2018 blockchain application creation competition
In 2017, blockchain technology is undoubtedly a new wave of technology after the mobile Internet. From the three dimensions of technology implementation, commercial application and commercial realization, blockchain is expected to become a new technology after the mobile Internet, which will once again subvert people's digital lifestyle. At present, the new technology wave of blockchain fascinates more and more developers. Therefore, Neo, a non-profit community blockchain project, joins hands with Microsoft to open the first domestic blockchain developer competition, aiming to proce more excellent applications based on Neo blockchain and Microsoft's development environment and tools, so as to form a strong application ecology for blockchain developers
"People are using blockchain technology in a more interesting way as the basis for 'decentralized applications' rather than just applications like financial technology and cryptocurrency," said Mike Mason, technical director of the office of chief technology officer of ThoughtWorks, a global software consulting firm. You know, "blue ocean" has never lacked players. Some Internet companies are trying their best to land on the beach, and have established the blockchain instry market as an inevitable choice for development. In China, netxin technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xunlei, has used blockchain technology in the innovative cloud computing mode - "shared computing"
earlier, Xunlei implanted the concept of sharing economy into the field of cloud computing, and created an original" sharing computing "mode. By collecting users' idle computing resources, Xunlei transformed them into innovative cloud computing services for enterprises, On the one hand, it can effectively solve the social contradiction between the shortage of social computing resources and the high cost of computing, on the other hand, it can greatly rece the operating costs of enterprises. In August 2017, Xunlei launched a new sharing economy intelligent hardware player cloud. Its significance lies in that in the shared computing ecosystem, Xunlei joined the blockchain technology to issue player coins to users who share idle resources such as bandwidth, storage and computing power through the player cloud intelligent hardware
playcoin is a digital asset created based on blockchain technology in the thunderbolt shared computing ecosystem. With the launch of playcoin, Xunlei has become the pioneer of blockchain technology in China, and also has many advantages in its shared computing. Firstly, playcoin, based on shared computing and blockchain technology, ensures that the payment and income of users' shared computing resources and content are equal through smart contracts, which cannot be denied; Secondly, through decentralized accounting records, all transactions are true and transparent; Third, register users' right and modify records through blockchain to protect users' right from infringement
in fact, blockchain technology has strong advantages in network security, cross-border payment and other fields, and also has important value for building a community of destiny in cyberspace. On October 31, 2017, Chen Lei, CEO of Xunlei group and CEO of netxin technology, put forward the all in blockchain strategy and announced that Xunlei will increase investment in blockchain technology starting from the player cloud to explore the application of cloud computing and blockchain technology integration. On the day of the press conference, playmaker cloud also signed a right content distribution agreement with 4K garden, trying to integrate shared computing and blockchain technology to provide a platform for right distribution and content distribution. In the future, blockchain will generate more application scenarios in thunderbolt's shared computing ecosystem. Xunlei's innovative attempt may give more inspiration to developers of other blockchain technology applications
at the same time, as a leading enterprise in the blockchain application market, Xunlei is also actively guiding the healthy development of blockchain applications, insisting on not doing ICO, not going to the third-party trading platform, and severely cracking down on the third-party platform for illegal trading of customer coin, and cracking down on speculation and speculation through such measures as the real name system of customer Coin Wallet. Therefore, blockchain application developers should also abide by the law and avoid risks
based on the blockchain technology, Xunlei's "player cloud" takes the lead in building the C-end application of China's blockchain technology, which promotes China's blockchain technology to participate in the ecological development of global blockchain and creates important value in the development of digital economy“ The development history of the Internet is a history of innovation and Entrepreneurship of Internet talents. " The development of blockchain also needs a lot of talent support. We are looking forward to the birth of "blockchain +" Application in the first domestic blockchain developer competition
from cable TV companies to retail enterprises, all walks of life are trying their best to keep their most precious property: monopoly. The traditional view is: "if you control the entrance and channel, then consumers have little choice."
however, we see that companies like Netflix and Amazon break the old pattern and provide more choices for our lives. Similarly, in the field of digital currency and finance, some of the largest financial institutions are facing serious challenges
it is expected that decentralized business and demand will rise in 2019, which will provide more opportunities for successful blockchain companies. At the same time, but this opportunity also means risk. If, as in 2018, the founders or entrepreneurs of blockchain companies make too many promises, and the projects are suspected of exaggeration, they may lose their reputation and first mover advantage< For decades, the world's largest financial institutions have controlled most of the financial systems of the global economy
however, blockchain companies have begun to gain fair competition opportunities through access to banking services and real-time payment. In 2019, the blockchain instry will enter the field of securities, loans and other derivative financial procts in addition to financial payment. Companies like securitize *, Dharma, dydx, compound finance and the ocean are committed to building decentralized finance
in the past few years, mobile application companies such as rap, gojek and paytm have been expanding their business, with payment, investment, remittance, loan and insurance procts emerging. As many Asian economies move from cash to the digital economy, they are rapidly attracting users of new banks
Asian regulators have provided clearer guidelines for blockchain and digital currency projects because they believe that blockchain is a catalyst for economic growth and may become a sunrise instry in the future
in addition, more than 80% of digital currency trading volume comes from Asia, so digital currency investors are eager to establish reliable infrastructure. If Grab, Gojek and Paytm can benefit from digital money investors, they will begin to support the block chain more, providing awesome experience for payment, loans and other derivatives.
back to the original heart
in the past few years, the digital currency instry has deviated from its original financial vision, which is well illustrated in Nakamoto's bitcoin white paper. Just like the prosperity and depression of the Internet, almost all imaginable real cases, such as the logistics chain of tracking the freshness of flowers, are attracting people's attention with the hot word of blockchain
however, just like the early Internet, real landing cases must match the development stage of technology
Netflix, for example, could not successfully stream TV programs in 2000, when less than 1% of people used broadband. In the past few years, it has become more and more obvious that payment is a real case of massive application of blockchain
in 2019, blockchain companies will develop rapidly in decentralized financial applications (such as loans and insurance procts) based on the smart contract platform
I always find that the best application landing occurs in specific market segments. As long as blockchain companies can focus on procts that solve specific problems, we will see more competitive and innovative blockchain companies
and that's a good thing for the instry as a whole.
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
