Does blockchain belong to the forefront of logistics

1. blockchain is the biggest trend in the next decade
if you look at the problem with the thinking of 30 years ago, you will think that others are crazy, but in fact you are out of date
the concept of blockchain can be traced back to the end of 2008. In the forum, a mysterious personage named "Nakamoto Tsung" published a paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" and proposed the concept of blockchain for the first time
on January 3, 2009, the first block of the blockchain was born, which is called the "Founding block"
almost with the birth of blockchain technology, bitcoin became the first thing to play its role. In the following years, bitcoin graally swept the world. In 2017, its crazy market made blockchain technology known to all
the idea of blockchain first appeared in the famous bitcoin open source project. In the process of its birth and development, bitcoin project draws on the technical achievements from digital currency, cryptography, game theory, distributed system, cybernetics and other fields. It can be said that bitcoin project is good at all. As its core supporting structure, blockchain technology is a remarkable innovation achievement
blockchain is a distributed database system with different nodes, which is an open ledger system<
three characteristics of blockchain
compared with the traditional centralized scheme, blockchain technology mainly has the following three characteristics:
the core idea of blockchain is decentralization
in the blockchain system, the rights and obligations between any node are equal, and all nodes have the ability to vote with computing power, Thus, the result recognized by more than half of the nodes is guaranteed. Even under serious hacker attacks, as long as the number of nodes controlled by hackers does not exceed half of the total number of nodes in the world, the system can still operate normally and the data will not be tampered with
block chain's biggest subversive is the establishment of credit
the collective maintenance of blockchain can rece the cost
in the centralized network system, the maintenance and operation of the system depend on the operation and operation of platforms such as data center, and the cost cannot be omitted. Anyone can participate in the nodes of the blockchain. Each node can verify the correctness of the results of other nodes' records while participating in the records, which improves the maintenance efficiency and reces the cost
in a word, blockchain touches money, trust and power, which are the fundamental basis for human survival< Its development has gone through three stages
1. Brewing period: from 2009 to 2012, bitcoin and its instrial ecology are the main economic forms
2. Embryonic period: from 2012 to 2015, with bitcoin entering the public view, new wallet payment and remittance companies appeared, and blockchain economy spread to the financial field. The underlying technology of blockchain is constantly innovated. Blockchain technology is separated from bitcoin system
3. Development period: in 2016, we began to explore instry applications, and a large number of blockchain start-ups appeared. The popularity of ICO in 2017 has given blockchain unprecedented attention
"blockchain 2.0 era" is coming
the application service layer is the driving force for the sustainable development of blockchain, which is divided into three stages of application: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
programmable currency: blockchain 1.0 application
programmable currency is the digital currency represented by bitcoin, but it is not the legal tender of any country or region, and there is no government authority to provide guarantee for it
programmable Finance: blockchain 2.0 application& quot; Smart contract& quot; Using program algorithm to replace the concept of contract execution. This enables blockchain to expand from the original monetary system to the registration and transfer of equity, creditor's rights and property rights, the transaction and execution of securities and financial contracts, and even the financial fields of gambling and anti-counterfeiting
programmable Society: blockchain 3.0 application
blockchain is the core of value Internet, which can confirm, measure and store the property rights of information and bytes representing value in each Internet. It can not only record the transactions of the financial instry, but also record almost anything valuable that can be expressed in the form of code. Its application can be extended to any field with demand, and then to the whole society
at present, the application of blockchain has begun to surpass bitcoin (blockchain 1.0), enter the era of blockchain 1.5, and transition to the financial field (blockchain 2.0)
in the next 3-5 years, blockchain may go beyond the financial field and enter the field of social notarization and intelligence (blockchain 3.0), including identity authentication, notarization, arbitration, audit, domain name, logistics, medical care, mail, visa, voting and other fields. Its application scope will be expanded to the whole society, and blockchain technology is likely to become a new technology& quot; All things are connected& quot; It's the lowest level protocol
at present, blockchain technology has been recognized by the world, and its development has become an inevitable trend. Accompanied by more people's attention, "in the next 30 years, new technologies will be integrated into all aspects of traditional instries, and human society will turn upside down. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, all of us will be a part of this great change."
this is the current situation. Blockchain has given the post-90s an opportunity. However, if you want to control blockchain technology without being affected by negative factors, the most important thing is to have a clear understanding of it, whether it is regulators, researchers, speculators or bystanders
it's time to devote more energy to blockchain technology
in China, the average annual salary of blockchain positions has reached more than 300000, and that of some enterprises has reached more than 1 million. The monthly salary of blockchain instry graates in Beijing, Shanghai and other places has exceeded 20K! If the post-90s seize the bonus of the times, they may become the next Alibaba in the future! If you miss it, you may regret it for ten years.

