Blockchain information disclosure
There is no doubt that blockchain has development prospects, and the necessary condition for development prospects is to enter the mainstream market
North America blockchain infrastructure the oan (former aion network) founder and CEO Matt spoke published an article entitled "in order to successfully enter the mainstream market, blockchain projects must" eat dog food "in Forbes on July 24, in which Matt mentioned his views on how blockchain should enter the mainstream market - & quot; Eat dog food
in the science and technology circle, there is a jargon called & quot; Eat dog food Dogfood (also known as eating your own dog food) refers to companies using their own procts and becoming users of their own procts. Many high growth companies (such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, apple, Netflix and Google) also test their procts by "eating dog food" or help build credibility“ "Eat dog food" is often used to find and fix bugs, but it has another value: to create reliable use cases for the company's procts
this is worth learning from blockchain projects, because blockchain projects often hold & quot; Once built, they (users) will come naturally, which habitually leaves the responsibility of creating new and interesting blockchain applications to a third party
this attitude is very common, even the well-known blockchain summit consensus 2019 also held a conference entitled & quot; Once built, they (users) will naturally come: to build a global blockchain Center & quot; To discuss how governments around the world can make efforts to attract blockchain projects while balancing regulatory, investment and innovation needs
to be fair, this strategy may be effective for blockchains that only focus on people in the currency circle. For the security token, especially for the exchange represented by the transaction, it makes more sense - "supply creates demand" is the usual idea here, especially considering that the realization of these transactions requires the construction of complex infrastructure
in contrast, "eat dog food" is more likely to be adopted by blockchain project developers who seek mainstream audiences (such as those in financial instry, manufacturing and supply chain, identity management, etc.). If blockchain technology wants to enter these mainstream fields, blockchain companies must first "eat dog food". This can not only clearly prove that blockchain technology is feasible outside the coin circle, but also highlight that blockchain can not only optimize existing use cases, but also create new use cases
and the oan team has been adhering to this concept, and relying on the oan and aion's technology stack built over the years, it has developed a financial technology platform moves for independent workers
Matt said that in the development and development of moves, the team hopes that the relevant functions of the OAN blockchain network can be brought into full play, so it will focus on the following three aspects:
1. How to use the OAN blockchain network to improve the credit efficiency of the proct there are two main considerations to improve credit efficiency: 1) can we use the mechanism of the defi market to rece the cost of capital; 2) Can the blockchain technology be used to increase the external trust in the credit process of moves. Here, moves will form a mechanism of "pooling wisdom", so that everyone can contribute to recing credit risk and increasing the credibility of credit process, and may even develop a micro guarantee mechanism in the future. Therefore, users will be able to participate in the market established by the platform as borrowers, lenders or guarantors
specifically, by connecting moves with the oan network, and with the help of digital asset aion, a relationship of interest consistency is formed between procts and users, so that users can personally experience the success of moves procts and directly participate in the oan, a blockchain network supporting moves
3. How to create the first open system of financial reputation data with moves
this open system may become a substitute for traditional credit scores or related mechanisms. Over the years, banks and financial institutions have been using Equifax, Fico or other similar institutions' scores as risk indicators, and the moves team believes that the procts they are building will be a good start - the beginning of a more perfect and modern financial reputation system. This is a long-term goal
moves supports North American mainstream carpooling, take out and other casual work economic platforms, and will be the flagship open application developed by the oan on its blockchain network. In June, moves expanded its operations from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia into western Canada
all the initiatives of the oan team adhere to the spirit of "eating dog food" and strive to make blockchain technology enter the mainstream market as soon as possible. Blockchain is not for the minority, but for the mainstream. In addition to the oan team, many projects and institutions in the blockchain instry are also aiming at this goal. Can you say that such an excellent and targeted blockchain has no development prospects
A: the basic characteristics of blockchain
I. decentralization
blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage
the foundation of blockchain technology is open source. In addition to the private information of all parties involved in the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
Third, independencebased on consensus specifications and Protocols (similar to various mathematical algorithms such as hash algorithm used by bitcoin), the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention
Four, safetyas long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily controlled and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes
5. Anonymityunless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and the information transmission can be anonymous
