AntChain, the flagship technology brand of Ant Group, today unveiled two new products at the Apsara Conference 2021 in Hangzhou – the FAIR platform and the T1 security chip – to ensure the security and trustworthiness of data flows within blockchain networks.

Based on AntChain’s upgraded technical architecture, the FAIR platform natively integrates privacy-preserving computation (PPC) and blockchain technologies in a unified platform, unleashing the value of data flows over their entire lifecycle.
FAIR is designed to address pain points in multi-party collaboration on data flows, which is increasingly common on the industrial internet. It replaces traditional “PPC plus blockchain” dual-system architecture, integrating the two into a single platform, in which PPC technology handles encrypted private data across multiple segregated data sets, while blockchains provide a traceable, immutable foundation for trusted data flows. Native integration of the two technologies significantly strengthens compatibility and efficiency, while reducing deployment costs.
"Data privacy protection is becoming an underlying requirement in the industry. AntChain believes that privacy-preserving computation should be a native capability for blockchain networks," Yan Ying, technical director of AntChain, said. “The FAIR platform deeply integrates blockchain and PPC to further expand the capability of blockchain networks, allowing each node in a blockchain network to act as a node for privacy-preserving computing.”
The FAIR platform utilizes three kinds of PPC technologies, including multi-party computation (MPC), trusted execution environments (TEE), and federated learning (FL). Leveraging hardware innovations and close integration of hardware and software, the FAIR framework is 100 times more efficient than traditional solutions.
AntChain also unveiled the T1, its first self-developed blockchain-powered security chip. The chip uses Xuantie E803 high-performance processor IP from T-Head Semiconductor and will be deployed across AntChain’s hardware products, including its all-in-one workstations. The T1 chip can host a secure execution environment, and provides a variety of security features, including digital signatures and data integrity verification, to better fend off both software and hardware attacks.
AntChain’s hardware products and technologies, including the AntChain Workstation and Module-as-a-Service, have already been deployed by partners such as Chery Automobile and Tianneng Group, connecting physical assets including commercial vehicles and batteries to blockchain networks with trustworthy hardware-software integration.

New Visa Research Finds Consumer Trust is Accelerating the Path to Agentic Commerce9.9.2026 13:00:00 CEST | Press release
Consumers rank Visa as the most trusted brand to deliver AI-powered commerce. Visa (NYSE: V) today announced the Visa Trust Index for agentic commerce, providing new insight into how consumers are navigating the next evolution of AI shopping and payments. While consumers are increasingly using AI across the shopping journey, only 23% of U.S. consumers trust GenAI to handle payment transactions on their behalf. However, confidence in agentic commerce shifts when payments brands come into consideration. Visa emerged as the most trusted brand for AI-powered payments with 61% of respondents saying they would trust Visa to handle agentic transactions. The findings suggest that while consumers are intrigued by agentic commerce, trust remains the key factor determining whether adoption moves from possibility to reality. "AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape how people discover, buy and pay for goods and services, much like e-commerce and mobile commerce did before it," said Oliver Je
NIQ’s Optiq™ Goes Live in Discover, Expanding Access to Trusted Consumer Intelligence9.9.2026 12:45:00 CEST | Press release
Global beta rollout of NIQ’s Optiq Chat later this month will give more clients conversational access to explainable answers grounded in NIQ data and expertise NielsenIQ (NIQ), a leading consumer intelligence company, today announced that Optiq is now live within Discover, NIQ’s platform for accessing, analyzing and applying consumer and market intelligence, advancing the company’s strategy to make trusted consumer intelligence easier to access and apply. Where Ask Arthur introduced new ways to explore and analyze NIQ data through AI within Discover, Optiq expands that experience across conversational AI, mobile access and enterprise AI integrations, giving clients greater flexibility to access and apply NIQ intelligence across the applications and workflows where they make decisions. “AI models are becoming ubiquitous. Trusted intelligence is not,” said Irina Stoian, Chief AI Commercial Officer at NIQ. “That is why we are building the full system. Think of it like a body: harmonized N

Compass Pathways’ New 52-Week Topline Open-Label Data from Phase 3 COMP005 Trial Demonstrates Additional Benefit from Another COMP360 Dose in Part C Extending Durability Out to 1 Year9.9.2026 12:30:00 CEST | Press release
Notable additional benefit observed with an added reduction in MADRS1 score leading to an average 13-point reduction from baseline at Week 52 with durability extended out to 1 year for participants who were randomized to the 25 mg arm and received an additional doseFor participants randomized to Placebo arm who received first dose of COMP360 25 mg in open-label Part C, data further reinforces that a single 25 mg dose can produce rapid onset, meaningful effect and durabilityFor all participants in Part C who received a 25 mg open-label dose, strong response and remission rates were observed with 40%-45% responders2 and approximately 30% remitters3 across all timepoints 6 weeks post the Part C doseThis 1-year data further supports the belief that, if approved, COMP360 could establish a new standard of care in TRD that can be life-changing for patients − moving beyond daily or frequent administration toward an option that could provide durable benefit with just a few treatments a yearCOMP
New ABB and BCG Report Highlights Growing Role of Direct Current Technologies in Future Power Systems9.9.2026 11:42:00 CEST | Press release
Rapid expansion of AI computing, increasing electrification and rise of renewable energy are driving renewed interest in DC technology as part of future electrical systems Both AC and DC systems have strategically important roles in meeting future electricity demand Establishing common standards and developing DC-specific skills can help accelerate deployment ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The report makes the case that direct current (DC) technology is moving from the periphery to the center of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure – and that the decisions made by business leaders and policymakers in the next two to three years will determine who shapes that transition and who inherits it. The future of power distribution is not an either-or choice between alternating current (AC) and direct current, but a
