Enterprises with blockchain core technology
what is a blockchain? In essence, blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger database, which is the underlying technology of bitcoin, and is associated with bitcoin. The blockchain itself is actually a series of data blocks generated by the use of cryptography, each of which contains the information of effective confirmation of multiple bitcoin network transactions
whenever an encrypted transaction occurs, miners with strong computing power in the network begin to use the algorithm to decrypt and verify the transaction, creating new blocks to record the latest transaction. New blocks are added to the end of the original blockchain in time order, and the account book will keep growing and extending
through the complex setting of public key and private key, the blockchain network will broadcast all the transaction books of the whole financial network in real time, distribute the transaction records to each client in real time, and ensure that everyone can only modify their own property. Of course, there are other people's transaction records in the account book. Although you can see the numerical value and the corresponding transaction address (which is basically composed of a long piece of disordered letters and numbers), you can't know the real identity of the trader without using other technical means
what is a blockchain? Since last year, the concept of blockchain has become popular, especially in some developed countries. Blockchain is also known as subversion, which is very popular all over the world. Blockchain will be the first to impact the financial instry, and then will affect a wider range of economic fields. The prediction is based on several core characteristics of blockchain: decentralization, distributed ledger, point-to-point transmission, tamper proof, etc. Because the birth of blockchain is quite magical, and its development is also concerned with the rise of bitcoin in the world, many people will confuse the relationship between blockchain and bitcoin. Some people think that blockchain is a parent-child relationship with bitcoin, while others think that blockchain was born after bitcoin. But in fact, blockchain is the underlying supporting technology of bitcoin, which can be compared with TCP / IP protocol in the Internet. From a certain point of view, bitcoin can be regarded as the first practical application of blockchain generated simultaneously with blockchain
Application of blockchain technology? Since its establishment, Bubi blockchain has been focusing on the R & D and innovation of blockchain technology and procts. It has a number of core technologies, and has made substantial innovation in many aspects, forming a number of core technological achievements, such as: mathematically proven distributed consensus technology, fast large-scale account book access technology, multi chain general ledger technology supporting business form expansion The interconnection technology between heterogeneous blockchains. On April 25, "gege integral" introced the integral system into the concept of blockchain, opened up by multiple parties, issued and exchanged integral, and promoted the circulation of integral. All cooperative institutions can jointly participate in transaction verification, account book storage and real-time settlement; The third-party payment platform of the enterprise points issuer makes the points in and out more flexible. Bubi has developed its own basic blockchain service platform, which has been applied in equity, supply chain, credit and other fields. Bubi has been committed to building an open value circulation network with the core of decentralized (polycentric) trust, so that digital assets can flow freely
what is a blockchain? Application of blockchain technology? We can use bitcoin to describe several application prospects of blockchain. Bitcoin can be said to be a decentralized currency or asset. Every bitcoin can be traced back and found by everyone at any time. This application prospect means that if the transactions between people can return to the original form of barter from the current monetary value measurement method, then the measure of value is no longer legal currency, but bitcoin or other virtual currencies or virtual assets generated by the blockchain, The benefits of the current sharing economy are just the tip of the iceberg. If this traceability, query and tamper proof feature of bitcoin is applied to credit record system, identity authentication system or property right authentication system, many things like "is this house my property?"“ Whether I am unmarried or married "will not exist at all. According to the current development trend, blockchain will not only reshape all aspects of money market, payment system, financial services and economic form, but also change every field of human life.
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data
as we all know, blockchain technology is an independent underlying architecture from bitcoin system. From the perspective of architecture model, it is a set of distributed ledger, which is naturally used for bookkeeping
in the blockchain technology, if you want to generate accounting records, you need to have the transaction and flow of funds. Therefore, in the initial blockchain technology, the cryptocurrency corresponding to the main network is used as circulation goods, and the circulation transaction records of cryptocurrency between the accounts of the main network of the blockchain will be recorded on the main network
different from other transaction record databases, transaction records on the main network of blockchain technology will be recorded on all block nodes (i.e. all data blocks) in the main network, which is the so-called decentralization principle. That is to say, in blockchain technology, there is no central database to store all records, Every block on the chain has the transaction data of the whole chain, that is to say, every data block is the center
another feature of blockchain technology is that it can't be tampered with, because every transaction on the blockchain will be recorded in all blocks on the chain, so no single data block can change the record. Even if you change it, all other data blocks will also record real data, and each group of data can be traced back to the first time
because of these characteristics of blockchain technology, after the advent of bitcoin, blockchain has also attracted a lot of attention, and many people also began to want to use blockchain technology to make a centerless, traceable and unchangeable data, so as to ensure the credibility of the data
however, blockchain technology also faces many problems, such as single application scenario, non modifiable original error data, non recoverable currency stolen by hackers, etc.
