What are the application prospects of blockchain

1.

blockchain classification:

1 private chain

refers to the blockchain with certain centralized control. Only the general ledger technology of blockchain is used for bookkeeping. It can be a company or an indivial who enjoys the exclusive write permission of the blockchain. This blockchain is not very different from other distributed storage schemes. The participating nodes are only users themselves, and the access and use of data have strict authority management. Due to the existence of centralized control, alliance chain can also be considered as a private chain

features: because the user has the final say, the data inside can not be changed, and there is not much protection for the third party. Generally used for internal audit. The vice president of fire coin technology believes: there are indeed a large number of scenarios in the private chain that can meet the needs of the real world. Limited decentralization makes it easier to reach a consensus, which can make the transaction faster and more efficient, and can provide more controlled functions. Decentralization is the core value of blockchain technology. If the private chain can not make full use of the decentralized trust base constructed by the public chain in practice, its development space will be limited

2public chain

public blockchain is the earliest blockchain and the most widely used one at present. It refers to a completely decentralized blockchain like bitcoin blockchain, which is not controlled by any organization. Any indivial or group in the world can send a transaction, and the transaction can be effectively confirmed by the blockchain, and anyone can participate in the consensus process. Participants in the consensus process maintain database security through cryptography and built-in economic incentives

features: completely open, uncontrolled, rely on encryption technology to ensure security

3 alliance chain

multiple preselected nodes are designated as bookkeepers within a certain group. The generation of each block is jointly determined by all preselected nodes. Other access nodes can participate in the transaction, but not the bookkeeping process (in essence, it's still managed bookkeeping, but it's just distributed bookkeeping. How many preselected nodes are there, How to decide the bookkeeper of each block becomes the main risk point of the blockchain). Anyone else can make limited query through the open API of the blockchain

the nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and the nodes are likely to have good network connections. Other consensus algorithms without workload proof can be used on such a blockchain. For example, a blockchain has been established among 100 financial institutions, and more than 67 institutions must agree to reach a consensus

Prospect:

the development of blockchain technology has also brought changes in the operation concepts of various instries. New technologies and new concepts have promoted the new development of various instries. This driving force has a huge impact on society and the promotion of economic activities. Many new instrial phenomena will occur one after another, and the public will wait and see, It is expected that this new technology will be used by all instries and benefit all instries better

2. Since 2019, blockchain has been mentioned continuously. As the key technology of the next generation Internet, governments and giant enterprises have increased their efforts in the research and application of blockchain, and the competition for the right to set instry standards is becoming fierce
according to the "2019-2020 global blockchain technology layout and business investment trend research report" released by AI media consulting, with the further liberalization of policies in the future, China's blockchain instry will usher in a stage of rapid development, and is expected to enter the first echelon of global blockchain instry in an all-round way< The importance of blockchain technology to a new round of instrial reform has been paid more and more attention. Major countries around the world have accelerated the research and development of blockchain technology. However, because the instry has not yet formed a unified technical standard system, the application and promotion of blockchain are still subject to many restrictions< Second, the barbaric growth has ended and the instry has entered a new stage
after the capital winter of 2018, a large number of blockchain enterprises have been eliminated, the overall popularity of the instry has declined, and the capital has returned to rationality, and the barbaric growth stage of the blockchain instry is coming to an end. In 2019, policy factors will pull the blockchain back to the development wind, and capital and talents will flow into the blockchain instry again. With the continuous advancement of application, supervision and standardization, truly competitive blockchain enterprises will graally emerge, and the instry will usher in a new round of rapid growth.

3. In the era of blockchain 1.0
this generation of blockchain technology has no application function, which is to issue currency, represented by bitcoin
in the era of blockchain 2.0
blockchain 2.0 is a programmable blockchain
the era of blockchain 3.0
blockchain 3.0 is beyond the financial instry, covering all aspects of social life.

4. The application scenarios of blockchain technology are diverse. Once it is popularized, the whole society will be greatly benefited
1. Financial services
the application of blockchain in the financial field has already spread out, which is not a new thing. The application of blockchain in financial technology has been widely concerned and highly valued all over the world
in mainland China, China UnionPay signed a strategic cooperation agreement on mobile payment with Bank of China in early 2018, explored cooperation in the field of blockchain, and then cooperated with Jingdong to jointly launch the "Internet financial payment security alliance risk information sharing (distributed query) platform" based on blockchain
in Hong Kong, China, the Hong Kong Monetary regulatory authority is one of the earliest regulators to launch sandbox, supporting financial innovation experiments including blockchain technology; The HKMA has also joined hands with the banking instry to launch etradeconnect, which is the first large-scale trade financing information sharing platform for Hong Kong banking instry to apply blockchain technology< On September 18, 2018, Hangzhou Internet court officially launched the chain and became the first court in the world to use blockchain for trial
it is understood that prosecutors can submit electronic evidence such as contract, rights protection process and service process details online through online complaint portal, and notarization office, forensic identification center, CA / RA organization, court and other chain nodes can witness and endorse together to provide one-stop service for prosecutors. Hangzhou Internet court of Zhejiang Province made a public judgment on a case of infringement on the right of network dissemination of works' information, and confirmed the legal effect of electronic data with blockchain technology for the first time
3. Intellectual property
blockchain and related distributed ledger technology provide the possibility for the protection and registration of intellectual property, as well as evidence in the registration stage or court litigation stage. These technologies can also speed up the above intellectual property protection and registration process in a cost-effective way
4. Logistics
in early 2018, rookie and tmall global jointly announced that blockchain technology has been used to track, upload and verify the logistics full link information of cross-border imported goods
after all nodes of the logistics chain are connected to the blockchain, the goods can be traced from manufacturers to consumers, forming a complete chain; The more links the commodity is missing, the more likely it is to be a fake proct
5. Electronic invoice
on August 10, 2018, Shenzhen International Trade revolving restaurant issued the first electronic invoice of blockchain in China. It is understood that this electronic invoice of blockchain was led by Shenzhen Taxation Bureau and provided by Tencent with underlying technology and capability
different from traditional e-invoice and simple e-invoice on the chain, this blockchain e-invoice integrates "capital flow and invoice flow", combines invoice issuing with online payment, and opens up the whole process of invoice application, invoice issuing, reimbursement and tax declaration
in addition to the above fields, the application of blockchain has broad blue ocean prospects. In the future, new technology application and development will emerge in all walks of life, and blockchain will flourish.

financial field

blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can save the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment

in the field of Internet of things and logistics, blockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management. This field is considered as a promising application direction of blockchain

in the field of public service

blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy, transportation, etc., but the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain. The decentralized and fully distributed DNS service provided by the blockchain can realize domain name query and resolution through the point-to-point data transmission service between nodes in the network. It can be used to ensure that the operating system and firmware of an important infrastructure have not been tampered with. It can monitor the status and integrity of the software and detect bad tampering, And ensure that the data transmitted by the system using the Internet of things technology has not been tampered with

in the field of digital right

through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection

in the field of insurance

in terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized

public welfare

the data stored on the blockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision
