Blockchain industry development report 2018
Five aspects of blockchain instry growth potential promote the healthy development of Technology Virtual reality and other technologies are another emerging technology that will have a significant impact on the future, which is expected to promote human beings from the era of information internet to the era of value Internet
some countries and regions in the United States, Japan and the European Union have promoted the development of blockchain as an important national development strategy, and vigorously promoted the development and application of blockchain technology. China also attaches great importance to the technological innovation and instrial development of blockchain. With the joint participation of it and other enterprises, a large number of new enterprises, new procts, new models and new applications have emerged. The application of blockchain in the fields of finance, government affairs, energy, medical and other instries has graally expanded, and is becoming an important force to drive the technological proct innovation and instrial transformation of various instries
the development of blockchain can be divided into three stages, namely, blockchain 1.0, represented by bitcoin and related financial infrastructure applications, and blockchain 2.0, represented by smart contract. At present, it is graally moving towards blockchain 3.0, which is based on blockchain technology and more complex in-depth application of smart contract
statistical analysis of blockchain investment and financing in the first half of the year. According to the statistical data of in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, in the first half of 2018, the amount of financing in the blockchain field was about 10.7 billion, with a year-on-year growth rate of 1426% compared with the same period in 2017; The number of investment and financing events in the field of blockchain has reached 205, and it is expected that the investment in the field of blockchain will usher in another peak this year

statistics and growth of blockchain investment and financing in the first half of 2014-2018
data source: China attaches great importance to the development and application of blockchain technology. Driven by multiple forces such as policy, technology and market, the pace of blockchain innovation has been accelerating. It has been deeply integrated with cloud computing, big data, Internet of things and other technologies. The scope of exploration and application has also expanded from digital assets to supply chain management, intelligent manufacturing, instrial Internet, social welfare, right protection and other fields
five aspects to promote the healthy development of blockchain technology, promote the high-quality development of digital economy
1, in-depth study and grasp the development trend of blockchain technology and instry. Pay close attention to the international development frontier, jointly promote the research of blockchain related technology and instry, promote the standardization of blockchain development instry behavior, and create a good development environment
2. Strengthen the construction of core technology capacity of blockchain
establish and improve the collaborative promotion mechanism among backbone enterprises, universities and research institutions, guide it enterprises to strengthen technical reserves, accelerate the breakthrough of key core technologies, and improve the performance, efficiency and security of blockchain
3. Support entrepreneurship and innovation in the field of blockchain
encourage cross-border integration between blockchain enterprises and user units, guide instry organizations to establish public service platforms, support third-party organizations to carry out evaluation and detection of blockchain services, promote rich instrial applications of blockchain, and serve the transformation and upgrading of the real economy
4. Actively build and improve the blockchain standard system
accelerate the development and application of key standards, and graally build a perfect standard system. Actively connect with ITU, ISO and other international standards organizations, substantially participate in more international standardization work, and actively contribute more "Chinese power"
5. Accelerate the improvement of the policy environment for blockchain development
support qualified enterprises to carry out application innovation and mode innovation, and guide and encourage enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes to jointly cultivate professional talents needed for blockchain development. Support eligible blockchain enterprises to enjoy the preferential tax policies of the state to support the development of software instry and small and medium-sized enterprises
the instrial scale is small, but the growth potential is huge
the blockchain economy is on the eve of the outbreak period. The financial instry is relatively widely used, and the application of other instries has also entered the stage of exploration and development. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2022, the direct market value of blockchain will increase from US $410 million to US $7.68 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 79.6%. It is estimated that all kinds of extended business based on blockchain will reach US $100 billion in 2020
instry application areas continue to expand
the financial instry takes the lead in the application of blockchain technology, and many financial applications have been implemented; Medical instry is an important area of blockchain application, which can better protect privacy, improve service quality and management efficiency; The demand of social authentication for blockchain is rising rapidly to solve the proof problem caused by information asymmetry; The application of blockchain technology in communication, supply chain and other fields is expanding rapidly
