Blockchain body
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 decentralized 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
some areas where blockchain can be used can be as follows:
& ᦇ 9642; Smart contract; Securities trading; E-commerce; Internet of things; Social communication; File storage; Proof of existence; Authentication
&9642; Equity crowdfunding
we can compare the development of blockchain with the development of the Internet itself. In the future, something called finance Internet will be formed on the Internet. This thing is based on blockchain, and its precursor is bitcoin, that is, traditional finance starts from private chain and instry chain (LAN), bitcoin series starts from public chain (WAN), They all express the same concept - digital asset, and finally converge to an intermediate equilibrium point
The evolution mode ofblockchain is as follows:
& 9642; Blockchain 1.0 digital currency; Blockchain 2.0 digital assets and smart contracts; Blockchain 3.0: implementation of distributed applications in various instries
1 - public blockchain; It means that anyone can read and send transactions for validity confirmation, and anyone can participate in the consensus process of the blockchain to jointly maintain the security, transparency and non tampering of the public blockchain data. For example,
2-community blockchain represented by bitcoin; It is also called alliance chain, which means that the nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and there are usually good network connections and other cooperative relationships between the nodes; Community blockchain is a practical application scenario of the combination of blockchain and physical goods, such as Domenech jewelry's Maobei mode
3-private blockchain: the participating nodes only have a limited range, the data access and use have strict permission management, the write permission is only in the hands of the participants, and the read permission can be opened to the outside world.

A: the basic characteristics of blockchain
I. decentralization
blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage
the foundation of blockchain technology is open source. In addition to the private information of all parties involved in the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
Third, independencebased on consensus specifications and Protocols (similar to various mathematical algorithms such as hash algorithm used by bitcoin), the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention
Four, safetyas long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily controlled and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes
5. Anonymityunless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and the information transmission can be anonymous
1 - public blockchain: it refers to the blockchain that anyone can read and send transactions for validity confirmation, and anyone can participate in its consensus process, so as to jointly maintain the security, transparency and non tampering of public blockchain data
2-community blockchain: also known as alliance chain, it means that the nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and there are usually good network connections and other cooperative relationships between the nodes
3-private blockchain: the participating nodes only have a limited range, the access and use of data have strict permission management, the write permission is only in the hands of the participants, and the read permission can be opened to the outside world.
the first generation of blockchain is exchangeable, mobile and encrypted digital asset authentication
the second generation of blockchain is essentially the first generation of blockchain + smart contract
the third generation blockchain is the instry wide application of the second generation blockchain + blockchain technology
what you said is just a narrow sense of application.
