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.

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.
