Platon Aims To Become The Public Infrastructute Of Privacy Computing To Open Up Business Prospects For The Crypto Space

In the Information Age, Data Becomes a New Factor of Productivity

In economics, factors of production, also known as production inputs, are essential resources for the production of goods and services. In his epochal work “Principles of Economics”, famous British economist Marshall put forward the theory of four factors of production — land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial talent. National income (NI) is the reward of four factors, and that is, national income (NI) = labor wage (w) + land rent (r) + capital interest (i) + operating profit (π). This “four-in-one formula” sums up the core of western economic production theory and distribution theory, which has been widely accepted for more than a century.

However, factors of production are a historical category that evolves with the development of economy and society. The birth and development of the Internet has changed the mode of production, life and consumption, and it promoted many important and profound changes, and played an increasingly important role in economic development, social life and national governance. The full exploitation and effective utilization of all kinds of data has raised production efficiency to an unprecedented level. Data has become an indispensable factor in economic activities and a new generation of production factors after land, energy, population and food.

Privacy Brings Data Dilemma and MPC Realizes Data Collaborative Computing

Nowadays, people have already extended their social activities to the network space. Every day, people contribute data continuously to the network space. A large amount of data is collected, calculated, analyzed, excavated and this goes beyond the original data level of information value.

However, because of the plain text nature of the data, the owner loses ownership of the data once the data is granted to others for use. Therefore, to ensure the privacy protection of data, a huge amount of data managed by enterprises cannot be exchanged and co-calculated with the data held by other enterprises, which is why a large number of data cannot generate value.

The emergence of privacy computing ends this dilemma. Yao Qizhi, a member of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences, proposed secure multi-party computing (MPC) in 1982. In a nutshell, participants have to enter information to calculate an agreed function. In addition to the accuracy of the calculations, they must also protect the privacy of each participant’s input data. Specifically, there are now n participants, each of whom, xi, is aware of the xi they entered, who together calculate a pre-agreed function f (x1 ,…, xn) = y. In this way, all participants will get the final y value, but they will not be able to know the specific data entered by the other participants. Thus, with local data not aggregated and privacy not divulged, each party can still achieve a common desired result by performing the operations of the given logic.

Privacy computing opens up huge business prospects for the digital world (Crypto Space)

Bitcoin’s pioneering combination of virtual currencies and peer-to-peer payment systems open the door to decentralization. With the introduction of intelligent contract function, Ethernet has greatly improved the scalability of blockchain, and all kinds of applications can be deployed on blockchain. Because of these characteristics, early public blockchain networks such as Bitcoin and Ethernet have been developed, attracting a large number of blockchain and encryption enthusiasts in the world, and many traditional institutions have been entering the area of blockchain, exploring various possibilities of decentralization.

The combination of privacy computing and blockchain is expected to put data ownership back in the hands of data producers, meaning that vast amounts of data can be counted without affecting privacy and ownership, so that the owners can profit and data can burst out with greater value. Therefore, the blockchain project based on privacy calculation is naturally suitable for the commercial practice in the fields of financial, medical, scientific research, government affairs, and logistics and so on.

“Operator” PlatON network for blockchain data

PlatON, the representative project of the combination of privacy computing and blockchain currently, is based on the basic attribute of blockchain and is supported by privacy computing network, and provides the next generation Internet infrastructure protocol with the core characteristics of “computing interoperation”. PlatON’s vision is to become the public infrastructure for privacy computing of the next generation, publishing privacy computing algorithms through contracts, and implementing MPC protocols with data providers and computing nodes for privacy protection requirements, so as to realize cooperative computing of data. PlatON, designed to price data flows, is all about computing and data, which is the most fundamental part of future human production. PlatON can achieve large-scale application landing and commercial scenario implementation:

For example:

I. Build a wider credit collection network. The public chain that provides private computing can provide user with customizable computing logic template and multi-party access mode, and in the case that the access party’s data does not need to be collected and shared, only the credit inquiry results are output to the demander, and the original data can be encrypted and stored in the blockchain system to meet all kinds of audit needs.

II. Supply chain financial infrastructure. The public chain of private computing is based on blockchain technology and cryptography algorithm, which can provide a platform solution for supply chain finance to digitally identify, process and transfer assets. Construct a new financial financing model of supply chain in which the information of the upstream and downstream enterprises can be shared symmetrically, the credit value of the core enterprises can be transmitted, the business tickets can be split and the risk can be controlled, and provide convenient data traceability for the supervision and enhance the service efficiency of the industry as a whole.

To build the public infrastructure for the digital age, PlatON continuously optimizes technology, iterates the underlying infrastructure, and breaks through the “impossible triangle” in terms of performance. “Impossible triangle” means that it is difficult to achieve both a good “decentralization” and a good “security” of the system in a blockchain and a high “transaction processing performance” at the same time. The most well-known blockchain projects in the industry are Bitcoin, Ethernet, and EOS. At present, using native Token transfer performance test method and EOS under the same testing conditions, PlatON has achieved a comprehensive performance leader in the quasi-real environment, and will continue to focus on the data field and accelerate the construction of data market.

Press Release

Ronel Lamour Junior launches a self-check for South Florida homeowners before the next AC breakdown

Published

on

Why a self-check, and why now

Florida, USA, 12th September 2026,  ZEX PR WIRE, Ronel Lamour Junior has spent about 16 years working on residential and light-commercial HVAC systems across South Florida. Most of the emergency calls he takes in peak cooling season share a pattern: a problem that started small and got ignored until the system stopped altogether.

“By the time someone calls me on a Saturday because the house is 85 degrees, the actual failure usually started weeks earlier,” Ronel said. “A dirty filter, a clogged drain line, a thermostat that’s been acting strange. Most of it gives you warning signs.”

He built a short list of checks a homeowner can run in about ten minutes, without tools or technical training. He is releasing it publicly rather than keeping it as something he only mentions on service calls.

What the self-check covers

The list has five items, each tied to a common failure Ronel sees repeatedly in Florida homes:

Airflow at the vents. Weak airflow from multiple rooms often points to a dirty filter or a blocked return, not a failing compressor. Ronel recommends checking the filter first, before anything else.

Water near the indoor unit. Standing water or a musty smell near the air handler usually means a clogged condensate line. In Florida’s humidity, this is one of the most common calls he gets, and it is often caught early if someone notices the water before it damages flooring or drywall.

Outdoor unit clearance. Leaves, mulch, or grass clippings packed against the outdoor condenser restrict airflow and make the whole system work harder. Ronel suggests a quick visual check for anything piled against the unit, especially after storms.

Thermostat behavior. A thermostat that seems to lose its schedule, shows inconsistent temperature readings, or won’t hold a setting is worth noting before it fails completely, particularly for households running smart thermostats.

Unusual sounds or smells. Grinding, clicking, or a burning smell are signs Ronel tells people not to wait on. Everything else on the list is a “watch it” item. This one is a “call someone now” item.

Why he is putting it in writing

Ronel has said that trust with customers is built slowly and lost quickly. Part of how he tries to build it is by giving people enough information to know what is actually urgent and what can wait.

“I’d rather someone catch a small problem themselves than pay for an emergency call that could’ve been avoided,” he said. “And if they check all five of these and everything looks fine, that’s useful information too. It usually means the problem is something else, and I don’t have to guess when I get there.”

He also sees it as a way to cut down on unnecessary anxiety. Not every strange noise means a system is dying, and not every warm room means the compressor failed.

“A lot of people panic before they need to,” Ronel said. “If you know what you’re looking at, you make better decisions. Do you need someone today, or can this wait until tomorrow morning? That’s a real difference for a family with kids or elderly parents in the house.”

Who this is for

Ronel built the checklist with South Florida’s climate in mind specifically. Condensate line clogs, humidity-driven mold near indoor units, and outdoor units packed with storm debris are more common here than in drier climates, and he wanted the list to reflect what actually goes wrong in this region rather than generic advice.

He plans to keep the list simple rather than expand it into something more technical.

“The moment it needs a multimeter, it’s not a self-check anymore,” he said. “This is meant for someone standing in their hallway trying to figure out if they need to make a call tonight or if it can wait.”

Press Release

Quebec Brokerage Qubit Insurance Announces New Data on Coverage Shortfalls as Rebuilding Costs Rise

Published

on

Montreal, Canada, September 12th, 2026, FinanceWire

Qubit Insurance, an independent, AMF-licensed brokerage serving clients across Quebec, has revealed that a significant portion of Quebec homeowners may be underinsured due to rising construction costs. In a recent review of 1,200 new client policies, the brokerage found that 38% were underinsured relative to current rebuilding costs by an average of 16%.

According to Qubit Insurance, this discrepancy can trigger a co-insurance clause built into many home insurance policies, potentially reducing claim payouts even on partial losses. Many homeowners assume their insurance will cover the full cost of rebuilding after a loss, such as a fire or flood. However, if a home is insured for less than its true rebuild cost, an insurer may only pay out a percentage of a claim that matches the percentage of coverage carried. For example, a homeowner insured at 70% of their home’s actual rebuild value could see a routine claim reduced by nearly 30%, regardless of the damage’s actual repair cost.

