Platon: To create a new digital civilization by Protecting CryptoArts
CryptoArts, a new favorite in the digital age
Recently, a NFT painting of digital artist Beeple was sold for $69.34 million, setting a record price for cryptoart. Earlier, Dorsey, the CEO of twitter, transferred his first tweet as a NFT, with the price of about $2.9 million. The birth of these high-priced works of art has pushed the cryptoart into the artistic field，which has been changing people’s traditional cognition and empirical judgement of art. So what is NFT? Is NFT valuable?
NFT (non-homogeneous token) is also a kind of cryptocurrency asset, which relying on the blockchain network behind it. The holding information of these assets can be recorded in the blockchain. Different from bitcoin and Ethereum, each NFT is unique, so it is not for exchange, like basic commodity purchase or other basic transactions money. However, because of that NFT assets can’t be copied, works of art or collections can be transferred on the blockchain network as the unique cryptocurrency asset. For example, if you successfully register as a password artist on the NFT trading platform, your uploaded works of art can also become a NFT asset. The process of becoming a NFT can be regarded as “coinage”, and then by aggregating into blocks to become the unique token asset on the blockchain.
All along, the biggest attribute of art is uniqueness and irreplaceable, which coincides with the essence of NFT. In the traditional art market, artworks are repeatedly sold at high prices, which is unmatched by any other industry. At present, cryptoart is the most powerful growth area in the digital collection market.
Perfect combination of encryption technology and artistic value
Although NFT assets are unique and irreplaceable, and can exist in different forms and contents, their essence is still token. Token itself has no intrinsic value. Only when it is placed on the value system of the real world, can it be endowed with specific meanings.
When we buy a NFT, it actually means that we buy a “digital certificate” representing the ownership and authenticity, that is, we get a unique password generated by blockchain technology. For example, if you buy a painting in the art field, what others see is only a copy of the digital picture, while the buyer has the only original copy of the whole network. This work has been authenticated by blockchain technology, and has a digital signature that cannot be copied, so that buyers can confirm the uniqueness of their collection. The underlying logic is the consensus mechanism based on the network computing power of blockchain. For the cryptoart, this network flow based consensus is important. Through effective mechanisms to improve consensus, let more people know about the works, and by exposure and auction, or artists’ appearance on public media, can achieve “value-capture”, thus increasing the collection value and transaction price of works.
In this process, encryption and privacy protection technology play a key role. For a cryptoart, the owner should have both the ownership and the right to use. Currently, we only protects the ownership, but fails to protect the right to use. If the owner of a work puts a cryptoart on display in the gallery, the owner can get a share of the income from the exhibition, and only with the authorization of the owner, can the art work be fully displayed. Only in this way can the right to use of cryptoart be more effectively protected, which is what PlatOn’s privacy computing has been working for.
The privacy token contract of PlatOn can achieve the purpose of hiding identity through zero knowledge proof algorithm. Zero knowledge proof is to make the verifier believe that one has some knowledge or ability without providing any useful information to others, so as to protect the cryptoart. In addition, digital assets need to be taxed in the future, which also involves the trade of ownership. Token’s Rosetta privacy AI framework improves the efficiency of MPC (multi-party secure computing) and provides strong support for digital asset trading.
Platon’s Alaya scheme, Protecting the cryptoart
As a global blockchain leader, PlatOn, with its rich experience in the field of privacy protection, can help the digital identification and asset digitization of traditional works of art and even real estate, and help traditional assets become indelible and unchangeable . PlatOn launched the meta network Alaya scheme on October 24 last year. The scheme is based on distributed storage system, with globally distributed nodes, and is linked in the form of NFT. It supports the subsequent change of ownership of digital assets through cooperative transfer, so as to protect cryptoart and built a new digital civilization.
In addition, in the main network release of PlatOn is launched in last month, NFT transfer is also used for voting on the chain, and NFT badges in the main network community will be sent to all voting participants. It can be seen that PlatOn’s exploration on NFT privacy protection has been in the field including the cryptoart, community souvenirs, voting and so on, which will light the dawn of new digital civilization.

The brand holds about 60 percent of the country’s pod system market and around 80 percent of its German shipments are in reusable formats, with four products honoured this year by the German Design Award and the CMF Design Awards
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR today set out how its German business has shifted toward reusable pod systems over the past several product cycles, following recognition of four of its products by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards in 2026.
The two juries honoured the ELFX Mini, the ELFX 2, the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system. The group together accounts for a meaningful share of ELFBAR’s German sales. The German Design Award is organised by the German Design Council. The International CMF Design Awards evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
What the data shows
According to internal company data, ELFBAR holds about 60 percent of the German pod system category. That makes it the largest player in the country’s largest vape submarket. Prefilled and refillable products — the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 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.
