A few words about blockchain
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 large4. 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
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

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
blockchain is used to record public data together, or more narrowly, to keep accounts
for example, you recorded that Zhang San owes you 10000 yuan in your computer, and Zhang San said that you still owe me 1 million yuan in my computer. So what
it used to be solved like this: find a notary, and your accounts will be recorded in the notary. In case of any dispute, the notary's account book shall prevail. For example, this is what banks do. Both of your money is deposited with him. There are records of transfers and loans
blockchain solves this problem: when you keep an account in your own computer, Zhang San also records the same data in his own computer. After recording, you two check with each other and agree. This account is officially recorded. There is no need for the participation of a third party or the so-called "authority" or "certification body"
the way that everyone keeps accounts together is also known as "distributed" or "decentralized", because everyone keeps accounts, and the accuracy of the account book is determined by the program algorithm, not an authoritative organization
extended data:
blockchain is characterized by abnormal security, non tampering, accessibility and no third party
its application scenarios include, but are not limited to, no need to prove that "my mother is my mother" in the future. The tamper proof feature of blockchain technology has fundamentally changed this situation. Our birth certificate, real estate certificate and marriage certificate can be notarized on the blockchain, becoming something trusted by the whole world. Of course, it can also easily prove that "my mother is my mother"
for another example, we often use Ctrip, meituan and other apps to find and place orders for hotels and other services, and each platform gets a commission from them. The application of blockchain is to remove middlemen and create a secure and decentralized way for service providers and customers, so as to achieve the purpose of direct connection and transaction
