Regulations on blockchain technology management
Blockchain itself is not illegal, but if it is used illegally, it is illegal
Li Bin, deputy director of Chongqing big data application and development administration, said that as a disruptive innovative frontier technology in the field of big data intelligence, the Chongqing municipal government attaches great importance to active layout, and the municipal government and Yuzhong District Government jointly build a blockchain base. In the second half of last year, the government issued the opinions on accelerating the cultivation and innovative application of blockchain instry, It has officially launched the construction of a place for strategic innovation of blockchain
while actively encouraging the technological progress and instrial development of blockchain, we will resolutely prohibit the illegal use of blockchain technology in accordance with the requirements of relevant national policies
at present, China's blockchain technology and application continue to innovate, and are graally applied in supply chain finance, credit reference, proct traceability and other fields, with huge development space. As a new technology, if blockchain wants to realize large-scale practical application, it must strengthen the cooperation of instry, University, research and application, and promote the continuous development and maturity of technology and application
since 2017, the development of blockchain technology has aroused the deep concern of the government, enterprises and other sectors. Because of its decentralized, tamperable and traceable characteristics, blockchain attracts investors to add weight to this new technology field. For the previous hot speculation of blockchain technology, the cognition of it and investment circles has become increasingly rational

China has started to establish a national standard for blockchain to promote the construction of blockchain standard system from top-level design, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 at the earliest
in this regard, Zhao Wu, founder of Beijing Huashun Xin'an Technology Co., Ltd., also said that although the blockchain has disruptive technology potential, we must realize that the blockchain is still in its infancy, far from reaching the stage of subverting the world
Yu Kequn stressed that the independent and controllable blockchain network is intended not to be controlled by others technically, but also to promote the healthy development of blockchain. Security is the future life of blockchain. Only its own security can make blockchain technology landing. This requires us to pay equal attention to the development of blockchain technology and its security attributes, even ahead of timein this regard, Li Ming also said that an important part of the standard is the information security standard, which can also see the importance of security to blockchain technology. He also pointed out that the development of blockchain standards does not mean that it will rapidly promote the development of the instry, but give the instry certain guidance. Previously, China has suffered a lot in terms of international intellectual property rights and standards. In terms of blockchain, China has formed more than 200 patents in terms of international blockchain, and even stands in the forefront of world technology. Therefore, we also need to firmly grasp our right to speak

secondly, test verification includes test cases, test plans, test tools and test environment. According to GB / T 25000.10 -, 4.3.1 proct quality model and blockchain reference architecture
Third, promote the standard application demonstration. It can be divided into three stages. Firstly, it needs to go through the research stage, including the preparation of the white paper, the formation of the draft and the establishment of the standards working group at the end of 2016. In order to promote the development of blockchain technology, the focus of the next stage is to find real application cases in various instries (financial services, supply chain management, entertainment, etc.) and create typical cases. Li Ming said that this will be carried out graally in the second half of this year Fourth, build open source community, including open source official website, instry alliance, training and certification, summit and hacker marathon, technical committee, communication tools, etc. The goal is to form an independent, safe and controllable general technology solution for blockchain, to track and study the development trend of foreign blockchain open source, to explore the possibility of domestic technology open source, and to form an open source solution suitable for Chinabased on the legal framework, the blockchain technology makes the transaction information more secure and transparent, and the data more traceable through the pre-set automatic execution of intelligent contracts, which greatly reces the cost of law enforcement, presents the situation that the law and technology complement each other, and the law and economy are integrated, which makes the legal constraints and enforcement graally move towards intelligence
what is blockchain
blockchain is an innovative application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies in the Internet era
blockchain is essentially a decentralized distributed ledger database. It is a series of data blocks associated with cryptography. Each data block contains the information of effective confirmation of multiple bitcoin network transactions, which is used to verify the validity of the information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
foreign legal regulations on blockchain
as the blockchain technology itself is still in the exploration stage and has not been applied on a large scale, only some countries have enacted special legislation on blockchain technology< In the United States, Vermont and Arizona have passed bills to clearly define and support blockchain technology for public use. The bill stipulates the use specifications of blockchain and smart contract, and states that all data related to blockchain are "considered as electronic format and become electronic records", which is recognized by the state
UK
distributed ledger Technology: beyond blockchain mentions that the UK federal government will invest in blockchain technology to analyze the potential of blockchain application in traditional financial instry
Singapore
the government supports financial technology enterprises such as blockchain technology, and has launched a regulatory sandbox to provide a more tolerant development environment for blockchain start-ups
China's legal regulation on blockchain
in addition to the above-mentioned policies on blockchain itself, a series of regulatory provisions have been issued internationally for virtual currencies such as bitcoin
in our country, in addition to the policies on the transaction and financing of bitcoin and other virtual currencies, the government has also issued many policy regulations on blockchain
on December 27, 2016, blockchain technology was listed in the notice of the State Council on printing and distributing the 13th five year plan for national informatization. At the same time, the State Council also issued a document "China's blockchain instry is expected to walk in the forefront of the world" to support the healthy development of blockchain
it is mentioned in the guidance of the general office of the State Council on actively promoting the innovation and application of supply chain that we should study and use emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence to establish a credit evaluation mechanism based on supply chain. Promote the organic docking of various supply chain platforms, and strengthen the disclosure and sharing of credit rating, credit record, risk warning, illegal and dishonest behavior and other information< In the eyes of lawyers, the legal risks of blockchain technology
as a distributed system, blockchain is an innovative application in the field of technology. According to the current exploration results, its technical concept can bring great changes to the development of various instries
however, as the law has not yet issued clear instry standards and applicable norms for blockchain, there are still problems such as national supervision and legal regulation in the future
taking bitcoin as a typical digital currency as an example, the first problem we face is supervision. Bitcoin and other digital currencies based on blockchain technology are logically decentralized and opposed to centralized supervision
secondly, the application of blockchain technology has to face huge risks. Taking bitcoin as an example, loss, theft, attack, speculation, money laundering and all kinds of disturbances, doubts and events have been accompanied by the development of bitcoin
the wide application of blockchain technology is inseparable from smart contract, which defines commitment in the form of digital coding. The two sides of the transaction do not need to trust each other, all transactions are enforced by the code
however, the validity of the form and content of smart contract has not been formally recognized by the law and the judiciary. As the contract text in the form of digital coding, it is not clear whether it can constitute the elements of an effective contract and whether it can meet the authenticity, legality and validity of the evidence to be accepted by the judiciary
e to the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, its own rules are bound to conflict and contradict with social rules and national legal rules. It is precisely conflicts and contradictions, risks and problems that can stimulate motivation and imagination, including that of society, the state and indivials
in the process of transaction, virtual currency based on the application of blockchain technology has posed great challenges to the legal tender and financial system of various countries, and caused investment risks and even social problems.
