2018 blockchain Industry Research Report
in 2017, blockchain became the focus all over the world. If at the beginning, the emergence of blockchain made people in the instry excited, and the ordinary people took an indifferent attitude and just ate melon Road, now it can be said that blockchain has quickly and deeply entered the public field of vision
the concept of blockchain was proposed by Nakamoto in 2008. It has the characteristics of decentralization, non tampering, traceability and so on, attracting many investors to participate in it. Blockchain has graally entered into various instries, which has brought considerable changes as well as some adverse effects
through the collection and collation of relevant data of China's blockchain instry, analysts analyzed and discussed the development trend of China's blockchain instry. The rising trend of blockchain popularity is obvious. From the network index trend chart of blockchain and digital currency in the past six months, it can be seen that the popularity of blockchain only increases, and even rises explosively by the end of 2017. According to the trend chart, it can be predicted that the growth of blockchain network index will show a gentle trend in the near future
the network index of digital currency closely related to blockchain is not much different from that of blockchain before 2018. That's because the popularity of blockchain ignites the value of bitcoin, and many people take the opportunity to follow suit, which makes the market once chaotic. Since the beginning of 2018, the network index of blockchain has far exceeded that of digital currency. This change shows that more people are focusing on blockchain, which will be more concive to the healthy development of blockchain technology
as the value of digital currency represented by bitcoin doubled, ICO came into being. ICO financing mode is similar to and different from the traditional IPO Financing Mode. It can open the global market and get more development opportunities. However, e to many people's ulterior motives and the fact that ICO does not go through any strict review process at present, the ICO market is in chaos. The positive and negative effects of ICO also make various countries hold different attitudes in the face of this mixed market
according to the attitude information table of some countries towards ICO, China and Japan have the most clear attitude. China has banned ICO projects and defined them as illegal financing; Japan allows ICO projects and takes the lead in establishing blockchain alliance; The Philippines, Russia, Canada and other countries adopt the mode of supervision and development, do not prohibit ICO projects, and actively build regulatory systems. The United States is a federal country, and the attitude of each state is different
it is worth mentioning that the attitude of Hong Kong and Macao of China towards ICO coincides with that of the mainland, while that of Taiwan is quite different. The person in charge of "Taiwan financial regulatory authority" promised to adopt a more friendly attitude and support enterprises to develop and adopt cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in Taiwan
the top 10 national blockchain platforms are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
according to the national blockchain platform TOP10, bitmainland, Babbitt / blockyuan and fire coin net have taken the top three positions. The blockchain platforms of TOP10 are mainly concentrated in Beijing, most of which were launched earlier than 2016. Generally speaking, the development of blockchain has driven the development of related instries, and also set off a wave of entrepreneurship
the enterprises related to blockchain are mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, which are affected by the high barriers of blockchain technology. Beijing is rich in human resources and has a good entrepreneurial environment. Shanghai has a unique financial position and has the greatest possibility of incubating the most successful enterprises in the application of blockchain. Guangdong has a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere, which can attract relevant entrepreneurs and promote the landing of relevant enterprises. In addition, Hangzhou also benefited from its excellent Internet finance instry, and the blockchain instry performed well. With the development of blockchain, there will be more related enterprises in more cities< The heat of br/> block chain has also been reced, and a large number of official account have been generated. From the TOP10 official account of WeChat, we can see that the number one fan of "digital money trend maniac" has been estimated to be about 800000 in the past seven days, and second "Wang Chai block chain journal" predicted that the active fans are also close to 500 thousand people. The estimated number of fans who are close to 400 thousand is "third". The official account also shows that more and more people are paying attention to the block chain instry.
blockchain is becoming more and more popular. The average salary of related posts was 23800 yuan before November 2017, and it has reached 25800 yuan by 2018. According to the chart of skills requirements for blockchain positions, the most important is the commonly used development languages (go, C + +, Java). In addition, we also need to have sufficient understanding of cryptography, formula algorithm, and smart contract. In addition, there are also positions with relatively low operation threshold. In general, the talent gap in the blockchain instry is relatively large< Br/> block chain technology is considered to be the fifth core technology most likely to trigger disruptive revolution. After the stage of chaos and bubble period, with the intervention of national policies and the implementation of relevant regulation, it will graally take the right track and develop towards health. The development of br/> block chains will inevitably proce bubbles, but these bubbles will graally become controllable with the healthy development of block chains. The development prospects of block chains and the innovations they can bring are unpredictable. In the future, let's leave this stage to it and watch its performance< br/>

the research process of instry technology is constantly advancing
in recent years, the research process of global blockchain technology has accelerated, and the number of instry patent applications has increased rapidly. According to sopat statistics, from 2014 to 2018, the number of global blockchain patents continued to rise, and by 2018, the number of global blockchain patent applications had reached 2966. Among them, the number of patents in China's blockchain in 2018 accounted for 33.33% of the total number of patents in 2014, and increased to 82.1% in 2018
however, despite the continuous development and innovation of global blockchain technology in recent years, there is no universal evaluation standard and system to specify the technical performance, efficiency, scalability, security and other issues of blockchain. On the whole, blockchain technology needs further breakthrough
China's blockchain technology tends to serve applications
in terms of technology, the core of China's blockchain technology is to serve physical applications, while the US blockchain technology is still solving the potential problems of blockchain, which leads to the domestic focus on alliance chain applications, We hope to optimize the blockchain technology to meet the requirements of high concurrency applications; Foreign countries focus on the application of public chain, and carry out the optimization and innovation of core technology according to the characteristics of public chain. In terms of application, domestic blockchain focuses on the application of service instry and tends to be "non currency blockchain"; Most of the U.S. is a public chain, which tends to the circulation of digital assets
In 2014, Barry Silbert, founder of secondmarket, separated the bitcoin investment fund from the original company and established grayscale investments
