In popular terms, blockchain

1.

1、 blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies

blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a disintermediated database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block

2. Application

1. Art instry

ascribe enables artists to declare ownership by using blockchain technology, issue numbered and limited edition works, and target at any type of digital form of art. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services

In recent years, bitproof is the most advanced application in many document time stamp applications, which will make the traditional notarization method become the past. Bitproof offers more services than free versions including blocksgin and originstaemp, including one for intellectual property. Interestingly, bitproof recently cooperated with an it school in San Francisco to put their students' academic certificates on the blockchain, completely redefining how to handle and use diplomas and student certificates

Development instry colu is the first enterprise to allow other enterprises to issue digital assets. They can "token" all kinds of assets to impress many people. Although the free bitcoin wallet couperparty also allows simple tokens to be issued and traded among other wallet holders, the tokens of colu can be set with various states and types, can be detached from or returned to the system, and can be stored on BitTorrent's network when the data stored on the blockchain is too large

4. Real estate instry

they plan to make the whole instry chain process more modern and solve various problems faced by everyone when participating in real estate, including naming process, land registration, agency, etc

5, Internet of things

a possible application scenario is: generate corresponding behavior through transaction, assign address to each device, inject a certain fee into the address, and perform relevant actions, so as to achieve the application of Internet of things. Similar to: PM2.5 monitoring point data acquisition, server leasing, webcam data call, DNS server, etc

6. Insurance instry in the past two years, the hottest topic in the field of science and technology can not be separated from blockchain technology. This underlying technology, born out of bitcoin, has proved its highly secure and reliable architecture and algorithm design with more than seven years of stable operation. At the same time, with innovative technologies such as distributed ledger and smart contract, it has opened up a huge imagination space for instrial upgrading of many instries. Some instry experts even predict that blockchain technology will set off the second Internet revolution

extended materials:

in 2008, Nakamoto proposed the concept of "blockchain" in the white paper on bitcoin, and established bitcoin network in 2009, developing the first block, namely "Genesis block"

the shared value system of blockchain was first imitated by many cryptocurrencies, and improved in workload proof and algorithm, such as equity proof and scrypt algorithm. Subsequently, the blockchain ecosystem has been evolving all over the world, with the emergence of ICO for the first token sale, Ethereum for smart contract blockchain, "asset token sharing economy with light ownership and heavy right to use" and blockchain countries

at present, people are using this shared value system to develop decentralized applications (DAPP) in all walks of life, and build decentralized autonomous organizations and decentralized autonomous communities (DAS) around the world

2.

blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger database . The advantage of this distributed ledger is that buyers and sellers can trade directly without any intermediary. Everyone has a backup, even if you lose this, it will not be affected

{rrrrrrr}

extended data:

blockchain application field

1, financial field

blockchain has potential huge 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

2. The 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

3. The data stored on the public welfare field

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

4. 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

3. They are both encrypted virtual digital currencies. The difference is that bitcoin was born early, has a large audience, and is highly accepted (Dell and Microsoft both accept bitcoin payment). Bitcoin is the representative and originator of cryptocurrency, and has a high market value. Bitcoin is also a small-scale social experience. Ethereum is the second generation of digital currency, and IOT is the follow-up currency, It is also developed based on the smart contract of Ethereum. Last time I saw their founder Zhang Feng's roadshow, it was good

4. Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The embodiment of this technology is actually around us. For example, when we shop in the
supermarket, there are two-dimensional codes on the agricultural procts. Customers can scan the two-dimensional code with their mobile phones to know the whole proction process of the procts. This kind of technology like wangchain technology has been very mature and widely used.
