Three types of Ethereum protocol
Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (also known as "Ethereum")
The token on theblockchain is called ether, and the code is eth. It can be traded in many foreign exchange markets of cryptocurrency, and it is also the medium used to pay transaction fees and computing services on Ethereum
the concept of Ethereum was first proposed by vitalik buterin, a programmer, from 2013 to 2014, inspired by bitcoin, with the general meaning of "next generation cryptocurrency and decentralized application platform", and began to develop through ICO crowdfunding in 2014. As of February 2018, Ethernet is the second highest cryptocurrency in market value, second only to bitcoin
extended data:
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
-
about the variability of blockchain
-
eth, if most people agree to modify the chain, that is, variability, then they can modify the blockchain records and contracts
-
etc, blockchain records and contracts can't be modified, that is, they can't be tampered with
-
here are the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods
The advantage of -
variability is that people can make timely changes to make the right decisions. Therefore, modifying the specification is more practical than finding loopholes
-
non modifiability means that no matter how smart people are at that time, it is impossible not to make mistakes. Therefore, when problems arise in this scheme, it is best to find and solve the loopholes through the existing legal framework
-
differences in development
-
eth, whether it is intentionally arranged or since its birth, the core decisions of blockchain are made by Ethereum foundation with the participation of the community and most of them are developed by it
-
etc, the decision-making of blockchain is mainly decided by the feedback of three loose, collaborative teams with community participation
-
in any case, anyone can put forward improvement suggestions for the two kinds of blockchains. This is the benefit of open source, and it is also very common. You will find that developers of the two chains communicate with each other through GitHub and reddit. I hope to improve the frequency of communication in order to achieve the common goal
-
about compatibility
-
at present, the two kinds of blockchains are compatible with each other. Contracts or applications written by eth can be applied on etc, and vice versa
-
eth, focusing on ewasm, is committed to providing a platform for more and more developers, while the issue of contract security is secondary, such as viper
-
etc focuses on making developers create more secure contracts, such as viper, iohk research, at the cost of consuming the number of potential developers
-
it's obvious that both chains can accept each other, regardless of whether their wishes are the same or not. My view is that the number of developers is not necessarily related to the quality of the proct
-
about the transaction speed
-
eth, the average is 25 seconds, which will be shortened after upgrading
-
etc, with an average time of 14 seconds, maintained at 10-14 seconds after upgrade, according to ecip-1010 and ecip-1036 protocols
-
about the block capacity
-
eth, with the daily trading volume of eth graally reaching 5 million, the block capacity is graally saturated. This situation is similar to the recent transaction cost of bitcoin. This problem can be solved by expanding the block capacity by increasing the default fuel limit
ETC， At present, there is still a lot of room for block capacity. As more and more people accept etc, the block capacity will also increase, just like eth
-
about community
-
eth, mainly discuss on reddit
-
etc, mainly discuss on slack
-
about monetary policy
-
eth, the planned supply is growing steadily, resulting in an average inflation of 3% in eth blockchain in its life cycle
-
etc, before 2025, inflation will reach 3%, and then the total supply will reach 200 million etc, and then there will be deflation
As for the regional distribution of trading volume, China accounts for 20%, South Korea 25% and the United States 25% In etc, China accounts for 50%, South Korea 25% and the United States 10% About securities, at present, investors do not have the option to trade securities. Recently, one of eth's ETFs, trading open-end index funds, was denied by the regulators -
etc owns etc trading trust, which allows investors to own etc instead of the asset itself
what is Ethereum
Ethereum is often compared with bitcoin, but the situation is different. Bitcoin is a kind of cryptocurrency and distributed payment network, which allows bitcoin to be transferred between users
related: what is bitcoin? How does it work
Ethereum has a bigger goal. As Ethereum says, "Ethereum is a distributed platform running smart contracts.". These smart contracts run on "Ethereum virtual machine", a distributed computing network composed of all devices running Ethernet nodes
"distributed platform" means that anyone can set up and run an Ethereum node just as anyone can run a bitcoin node. Anyone who wants to run "smart contracts" on nodes must pay the operators of these nodes in ether, which is a cryptocurrency related to Ethereum. Therefore, the person running the Ethernet node provides computing power and gets paid in the Ethernet, which is similar to the way that the person running the bitcoin node provides hash power and pays in bitcoin