The problem has grown more common as rebuilding costs have climbed. The Association des professionnels de la construction et de l’habitation du Québec (APCHQ) estimates that construction costs have risen by roughly 18% cumulatively since 2023, driven by inflation in materials and skilled labor. A policy that accurately reflected a home’s rebuild cost three years ago may now be underinsuring that home by a significant margin.

“We’re seeing this constantly in client feedback right now: people who haven’t touched their property coverage limits in years, even though the actual cost to rebuild their home has increased substantially,” said Manjot Singh, Insurance Broker at Qubit Insurance, who specializes in commercial and personal lines insurance. “The frustrating part is that it’s invisible until there’s a claim; nobody gets a warning that their coverage has fallen behind.”

“In a review of 1200 new client policies this year, Qubit Insurance found 38% were underinsured relative to current rebuild cost, by an average of 16%.” 

To help mitigate the risk of underinsurance and reduced payouts, Qubit Insurance recommends that Quebec homeowners:

  • Have their home’s reconstruction cost re-evaluated at least every two years, or after any major renovations.
  • Review their dwelling coverage limit at every renewal rather than letting the policy auto-renew without adjustments.
  • Confirm with their insurer or broker whether their policy applies a co-insurance clause, and at what percentage.
  • Work with a broker who can compare reconstruction-cost estimates and coverage terms across multiple carriers.

Solli Rothschild Launches Research Initiative on Personal Names, Trademarks and Digital Identity

Published

After a Personal Experience at the Intersection of Names, Trademarks and Domain Names, Solli Rothschild Opens a Broader Conversation About Who Owns the Meaning of a Name

Norway, 12th Sep 2026 – Entrepreneur and investor Solli Rothschild has launched an independent research and discussion initiative examining the increasingly complex relationship between personal names, trademarks, domain names, digital identity and commercial brands.

The initiative grew partly from Rothschild’s own experience at the intersection of a personal surname, commercial identity and intellectual-property rights. Rather than focusing exclusively on an individual dispute, the project seeks to examine a broader question emerging as entrepreneurs increasingly build companies, reputations and international digital identities around their own names.

A surname can carry several meanings at the same time. It can represent family heritage and personal identity while also becoming associated with businesses, products, professional services, websites, publications and trademarks. In an increasingly digital and international economy, those different forms of identity can sometimes meet in ways that are difficult to define using traditional distinctions between a person and a brand.

Rothschild’s research will explore how personal names function when they enter commercial life, including questions surrounding personal-name trademarks, domain names, commercial reputation, consumer perception and the distinction between legitimate personal identity and potential commercial confusion. The research will also consider how these issues differ across jurisdictions and how the growth of social media, digital platforms and artificial intelligence may change the way individuals establish and protect their identities.

From Personal Experience to a Broader Research Question

The subject became particularly relevant to Rothschild after experiencing first-hand how a person’s surname can intersect with trademark and domain-name proceedings. That experience prompted her to look beyond the immediate circumstances and investigate a wider set of questions affecting entrepreneurs, trademark owners and individuals who build businesses around their own names.

The initiative will examine when a personal name begins functioning as a commercial identifier, whether a personal reputation can develop independently from an established corporate brand, how businesses built around shared surnames can coexist, and how domain-name disputes involving genuine personal names should be considered.

The research will draw on intellectual-property law, trademark practice, domain-name jurisprudence and the experience of entrepreneurs operating internationally. WIPO’s published materials, for example, recognize that personal names can in certain circumstances acquire trademark significance through commercial use, while registered personal-name trademarks can provide a basis for UDRP proceedings. 

An Invitation to the Intellectual-Property Community

Rothschild intends to develop the initiative as an open research discussion and plans to invite trademark attorneys, intellectual-property specialists, domain-name lawyers, academics and entrepreneurs to contribute different perspectives.

Rather than presenting one definitive answer, the project will examine where the boundaries between personal identity and commercial trademark rights should be drawn, particularly when the same surname may legitimately be used by different people, families or businesses.

“My interest is not simply in my own situation. It made me realise that there is a much bigger question here. A surname can be a family identity, a personal identity, a business identity and a trademark. What happens when those meanings overlap?”

Rothschild said she particularly welcomes disagreement from professionals working in the field.

“I would actually like lawyers to challenge my thinking. If trademark attorneys, academics or entrepreneurs see the issue differently, I want to hear those arguments. The objective is to understand the boundaries, not to pretend that one person’s experience provides all the answers.”

The project will form part of Rothschild’s broader work examining digital identity, reputation, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence and the changing relationship between individuals and global brands. Future research will consider how increasingly powerful digital identities may affect the way personal names are used, recognized and protected in international commerce.