The product mix has shifted gradually rather than overnight. The change reflects deliberate prioritisation inside the company: ELFBAR has steadily reduced the share of single-use formats in its German offer and reinvested behind devices that can be refilled, recharged and serviced over a longer life.
Design language
The shift toward reusable formats has been accompanied by a change in how ELFBAR’s products look and feel. The ELFX and ELFA series — including the four products honoured this year — share a quieter design vocabulary than the bright single-use silhouettes that defined the category’s earliest growth. Colour palettes are subdued. Casings are contoured for one-handed use. Materials are selected for grip and longevity. Branding is small.
“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.”
That visual approach has now been independently endorsed. The German Design Award named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The CMF Design Awards recognised both the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. The combined recognition applies standards normally used to assess mainstream consumer electronics to a category that has historically been judged on different terms.
The reusable approach in practice
ELFBAR describes its reusable design approach in three working principles, drawn from how the products are engineered and sold rather than from marketing language.
The first is that components are designed to be replaceable. Pods, cartridges and, in some models, batteries can be exchanged so that the body of the device stays in use beyond the life of any single consumable.
The second is that everyday friction is engineered out of the product. Visible e-liquid windows, magnetically secured cartridges, structured status displays and adjustable airflow and power settings are integrated to reduce small daily annoyances that often push users back to single-use products.
The third is that safety features are built into the cartridge. The ELFX POD 2.0 generation, which launches with ELFX 2 in Germany in June 2026, adds a child lock, an upgraded airway for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system designed to contain e-liquid during everyday use.
The regulatory backdrop
The shift inside ELFBAR’s German business has played out against a broader change in European regulation. National-level restrictions on disposable products, higher expectations around packaging and e-waste, and closer scrutiny of product safety have all put pressure on bright, short-lived devices. Brands able to demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components, accessible spare parts and durable design, are increasingly separated by retailers and regulators from those that cannot.
ELFBAR’s German position is being treated inside the company as a test case for how the rest of its European business will be structured. The plan is to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to additional European markets in due course, with ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026.

Reusable device debuts with the new ELFX POD 2.0 generation, featuring a child lock, an upgraded airway and a 5A leakproof system
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR will launch the ELFX 2, a reusable pod system already honoured by the International CMF Design Awards, in Germany in June 2026. The device will be the first in the company’s lineup to ship with the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation, which adds three upgrades focused on safety, flavour delivery and leakage protection.
ELFX 2 will go on sale through ELFBAR’s authorised retail and online channels. Specific on-sale dates, pricing and full channel availability will be confirmed closer to launch. The product is intended for adult smokers and ex-smokers as an alternative to combustible tobacco.
What is new in ELFX POD 2.0
The ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation ships standard with ELFX 2 in Germany and changes three things from the prior generation.
The first is a child lock. The dedicated locking mechanism is designed to make unintended activation by a child significantly less likely. The feature reflects ELFBAR’s youth access prevention commitments and aligns with European regulatory expectations around pod-level safety engineering.
The second is an upgraded internal airway. The redesigned airflow path is tuned for more consistent flavour expression across the life of the pod. This is an area where adult users moving from disposable to reusable formats have historically reported the largest gap.
The third is a 5A leakproof system. The architecture is intended to keep e-liquid contained during everyday pocket carry, temperature change and travel. Leakage has been one of the most common complaints across the wider pod system category, and addressing it has been a focus of ELFBAR’s engineering team for the past two product cycles.
The device itself
ELFX 2 is a reusable device with a refillable architecture, a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods. Its physical design earned the CMF Design Award earlier this year, in a cycle that also recognised the ELFA Master Stein. Sister product ELFX Mini, alongside the ELFA Master Stein, won the German Design Award in the same year. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The casing is contoured for one-handed grip. The colour palette is subdued and the material finish is low-gloss. Pods are held in place magnetically and click into position without alignment effort. The e-liquid window keeps refill timing intuitive. The status display communicates battery and pod state at a glance. Airflow and power settings can be adjusted by the user.
“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.”
Why Germany first
Germany is ELFBAR’s largest European market. The company reports a 60 percent share of the country’s pod system category, based on internal data. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of its German shipments. The country has also been the first market to receive several previous ELFBAR product introductions, and the company’s local distribution footprint is the deepest of any of its European markets.
The June launch puts ELFX 2 into German retail at the same moment that European regulators are tightening rules on disposable formats and packaging waste. Reusable pod systems with replaceable components are increasingly being treated by retailers as a separate product category from disposable vapes, and ELFX 2 is positioned within that distinction.
European rollout to follow
ELFX 2 will be the lead product in ELFBAR’s broader European introduction of the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs. Subsequent market launches will follow Germany in waves. Dates, pricing and channel partners will be communicated market by market.
