What can blockchain technology do
A: application fields of blockchain technology
I. financial field
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics
through the blockchain, we can rece the logistics cost, trace the proction and transportation process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, 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 In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios
A: the main application fields of blockchain technology are finance, Internet of things and logistics, public service, digital right, insurance and public welfare
First, in the field of finance,
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain 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
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, 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 In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain 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
to apply blockchain, we must first understand the characteristics of blockchain: decentralization, openness, autonomy, non tampering information and anonymity
it is of great benefit to the following instries:
1. Art investment
using blockchain technology, we can track the source of art. Because every transaction has a digital certificate, and is unique, avoid black market transactions
2. Literary works
because blockchain is traceable, it can avoid the occurrence of piracy. Once a work is created, later people can it, and you can find it immediately
3. Finance
some financial payment and clearing systems are imperfect, especially cross-border payment. Blockchain is not only an information registration system, but also a payment system. Therefore, the account book can not be modified and open, so that it can serve the financial market;
Four applications of blockchain
applications of financial instry
it can be said that blockchain technology is very suitable for the financial instry, just like our common international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration and stock exchange, blockchain technology can make great value, especially in transaction payment, Blockchain technology can achieve fast payment directly over the third party, which can greatly rece the cost
Internet of things instry
the application of blockchain technology in the Internet of things instry is also one of the fields with very good prospects, which is very simple for the logistics instry. Through blockchain technology, we can monitor and query the status of procts and goods in real time at any time, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
the field of public service
we have to say that the field of public service is closely related to people's life, but because it involves a wide range and many other reasons, it also brings a lot of problems, so in the problem of centralization, we can use blockchain technology to achieve the desired effect
in the field of digital right
for various reasons, there are not a few cases of infringement in our society. Through the blockchain technology, we can timely own our works, upload corresponding proof materials to ensure the authenticity of our rights and interests, and confirm that our works can have corresponding records in all subsequent places
what is a blockchain? How does it work
bitcoin has become the trend of modern Internet, followed by blockchain. It is said that blockchain technology will lead to fundamental changes in Internet operation, enterprise operation and everything else
but what is blockchain? Most of us don't know much about blockchain. If you want to understand blockchain, you can read this article carefully
what is a blockchain? In the simplest terms, blockchain is a distributed ledger
to understand what this means, let's first look at its opposite: a centralized ledger. Because blockchain technology starts from finance, we will also use the bank as an example
the following is the process of our bank debit card transaction:
you can buy goods by swiping your card in the store
the merchant sends the bill to your bank to get the agreed amount
your bank will verify whether you are likely to authorize the purchase
banks remit money to businesses
finally, the bank records this information in its ledger
there are a lot of technologies involved here, but basically that's it. The last step is important - the bank keeps track of all transactions made by the customer. This ledger goes all the way back to the first transaction the bank made
the ledger is kept, maintained and supervised by the bank. You can read it in your online bank account, but you can't change it. The bank is in full control. If it decides to make a change, there's nothing you can do
it is crucial that if hackers can access the bank's ledger, it may lead to many problems. They can change the account balance to make it look like some transaction never happened, and so on
that's why distributed ledger is so cool
blockchain network visualization
if the bank operates on a distributed ledger, each member of the bank will have a of the ledger. Whenever any member of the bank makes a purchase, they will tell all other members of the bank
each member validates the transaction and adds it to the ledger (the added record is called a "block"). This has some important benefits because there are no centralized permissions to manipulate records. Hacker access to one ledger won't be a big problem because other ledgers can easily verify it
on the other hand, it requires a lot of work. In short, the second system is blockchain (at least in the financial scenario)
as mentioned above, blockchain is a decentralized transaction list. If I send Xiaoming two bitcoins, I will send a message to everyone in the network, saying "I am sending Xiaoming two bitcoins", and they will record the transaction<
bitcoin and blockchain
let's take bitcoin as an example to illustrate
bitcoin transaction
but the transaction must be verified. This is where blockchain technology has become a bit more complex. Each bitcoin wallet (which we will complete in one second) has a public and private key
you use your private key to send transaction requests to other members of the network and confirm that you have cryptocurrency in your account. If they do, they allow transactions to register on the ledger
the mechanism of public / private key system is very complex, but it comes down to that every transaction is verifiable and secure< However, the computing cost of the whole system is very high. Everyone who updates the ledger needs a lot of authority to validate transactions and modify the ledger. This is where mining comes in. People who verify and modify use their own computing resources, and each time they get a small transaction fee
