The crowd of blockchain in banks
As a traditional financial institution, banks are the most active Pathfinder in the field of blockchain. In recent years, many banks at home and abroad have applied blockchain technology to credit, clearing and other fields. The unique trust mechanism of blockchain is regarded by banks as a key technological breakthrough in innovating risk management and simplifying transaction process. However, as an emerging technology, blockchain ecology is still in the process of establishment, and its application is very limited. Many problems still need to be solved graally in the development
"at present, blockchain can't run high-frequency and concurrent transactions, and network speed and computing power can't support it. For example, in the field of payment, if it is online shopping, it can be realized; If it's high-frequency futures trading, it can't be done. " Huang Zhen said
JIANG Peng said that at the beginning of designing the blockchain system, China CITIC Bank carefully demonstrated the business links suitable for the use of blockchain
"from the global experience, it is not suitable to use blockchain to build a large and complex system. Instead of trying to solve all problems with blockchain, we should focus on solving the core problems. It's time-consuming to build a too complex system. The technology is developing so fast that before the old system is finished, it will face the iteration of new technology. " Jiang Peng said
the idea of "only solving core problems" ensures that after the blockchain goes online, the relevant business operations of branches of China CITIC Bank can be upgraded without process transformation
Fan Bin said frankly that it will take time for banks to fully apply the blockchain, and IBM's investment in the blockchain open source community will continue, on the one hand to cultivate the market, on the other hand to compete for the commanding height of the blockchain platform. With the rapid iteration of blockchain technology itself, there is still a lot of imagination for financial institutions to use this new technologythe content comes from Xinhuanet
The biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which will rece a lot of costs for the banking instry
First of all, decentralization means that the trust building mechanism between banking systems no longer needs intermediary, which saves the cost of intermediary Secondly, the development of digital currency will realize the real-time digital transaction of banks. For example, in bill transaction, bank's bill transaction always relies on the third party to realize the transfer of valuable documents. Even for electronic bill transaction, it also needs the information of central bank's ECDs system for mutual authentication. The blockchain technology can realize the point-to-point value transmission, which no longer needs centralized system control. This not only speeds up the bill transmission speed, but also reces the mistakes caused by human factors. The rection of process will naturally rece the demand of the bank for personnel and save the labor cost of the bankfinally, it will also have an impact on clearing and settlement. The bank's clearing and settlement business has always been completed by the central settlement, with low efficiency. Settlement through blockchain technology will greatly improve the efficiency of banks
blockchain technology also plays an important role in the cross-border payment business of banks. Today, with the highly developed global trade, cross-border payment is becoming more and more frequent. Banks often act as third-party services in cross-border trade, such as electronic transfer, asset custody and so on. However, cross-border payment generally takes about two days to get to the account, which is inefficient and reces the utilization rate of funds in transit. In the blockchain technology, both sides of cross-border payment can complete through the point-to-point way, realize all-weather payment and real-time arrival, thus speeding up the speed of clearing and settlement, and improving the efficiency of bank business processing
another feature of blockchain technology is de risking. Banks can establish their own blockchain, which can ensure that the transaction information and transaction records of bank customers are true and effective, and will not be tampered with arbitrarily. Banks can effectively identify customers' information, understand all aspects of customers' situation, identify abnormal transactions of customers, and prevent being cheated by customers, So as to rece the cost of bank supervision
the first role is gateway, which can be bank, market maker, liquidity provider, etc. The main function of the gateway is to let the legal assets in reality enter the blockchain payment and settlement network
the second role is customers, which can be all kinds of international trade customers. Customers are the parties involved in the blockchain payment transaction, and jointly participate in the confirmation of transaction information. In the process of transaction, once either party does not confirm the transaction, the transaction cannot be formally effective. Through this common verification, the risk of information opacity is greatly avoided, and the risk of cross-border payment in international trade is reced
the four functional moles in blockchain payment and settlement are the core business logic moles in cross-border payment
the first function mole is network connector. It is a tool to help all kinds of institutions access blockchain payment network as gateway. Network connector is a "plug and play" function mole, which can be integrated with the existing international payment and settlement system, so that banks can process cross-border payment business through blockchain. The mole is connected with the remitting bank and the receiving bank to exchange personal information, expenses, delivery details, payment details, etc. After the system confirms the transaction information of both parties, the mole connects the blockchain payment ledger for settlement processing, and notifies all parties to confirm the transaction
the second function mole is blockchain payment ledger. Banks, market makers, etc. access blockchain payment books as nodes
the third function mole is the market maker client. The market maker submits digital assets to the blockchain payment account book, and the settlement platform can realize the function of market maker through internal exchange settlement or integration into the blockchain payment network through this mole
the fourth function mole is transaction client. Customers can directly operate blockchain payment settlement through the client.
in recent years, the investment field has been paying more attention to blockchain. Since the beginning of bitcoin, blockchain technology has been explored in many application fields. Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange, Citibank and other overseas financial institutions are also trying to carry out business innovation of blockchain finance, and the development of blockchain technology is also a major focus in China., For reference only!
let's see what others say.
from the perspective of blockchain technology development, it can be divided into three stages: the first stage is the application of digital currency such as encrypted currency, transfer, remittance and digital payment system; The second stage is the application of encrypted stocks, bonds, futures, loans, smart assets and smart contracts; The third stage will be applied in government, health, science, culture and art. At present, the application of blockchain technology is only in the process from the first stage to the second stage< At present, blockchain banking business includes: 1. P2P cross-border payment and remittance of point-to-point transactions, trade settlement, and trading of securities, futures and financial derivatives contracts. 2. Registration. Blockchain has a reliable database to record all kinds of information, and has the characteristics of credibility and traceability for the stored anti money laundering customer identity data and transaction records. 3. Right confirmation. For example, the proceres such as the right identification of the transferred items registered in the equity law system can be realized through the blockchain technology. 4. Intelligent management. Because the "smart contract" has the automatic detection validity and meets the program conditions, the contract will automatically process the interest payment and dividend, avoiding the risk of credit default caused by human intervention
R3 in foreign countries is a blockchain alliance, which can be regarded as an institution to formulate unified standards. Ethereum and distributed content publishing platform decent are projects based on blockchain technology.
