Development workload of Ethereum DAPP
just like bitcoin, Ethereum is neither controlled nor owned by anyone - it is an open source project created by many people around the world. Different from bitcoin protocol, Ethereum's design is very flexible and adaptable. It is very easy to create new applications on the Ethereum platform. With the release of homestead, anyone can use the applications on this platform safely
Ethereum is a programmable blockchain. It does not give users a series of preset operations, but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes. In this way, it can be used as a platform for many types of decentralized blockchain applications
in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator.

in a narrow sense, Ethereum refers to a series of protocols that define a decentralized application platform. The core of Ethereum is Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), which can encode any complex algorithm. In computer science terminology, Ethereum is "Turing complete.". Developers can use the existing JavaScript and python as the model of other friendly programming languages to create applications running on the Ethereum simulator
like other blockchains, Ethereum also has a peer-to-peer network protocol. Ethereum blockchain database is maintained and updated by many nodes connected to the network. Each network node runs the Ethereum simulator and executes the same instructions. Therefore, people sometimes call Ethereum "world computer"
this massive parallel operation throughout the Ethernet network is not to make the operation more efficient. In fact, this process makes computing on Ethereum slower and more expensive than on traditional computers. However, each Ethereum node runs Ethereum virtual machine in order to maintain the consistency of the whole blockchain. The consistency of decentralization makes Ethereum have high fault tolerance, zero downtime, and can keep the data stored on the blockchain unchanged and anti censorship
Ethereum platform has no characteristics and value. Like programming languages, it's up to entrepreneurs and developers to decide what to use. However, it is clear that some application types benefit more from the functions of Ethereum than others. Ethereum is especially suitable for those applications that automatically interact directly between points or promote group coordination activities across networks
for example, coordinate the application of point-to-point market, or the automation of complex financial contracts. Bitcoin enables indivials to exchange money without the help of financial institutions, banks or governments. The impact of Ethereum may be more profound
in theory, any complex financial activities or transactions can be automatically and reliably carried out on Ethereum with coding. In addition to financial applications, any application scenario with high requirements for trust, security and persistence, such as asset registration, voting, management and Internet of things, will be affected by Ethereum platform on a large scale
Ethereum energy coin is not MLM
Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. Ethereum provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency Ethereum
in 2013, vitalik buterin, 19, first mentioned the idea of Ethereum in a book entitled "Ethereum white paper: next generation intelligent connection and decentralized application platform". Then, in 2014, the algorithm and protocol of Ethernet coin were officially implemented, and $150 million was raised. The system itself was finally completed on July 30, 2015
as the representative of blockchain 2.0, the mainstream currency Ethernet is regarded as the wind vane of crypto digital currency market. However, over the past week, the price of ether currency has continued to fall. On August 14, 2018, the ethereal currency plummeted by 20%, reaching a record low of $257 this year. Compared with this year's peak of $1295, the price of Ethernet currency has shrunk by more than 80%. Affected by this, on August 15, 2018, none of the top ten mainstream currencies in the digital money market was spared, falling across the board, with a number of single day declines exceeding 10%
extended data
Ethereum started planning almost in 2013, and started to implement the project in 2015. Before that, there were many digital currencies imitating bitcoin in the market, and they made various modifications on the basis of bitcoin code. In this way, it is very difficult to develop a new blockchain application, to re deploy a new chain, and then to develop an application on this chain. Using a consensus mechanism of pow alone is a huge maintenance workload. It's like developing an app on a mobile phone and developing the Android system together
after Ethereum comes out, it is equivalent to the underlying operating system of the blockchain. On Ethereum, it is very convenient to develop various dapps without considering the underlying development, and it can also share the computing power and storage of Ethereum. For programmers, the threshold of blockchain development is lowered instantly. The emergence of Ethereum has played a very important role in the development and popularization of blockchain applications. That's why Ethereum is called blockchain 2.0
Bitcoin has opened the era of blockchain 1.0, which is characterized by providing a different way of thinking for value transfer, that is, value transfer no longer depends on centralized institutions such as banks. During this period, as more and more people were familiar with bitcoin, many people began to learn from the idea of bitcoin, so a large number of counterfeit coins appeared