in 2017, blockchain became the focus all over the world. If at the beginning, the emergence of blockchain made people in the instry excited, and the ordinary people took an indifferent attitude and just ate melon Road, now it can be said that blockchain has quickly and deeply entered the public field of vision
the concept of blockchain was proposed by Nakamoto in 2008. It has the characteristics of decentralization, non tampering, traceability and so on, attracting many investors to participate in it. Blockchain has graally entered into various instries, which has brought considerable changes as well as some adverse effects
through the collection and collation of relevant data of China's blockchain instry, analysts analyzed and discussed the development trend of China's blockchain instry. The rising trend of blockchain popularity is obvious. From the network index trend chart of blockchain and digital currency in the past six months, it can be seen that the popularity of blockchain only increases, and even rises explosively by the end of 2017. According to the trend chart, it can be predicted that the growth of blockchain network index will show a gentle trend in the near future
the network index of digital currency closely related to blockchain is not much different from that of blockchain before 2018. That's because the popularity of blockchain ignites the value of bitcoin, and many people take the opportunity to follow suit, which makes the market once chaotic. Since the beginning of 2018, the network index of blockchain has far exceeded that of digital currency. This change shows that more people are focusing on blockchain, which will be more concive to the healthy development of blockchain technology
as the value of digital currency represented by bitcoin doubled, ICO came into being. ICO financing mode is similar to and different from the traditional IPO Financing Mode. It can open the global market and get more development opportunities. However, e to many people's ulterior motives and the fact that ICO does not go through any strict review process at present, the ICO market is in chaos. The positive and negative effects of ICO also make various countries hold different attitudes in the face of this mixed market
according to the attitude information table of some countries towards ICO, China and Japan have the most clear attitude. China has banned ICO projects and defined them as illegal financing; Japan allows ICO projects and takes the lead in establishing blockchain alliance; The Philippines, Russia, Canada and other countries adopt the mode of supervision and development, do not prohibit ICO projects, and actively build regulatory systems. The United States is a federal country, and the attitude of each state is different
it is worth mentioning that the attitude of Hong Kong and Macao of China towards ICO coincides with that of the mainland, while that of Taiwan is quite different. The person in charge of "Taiwan financial regulatory authority" promised to adopt a more friendly attitude and support enterprises to develop and adopt cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in Taiwan
the top 10 national blockchain platforms are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
according to the national blockchain platform TOP10, bitmainland, Babbitt / blockyuan and fire coin net have taken the top three positions. The blockchain platforms of TOP10 are mainly concentrated in Beijing, most of which were launched earlier than 2016. Generally speaking, the development of blockchain has driven the development of related instries, and also set off a wave of entrepreneurship
the enterprises related to blockchain are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, which are affected by the high barriers of blockchain technology. Beijing is rich in human resources and has a good entrepreneurial environment. Shanghai has a unique financial position and has the greatest possibility of incubating the most successful enterprises in the application of blockchain. Guangdong has a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere, which can attract relevant entrepreneurs and promote the landing of relevant enterprises. In addition, Hangzhou also benefited from its excellent Internet finance instry, and the blockchain instry performed well. With the development of blockchain, there will be more related enterprises in more cities< The heat of br/> block chain has also been reced, and a large number of official account have been generated. From the TOP10 official account of WeChat, we can see that the number one fan of "digital money trend maniac" has been estimated to be about 800000 in the past seven days, and second "Wang Chai block chain journal" predicted that the active fans are also close to 500 thousand people. The estimated number of fans who are close to 400 thousand is "third". The official account also shows that more and more people are paying attention to the block chain instry.
blockchain is becoming more and more popular. The average salary of related posts was 23800 yuan before November 2017, and it has reached 25800 yuan by 2018. According to the chart of skills requirements for blockchain positions, the most important is the commonly used development languages (go, C + +, Java). In addition, we also need to have sufficient understanding of cryptography, formula algorithm, and smart contract. In addition, there are also positions with relatively low operation threshold. In general, the talent gap in the blockchain instry is relatively large< Br/> block chain technology is considered to be the fifth core technology most likely to trigger disruptive revolution. After the stage of chaos and bubble period, with the intervention of national policies and the implementation of relevant regulation, it will graally take the right track and develop towards health. The development of br/> block chains will inevitably proce bubbles, but these bubbles will graally become controllable with the healthy development of block chains. The development prospects of block chains and the innovations they can bring are unpredictable. In the future, let's leave this stage to it and watch its performance< br/>