and they're using a lot of electricity to do it
in this way, each transaction will be verified and added to the ledger, and the person who performs the verification and modification will be paid. This is a reasonable system
at the same time, it is also very safe. To change a single block, you have to change each subsequent block. After all this is done, validation will fail because other copies of the chain will show someone tampered with one
how to define blockchain is a difficult problem
although the mechanism behind blockchain technology is not always intuitive, it seems that it is not too difficult to explain what blockchain is. But what we're describing here is the traditional definition
we can use this special type of blockchain for a wide range of applications;, Such as cryptocurrency, sharing medical information, sending security messages and so on. But more blockchain like technologies are being developed for other uses
for example, companies may use internal blockchains to manage problem tracking in software. Each block in the chain may represent a problem, and users can publish updates to the network. But is this a blockchain? In this case, the ledger is not public, it is only visible within the company
some people will say that this is not a blockchain
other blockchain like technologies are not encrypted. Are they still blockchain? What if it's centrally managed but uses other blockchain features? What defines the lowest level of blockchain technology? There is no consensus on these issues
what is a blockchain wallet
we usually hear people talk about bitcoin wallets, Ethernet wallets and other cryptocurrency specific wallets. But wallet technology can be used in any system that uses blockchain
a wallet is the software or hardware that "saves" your cryptocurrency. But it doesn't really have anything, it's just a place to store public and private keys. This information allows you to access the currency shown in the public ledger
the wallet is the only record of the key. So if you lose it, you will no longer be able to access your cryptocurrency
in the future of blockchain, how will it change our lives
one important thing about blockchain is that it is a public resource and no one really owns it because everyone owns it
blockchain is more than science fiction. We don't need to understand the mechanism behind this technology, but you need to understand that it may completely change our lives in the next 20 years
that sounds bold, but remember, 20 years ago, we were browsing the Internet on Netscape, using the most advanced Motorola flip phone, and buying our first DVD player. At that time, if we imagined that the computer could be held in our hands, and that we could buy a car, pay for money and watch movies on it, it would be considered a fantasy
although the impact of blockchain may not be as obvious as the Internet or as tangible as mobile phones, blockchain will effectively solve many troubles in daily life. For example, intermediary entrapment, transaction delay and so on. In our present life, middlemen can be seen everywhere. We take it for granted that they are a part of our life. If one day, these intermediaries no longer exist, you will find that the world will become a different one
imagine that by 2040, blockchain may become a mature and widely used technology. One day, you can't do without blockchain, just as you can't do without the Internet now, you will be surprised that this decentralized accounting technology has become a part of your lifestyle<
first praise
+ 1
because the library led by Facebook this time is mainly a virtual currency for mobile payment. Therefore, it is also considered as a challenge to the traditional financial instry in the United States . Because we know that the traditional financial instry in the United States uses credit cards for payment, but the virtual currency launched by Facebook is likely to have the most severe impact on the credit card system of the traditional financial instry in the United States. So it is also possible to break the monopoly on the U.S. financial instry. So this is good news for the whole society and the whole world
But we all know that as an American company, Facebook will first consider the interests of Americans, not the interests of the whole world. Therefore, it is impossible for the United Nations to make a very favorable decision at present"FB (corruption)" is a common term on the Internet. They call themselves "FB" elements, and some even give their organizations a fashionable name
"FB" activities are not limited to playing with cars. Its contents include model air show, karaoke, photography competition, swimming, rock climbing, playing ball, skiing and so on. Some "FB" organizations will also carry out some exchange activities. For example, a certain "FB" organization in Chongqing and a certain "FB" organization in Cheng formed a "Cheng Chongqing joint" FB "team and went to a" Western Grand Canyon hot spring "dozens of kilometers away from Yibin City to have a unique outdoor activity. They took a lot of photos and put them on the Internet for netizens to read. They not only publicized the interest of "FB", but also showed the image of the two organizations, which left a deep impression on each other
they call themselves "corrupt elements", but they are not corrupt at all. They all play with their own cars and spend their own money. Compared with those real corrupt elements who drive on the bus and can pay for everything, they have a very different realm.
based on this, blockchain technology is considered to be the core technology with the most potential to trigger the fifth round of disruptive revolution after steam engine, power, information and Internet technology.
blockchain technology is a technology of deeply encrypting and solidifying electronic data, which can not be tampered with or lost. In addition to the platform's own data center, the judicial authentication center and notary office are connected at the same time, enhancing the credibility of electronic data and data protection
security network is a one-stop blockchain data security platform. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the underlying architecture of blockchain in privacy protection, anti tampering and anti attack, the security network realizes the restoration of the authenticity, uniqueness and integrity of electronic data in technology for the first time. Through the in-depth cooperation with the judicial authentication center and the notary office, the preservation network has made the blockchain data preservation technology obtain the recognition of judicial practice for the first time, and opened up the channel between technology and practice.
