Blockchain version controller
according to Xiao Wang, the concept of blockchain as a service (baas) is mainly proposed by Microsoft and IBM. To put it bluntly, it is actually a new type of cloud service, a cloud service combined with blockchain technology. For example, Microsoft's azure cloud computing platform and IBM's bluemix garage cloud platform all provide blockchain as a service baas
blockchain as a service (baas) is a space created by enterprises such as Microsoft and IBM from their own cloud service network to run a blockchain node. Compared with ordinary nodes and exchange nodes, the main purpose of baas nodes is to quickly establish the development environment they need, and provide a series of operation services based on blockchain, such as search query, transaction submission, data analysis, etc. these services can be centralized or decentralized to help developers verify their concepts and models faster. The service of baas node is reflected in: it is more instrumental and easy to create, deploy, run and monitor blockchain.
1. Different network architectures:
decentralized application (DAPP) runs on the distributed network, the information of participants is protected (or anonymous), and the decentralized operation is carried out through different people in the network nodes. Distributed network is made up of node computers which are distributed in different places and have multiple terminals. When any line in the network fails, the communication can be completed through other links, which has high reliability
traditional app needs services provided by third-party service providers, and can achieve wireless network access through mobile communication network, which belongs to the centralized network architecture mode
2. Different from open source:
DAPP applications must be open source. Most of the tokens issued by DAPP run independently rather than controlled by an entity. All data and records must be encrypted and stored on a public and decentralized blockchain
traditional app software, games, navigation and other applications are generally provided by third-party service providers, which should solve the problems of right protection and economic interests, and their programs are not open source
extended data
in 2018, a large number of new DAPP projects were launched. According to the statistics, there are about two or three thousand dapps in the whole network. According to the DAPP survey of fluence labs, 72% of DAPP projects were launched in 2018. This means that in the past year, the number of dapps in the whole network has more than tripled
of all dapps, more than 80% are developed on Ethereum, about 20% on EOS and less than 10% on Tron. It is worth noting that about 10% of the projects are developed on multiple main chains at the same time, while the number of dapps developed on other main chains is relatively rare
there are about ten projects based on gxchain, mainly small applications in block city
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
