Killer application of Ethereum
DTV share, Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machines to handle point-to-point contracts through its private cryptocurrency, Ethernet. Key points: open source, smart contract function, public chain platform, Ethernet
2017 is the first year of blockchain outbreak, and 2018 will be the first year of blockchain landing
what changes has blockchain brought to the world from 1.0 to 3.0
the development of blockchain can be divided into three stages: point-to-point transaction, smart contract and pan blockchain application Ecology (token economy)
blockchain 1.0 era: the era of digital currency return rate is the king, Digital currency trading is the most important form for people to participate in the blockchain. At this stage, few people really pay attention to the application value of digital currency, let alone the practical value of blockchain technology behind it. People's focus is on the rate of return of digital currency, which is equivalent to buying stocks on another disk. However, this "stock" is more active, and the rate of return is amazing. Of course, it is also full of sorrow
blockchain 2.0 era: smart contract provides infrastructure support for upper layer application development
"smart contract" era, which is the real programmable blockchain, usually represented by "Ethereum", supports Turing's complete scripting language at this stage, It provides the necessary infrastructure for developers to develop any application on the basis of their set "operating system", and realizes the application landing of virtual world. The biggest contribution of blockchain 2.0 is to completely subvert the traditional concepts of currency and payment through smart contracts. In the era of blockchain 2.0, blockchain has formed a trust foundation based on the characteristics of traceability and non tampering, which provides a trusted execution environment for smart contracts and makes it possible for contracts to be automated and intelligent. The biggest difference between the smart contract and the traditional contract is that it is not restricted by the law of the real society. For the contract subject to automatically execute the agreement after triggering the contract terms, However, the arbitration platform no longer judges the execution result in the smart contract, but undertakes the responsibility of execution
blockchain 3.0: the subversion of business lies in the transformation of proction relations
we are now at the junction of 2.0 era and 3.0 era, which can be regarded as an ideal vision for the future virtual digital currency economy, In blockchain 3.0, people can really realize the asset on the chain, build a variety of applications in a large underlying framework, build a platform with no trust cost, super trading ability and extremely low risk, which can be used to realize the increasingly automated distribution of physical resources and human assets around the world, and promote large-scale cooperation in science, health, ecation and other fields
blockchain 2.0 constructs digital identity, smart contract and other infrastructure. On this basis, it hides the complexity of underlying technology, and application developers can focus more on application logic and business logic. That is to say, we have entered the era of blockchain 3.0, which is marked by the emergence of token. Token is the value transmission carrier on the blockchain network, which can also be understood as token or token
the greatest effect of token on human society lies in its transformation of proction relations. Joint stock companies will be replaced, and every actual participant will become the owner of proction capital. This new type of proction relations inspires every participant to contribute his proctivity continuously, which is a great liberation of proctivity. If this kind of business activity is mapped into the inflation of real society, as long as the former outperforms the latter, every token holder will gain over time
it's too early to talk about blockchain 3.0. Although blockchain has gone out of the conceptual stage, the current situation of blockchain technology development is that the underlying technology is not mature enough and the application scenarios are limited. On the one hand, consensus algorithm and other core technologies of blockchain still have room for optimization and improvement; On the other hand, the processing efficiency of blockchain is difficult to meet the requirements of some high-frequency application environments in reality. Moreover, the current mainstream blockchain technology platforms are all originated from abroad. Domestic blockchain technology service providers should patiently start from the bottom development, achieve independent and controllable technology, and strive to lead the development of global blockchain technology, which still needs a certain period of time
the final goal of the competition is to really concentrate on the research of technology and the development of practical application enterprises! According to my observation, among the various applications based on Ethereum, SEC social e-commerce chain has a great chance of landing, which is likely to become a killer application. In the official account of SECblock, weekly weekly reports show that the team is working hard. p>
this division of cognition not only helps us understand digital currency, but also guides our behavior in the process of investment. So I'm going to analyze this topic in two or three articles
from the perspective of cognition, I divide all digital currencies into the following three categories:
the first category is that their value and consensus have been strongly recognized, almost indisputable, and have been transmitted from within the circle to outside the circle. This kind of currency is the least in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes bitcoin and Taiwan dollar. Bitcoin is recognized as "digital gold" and has repeatedly shown the characteristics of "sea calming needle" when the external political and economic environment is unstable; The profit model of platform currency is clear, especially the top three platform currencies have solid cash flow and income relying on the exchange
when talking about this kind of currency, both their consensus and value are highly recognized in the instry, and ordinary people can understand it outside the instry
when we talk about bitcoin with ordinary people, as long as we tell them that gold goes up, bitcoin goes up; When talking about platform currency with ordinary people, just tell them that platform currency is equivalent to the stock of securities companies, and they will immediately understand what we are talking about
although some people outside the instry do not agree with some consensus (for example, some people still do not agree with the value of bitcoin), this does not prevent ordinary people from understanding what we are talking about
the second type is that consensus has been reached, but the actual use value is still being proved, or the so-called "use value" can not show us the actual effect for the time being. This kind of currency is slightly more than the first kind, but also very few in the whole field of digital currency
this kind of currency typically includes Ethereum, EOS and cross chain projects in the field of smart contract
take Ethereum and EOS for example, they are highly expected by the instry. We hope to see that their smart contract function can proce killer applications and bring higher efficiency and lower cost to our daily life
in the past two years, Ethereum has developed a highly concerned defi Ecology (defi, decentralized finance, often referred to as distributed finance or decentralized Finance) in the instry
however, does this ecology have a direct relationship with the life of ordinary people or bring direct benefits? In fact, it does not exist at all. It is still a "niche ecology" in a small circle, far away from our daily life
the ecosystem developed by EOS in the past two years is far from the areas where we expect to bring value into play, and even there are not many people in the instry who pay attention to it
the concept of cross chain project is very novel when it first came out, and it is also considered by the instry to have great potential demand. But after a period of discussion, some people began to question whether this demand really exists
the instry has a consensus, or even a high consensus, on these currencies, but their current value is not satisfactory. Therefore, even if they are recognized by the instry, it is difficult for this consensus to be transmitted outside the instry, not to mention that ordinary people can understand these consensus and values
so we can't talk with ordinary people about what "defi" and "cross chain" are and what's the use
the third category is the currency whose consensus is still in the process of forming. The design objectives and scenarios of this kind of currency may not be understood or recognized by the instry, or even there are great differences in understanding. Their value is even more difficult to judge. This kind of currency accounts for the vast majority of the current market.
