Main battlefield of block chain in trade war zone
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
driven by policy and market, China's blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real
in the context of rapid development of blockchain, China should comply with the needs of globalization, keep up with the international pace, and actively promote the research, standardization and instrialization development of domestic blockchain related fields. Compared with the increasingly stringent supervision of bitcoin and other digital currencies, the support and encouragement of blockchain technology has reached a consensus in the world, and the domestic blockchain technology will also receive national and local policy support in the next few years. Driven by policy and market, blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real, and blockchain technology will accelerate the exploration of possible application scenarios< According to the data of the "in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, the global blockchain market scale is expected to increase from US $411.5 million in 2017 to US $7683.7 million in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of 79.6%. In view of the wide application range of distributed ledger, the rising market value of cryptocurrency, the strong demand for improving transparency, security, efficiency and simplifying process, and the popularity of blockchain as a service (
baas), the blockchain market will expand rapidly. In addition, communication services, international trade, supply chain management, programming platform, payment, smart contract, digital authentication and so on are also in urgent need of blockchain technology, which will create a lot of growth opportunities
as an integrated application of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other technologies, blockchain has become a research hotspot of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations as well as many national governments in recent years, and the instry has also increased investment. At present, the application of blockchain has extended to the Internet of things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, digital asset trading and other fields, which will bring new opportunities for the development of cloud computing, big data, mobile Internet and other new generation information technology, and have the ability to trigger a new round of technological innovation and instrial change
by 2022, the payment sector may occupy the largest share of the blockchain market
relying on blockchain technology, real-time payment of assets can be realized, which not only has the characteristics of tamper proof and digital authentication, but also can greatly save the cost of settlement for financial institutions and banks. In addition, blockchain makes payment automation possible, eliminates the need for middlemen, and saves labor costs and time for buyers and sellers. Thanks to the above advantages, it is expected that the payment sector will be the heaviest one in the whole blockchain market
the fastest growing region will be the Asia Pacific region.
blockchain service providers in the Asia Pacific region are good at designing and developing cryptocurrency platforms with friendly interface, cost saving and high speed, and extending the application of blockchain in many instries. Both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises are actively seeking risk financing, investing in and developing the most cutting-edge blockchain technology. In addition, the real estate instry of some countries in the Asia Pacific region is expected to rapidly transform from translucency to full transparency, which also helps to enhance the development prospects of blockchain in the Asia Pacific region.
1. Financial services
the application of blockchain in the financial field has already spread out, which is not a new thing. The application of blockchain in financial technology has been widely concerned and highly valued all over the world
in mainland China, China UnionPay signed a strategic cooperation agreement on mobile payment with Bank of China in early 2018, explored cooperation in the field of blockchain, and then cooperated with Jingdong to jointly launch the "Internet financial payment security alliance risk information sharing (distributed query) platform" based on blockchain
in Hong Kong, China, the Hong Kong Monetary regulatory authority is one of the earliest regulators to launch sandbox, supporting financial innovation experiments including blockchain technology; The HKMA has also joined hands with the banking instry to launch etradeconnect, which is the first large-scale trade financing information sharing platform for Hong Kong banking instry to apply blockchain technology< On September 18, 2018, Hangzhou Internet court officially launched the chain and became the first court in the world to use blockchain for trial
it is understood that prosecutors can submit electronic evidence such as contract, rights protection process and service process details online through online complaint portal, and notarization office, forensic identification center, CA / RA organization, court and other chain nodes can witness and endorse together to provide one-stop service for prosecutors. Hangzhou Internet court of Zhejiang Province made a public judgment on a case of infringement on the right of network dissemination of works' information, and confirmed the legal effect of electronic data with blockchain technology for the first time
3. Intellectual property
blockchain and related distributed ledger technology provide the possibility for the protection and registration of intellectual property, as well as evidence in the registration stage or court litigation stage. These technologies can also speed up the above intellectual property protection and registration process in a cost-effective way
4. Logistics
in early 2018, rookie and tmall global jointly announced that blockchain technology has been used to track, upload and verify the logistics full link information of cross-border imported goods
after all nodes of the logistics chain are connected to the blockchain, the goods can be traced from manufacturers to consumers, forming a complete chain; The more links the commodity is missing, the more likely it is to be a fake proct
5. Electronic invoice
on August 10, 2018, Shenzhen International Trade revolving restaurant issued the first electronic invoice of blockchain in China. It is understood that this electronic invoice of blockchain was led by Shenzhen Taxation Bureau and provided by Tencent with underlying technology and capability
different from traditional e-invoice and simple e-invoice on the chain, this blockchain e-invoice integrates "capital flow and invoice flow", combines invoice issuing with online payment, and opens up the whole process of invoice application, invoice issuing, reimbursement and tax declaration
in addition to the above fields, the application of blockchain has broad blue ocean prospects. In the future, new technology application and development will emerge in all walks of life, and blockchain will flourish.
what benefits most from this is the domestic currency circle. In 2017, digital currency and related fund-raising activities were banned in China, which is quite negative in the eyes of ordinary people. In fact, the central bank's initiative to explore into cryptocurrency is the recognition of the core concept of digital currency. With this incentive, domestic enterprises will actively enter the instry and inject fresh blood into the instry, which is the most important
about this, you can see the reports of blockchain media, such as golden finance, coin easy to know column, chain news and so on.
