada offering, covering retirement account planning, compound interest modelling, cryptocurrency fundamentals, and multi-asset portfolio construction. Each resource has been developed with both newer investors and seasoned traders in mind, recognising that the Canadian market spans a wide range of experience levels and financial goals.
“Canadian investors deserve the same depth of resources and platform capability that institutional clients take for granted. That is the standard we are building toward.” Press Release responsable, Laura Hughes commented.
At the heart of the update is a set of AI-driven market insight tools that aggregate and interpret live data across equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, and digital assets. Rather than delivering raw data feeds, the tools are designed to surface context: why a market is moving, what historical patterns are relevant, and what variables are worth tracking for a given asset class. For Canadian investors navigating cross-border exposure between TSX-listed securities and US-listed instruments, the contextual layer adds a dimension that standard brokerage platforms do not typically provide.
Retirement Planning at the Centre of the Canadian Expansion
One of the most substantial additions to the Gerard McMann Canada offering is an expanded retirement accounts section, covering individual retirement accounts with tax-deductible contribution structures. The section includes a rebuilt compound calculator that allows users to model different contribution scenarios over time, incorporating variable return assumptions and adjustable contribution frequencies.
Retirement planning has historically been underserved by online trading platforms, which tend to focus on active traders rather than on the longer-horizon investor building toward a specific financial outcome. Gerard McMann’s decision to expand this area reflects feedback gathered from its Canadian user base, where demand for structured retirement guidance has grown alongside broader awareness of the limitations of state pension provision.
Gerard McMann Canada reviews collected from active users over the past twelve months have repeatedly highlighted the retirement account tools as a differentiating factor. Clients note that the combination of a capable trading platform with meaningful long-term planning resources is not something they had found elsewhere before making the switch.
“The most consistent piece of feedback we receive from Canadian clients is that they wanted a platform that took their long-term goals as seriously as their short-term trades.” Laura states.
Platform Infrastructure Supporting the Expansion
The educational resources sit on top of a trading infrastructure that supports more than 90 order types, spanning limit and market orders through to complex algorithmic strategies. Real-time trade confirmations, margin calculations, and portfolio assessment tools are available across web, mobile, and desktop environments, giving Canadian investors access to institutional-grade execution regardless of how or where they choose to trade.
Client securities accounts at Gerard McMann are protected. These protections apply in the event of broker-dealer failure and are independent of market conditions.
The platform’s existing infrastructure already supports clients across multiple asset classes, including equities, options, futures, foreign currencies, fixed income securities, and cryptocurrency. The July 2026 expansion does not alter the underlying trading engine but adds a resource layer that the company believes will improve outcomes for Canadian investors who arrive at the platform with clear goals but limited prior experience.
Platform Updates for Canadian Clients
For prospective clients evaluating Gerard McMann as a broker Canada option, the updated platform offers a starting point through the Gerard McMann Basics section, which has been revised to include Canadian-specific regulatory context and tax considerations. Platform tutorials have been updated to reflect the current interface, and a new series of investment concept guides covers topics including asset allocation, currency risk for cross-border portfolios, and the mechanics of dividend reinvestment.
Client onboarding follows a structured process: account registration, identity verification, account funding, and access to the full platform, including research tools and educational content. The company’s Canadian support line operates alongside its international contacts and is staffed by advisers familiar with the specific questions Canadian investors typically bring to a first consultation.
The expansion is live as of July 2026 and available to all new and existing Gerard McMann clients with Canadian accounts.
About Gerard McMann
Gerard McMann is a global AI-powered financial trading and investment platform headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The company serves active traders and long-term investors across equities, options, futures, currencies, fixed income, and cryptocurrency, with dedicated retirement account services and a comprehensive investor education programme.

Yellow Stone Finance Group Launches Performance-Focused CFD Trading Platform for Forex, Metals and Global Indices
London, UK, July 8th, 2026, FinanceWire
Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd. has rolled out a trading platform built around three things retail and active traders consistently ask for: tighter spreads, faster execution, and access to a wider spread of markets from a single account.
The platform, available now at yellowstone-financial.com, gives traders exposure to more than 10,000 instruments across forex, shares, metals, indices, commodities and crypto CFDs all routed through the same account, the same margin pool and the same pricing engine.
For a company operating in the forex and CFD space, where execution speed and pricing transparency are often the deciding factor between brokers, Yellow Stone is leaning into both. The firm’s matching engine targets average execution speeds of around 40 milliseconds, with raw ECN pricing pulled from a pool of more than 25 tier-1 liquidity providers the kind of infrastructure more commonly associated with institutional desks than retail-facing brokers.
“Most traders don’t switch brokers because of one big problem they switch because of a dozen small frictions that add up: a slow fill here, a wider-than-expected spread there, a platform that doesn’t quite keep pace with how they actually trade,” a Yellow Stone spokesperson said. “We built this platform around removing those frictions rather than adding more bells and whistles on top of them.” Karsten Ziegler, Press Release Responsable states.
That focus shows up in how client funds are handled as well. Yellow Stone holds all client deposits in segregated accounts with tier-1 UK and EU banks, kept entirely separate from the company’s own operating funds. Retail clients also benefit from negative balance protection, meaning that even in fast-moving conditions a weekend gap or a sudden re-pricing an account cannot lose more than the equity it holds. The company also publishes quarterly best-execution reports covering average spreads, fill rates and slippage, a level of disclosure that isn’t standard practice across the industry.
Traders can access the markets through Yellow Stone’s browser-based WebTrader, native iOS and Android apps, or via REST and FIX 4.4 API connectivity for those running systematic or algorithmic strategies. Spreads on major forex pairs start from 0.0 pips, and accounts can typically be opened and funded in under five minutes, with deposit options spanning major cards, PayPal, Stripe, Wise and Bitcoin.
Whether someone is trading currency pairs around economic data releases, hedging commodity exposure, or running an automated strategy through the API, the underlying pitch is the same: one account, deep liquidity, and infrastructure that doesn’t get in the way of the trade.
About Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd
Yellow Stone Finance Group Ltd is a UK-registered CFD broker offering trading across forex, shares, metals, indices, commodities and crypto markets through its WebTrader platform, mobile apps and API access. The company is headquartered in London, England, and focuses on execution quality, pricing transparency and segregated client fund protection. More information is available at yellowstone-financial.com.