2. 1. What is blockchain? In a word
A: blockchain is an encrypted database chain, that is, the transaction data in multiple timestamps / events are encrypted and linked together, and the data can not be tampered with or shared
2. Performance and logic:
A. external operation forms: bank deposit and withdrawal, remittance, account in and out, shopping, currency issuance, capital transaction, etc
B. internal logic processing (software program): after human operation, the data will be encrypted first and then stored in the database. After the program, the data will be divided into regions, such as the data in the event and time stamp will be classified and put together into a region. Multiple events and data in timestamps are associated to form a blockchain. The encrypted data can be shared, but not tampered with
C. forms of sharing: querying personal information, auditing, etc. Query permission / sharing permission: different permissions can query different data. For example, the bank can query the information of all people, and the indivial can only query the indivial
3. Most of the examples are different, but the logic processing ideas are the same, but the implementation methods and operations are different
4. Blockchain: it has the characteristics of encrypted data, tamperable data and shared data
5. Blockchain Technology: the technology of encrypting, partitioning and sharing data with editing programs
there are suggestions for guidance
application fields: finance, it, commodity sales, online shopping, etc.

in the express logistics instry, there are blockchain companies in China, such as Walton chain

last year, Walton chain and cargo bag (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. reached a strategic cooperation to help them improve their logistics solutions through the "RFID + blockchain" technical solution of Walton chain, and link the data of cargo bag in all aspects of its logistics turnover, such as the layout of the read-write system of key nodes such as in and out of warehouse, receiving and taking goods, when the objects pass any link, All the data can be read by RFID reader, and the corresponding behavior can be transformed into data, which can be uploaded to the blockchain. Users can trace the whole process of logistics with one click

the four business scenarios that can be implemented in the real environment are suitable for the application of blockchain technology

Scene 1: Express insurance

around the insurance scene, express companies carry out commodity transportation, insurance companies provide commodity insurance, merchants provide commodity sales, sellers purchase insurance services, and the government carries out instry supervision

then, what should be recorded on the blockchain? There are several key points, such as the logistics details, accounts, identities, claims and other reference data of commodities are recorded on the blockchain

insurance is the concept of contract. When the customer signs for the package normally, the account claims will be automatically triggered, the contract will end normally, and the premium will be automatically cleared. If there is a problem or lost part, the insurance company's claim process will be triggered

Scene 2: public express

for public welfare activities, such as "one cent" activities, one cent of the cost of each public parcel is donated to the account of public welfare organizations. In this scenario, the express company still undertakes the transportation of goods, the public welfare organizations provide the implementation of public welfare activities, and the poverty alleviation businesses provide the sales of public welfare poverty alleviation goods

then what is recorded in the blockchain is the logistics details of the goods. After the package is signed, it will be recorded on the blockchain and automatically trigger the transfer from the public welfare account of the logistics company to the account of the public welfare organization. When the public welfare activities are over, the whole process is open and transparent, avoiding the public's distrust of social public welfare activities

Scene 3: share the instry blacklist

the blacklist of express delivery practitioners is still dominated by offline mode at present. We hope that through the blockchain technology, each company can record the blacklist of employees on the blockchain, and other companies can also query, and the data can not be modified, and can be traced back to the information such as which company this person did what kind of inappropriate behavior

Scene 4: Supervision of security incidents in postal delivery channels

many express companies will install security inspection machines, and the government also wants to know whether each logistics company has any potential transportation security incidents. Through the mode of Distributed Accounting, each express company can record the effective information of the security event on the blockchain when there is a security event, so that the regulatory authorities can monitor in real time and can not tamper with it

the contents of this article do not constitute any investment suggestions. There are risks in the market and investment should be cautious

4. If we look at the blockchain from the perspective of logistics, the most intuitive part should be the transparent management part, which is reflected in two simple aspects: one is the data on the chain, the other is the real traceability

logistics informatization has been stagnant, in addition to the lack of information technology in the logistics instry itself, the most important thing is that the information data is inaccurate, untrue and not timely. The application of blockchain technology in data right confirmation should be very smooth. Only the data needs to be linked, the uniqueness of the data can be verified and the data can not be tampered with. The true reflection of data can be most directly reflected in the supply chain finance, which can play a rapid role in promoting business operations such as risk assessment and pledge dection. On the other hand, in logistics, high value-added procts have a strong demand for traceability. Traceability requires authenticity and reliability, and records can not be tampered with. The application of blockchain can be well reflected here.

5. Logistics instry is very suitable for the application of blockchain technology< In fact, logistics ecosystem is a community of interests composed of multiple participants. There is a concept of "flow" in the instry. Starting from the initial "business flow", it graally gave birth to "logistics", as well as the corresponding support of "capital flow" and "information flow"

there is a key problem behind the emergence of various "flows", that is, the transfer of commodity ownership. Many types of problems solved by blockchain technology are related to trust friction in the process of asset ownership transfer. Therefore, it can be concluded that the business scenario of multi flow integration in express logistics instry is very suitable for blockchain technology to play its value and effect. The application of blockchain technology can significantly improve the processing speed and efficiency of settlement business in express logistics instry, effectively solve the problem of traceability and anti-counterfeiting, and fully ensure the information security and the privacy of the sender and recipient. Next, I list four types of business scenarios suitable for the express logistics instry of blockchain technology

1) high value market. After digitizing high-value commodities, they are recorded on the blockchain to maintain asset ownership< 2) asset ownership transaction. After the assets are digitized, they are recorded on the blockchain for the record management of the asset transaction process

3) shared data scenario. Participants sharing data in the instry record these shared data in the form of blockchain ledger

4) compliance audit. The blockchain records the transactions within and between enterprises with non tamperable and traceable data. The compliance audit requires the input of these high-quality data, so it can be more rapid and efficient in technology

6. Yes, that's right! Ant blockchain is so incredible. It uses technology to link the real business behavior data of shippers, drivers and logistics companies through its own characteristics of being tamperable and leaving traces in the whole process, so as to reshape its own credit. In this way, the improvement of credit value also greatly increases the cost of financing Loan, mortgage and other financial business success rate, with the flow of funds can naturally make the logistics enterprise better development.