in other words, although bitcoin is only a blockchain and payment network, Ethereum is a distributed computing network, and its blockchain can be used for many other things. Details are provided in the Ethereum white paper
what is ether
Ethernet is a digital token (or cryptocurrency) related to Ethereum blockchain. In other words, Ethereum is the token and Ethereum is the platform. But now people often use these terms alternately. For example, coinbase allows you to buy Ethereum, which stands for Ethereum
this is technically "altcoin", which actually means a non bitcoin cryptocurrency. Like bitcoin, ether is supported by distributed blockchain - in this case, Ethereum blockchain
developers who want to create applications or Ethereum smart contracts on Ethereum blockchain need Ethernet token to pay for nodes to host it, while users of Ethereum based applications may need Ethernet to pay for services in these applications. People can also sell services outside the Ethereum network and accept Ethernet payments, or they can sell Ethernet tokens in cash - just like bitcoin

China's postal code adopts a four level six digit structure. The first two digits indicate the province (municipality directly under the central government or autonomous region); The first three digits indicate the postal area; The first four digits represent counties (cities); The last two digits indicate the delivery office. Postcode is to realize the implementation of automatic mail sorting scheme, because the computer can not recognize Chinese, but can recognize numbers. Code each area, can quickly use the computer sorting, to write the more detailed the better

in front of the article: the video version is slightly different from the text version. If you want to see my affectionate interpretation, please see the video version (meow understands blockchain phase 22 | sharding: Ethereum is too slow, "disk" him!), The logic of thinking is strange. Please see the extended version
recently, Ethereum has shown an overwhelming positive trend e to the Constantinople upgrade, while Ethereum's upgrade road is like upgrading and fighting monsters, falling into rabbithole. No one knows how deep the hole is. Since it is a long way to go, it is of vital importance to make every step well and accurately. After overcoming this difficulty, Ethereum's next technical difficulty, sharding fragmentation, has been put on the table again. This issue of "meow understands blockchain" will take you into sharding, the magic weapon that makes Ethereum fast
what is sharding
slicing technology is not a new concept. At first, it is an optimization scheme for large central database. Specifically, it divides the data in large database into many shards according to certain rules, and then stores these data in different servers to rece the data access pressure of each server, So as to improve the performance of the whole database system
let's take a small popular example:
for example, meituan, Didi taxi and other software that we often use can be divided according to the "city". Because the data of different cities do not need to communicate, the data of different cities can be stored in different databases, so that the database server can be deployed to the nearest node from the corresponding city, Can also improve the speed of access, why not do it
from the above examples, we should have a preliminary understanding of the concept of fragmentation. What about fragmentation in blockchain scenarios
taking Ethereum fragmentation as an example, in the original single chain system, the overall performance of the public chain depends on the performance of a single node. After fragmentation, each node only needs to undertake the work of the whole network, and each fragmentation works in parallel. According to vitalik, each shard is like a separate galaxy, and each fragmentation is like an independent universe, In this way, the efficiency will be improved naturally! Originally, the total network TPS of Ethereum chain was about 20. Now, if it is increased to 100 pieces, the total network TPS can be increased to 2000. Similarly, the total network capacity will be increased to 100 times of the original
"each node only needs to undertake part of the work of the whole network", which will lead to several major problems. 1. How to determine which piece of work this node is responsible for? 2. Which transactions should be classified into which segments? 3. Does each node only need to store its own transaction information (ledger)
according to the implementation of the above problems, we can divide the fragmentation into three types: network fragmentation, transaction fragmentation and state fragmentation
Network fragmentation: how to divide the nodes of the whole network into different partitions
transaction segmentation: how to divide the whole network transactions into different segments
State fragmentation: how to make each node only maintain the account book in its own fragmentation without affecting the security of the whole system
the difference and connection between main chain and fragmentation chain
we have understood the types of fragmentation, so what's the difference between main chain and shard chain
turn left | turn right
the realization of Ethereum fragmentation is a long process. Even vitalik himself said that it will be graally realized by stages. We'd better look forward to whether fragmentation can move from theory to practice
It represents IP protocol network
in the layer 2 MAC frame, because in addition to the IP protocol network, there are ATM network, FDDI network and other network types
