Network to blockchain from Internet
there is a core difference between blockchain and Internet: the value of underlying protocols and upper applications of blockchain and Internet are completely reversed. It mainly comes from the two core features of blockchain:
the first feature is that zero knowledge proof changes the ownership of data. In other words, the user's personal data on the blockchain belongs to the user and does not need to be provided to the application and stored on the central server. Then the core support "data" behind the market value of Internet application layer services, such as bat, will lose its original value in the field of blockchain
another feature is the economic incentive model brought by token, which gives high value to the underlying protocol. In the Internet era, no one pays for HTTP protocol, no one pays for sending and receiving email, and no one pays for Google's search service.
whether from the perspective of information transmission efficiency and resource consumption, or from the perspective of nervous system evolution, blockchain cannot become the mainstream architecture of the Internet, let alone the subversive and revolutionary of the future Internet.
The most important value of blockchain technology is to solve the credit problem of the Internet, that is, all people witness every transaction together. Therefore, if the blockchain of the Internet is really realized, many credit platforms will disappear directly, and the cost of all virtual transactions will be reced to almost zero. Copyright protection is no longer an issue. Unless the author wants to, you can no longer get free works on the Internet. All music, pictures and articles need to be read for a fee
more and more Internet applications will use blockchain technology to link web pages. Blockchain is not only the carrier of virtual currency, but also the carrier of mainstream Internet information in the future. The application of smart devices such as mobile phones will also adopt blockchain technology to ensure the fairness of transaction and rece the proction cost and transaction cost of proct procers
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chained data structure composed of data blocks connected in sequence according to the time sequence, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data
Application of blockchain:
1. The art instry
ascribe allows artists to declare their ownership by using blockchain technology, issue numbered and limited edition works, and aim at digital forms of any type of artwork. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services
2. Bitproof is the most advanced application of document timestamps in recent years, which will make the traditional notarization method a thing of 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
3. Development instry
colu is the first enterprise to allow other enterprises to issue digital assets. They can "token" all kinds of assets, which has a profound impact on 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 large.