the reason why these counterfeit coins are called "counterfeit coins" is that their source code is similar to that of bitcoin, and there is no substantive breakthrough. They also have the shortcomings of bitcoin, and there is no breakthrough improvement. However, people do not have the problem of bitcoin. Many people in the bitcoin community hope to solve these problems through a variety of technical means, so as to make the bitcoin system perfect
Among them, there is a Russian teenager named vitalik buterin, who is also eager to make up for the shortcomings of bitcoin system as soon as possiblefirst, you play games in a lively way, while others play games as gatekeepers
when he was 13 years old, he was a typical Internet addict, addicted to world of Warcraft. One day, the game company of world of Warcraft suddenly cancelled his favorite warlock "life siphon" skill. He was very angry and contacted the company many times to restore the skill. However, the game company did not agree
as a result, Butlin began to reflect that in Internet games, players, as participants, are actually very weak. The strong ones are game developers, who are the center of a game. Has the final say that the game player has no say what the developers want to do, and can only choose to accept or leave passively. p>
Butlin realized the disadvantages of centralization through "world of Warcraft", so he began to look for ways to break the centralization. Butlin realized bitcoin from his father, a programmer, and became so interested that he decided to give up the aura of a famous university and drop out of the University of Waterloo to travel around the world to exchange and learn with blockchain enthusiasts all over the world
at that time, bitcoin enthusiasts were going all out to add more functionality to bitcoin and build bitcoin 2.0. But Butlin believes that the establishment of a new programming language is bitcoin's top priority. So, at the age of 19, Butlin wrote a new white paper, which is the rudiment of Ethereum white paper. Butlin mentioned in the white paper
: he hopes to create a variety of applications based on the common programming language, such as social networking, trading, games... These ideas have been strongly echoed by the bitcoin community, and more and more people have joined in the design of Ethereum. Finally, this project was named "Ethereum" by Butlin, because "Ethereum" is a kind of material that has not been confirmed under scientific theory, implying Butlin's expectation for the project
in June 2015, Ethereum officially released
in the next two years, Ethereum's cryptocurrency "Ethereum" became the most popular digital asset after bitcoin. The price of Ethereum increased 85 times in 2017, and more than 20 global top financial institutions and technology companies, such as JPMorgan Chase, Chicago Board of exchange, Microsoft, Intel and Accenture, established the enterprise Ethereum alliance, Butlin has become a blockchain God "V God" from a young boy
2. The great potential of Ethereum to activate blockchain
the emergence of Ethereum has activated the great potential behind blockchain. Why do you say that
the breakthrough of Ethereum is that it not only upgrades the blockchain to an operating system, so that you can develop an application chain on this basis, but also allows you to publish your own tokens in a very simple way
different from bitcoin's preset trading system operation, Ethereum is a programmable blockchain:
Ethereum allows users to create their own operations that meet their needs and have different degrees of complexity. In this sense, Ethereum is a platform. This "platform" has built a relatively complete "system", which is a bit similar to Android and apple. Application developers can develop various applications on this system
this setting makes Ethereum break through the single "monetary function" of bitcoin, and expand the application scenarios of blockchain technology to all aspects. Now, for example, we can do a lot of things through mobile app: paying fees, ordering meals, taking a taxi, shopping and so on. Similarly, developers can develop DAPP (blockchain application) on Ethereum. In the future, you can use DAPP to replace app, paying fees, ordering meals, taking a taxi, shopping and so on. Ethereum gives us these beautiful visions
Thirdly, the consensus mechanism of Ethereum is different from that of bitcoin. As we mentioned earlier, bitcoin decides its bookkeeping rights through the consensus mechanism of pow. Although the security index of pow is high, the energy consumption and cost of mining are huge, and the transaction processing speed is still very slow. Therefore, Ethereum further enriched the technology of bitcoin and proposed a new mining mechanism, namely, proof of interest (POS) The "proof of equity" proposed by Ethereum is similar to the shareholder mechanism. The more shares people have, the easier they are to obtain the bookkeeping right. It is a system of interest distribution according to the amount and time of holding money. The core logic of POS mechanism is: who holds the currency, who has the control of the network. It should be noted that in the POS mechanism, there is still computing power mining, which needs to solve a mathematical problem. However, the difficulty of the mathematical problem is related to the "age" of the coin holder. The longer the coin holder holds the coin, the easier the difficulty will be, and the greater the probability of digging the coin Fourthly, the controversial ICOEthereum is an open source system, similar to the current Android and apple systems. Developers can develop various applications on it. Most of the ICO projects are based on Ethereum. If developers want to develop blockchain applications (DAPP) on Ethereum, they need to raise certain funds through ICO as operation and maintenance costs