Recently, MIT announced that it will launch MIT financial technology laboratory with several top technology companies in the world on July 18, 2018. Its main research directions include blockchain development, privacy security, database, encryption system, etc. ant financial is the only Chinese founder
In an exclusive interview with people, Jiang Guofei, director of ant technology laboratory, said that the former NEC technology VP, who has been wandering in Tokyo Bay and New York Bay for the past 15 years, said that China and the United States are almost on the same starting line in the independent research and development of Frontier core technologies such as blockchain, This is a sight that has never been seen before“ Whether it is Tokyo Bay, New York Bay or San Francisco Bay, they all rise in the blowout of Japan and the United States' comprehensive national strength. Now it's time to go to China, so I'm back. "content source: phoenix.com
1. Blockchain links
as the name suggests, blockchain is a chain composed of blocks. Each block is divided into block head and block body (including transaction data). The block head includes the prevhash value (also known as hash value) of the previous block used to realize the block link and the random number (nonce) used to calculate the mining difficulty. The hash value of the previous block is actually the hash value of the head of the previous block, and the random number calculation rule determines which miner can obtain the right to record the block
2. Consensus mechanism
blockchain is accompanied by the birth of bitcoin, which is the basic technology architecture of bitcoin. Blockchain can be understood as an Internet-based decentralized accounting system. A decentralized digital currency system like bitcoin requires the consistency of accounting of honest nodes without a central node, which needs blockchain to complete. Therefore, the core of blockchain technology is a consensus mechanism to reach a consensus on the legitimacy of transactions between indivials without mutual trust without central control
there are four main types of consensus mechanisms in blockchain: pow, POS, dpos and distributed consistency algorithm
3. Unlocking script
script is an important technology to realize automatic verification and contract execution on blockchain. Every output of every transaction does not point to an address in the strict sense, but to a script. A script is like a set of rules that constrain how the receiver can spend the asset locked on the output
the validation of transactions also depends on scripts. At present, it depends on two kinds of scripts: Lock script and unlock script. Locking script is a condition added to the output transaction, which is realized by a script language and located in the output of the transaction. The unlocking script corresponds to the locking script. Only when the conditions required by the locking script are met can the assets corresponding to the script be spent, which is located in the input of the transaction. Many flexible conditions can be expressed by script language. Interpretation script is similar to the "virtual machine" in our programming field, which runs in every node of the blockchain network in a distributed way
4. Transaction rules
blockchain transaction is not only the basic unit of a block, but also the actual effective content recorded by the blockchain. A blockchain transaction can be a transfer, or the deployment of smart contracts and other transactions
as far as bitcoin is concerned, a transaction refers to a single payment transfer. The transaction rules are as follows:
1) the input and output of the transaction cannot be empty
2) for each input of a transaction, if its corresponding utxo output can be found in the current transaction pool, the transaction will be rejected. Because the current transaction pool is the transaction not recorded in the blockchain, and each input of the transaction should come from the confirmed utxo. If it is found in the current trading pool, it is Shuanghua trading
3) for each input in a transaction, the corresponding output must be utxo
4) each input unlocking script must verify the compliance of the transaction together with the corresponding output locking script
5. Transaction priority
the priority of blockchain transaction is determined by the blockchain protocol rules. For bitcoin, the priority of a transaction to be included in a block is determined by the time when the transaction is broadcast to the network and the amount of the transaction. With the increase of transaction broadcast time on the network and the increase of transaction chain age, the priority of transaction will be improved and eventually be included by the block. For Ethereum, the priority of the transaction is also related to the transaction fee that the publisher is willing to pay. The higher the transaction fee that the publisher is willing to pay, the higher the priority that the transaction is included in the block
6. Merkle proof
the original application of Merkle proof is bitcoin, which was described and created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Bitcoin blockchain uses Merkle proof to store transactions in each block. So that the transaction can not be tampered with, but also easy to verify whether the transaction is included in a specific block
7. RLP
RLP (recursive length prefix) is one of the main encoding methods of object serialization in Ethereum. Its purpose is to encode the sequence of arbitrary nested binary data.
Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, which is an important concept of bitcoin. At present, there are 35 stocks associated with the blockchain concept in the A-share market, of which 6 blockchain concept listed companies are traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and 29 blockchain concept listed companies are traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
according to the correlation of blockchain, the leading stocks of blockchain concept stocks are most likely to be born from Xinchen technology, luyitong and Sifang Jingchuang
Xinchen Technology: on September 29, 2016, the company said in the interaction that the company is now doing research and development of blockchain technology
Lu Yitong: the company plans to raise 67.9691 million shares of additional shares of RMB 24.57 per share, and the total amount of supporting funds will not exceed RMB 1.670 billion, which will be used to pay the cash consideration of this transaction, construct the block chain ASIC chip instrialization project, artificial intelligence ASIC chip R & D center, chip proct marketing and service network, etc
Sifang Jingchuang: on May 31, 2016, the inaugural meeting and the first general meeting of the financial blockchain cooperation alliance (Shenzhen) was officially held in Shenzhen Wuzhou Hotel, and the company was one of the members of the meeting

the core of blockchain is to establish appropriate consensus mechanism and good governance mechanism
it is difficult to establish a new consensus mechanism in philosophy and technology. Now the mature consensus mechanism is POW
, which is a consensus mechanism based on workload proof.
