One stop analysis and summary of blockchain
From the current mainstream blockchain projects, blockchain projects are mainly divided into four categories: the first category: currency; The second is platform; The third category: application category; The fourth type: asset token
currencies mainly act as the "exchange media" in the field of blockchain assets, and the exchange media refer to general equivalents, such as gold and silver bills in the past< (currency exchange on trading blockchain assets)
platform projects refer to the establishment of technical platforms to meet the needs of various blockchain application development, which can rece the threshold of application development on blockchain
application projects cover a wide range of fields, including finance, social networking, games, property rights protection, etc., and are also the fastest growing fields of blockchain assets
asset token project refers to the blockchain mapping of physical assets, that is, the physical assets on the chain. At present, there are no more than 10 varieties
01 currency
the first category is currency project, which is also the earliest blockchain project. Currency projects mainly include bitcoin and lightcoin. In addition, there is another kind of asset with the characteristics of anonymity. Its main functions include protecting the privacy of both sides of payment while realizing payment. The well-known ones are dash, monero and zcash. Currency is mainly used as the "exchange medium" in the field of blockchain assets. The exchange medium is the general equivalent you use to exchange goods. For example, gold, silver and silver bills can be used as the exchange medium in the past. At present, there are more than 2100 types of digital assets in the world, and the number of currency blockchain projects has increased rapidly recently. As of June 2018, bitcoin is still the largest market value
02 platform type
the second type is platform type blockchain project. The main function of platform type blockchain project is to establish a technical platform to meet the technical requirements of various blockchain application development; In short, platform applications allow developers to directly issue digital assets and write smart contracts on the blockchain. Smart contract is a computer program running on the blockchain database, which can be automatically executed under the conditions of its source code setting
for example, you develop a smart contract based on the house rent protocol on the blockchain. When the owner receives the rent, it will trigger the automatic execution and give the security key of the apartment to the tenant
the main function of platform blockchain projects is to establish the underlying technology platform, so that developers can do application development on the underlying technology platform. A considerable number of platforms are still in the development state. As of June 2018, Ethereum has the largest market value
03 application
the third category is application blockchain projects. Application projects are blockchain projects based on blockchain development platform (such as Ethereum), which can solve many problems in various fields of the real economy
for example, augur, Golem, vechain, omisego, which provides asset exchange and transfer services. Using blockchain technology, these projects can better solve the problems of trust and cross-border circulation. At the same time, using smart contracts and tokens on the blockchain, they can better realize automatic execution and greatly improve the efficiency of social and economic activities. Application blockchain projects cover a wide range of fields, including finance, social networking, games, property rights protection and so on. It is also the field with the fastest market value increment of blockchain projects at present
04 asset token
the fourth category is the asset token blockchain project. Asset token refers to linking the blockchain assets to physical assets such as gold and US dollars, which is the blockchain mapping of physical assets. As of February 2018, there are no more than 10 varieties. The typical representatives are usdt against US dollars, digix Dao against gold, Digix each token represents 1 gram of Gold Certified by the London Bullion Market Association. Asset token has the advantages of convenient transaction and safekeeping. First of all, asset token is more convenient for transaction. Because blockchain assets can be split, it has better liquidity
for example, at present, real estate needs to be transferred as a whole. If the real estate can be token, it can be split and purchased, which is more convenient for transaction. Secondly, the token of physical assets is more concive to custody. Gold is easy to wear out and cause losses in physical transactions, but there is no need for physical transfer after the token of physical assets, which is more concive to the custody of physical assets
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
1. Decentralized: the left side of Figure 1 describes the centralized characteristics of today's financial system, and the right side describes the emerging decentralized financial system, which has no intermediary, and the rights and obligations of all nodes are equal. Any node that stops working will not affect the overall operation of the system
2. Trustworthiness: all nodes in the system can trade without trust, because the operation of the database and the whole system is open and transparent, and nodes cannot cheat each other within the rules and time range of the system
3. Collective maintenance: the system is maintained by all the nodes with maintenance function, and all the people in the system participate in the maintenance work together
4. Reliable database: every node in the system has the latest complete database , so it is invalid to modify the database of a single node, because the system will automatically compare and think that the same data record that appears most times is true
the blockchains of bitcoin, Ethereum and decent all have these characteristics.
Blockchain platforms include Ethereum, Asch and other underlying application development platforms
Ethereum, an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function, provides decentralized Ethereum virtual machine to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (ETH)
arch, a decentralized application platform based on side chain technology. Asch is designed to lower the threshold of developers, such as using JavaScript as the application programming language and supporting relational database to store transaction data, which is believed to be very attractive to developers and small and medium-sized enterprises
extended data
in 2008, Nakamoto first proposed the concept of blockchain. In the following years, blockchain has become the core component of electronic currency bitcoin: public account book for all transactions
by using peer-to-peer network and distributed timestamp server, the blockchain database can be managed independently. The blockchain invented for bitcoin makes it the first digital currency to solve the problem of repeated consumption. Bitcoin's design is a source of inspiration for other applications
bitcoin is the absolute mainstream of digital currency, and digital currency is in full bloom. Bitcoin, litecoin, dogecoin, dashcoin are common. In addition to currency application, there are various derivative applications, such as Ethereum, Asch and other underlying application development platforms, as well as NXT, SIA, bitstocks, maidsafe, ripple and other instrial applications
broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm to program and manipulate data by using smart contracts composed of automated script code
