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.
Table – Production Factors at Different Stages
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.

Four reusable devices recognised by two international juries for refined industrial design
United States, 29th May 2026, – Global vape brand ELFBAR said today that four products in its reusable pod system lineup have been honoured by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards. The recognised devices are the ELFX Mini, ELFX 2, ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system.
The German Design Award, organised by the German Design Council, named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The International CMF Design Awards, which evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish, recognised the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The awarded lineup
The four products sit at the centre of ELFBAR’s reusable portfolio for adult smokers and ex-smokers looking for an alternative to combustible tobacco. The range spans compact entry devices through to the ELFX 2, which goes on sale in Germany in June 2026.
Each device shares a restrained visual language. Casing materials are selected for grip and longevity. Colour palettes are subdued. Branding is kept small. The shapes are contoured for one-handed use, and the surface finishes are tuned to feel calm in the hand. The ELFA Master Stein, named after the stein vessels of European drinking culture, uses a textured casing that references the heritage of stoneware and glass.
On the design approach
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
The recognition follows a multi-year effort inside ELFBAR’s industrial design studio to move the brand’s product language away from the bright, single-use silhouettes that defined the early years of the vaping category. The company has been steadily replacing those formats in its lineup with longer-lived devices intended to look and feel more like other categories of mature consumer hardware.
Engineering details
Beyond the look of each device, the awarded products share a set of practical features that ELFBAR describes as central to its reusable design approach.
Pods are secured magnetically and click into place without alignment fuss. E-liquid levels are visible through windows on the casing, making refill timing intuitive. Status displays communicate battery and pod information at a glance. Airflow and power settings are adjustable on the relevant models, allowing users to shape the draw to their preference. Modular construction lets pods and cartridges be replaced rather than discarded, extending the useful life of each device.
For the ELFX 2 specifically, the upcoming launch introduces the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation. The generation adds a child lock, an upgraded airway designed for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system intended to keep e-liquid contained under everyday pocket and travel use.
The German context
The design recognition lands in ELFBAR’s largest European market. According to internal data, the brand leads the German pod system category with about 60 percent market share. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — now account for around 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.
European regulators have meanwhile sharpened their focus on disposable vapes and on packaging waste. Brands that can demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components and durable design, are increasingly being separated from those that cannot. The awarded ELFX and ELFA products are positioned within that shift.
What comes next
ELFBAR said it plans to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to other European markets in due course, with the ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026. Specific dates, pricing and channel availability will be confirmed market by market.

United States, 29th May 2026, – The Evolution of Living in Style Arrives at the Crossroads of the World
NEW YORK, May 2026 — Global furniture brand OVIOS officially unveiled its latest collaborative masterpiece, AERO EVO, created together with Studio F. A. Porsche, on the iconic Nasdaq Tower in New York’s Times Square. The appearance marks a milestone moment for OVIOS as the brand continues to bring elevated contemporary living experiences to a global audience.
Displayed across one of the world’s most recognizable digital landmarks, AERO EVO represents far more than a furniture launch. It symbolizes the convergence of modern luxury living, aerodynamic artistry, and German precision engineering — all expressed through a new generation of sculptural furniture design.
Inspired by the concept “The Shape of Air,” AERO EVO was designed around the invisible flow of movement and fluid dynamics. Every curve, contour, and proportion reflects a philosophy of purity and functional elegance. The result is a seating experience that feels simultaneously futuristic, calming, and deeply human.
“The collaboration between OVIOS and Studio F. A. Porsche is not simply about creating furniture,” said the OVIOS design team. “It is about engineering a new lifestyle language — one where comfort, precision, and emotional design coexist seamlessly.”
At the core of the collaboration lies the shared vision of “The Evolution of Style.” OVIOS brings its signature philosophy of Living in Style together with the uncompromising functional aesthetics of Studio F. A. Porsche, creating a collection that transcends conventional home furnishing.
The AERO EVO collection will be strictly limited to 919 pieces worldwide, with each piece individually serialized and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The number “919” represents the relentless pursuit of refinement, symbolizing hundreds of iterations dedicated to achieving aesthetic and structural perfection.
“A single silhouette, redefined 919 times,” the campaign states. “Because Living in Style is not a destination, but a relentless pursuit of perfect balance.”
The Nasdaq debut also reflects OVIOS’s accelerating international growth and increasing influence in the premium home furnishings category. Known for blending accessible luxury with modern functionality, the brand has built a strong following across North America through its indoor and outdoor furniture collections.
With AERO EVO, OVIOS enters a new chapter — one that pushes beyond traditional furniture design and into the realm of emotional architecture, immersive living, and timeless modern aesthetics.