The concept of ICO was very popular in 2017, which was once considered as the main reason for the bull market in 2017 What's the matter with ICO? ICO (initial coin offering) is a way to raise funds for digital currency / blockchain projects. Because the token has market value, it can be converted into legal currency. In this way, it can be used as the development cost of the project. And early participants can get the initial issue of digital currency in returngenerally speaking, if a blockchain game company announces: we are going to issue money for private placement (ICO)! If you are particularly optimistic about this project, if you want to participate, you need to buy a certain number of Ethereum and call the wallet address of the blockchain game project party, which is equivalent to that you have participated in the crowdfunding (ICO) of the blockchain game project party. When the currency of this blockchain game company can be traded on the exchange, then they will pay you back according to certain rules
it seems that ICO in blockchain field is similar to IPO in stock field, isn't it? you 're right! In fact, ICO in the blockchain field is very similar to IPO in the stock field. Let's take a look at their general explanation:
IPO refers to an enterprise or company (limited company) selling its shares to the public for the first time
ICO refers to an enterprise or company (mostly blockchain start-ups) selling its token to the public for the first time
however, normally speaking, it is very difficult for an enterprise or company to go through the IPO process. It is very difficult to go through "BP seed round Angel round a round B round C round D pre IPO IPO IPO" without five to eight years. However, ICO in the field of blockchain can only be realized in three to eight months by "white paper - cornerstone investment - Private Placement -
- ICO - Stock Exchange"
This is also the reason why ICO is controversial. At present, many countries define ICO as an illegal act. It is not unreasonable to ban ICO, because at present, the state has no relevant supervision on this aspect, so it is very easy for the project party to illegally raise funds and circle money, which not only causes great losses to investors, but also disrupts the normal financial order Fifthly, the most important feature of Ethereum is the introction of "smart contract". What does smart contract mean? Smart contract is to define a set of trading rules in the form of code. In our daily life, we usually sign paper contracts, and the implementation of paper contracts needs centralized institutions, that is, the court to supervise. The "smart contract" proposed by Ethereum is to realize decentralized automatic execution through programthe account called "smart contract account" will only be executed according to the code. This technology has a wide range of applications, including insurance, equity, trust and so on. It can be said that this technology can be applied to all activities that need trust
Sixth, the significance of Ethereum: it represents the blockchain 2.0 era. After the glorious period of 2017, now, in the face of bear market, some ICO projects are worried about being tired by the bear market and cash out one after another, leading to a sharp drop in the price of Ethereum. V God, the founder of Ethereum, is also deeply involved in all kinds of rumors. There are often rumors that he is going to quit Ethereum and he is running away However, Ethereum is indeed a leap forward in blockchain technology, which represents the era of blockchain2.0. If bitcoin represents the era of blockchain 1.0, it provides new ideas and new methods for value transfer; Then, the blockchain 2.0 era represented by Ethereum makes the commercial application of blockchain possible
as for whether the digital currency is a fraud, it is still uncertain. However, the digital currency scams that have been exposed often cheat and exaggerate under the name of foreign companies. In fact, these companies may not exist or have any relationship at all
is it a pyramid scheme? Compare it with normal digital cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and vitality coin.
these dapps generally have many problems, such as less daily active users, weak foundation and so on. But in the instry, it is generally expected. Compared with the development process of app, instry insiders said that DAPP still needs to overcome several difficulties in the future, such as stable and efficient public chain, developer ecology and user threshold. DAPP is now regarded as an important way to promote blockchain to ordinary people. It is not realistic to replace app with the current development speed of DAPP
however, if DAPP gives full play to its advantages in some areas, it will still pose a certain threat to app, which also depends on the development of blockchain. Dappdiscovery is also based on the present, starting a series of DAPP reports, DAPP market analysis, and the most fun DAPP game evaluation, trying to bring interesting and informative content sharing to all users.
