What applications are people doing with blockchain
I have seen your question. In which aspects can blockchain be applied? Below by the small series to answer for you

bitcoin is the first specific application of blockchain. It was proposed in a paper by one person or a group of people in 2008. Bitcoin uses blockchain to send digital messages to bitcoin, and the name of bitcoin is bitcoin, without the intervention of a third party middleman
However, bitcoin is not the only application of blockchain, as follows:
1. Financial field: the application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can eliminate the third-party intermediary link, realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment
2. 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
3. Public service: blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in public management, energy, transportation and other fields, but the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain
4. 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
5. In the field 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
6. Public welfare field: the data stored on the 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
the above is for your reference only, hope you can adopt it, thank you
Ten instry application scenarios of blockchain are listed on Oracle's website, including finance, proction, ecation, media, entertainment, government, retail business, health, medical care, supply chain, insurance and public utilities. Is it very tall? But what I want to say is that these application scenarios, in front of real high-energy blockchain applications, can only hide in the corner and shiver
now the real high-energy application scenario of blockchain is Ponzi application, commonly known as "Ponzi scheme". It is a smart contract type Qianbao, a blockchain game for rolling in and out of money, an ICO for trading, and a global pension platform P>
Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest application scenarios of our human beings. After Internet plus, the Ponzi scheme has upgraded the Internet + "Internet plus Ponzi scheme". The Internet enabled the Ponzi scheme, so there was an event similar to the 10 billion level of Qianbao. Before the Internet era, there were few Ponzi schemes on such a large scale. They were enabled through the Internet, and paid through mobile app. Finally, they rolled for several years and reached the 10 billion level
the Internet has broken the geographical restrictions, physical restrictions, capital flow restrictions and communication restrictions. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can play Qianbao app. Everyone participates in it, everyone gets into the money, and everyone gives out the money. According to the data of the people involved, it has reached the level of one million. Relatively speaking, the online pyramid scheme (Ponzi scheme 1.0), which still stays on the top of the list, has meetings every day, can't stop brainwashing, and uses violence and illegal means. It's simple and weak. With the rise of blockchain technology, the Ponzi scheme enabled by "blockchain +" can no longer be described as adding wings like a tiger. It is like a chicken changing into a tiger. Like the Internet, the "block chaining +" technology is a solid application to enhance the application scenario. Ponzi's fraud is further upgraded in the two generation of the Internet plus, because of the major improvement and improvement of the scene, turning into Ponzi scheme 3, whose characteristics are mainly in the following aspects:
1, centralization and no summit. The smart contract of blockchain runs automatically, and it does not need human intervention, nor can it be interrupted by human. Code rules are dead and cannot be tampered with. In terms of scene improvement, it solves the biggest pain point of Ponzi scheme for thousands of years, that is, the problem of head running away. Because the head is a program and code, the program of blockchain can exist forever, and no one can delete it. I think this is the biggest breakthrough. This virtual leader is always there. He can't run away, he can't run, he can't change. The rules will never change. He will stick to the Ponzi line for 100 years, 1000 years and 10000 years. It may be said that smart contracts can be iterated, and they can also be manipulated to leave a back door. Yes, but it can be done without iteration. Even if iteration is transparent and visible, it can be seen at a glance with a back door. This is the characteristic of the blockchain smart contract. If you cheat on it, you will get out a under the teacher's eyes. No one will participate in such a smart contract when it is online. Therefore, after technical review and verification, there is no backdoor, fair rules and irreversible smart contract, which can be realized by using blockchain technology. Such reliability, once verified, will never change. This is the certainty of the smart contract. A program or a character's code will not change. It will run one million times and one trillion times, and the result will be consistent and certain
2. The process was transparent. The number, address, account number, amount and time of deposit; Number, address, account number, amount and time of payment; All visible. Blockchain has a public ledger function, which can be viewed by everyone in the world, and the ledger data viewed by everyone is completely consistent. Why does Qianbao burst? Because we can't see his background account, how much money he goes in and how much money he comes out every day, and the details of each transaction. In this way, you can see the assessment of cashing ability before you pay in, and the assessment result is absolutely certain, that is, it will not change after you pay in
3. Complete anonymization. If you've ever heard of zero proof of knowledge. This part can be skipped. In short, some of the things we used to have in the mathematical knowledge base did not have application scenarios after many inventions. Later, it was found that it was easy to use these knowledge for anonymization. The cryptography technology in the blockchain can achieve identity hiding. As we all know, Zhihu can't achieve anonymity in a real sense in terms of technical structure, and blockchain can
