Foreign blockchain technology progress
What is the prospect of blockchain technology? The following is just personal experience and opinions, for reference and learning only
I have been in touch with the blockchain instry for many years, and I have my own views and understanding from its ups and downs. I personally think blockchain technology is still very good. The reasons are as follows:
first, blockchain technology as a rookie after the Internet, the Internet is the transmission of information, and blockchain is the exchange of value. The development trend of blockchain is similar to that of Internet
2. After the blockchain has gone through great waves and been widely misunderstood, there are still many blockchain explorers and practitioners in the instry making continuous efforts
Third, with the attention of the country and other countries to the blockchain instry, governments all over the country have set up blockchain development funds to promote the development of the local blockchain instry, so as to occupy the highland of the blockchain instry Fourthly, the Internet of things is the development trend in the future. In the face of the growing demand of the Internet of things ecosystem, the computing power of the central server is severely challenged, and decentralization becomes the key to solve this problemthe above content is only a new point of view, or it needs specific analysis of specific issues. After all, practice is the only standard to test the truth
in the Internet era, there is a database behind every system. This database can be regarded as a large account book. In the past, the person who maintained the system was responsible for managing the database and recording the user's behavior, that is, bookkeeping. However, the blockchain is "decentralized", which allows every member of the system to participate in it, not only everyone bookkeeping, but also through links, Everyone can have a complete account book
"blockchain is essentially a collective recording mode. What's special is that it adopts a set of techniques in an ingenious way to realize the authenticity and credibility of the recorded results, which is difficult to destroy and tamper with. " Zhang Xiaorong said, "first, everyone has the right to record and authenticate with each other to distinguish the true from the false, which is called consensus mechanism; Second, no one can tamper with the records, because there are cryptographic signatures; Third, everyone has a , so even if some account books are damaged, the whole will not be affected. This is called distributed storage. The information recorded in this way is presented in block mode according to the time chain, so it is called blockchain. "
various cryptocurrencies represented by bitcoin are originally an application of blockchain technology, which can be described as blockchain version 1.0. However, around 2014, the instry began to realize the important value of blockchain technology. Blockchain graally separated from digital currency and applied to various economic and social fields other than digital currency
it has broad application prospects
blockchain technology is considered as a disruptive innovation after steam engine, electric power and Internet. If the steam engine and electricity liberate the proctivity, and the Internet has changed the way of information transmission, the blockchain, as a machine for building trust, may change the way of value transmission
for example, in the financial field, the cost of reconciliation, clearing and settlement between financial institutions, especially cross-border financial institutions, has always been very high, and there are complex manual processes. The application of blockchain technology can help rece the cost of reconciliation and dispute resolution between financial institutions, and significantly improve the processing speed and efficiency of payment business, It also makes small cross-border payments possible. In December 2017, China Merchants Bank completed the RMB position transfer business from Hongkong Wing Lung Bank to Shenzhen Branch of Wing Lung Bank. This is the world's first interbank cross-border RMB clearing business based on blockchain technology
in addition, according to the white paper 2016 on China's blockchain technology and application development issued by the Ministry of instry and information technology of China, the application of blockchain has been extended to medical and health, ecation, charity, social management and other fields. Taking the cultural instry as an example, the low cost of reproction, the high cost of safeguarding rights, and the difficulty of providing evidence make the protection of intellectual property rights a pain point for the instry. With blockchain, the proction, dissemination and transaction records of cultural procts are true, transparent and reliable, and the problem can be solved
Zhang Xiaorong said that blockchain technology has solved two major problems in the era of Digital Economy: one is the visible flow direction, and the other is zero trust cost. In the past, the circulation of physical paper money was invisible, but the flow of all digital assets had a "chain" to check. Yang Yanchao, a researcher at the intellectual property center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also believes that the biggest advantage of blockchain is that it has truly completed the credit construction in an anonymous society, bringing new opportunities to many fields, thus making various innovative applications possible
there is a long way to go in the future development
in terms of technology promotion, there is no big barrier to blockchain, which has been confirmed in the global practice of bitcoin, and its main resistance comes from the obstacles in concept and implementation
"on the one hand, the society may be very concerned about the" naked "state in the blockchain. Blockchain has built a "Skynet" for the commercial society. The company's economic activities are all recorded, so there is no secret to speak of. In this way, some business strategies may not be implemented under the blockchain. "
"on the other hand, the current legal system lags behind the development of information technology, so how to put the emerging blockchain technology under the legal supervision needs to be studied." Duan Yongchao said
the core of blockchain is decentralization, which will have an impact on the long-standing central management model. In addition to the law, how to establish a regulatory environment that can promote the application of blockchain technology, so that the technology can benefit the society and not be used to do evil, is also an urgent problem to be solved.
