Limited scalability of blockchain
-- for the above data sources and analysis, please refer to analysis report on market outlook and investment strategic planning of China's blockchain instry of foresight Instry Research Institute
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
Recently, many friends have come to ask questions about blockchain, such as the specific advantages of blockchain, why to invest in blockchain, and what benefits can it bring? Can't you invest in real estate and wait for the appreciation; Can't you invest in a mature market like stocks and bonds? Why invest in the emerging blockchain? Does blockchain have any investment value? And so on a series of questions, I have made the following summary, basically summarized the answers to most of the related questions:
it can be summarized in the following four aspects:
1. Blockchain has a good market prospect; 2; As an emerging technology, blockchain is recognized by many professionals including investors. It is estimated that the market value of blockchain will be about US $60 billion in 2020 and US $20 million in the global market in 2024. The considerable market prospect of blockchain is obvious
2. The cost of block chain is less; Compared with the centralized mode of relying on third-party intermediaries such as credit card payment and stock trading, the decentralized distributed structure of blockchain saves investors high handling fees and transaction costs, saves investment costs and improves transaction processing efficiency
3. Block chain is more secure and stable; The traditional centralized mode often faces serious credit crisis, but because each transaction in the blockchain is tracked and permanently recorded by the distributed public account book, the phenomenon of forgery is greatly reced, and the losses caused by the credit problems of the third party are avoided, providing security for investors' transactions
4. The programming attribute of block chain is more standard; Traditional market investors often affect their earnings because of the confusion of market levels, and the programmability of blockchain makes the market level clear, which is an innovative technology that can change people's lives
I hope it can help you to solve related problems. Please feel free to ask or discuss more details or any questions
Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. In essence, it is a decentralized database, as well as the underlying technology of bitcoin< br />
Because the blockchain technology is not mature at this stage, and the infrastructure is not perfect, many applications are limited, and the overall application is still in a very early stage
First of all, the main function of blockchain is to store information. Any information that needs to be saved can be written to or read from the blockchain, so it is a database. Secondly, anyone can set up a server and join the blockchain network to become a node. In the world of blockchain, there is no central node (decentralization). Every node is equal and keeps the whole database. You can write / read data to any node, because all nodes will be synchronized in the end to ensure the consistency of the blockchainutility token is a utility token that acts as a right to use a specific service
examples of terminology usage
utility tokens are premised on the use of services
detailed description
you can settle the price of goods and meals instead of cash, and you can access it by having cloud storage. For utility tokens, there is no need to audit the classification of the report
public chain is a highly "public" blockchain, anyone can freely participate in the network
example of terminology usage
as an infrastructure project for mediating data exchange between blockchains, a mechanism for data exchange on public blockchains will be established
detailed description
in the blockchain used to record the transaction information of encrypted assets (virtual currency), this is a mechanism used by an unspecified number of participants to establish transaction information by consensus without a specific management entity. It is very safe to prevent forgery of transaction information, but it requires a lot of calculation, so its disadvantage is that it takes a long time to complete the transaction when there are many participants
7. Scalabilityscalability refers to the scalability of delayed transaction processing
examples of terminology usage
soaring gasoline prices highlight Ethereum's scalability issues
detailed description
e to the nature of blockchain and the limited amount of transaction data that can be written in a block, the processing is delayed. Remittances can take a long time, which can lead to higher transaction costs. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency born, which has been considered as a special problem, but efforts to solve this problem have been implemented, such as using other technologies such as lightning network and developing new blockchain
8. Gas costgas cost is the (Network) transaction cost on Ethereum blockchain
examples of terminology usage
this week, on the Ethereum blockchain, although there are a small amount of remittances, there are still many cases of high natural gas bills being paid
detailed description
the gas fee of user specified amount is the secondary reward. Eth, the virtual currency, is used for payment. Since the transaction with higher cost should be dealt with first, the gas cost may increase with the increase of transaction number
9. Liquidity mining (liquidity mining)considering the provision of liquidity (currency pair), liquidity mining is to grant governance token in addition to interest, so as to attract those who implement the rate of return balance
examples of terminology usage
detailed description
in liquidity mining, by storing specific assets in the liquidity pool and providing liquidity that traders can buy and sell, the swap fee at that time can be obtained as income. These liquidity mining originated from the largest decentralized exchange "uniswap", and many liquidity mining contracts were born, such as curve finance and balancer
10. Defi (distributed Finance)defi (decentralized Finance) refers to the financial services or systems that use blockchain and provide without a central administrator
examples of terminology usage
since June 2020, the market of defi has developed rapidly
specify the abbreviation of "decentralized finance". The financial services offered by defi include the issuance of stable coins, lending currency and cryptocurrency exchanges. Many platforms use Ethereum blockchain
11. POS (proof of equity)POS is a consensus algorithm, which allows you to approve and generate new block rights according to the percentage (equity) of your own virtual currency
According to vitalik buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, migrating eth's consensus algorithm from POW to POS will improve security and scalabilityspecify the abbreviation of
proof of interest. We can also consider the holding period of virtual currency. It was born as an alternative to the "proof of work (POW)" consensus algorithm, which requires high-performance computers to approve transactions and consumes a lot of energy. If approved, you can receive a new virtual currency as a reward
12. DappsDAPP is an application developed with open source blockchain
examples of terminology usage
Galaxy store, the largest Samsung Electronics app store in South Korea, has started to use Tron's blockchain to process dapps
detailed description
the abbreviation of "distributed application" is called "distributed application" in Japanese. One of the main features is that there is no centralized administrator. The most popular is Ethereum blockchain, which is developing applications such as games and decentralized exchange (DEX)