The rules are open and fair to all. One yuan in gold, ten yuan in rebate. Everyone is the same rule. It will never change. If you pay one yuan, go to the front and pay for it, then the back will pay for it, and then pay for it. Fair, right? I have reflected on this many times, and I think it is fair5. Sustainable iteration. In the low-level Ponzi scheme, the leader, proct designer, benefit distributor and benefit receiver are often four in one, while the blockchain Ponzi scheme can completely logically separate the four roles. Achieve sustainable iteration. Through collaboration based on socialization, these projects can be iterated on forever. There are now 400 senior engineers who are developing around bitcoin and constantly updating the code. These people can not know anyone. As long as the application is valuable, they can continue to iterate. Which centralized project can be achieved? Even bat level companies can't employ so many professionals scattered around the world. This kind of social iteration is not affected by the changes of a specific person or organization
"blockchain" enabled Ponzi scheme uses different range of blockchain technology, because the technology in this field is still constantly updated, and the application of smart contract has only increased in the past two years. The earliest application of blockchain is bitcoin. Some people think that bitcoin itself has the characteristics of Ponzi scheme. In 2013, I wrote a reply and implicitly pointed out that this new type of Ponzi scheme will have great lethality, because it has the characteristics of no head, open account book, no running away, open and fair rules. Later, I also found that many people around me like Ponzi scheme much more than blockchain technology. As soon as I hear that bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, before I start talking about blockchain technology, I usually walk away in silence. On the contrary, you tell him it's a Ponzi scheme, and then they will ask, where can I buy it? Of course, there is a lot of controversy about whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, because the practical application scenarios of bitcoin have been expanding
in the ICO boom, there are a lot of air coins, such as the bogus Ponzi scheme, which has no application scenarios. The buyers probably know that these air coins are Ponzi schemes, but they buy them because the packaging is good. It is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of such air coins. The scope of the case is all over the world, and the amount involved is more than 10 billion. These ICOS use smart contracts for subscription and distribution, and then circulate in the secondary market by themselves. In this case, there is no guarantee that the money will be paid out, and some people will lose all their money. Many people, blockchain professionals, have always wanted to draw a clear line with these applications, because although these air coins use part of the blockchain technology, they are still a centralized organization or indivial behind them. There are few network nodes, and users directly converge to a certain organization or indivial when they are paid (so they will be swept away), but there is no doubt that, Air money still uses blockchain to make money and raise funds, which solves part of the problem of running away and improves the scope and communication ability of Ponzi scheme. This is an objective situation
and from this year, with the development of technology, the Ponzi scheme, which uses smart contracts to achieve more decentralization, began to surface. Smart contract locking is used for fund in and fund out to complete a complete closed loop of fund in, fund subscription and fund out. It can already be a very pure blockchain application. Some blockchain games can freely admit that they are a Ponzi game after their release. He said: you see, the rules are transparent, the code is visible, the gold entry contract is locked, they can't run away, no one intervenes, and the gold is automatically paid. Early play, early gain. This is a key breakthrough. It's a way to publicly admit that you are a Ponzi scheme, which can't be done by Ponzi scheme 1.0 and Ponzi scheme 2.0 before. Great. It's simple and rough
this solves the major obstacles in the promotion process of Ponzi scheme, which used to rely on brainwashing, but now it depends on code. You see, "this program doesn't run on its own. There's no back door in it, right? Is the leader gone? The capture of Nakamoto does not affect the continued implementation of the program, does it Therefore, the first batch of blockchain Ponzi scams are hooked by code farmers who can understand the code, and then these code farmers stand up again and say that after technical verification, it is really such an effect, driving other people who do not read the code to join
in addition to realizing the Ponzi scheme application scenarios of entertainment, gambling and fraud, blockchain also has the opportunity to make a big show in the Ponzi scheme application scenarios involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and public utilities, which can even greatly enhance people's sense of gain and happiness, and actually improve people's life. For example, the application of national or global public pension platform based on blockchain can solve several major drawbacks of pension: fund misappropriation. The account book is open, the funds are not centralized and locked, and no one can unlock it, except the recipients who meet the rules can pay out the money. There is no possibility of misappropriation
2. Inflation. The current pension system adjusts the coefficient every year according to a series of complex algorithms such as inflation. After adjustment, the recipients are often dissatisfied because the total amount has increased, but the purchasing power has decreased. Using the feature that virtual currency can't be issued, we can control the inflation rate and ensure that we get real money3. Unpredictable problems. It is very difficult for us to predict the pension payment after 30 years, and we can predict it in advance through smart contract. Stimulate the enthusiasm of paying
4. Policy loopholes and fairness. There will be unfairness in the diversification of groups that any pension policy faces. Everyone wants to pay less and get more, pay later and raise earlier. The transparency of blockchain is refined to each account, rather than a set of general policies to plug the loopholes in the implementation process. Everyone is the same, pay more, pay earlier, pay earlier. It can even be inherited and never lostthis has greatly reced the burden and cost of the state's pension management. What the existing pension system can do, after using the blockchain technology, can still be done, such as the state subsidies, just pay money into the contract, lock it in, there will be no fake, such as compulsory payment, and every record is real and traceable. In a word, all the existing systems and rules can be linked to the chain. On the basis of not affecting the existing effect, the efficiency and output level are improved, and fairness is guaranteed. Moreover, because the cost of the huge management system is reced, the absolute number that everyone can get may be increased by a large part. This has played a real effect on improving people's lives, and also has a positive effect
(1) The underlying platform of the blockchain is a domestic independent and controllable blockchain platform developed by the science and technology of the blockchain. With the characteristics of high performance, high availability, scalability, easy operation and maintenance, strong privacy protection, and hybrid storage, the platform cooperates with the data sharing and security computing platform bitxmesh, the blockchain open service platform filoop, the supply chain finance platform filolink, and other platforms The deposit service platform filoink and the smart contract security R & D platform meshsec can better support the applications of enterprises, governments, instry alliances and other instries, and promote the efficient circulation of value among multiple institutions
(2) JD chain is the underlying framework of enterprise level blockchain independently developed by JD, and its birth marks that JD has started the construction of "Zhizhen ecology" based on the baas platform of blockchain and the underlying chain of "jdchain". Relying on the "one key deployment" capability of multiple optimization implementation, JD Zhizhen chain service platform has achieved the leading second level blockchain node deployment. In addition, it also has the core advantages of open compatibility with a variety of underlying, enterprise level dynamic networking and other mature applications. The timely launch of JD Zhizhen chain will effectively promote the large-scale implementation of enterprise level blockchain applications in various instries, and promote the construction of China's and global trust economy
(3) thunderchain is a blockchain application project independently researched and developed by netxin technology under thunderchain, which has high concurrency and second level confirmation capability of millions of TPS. Based on the research and development of high-performance blockchain procts, Xunlei has built an open platform of Xunlei chain, which helps enterprises or indivial developers to deploy smart contracts, easily realize the proct and service on the chain, and make the application development of blockchain more convenient
(4) Jingtong blockchain
Jingtong blockchain is the core underlying technology of Jingtong technology's blockchain with independent intellectual property rights. It is an effective decentralized Internet trading network based on blockchain technology, which adopts layered design (5 layers) underlying platform and multi language intelligent contract system, and has realized cross chain function. It has multi-level, all-round and one-stop service capabilities such as private chain, cloud chain and alliance chain. The layout of instry and regional ecology has taken shape
in addition to the above blockchain procts, there are community led LTC, cosmos, iota, Neuros, nuls, MOAC, etc., and enterprise led ripple, stellar, Weizhong bcos, network xuperchain, Huawei, Ping'an, Wanxiang, ant financial services, Zhongan, Bubi, matrix element, secret ape, zhongxiangbit, complex beauty, Shanghai Lianjing, etc
extended data:
blockchain is far more than a technology, which involves the spirit of "multi-party cooperation". In modern society, a lot of things must rely on everyone's cooperation to achieve 1 + 1 & gt; But we should try our best to avoid the problem of "information asymmetry" in cooperation
therefore, members of the alliance should keep accounts and share data together, and make everything public to eliminate "information asymmetry", so as to protect everyone's interests and make the business environment develop healthily. Honest work will get e benefits, if cheating will naturally be known to all. Technology is the foundation to help achieve this pattern. This is the more important "blockchain thinking"
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

1. Financial field. Blockchain has great potential 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. 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. Public service. Blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in public management, energy, transportation and other fields, but the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain. The decentralized and fully distributed DNS service provided by the blockchain can realize domain name query and resolution through the point-to-point data transmission service between nodes in the network. It can be used to ensure that the operating system and firmware of an important infrastructure have not been tampered with. It can monitor the status and integrity of the software and detect bad tampering, And ensure that the data transmitted by the system using the Internet of things technology has not been tampered with< 4. Digital rights. 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. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection. For example, mine labs, a start-up company in New York, developed a metadata protocol based on blockchain. This system called mediachain uses IPFs file system to realize right protection of digital works, mainly for right protection applications of digital pictures
5. 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. A typical application case is lenderbot, which was launched by the blockchain enterprise stratumdeloitte and payment service provider lemonway in 2016. It allows people to register customized micro insurance procts through the chat function of Facebook messenger to insure the high value items exchanged between indivials, and the blockchain replaces the third party role in the loan contract< 6. Public welfare. The data stored on the 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.
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<