"the times 03 / Jan / 2009 Chancellor on brink of second low for banks (on January 3, 2009, the chancellor of the exchequer was on the verge of implementing the second round of bank emergency assistance)."
at that time, the British Chancellor of the exchequer, darling, was forced to consider a second attempt to relieve the banking crisis, which was the headline of the front page article of the times that day
the time stamp service and existence proof of blockchain, the time generated by the first blockchain and the events that happened at that time are permanently preserved
BTCC, a bitcoin company, launched a service "Millennium chain" in 2015, namely blockchain lettering service, which is based on the above principles. Users can use this service to engrave text on the blockchain and save it permanently
bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin, dogcoin, Ethereum and other digital currencies will use blockchain technology.
as a blockchain with decentralized concept and distributed shared accounting technology as the core, it will be embedded in many links in the financial field in the future, such as credit enhancement, right confirmation, equity registration, financial trade, digital assets, etc. Blockchain is still in the primary stage of development, whether it is a large institution or a small company, blockchain is still on the road of exploration. As a distributed shared accounting technology, the latest and most cutting-edge technology in the field of financial technology, blockchain, in a greater sense, enables the parties involved to establish a trust relationship at the technical level. At present, this technology has a lot of imagination in the field of equity registration, right confirmation, clearing and settlement in the financial field, as well as in the field of logistics and proct authenticity traceability. Bubi's blockchain points out that at present, more Bubi's technologies are focused on commercial level blockchain technical support services, which specifically includes three areas. First, the field of digital assets includes other digital assets in addition to common points and check-in cards; The second is trade finance; The third is the field of equity, to improve the convenience of equity trading
the development history of blockchain? Blockchain will bring a new revolution in asset ownership in the future“ The first generation of Internet information solved the free transmission of information, but did not solve the problems of decentralization and asset ownership. " This problem can not be underestimated. At the level of capital market, if any technology can clarify the property rights of things that are uncertain, it will be a huge change for the whole market. In addition, blockchain will also lead the great changes in the field of credit enhancement. It is reported that China has about 700 million Internet users“ If every netizen adds tens of thousands of credit lines through blockchain technology, the amount of credit increase will be trillions nationwide, and it can be proved that all your credit is universal in the world at the level of blockchain. " In the future, three things will happen in Internet finance. First, there will be a good matching mode between asset side and liability side; Second, intelligent investment with two main modes of follow-up investment, suggestion and notification; Third, blockchain
"the blockchain model, as a foundation, rather than a business model, will solve a lot of credit problems. The largest blockchain market in the next three to five years should be in China."
Introction to Bubi blockchain
since its establishment, Bubi blockchain has been focusing on the R & D and innovation of blockchain technology and procts, has a number of core technologies, and has made substantial innovation in many aspects, forming a number of core technology achievements, such as: mathematically verifiable distributed consensus technology, fast large-scale ledger access technology, and so on Multi Chain general ledger technology supporting business form expansion, interconnection technology between heterogeneous blockchains, etc. 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
has blockchain solved any problems
the most important thing of blockchain is to solve the problem of intermediary credit. In the past, it was difficult for two people who didn't know and trust each other to reach cooperation, and they had to rely on a third party. For example, in the past, there must be a bank or an institution such as Alipay. However, through the blockchain technology, bitcoin is the first time for human beings to complete the transfer behavior that can be trusted by both parties without the participation of any intermediary. This is a major breakthrough in blockchain
the development of blockchain? The history of blockchain development
blockchain technology is the underlying technology of bitcoin. In the early days, not many people paid attention to the underlying technology of bitcoin. However, bitcoin has been running stably for many years without any centralized organization operation and management, and there have been no problems. So many people have noticed that the underlying technology may have a great mechanism, and it can be used not only in bitcoin, but also in many fields. Therefore, bitcoin technology is abstracted, which is called blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology. So from a certain point of view, bitcoin can be regarded as the first application of blockchain, and blockchain is more similar to the underlying technology such as TCP / IP, which will be extended to more and more instries in the future.
1. Decentralization
the core advantage of blockchain technology is that it does not need a traditional centralized organization, and does not rely on the point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation of a credit center in the distributed system, so as to avoid the common problems of data security, collaborative efficiency and risk control of centralized organizations
2. High security
in blockchain technology, data is difficult to tamper with. Anyone can access the database that records transactions. In this transparent and open mode, everyone can act as a supervisor. We can see at a glance what changes have taken place in the data, which is more secure than traditional technology
3. More reliable
the blockchain technology is connected by multiple nodes in different places. The nodes in the blockchain interact through the point-to-point communication protocol. Under the condition of ensuring the consistency of the communication protocol, different nodes can be processed by different developers using different programming languages and different versions of the whole node
in short, when a node encounters network problems, hardware failures, software errors or is controlled by hackers, the operation of other participating nodes and systems will not be affected
therefore, blockchain is more reliable than traditional technology
therefore, I firmly believe that the application of blockchain must be the development trend in the future.
in view of the bright future of blockchain, the capital has long been in the lead. According to the data of the in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of China's blockchain Instry issued by foresight Instry Research Institute, the scale of global blockchain venture capital has increased from US $2 million in 2012 to US $484 million in 2015, with about 205 venture capital institutions participating in it. The high capital heat can be seen
in the face of the opportunities brought by blockchain technology, relevant enterprises in China should continue to cultivate their "internal skills", increase R & D investment, boldly cut into the bottom technology reconstruction and establish instry standards, so as to strive for greater voice in the global blockchain instry.