Blockchain technology is widely used. Under the integration of new technologies, the main application scenarios of blockchain include finance and insurance, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent environmental protection, energy and power, health care, ecation, culture and innovation, smart city, social welfare, agriculture and many other fields

3. Blockchain + government
in statistics, voting, budget management and other aspects, blockchain can rece costs, improve efficiency, and increase transparency, so as to prevent the risk of failure of centralized system
4. Blockchain + insurance
fraud identification and risk prevention: by placing insurance claims under an unchangeable general ledger, blockchain helps to eliminate the common sources of fraud in the insurance instry
property insurance and accidental injury insurance: policies and shared ledgers recorded in the form of smart contracts can improve the efficiency of property insurance and accidental injury insurance
Health Insurance: blockchain technology enables medical records to be encrypted and shared among health service providers, thus improving the interoperability of the health insurance ecosystem
Reinsurance: the information security of reinsurance contracts on the blockchain platform can be ensured through the form of smart contracts, which can rece the amount of information and simplify the payment process between insurers and reinsurers
Chinese Mahjong: the world's earliest blockchain project
first of all, a initiates an application. I want to play mahjong and set up a mahjong Bureau, which is equivalent to creating a block, and this block will be broadcast to B, C, D, a, B, C, C, C, C, C, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D D...
in the process of playing mahjong, the above four people constantly play cards, which can be understood as mining, through what to mine? Mahjong machine can understand the mineralization machine. These four miners are the so-called miners. These four miners collide from 144 mahjong, and any right card can be Hu card. We can understand the 144 mahjong as a series of hash values (numbers). The process of Hu card is called computational power. Until Hu card, it means that the right hash value is collided and you can get a reward, Each person will pay the corresponding chips to C and put them in the blockchain. The reward is bitcoin or other virtual coins
Why do the other three people take the initiative to reward C? That's because these people have automatically reached a consensus that C has indeed won, and everyone has recorded the account, including the family members who are sitting next to buy horses. It's not good to deny it, otherwise when it comes out that the character is not good, no one will play with him again. After all, the circle is very important
when we reached a consensus, we didn't see any intermediary or third party judging that C had won, and the rewards given to C didn't need to be transferred to C through the third party. All of them were direct point-to-point transactions. This process was decentralization. The card players (miners) recorded their own achievements in the first game, and the third team won the first game, After the record is completed, a complete block is generated. But remember, this is only the first round. In the whole blockchain, this is just a node. The first eight rounds are finished, that is, eight nodes (blocks). Eight blocks are connected together to form a complete account book, which is the blockchain. Because everyone has one account book, it is a distributed account book. The purpose is to prevent someone from tampering with records. In the end, it is clear who wins or loses.
Fourth, decentralization. Decentralization is the most basic feature of the blockchain, which means that the blockchain no longer depends on the central processing node and realizes the distributed recording, storage and updating of data. In the traditional centralized network, attacking a central node can destroy the whole system, while in a decentralized blockchain network, attacking a single node cannot control or destroy the whole network. More than 5% of the nodes in the master network are just the beginning of gaining control. 2019 is the first year for the commercial application of blockchain technology, and the stimulation of favorable policies will make the development of blockchain technology more stable
with the application of blockchain technology graally penetrating into many fields such as digital finance and Internet, we have a clearer understanding of the value of blockchain
blockchain has formed a situation of global competition, and all countries are seizing the development opportunities, let alone China; Therefore, there is no doubt that blockchain has become a national strategy.
The sudden epidemic situation has pressed the "pause" button for many instries, but science and technology is the most effective means to fight against disasters. Blockchain technology has realized the combination with finance, logistics, supply chain, government affairs, public welfare, urban management and other application fields. At the same time, e to the imperfect development of technology, the role of blockchain in the prevention and control of the epidemic is very limited, so we need to explore deeper scenario applications
from the survey data, the main application directions of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period include: traceability, financial (including insurance) supervision, collaborative sharing. Deposit certificate, digitization, credit investigation, digital asset transaction, etc
in the main application direction of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period, more than 70% of enterprises choose traceability and financial (including insurance) supervision, in addition to collaborative sharing and certificate deposit. Digital also has more than 60% of the enterprise choice, compared with the low choice rate of credit reference and digital asset transaction, in which the choice rate of digital asset transaction is less than 50%, only 48%
to avoid risks and promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain
as an emerging technology development direction and instrial development field, blockchain has been widely concerned. The application of instrial blockchain is accelerating, which is mainly reflected in two aspects:
first, in the past, open source systems were represented in technology, and most of them were open source projects oriented to consumers, but now many projects oriented to instry and enterprise characteristics have been added; At the same time, more and more enterprises such as Internet giants and high-tech enterprises begin to enter this field, indicating that the era of instrial blockchain has come
secondly, the emergence of blockchain reces the threshold of trust and the cost of realization, enabling some financial and trade scenarios that could not be realized before to be realized. In this way, some new financial forms can be derived, providing more space for financial innovation
although the application of instrial blockchain is speeding up, it is still in an early stage of development. This is mainly reflected in the fact that blockchain technology alone can not fully solve the trust problems and information island problems between entities, and the emergence of blockchain technology also puts forward new problems for the current law and regulation
because of its decentralized and difficult to tamper with characteristics, blockchain has become a comprehensive subject driven by technology and deeply affecting economy, finance, society, organizational form and governance. In addition, blockchain technology is not yet fully mature in system stability, application security, business model and other aspects, which puts forward requirements for privacy protection and storage capacity of data on the chain
it should be noted that the current blockchain instry has been involved in many technical fields such as it, communication, security, cryptography and so on. What it needs is a kind of compound talents, which poses new challenges to personnel training and school ecation
the short-term impact of blockchain should be treated calmly to avoid overestimation. At the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen laws and regulations and supervision to avoid the possible risks of blockchain technology, so as to promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain
