Small knowledge of blockchain
blockchain is a kind of technology, which solves the core "trust" problem in the market economy and reces the trust cost between strangers to a very low level
there is one crucial thing in the market economy, which is "trust". Without trust, no deal can be established. When you go to LAICHANG to buy vegetables, if you don't believe that the pesticide content in vegetable is up to the standard, you won't trade with that dealer; If you buy a bottle of water in a small shop, the clerk will not sell you the water if he doesn't believe that the money you give is real
the traditional small-scale peasant economy is acquaintance economy, and the transaction scale is limited to people who are familiar with each other nearby. If an acquaintance deceives you, he will lose your social relationship and damage his reputation in the whole circle of acquaintances. We believe that acquaintances are less likely to cheat us than strangers
therefore, once we are beyond the scope of acquaintances, we need to use a high cost to identify whether a stranger will cheat me and how to avoid the risk of being cheated. This situation will hinder the transaction and restrict the transaction
in addition, different races, nationalities, cultures, religious beliefs and so on will naturally have this kind of trust problem
in the market economy, why can there be so many transactions between strangers? Because of the birth of a new mechanism to solve the problem of trust in strangers
so far, the most important mechanism to solve the trust problem is the "trust intermediary" organization and mode
as long as you and strangers trust a third-party organization, the trust problem between you can be solved through this third-party organization
this third-party organization, we call it trust intermediary. Both the government and the bank are trust intermediaries
you can sell the goods you have worked hard to proce to a stranger in exchange for a stack of RMB banknotes. It's because the credit of the note issuing bank and the guarantee of the authority of the government guarantee the currency value and effectiveness of the banknotes. Otherwise, sell things, in exchange for a few ordinary paper, who would like to
in the era of global village and Internet, the people who buy your things may be strangers who will not meet and thousands of miles away. Trust is lower, so Alipay assumes the role of trust intermediation. Buyers first pay the goods to Alipay's account. When they receive the goods, they confirm that they are OK, then they agree to sell the goods to the seller. Taobao and other e-commerce have been booming rapidly in just over ten years
trust intermediary is in a central position in the transaction system. All transactions should solve the trust problem through it
However, the cost of trust intermediary itself is often hugeas a trust intermediary, how much transaction tax does the government charge each year? What is the most profitable instry? Financial services. The annual profits of Alipay's ant suit are over ten billion. p> What does this mean? Both sides of the market actually pay a huge trust cost
if there is any way to cancel or greatly rece the trust cost, the transaction cost of the general public can be reced, and the profits can be greatly increased
so in the Internet era, blockchain technology is on the stage
it allows the trading party to get rid of the intermediary, solve the problem of trust among strangers, and greatly rece the cost of trust
the blockchain can be expanded on a large scale, the data is open and transparent, the data of each client is consistent, and even if some clients are destroyed, the data security will not be affected. These highly reliable technical features can solve the trust problem of strangers with low cost
this technology can be extended to all fields that can be digitized, such as digital currency, payment and clearing, digital bills, proof of rights and interests, credit reference, government services, medical records, etc
in the medium and long term, blockchain will be a revolutionary technology, which will bring about great social changes like the existing Internet, and has great investment value and money making opportunities
in the future, the companies that can combine blockchain with different scenarios to promote applications may be the next group of bat, the next Google, Microsoft and apple
as the first practical application of blockchain technology, bitcoin has been widely accepted and used all over the world. Millions of users and tens of thousands of merchants have accepted the payment of bitcoin as a digital currency, and the exchange value of bitcoin as a currency is growing. Even e to the consensus that the total amount is fixed and the long-term value is bullish, bitcoin has become a hedge asset similar to gold, and the price has skyrocketed
Blockchain is a term in the field of information technology. In essence, it is a shared database. The data or information stored in it is characterized by "unforgeability", "trace in the whole process", "traceability", "openness and transparency" and "collective maintenance". Based on these characteristics, blockchain technology has laid a solid "trust" foundation, created a reliable "cooperation" mechanism, and has broad application prospects
on January 10, 2019, the state Internet Information Office issued the regulations on the management of blockchain information services. In October 24, 2019, ring the eighteenth collective learning of the Central Political Bureau, general secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "block chain as an important breakthrough in core technology and independent innovation", "accelerating the development of block chain technology and instrial innovation". "Blockchain" has entered the public field of vision and become the focus of social attention
on December 2, 2019, the word was selected into the top ten catchwords of "biting words" in 2019
extended data:
Application of blockchain Finance:
since 2016, the major financial giants have also carried out blockchain innovation projects to explore the possibility of applying blockchain Technology in various financial scenarios. In particular, Puyin group took the lead in creating a "blockchain +" standard digital currency
standard digital currency refers to the process of assets identification, evaluation, right confirmation and insurance completed by a third party organization, which is written into the blockchain through careful digital algorithm to form the standard corresponding relationship between assets and digital currency, which is called standard digital currency
in order to realize the great leap forward development of blockchain finance, promote the new development of China's economy, accelerate the circulation of global assets, and realize the dream of rejuvenation that has been struggling for generations, Puyin group will hold the Guiyang strategic development ceremony of Puyin blockchain finance in Guizhou on December 9, 2016
the meeting will discuss the realization of digital circulation of assets by blockchain, the financial transaction mode of blockchain, and the application of blockchain services and social public instry. This conference will mark the beginning of the application of blockchain finance and the change and development of the new financial ecology
1. Application of blockchain technology in the banking instry the biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which will rece a lot of costs for the banking instry. The development of digital currency will make it possible for banks to realize real-time digital transactions. For example, in bill transaction, bank bill transaction always relies on the third party to realize the transfer of valuable documents. Even in electronic bill transaction,
also needs to be authenticated through the information of central bank ECDs system. 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 bank
2, the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry
blockchain technology also has incomparable advantages in the insurance instry. From the perspective of data management, the application of blockchain technology can effectively improve the risk management and control ability of insurance companies, including the risk supervision of insurance companies and the risk management of policyholders
the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry can strengthen the internal risk supervision of insurance companies. Blockchain technology can record the daily operation process of insurance company on the node, realize the in-process control of the company's capital flow, investment situation, compensation amount and other business, and improve the company's risk management and control ability
3. Application of blockchain technology in the securities instry
4, blockchain technology and financial infrastructure
blockchain technology is a decentralized mechanism for value exchange, which will lead to earth shaking changes in the existing financial infrastructure characterized by centralization
5. Application of blockchain technology in supply chain, It has become an effective guarantee for enterprise bank's loan credit, financing credit and transaction credit
blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger. Blockchain is not something. You can think of it as the Internet. No one will think that the Internet is an object. Blockchain is a new model. If we think of it as an account book, it means that all transaction information is in this book. Due to the characteristics of decentralization, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of a third party
blockchain is a decentralized database in essence. Once the contents in the database are recorded in the chain, they cannot be tampered with, and all the contents can be traced back to their source. The centralized procts may be tampered by the jurisdictional party. Therefore, blockchain traceability is also commonly used to trace the source of goods
there is still a lot of knowledge about blockchain, which is just a simple concept. In depth understanding, we need to take time to look at the news and learn about its landing applications. We can see more about password finance.
then, how to judge whether blockchain technology is reliable depends on two main points
first, there should be a real application scenario. No matter how small the application scenario is, it must be valuable
whether blockchain technology can finally be implemented depends on many complex factors, and one of the key points is the application scenario. To find the corresponding application scenario, we should start from the technical characteristics of blockchain itself. Blockchain technology can provide decentralized, tamper proof, safe and reliable characteristic guarantee without introcing third-party intermediaries
Second, the application of blockchain technology should be able to solve problems, not manufacturing problems
with real application scenarios, it also hit the pain points in the instry, but these are not enough to make blockchain technology truly land in the real economy and realize the integration with the real economy. Because the most critical point depends on whether the blockchain technology is applied to solve the problem
with the application of blockchain technology and the assistance of some Internet of things devices, investors can query the real-time and dynamic data of the project at any time, and can directly monitor the progress of the project in different places even without leaving home
using blockchain technology to solve the original difficult problems, combined with the real application scenarios, the implementation of blockchain technology in the real economy has become a natural thing.
nowadays, blockchain has become an area of public concern, and many enterprises have already studied the implementation of this technology. However, there are still a large number of people who are not familiar with the relevant concepts of blockchain technology. Recently, Viking Research Institute and think tank a jointly proced the blockchain instry dictionary. Bianews, as a media partner, has been authorized to popularize the knowledge of blockchain every day
today, bianews will bring you a little knowledge of blockchain. (2) the characteristics of blockchain
1. Anonymity / anonymousness because the data exchange between the nodes of the blockchain follows a fixed and predictable algorithm, the blockchain network does not need to be trusted and can exchange data based on address rather than personal identity
2. Autonomous / autonomous blockchain adopts consensus based mechanism, which enables all nodes in the whole system to exchange data, record data and update data freely and safely in a de trusted environment, without any human intervention
3. The open / openness blockchain system is open, and any node can have the total account book of the whole network. Except that the private information of the parties directly related to the data is encrypted by asymmetric encryption technology, the data of the blockchain is open to all nodes, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
4. The digital nature of programmable / programmable distributed ledger means that blockchain transactions can be associated with computing logic and are programmable in nature. Therefore, users can set algorithms and rules to automatically trigger transactions between nodes
5. The traceability / Traceability blockchain stores all the historical data after the genesis block through the block data structure, and any data on the blockchain can be traced back to its origin through the chain structure
6. Tamper proof / after the information of tamper proof blockchain is added to the blockchain through consensus, it is jointly recorded by all nodes, and the mutual correlation is ensured through cryptography, so the difficulty and cost of tampering is very high
7. The collective maintenance / collectively maintain blockchain system is jointly maintained by all the nodes with maintenance function. All nodes can query blockchain data and develop related applications through open interfaces
8. No license / permissionless no license means that all nodes can request to add any transaction to the blockchain, but only if all users think it is legal.
blockchain English Name: blockchain, also known as block chain, is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order, It is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptography
blockchain is essentially a distributed database, which is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
2. Working principle
the core potential of blockchain lies in the characteristics of distributed database and how to help transparency, security and efficiency
in the past, institutions used a central database to support transaction processes and calculations. The control of the database is in the hands of its owner, who manages the access and update rights to the database, which limits the transparency and scalability, and makes it difficult for outsiders to ensure that the data records are not manipulated
at the same time, e to technical limitations, distributed database is basically impossible to achieve. But with the development of software, communication and encryption technology, it is possible to build a distributed database across organizations. Blockchain has graally emerged
3. Core idea
the basic idea of blockchain is to establish a network-based public ledger (data block), each block contains the information of a network transaction. All the participating users in the network work together to keep accounts and check accounts. All the data are open and transparent, and can be used to verify the effectiveness of the information. In this way, the authenticity and non tamperability of information can be guaranteed at the technical level without the central server as the trust intermediary.
