With the coming of network information age, blockchain
There is no doubt that blockchain has development prospects, and the necessary condition for development prospects is to enter the mainstream market
North America blockchain infrastructure the oan (former aion network) founder and CEO Matt spoke published an article entitled "in order to successfully enter the mainstream market, blockchain projects must" eat dog food "in Forbes on July 24, in which Matt mentioned his views on how blockchain should enter the mainstream market - & quot; Eat dog food
in the science and technology circle, there is a jargon called & quot; Eat dog food Dogfood (also known as eating your own dog food) refers to companies using their own procts and becoming users of their own procts. Many high growth companies (such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, apple, Netflix and Google) also test their procts by "eating dog food" or help build credibility“ "Eat dog food" is often used to find and fix bugs, but it has another value: to create reliable use cases for the company's procts
this is worth learning from blockchain projects, because blockchain projects often hold & quot; Once built, they (users) will come naturally, which habitually leaves the responsibility of creating new and interesting blockchain applications to a third party
this attitude is very common, even the well-known blockchain summit consensus 2019 also held a conference entitled & quot; Once built, they (users) will naturally come: to build a global blockchain Center & quot; To discuss how governments around the world can make efforts to attract blockchain projects while balancing regulatory, investment and innovation needs
to be fair, this strategy may be effective for blockchains that only focus on people in the currency circle. For the security token, especially for the exchange represented by the transaction, it makes more sense - "supply creates demand" is the usual idea here, especially considering that the realization of these transactions requires the construction of complex infrastructure
in contrast, "eat dog food" is more likely to be adopted by blockchain project developers who seek mainstream audiences (such as those in financial instry, manufacturing and supply chain, identity management, etc.). If blockchain technology wants to enter these mainstream fields, blockchain companies must first "eat dog food". This can not only clearly prove that blockchain technology is feasible outside the coin circle, but also highlight that blockchain can not only optimize existing use cases, but also create new use cases
and the oan team has been adhering to this concept, and relying on the oan and aion's technology stack built over the years, it has developed a financial technology platform moves for independent workers
Matt said that in the development and development of moves, the team hopes that the relevant functions of the OAN blockchain network can be brought into full play, so it will focus on the following three aspects:
1. How to use the OAN blockchain network to improve the credit efficiency of the proct there are two main considerations to improve credit efficiency: 1) can we use the mechanism of the defi market to rece the cost of capital; 2) Can the blockchain technology be used to increase the external trust in the credit process of moves. Here, moves will form a mechanism of "pooling wisdom", so that everyone can contribute to recing credit risk and increasing the credibility of credit process, and may even develop a micro guarantee mechanism in the future. Therefore, users will be able to participate in the market established by the platform as borrowers, lenders or guarantors
specifically, by connecting moves with the oan network, and with the help of digital asset aion, a relationship of interest consistency is formed between procts and users, so that users can personally experience the success of moves procts and directly participate in the oan, a blockchain network supporting moves
3. How to create the first open system of financial reputation data with moves
this open system may become a substitute for traditional credit scores or related mechanisms. Over the years, banks and financial institutions have been using Equifax, Fico or other similar institutions' scores as risk indicators, and the moves team believes that the procts they are building will be a good start - the beginning of a more perfect and modern financial reputation system. This is a long-term goal
moves supports North American mainstream carpooling, take out and other casual work economic platforms, and will be the flagship open application developed by the oan on its blockchain network. In June, moves expanded its operations from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia into western Canada
all the initiatives of the oan team adhere to the spirit of "eating dog food" and strive to make blockchain technology enter the mainstream market as soon as possible. Blockchain is not for the minority, but for the mainstream. In addition to the oan team, many projects and institutions in the blockchain instry are also aiming at this goal. Can you say that such an excellent and targeted blockchain has no development prospects
Because the design of blockchain is a kind of protection measure, such as distributed computing system with high fault tolerance. Blockchain makes hybrid consistency possible. This makes blockchain suitable for recording events, titles, medical records and other activities that need to include data, identity management, transaction process management and provenance management. Blockchain has great potential for financial disintermediation and has great influence on guiding Global trade
extended data :
1. Blockchain is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm, etc. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system
2. Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a disintermediated database and the underlying technology of bitcoin. Blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by cryptography. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of the information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
3. Blockchain - the original blockchain is a kind of decentralized database, which contains a list called blocks, with continuously growing and orderly records. Each block contains a time stamp and a link with the previous block. The block chain is designed so that the data can not be tampered with. Once recorded, the data in a block will be irreversible

2017 is the first year of blockchain outbreak, and 2018 will be the first year of blockchain landing
what changes has blockchain brought to the world from 1.0 to 3.0
the development of blockchain can be divided into three stages: point-to-point transaction, smart contract and pan blockchain application Ecology (token economy)
blockchain 1.0 era: the era of digital currency return rate is the king, Digital currency trading is the most important form for people to participate in the blockchain. At this stage, few people really pay attention to the application value of digital currency, let alone the practical value of blockchain technology behind it. People's focus is on the rate of return of digital currency, which is equivalent to buying stocks on another disk. However, this "stock" is more active, and the rate of return is amazing. Of course, it is also full of sorrow
blockchain 2.0 era: smart contract provides infrastructure support for upper layer application development
"smart contract" era, which is the real programmable blockchain, usually represented by "Ethereum", supports Turing's complete scripting language at this stage, It provides the necessary infrastructure for developers to develop any application on the basis of their set "operating system", and realizes the application landing of virtual world. The biggest contribution of blockchain 2.0 is to completely subvert the traditional concepts of currency and payment through smart contracts. In the era of blockchain 2.0, blockchain has formed a trust foundation based on the characteristics of traceability and non tampering, which provides a trusted execution environment for smart contracts and makes it possible for contracts to be automated and intelligent. The biggest difference between the smart contract and the traditional contract is that it is not restricted by the law of the real society. For the contract subject to automatically execute the agreement after triggering the contract terms, However, the arbitration platform no longer judges the execution result in the smart contract, but undertakes the responsibility of execution
blockchain 3.0: the subversion of business lies in the transformation of proction relations
we are now at the junction of 2.0 era and 3.0 era, which can be regarded as an ideal vision for the future virtual digital currency economy, In blockchain 3.0, people can really realize the asset on the chain, build a variety of applications in a large underlying framework, build a platform with no trust cost, super trading ability and extremely low risk, which can be used to realize the increasingly automated distribution of physical resources and human assets around the world, and promote large-scale cooperation in science, health, ecation and other fields
blockchain 2.0 constructs digital identity, smart contract and other infrastructure. On this basis, it hides the complexity of underlying technology, and application developers can focus more on application logic and business logic. That is to say, we have entered the era of blockchain 3.0, which is marked by the emergence of token. Token is the value transmission carrier on the blockchain network, which can also be understood as token or token
the greatest effect of token on human society lies in its transformation of proction relations. Joint stock companies will be replaced, and every actual participant will become the owner of proction capital. This new type of proction relations inspires every participant to contribute his proctivity continuously, which is a great liberation of proctivity. If this kind of business activity is mapped into the inflation of real society, as long as the former outperforms the latter, every token holder will gain over time
it's too early to talk about blockchain 3.0. Although blockchain has gone out of the conceptual stage, the current situation of blockchain technology development is that the underlying technology is not mature enough and the application scenarios are limited. On the one hand, consensus algorithm and other core technologies of blockchain still have room for optimization and improvement; On the other hand, the processing efficiency of blockchain is difficult to meet the requirements of some high-frequency application environments in reality. Moreover, the current mainstream blockchain technology platforms are all originated from abroad. Domestic blockchain technology service providers should patiently start from the bottom development, achieve independent and controllable technology, and strive to lead the development of global blockchain technology, which still needs a certain period of time
the final goal of the competition is to really concentrate on the research of technology and the development of practical application enterprises! According to my observation, among the various applications based on Ethereum, SEC social e-commerce chain has a great chance of landing, which is likely to become a killer application. In the official account of SECblock, weekly weekly reports show that the team is working hard. p>
If bitcoin represents blockchain version 1.0, it proves to the world that digital currency can be realized. Then Ethereum represents blockchain version 2.0, which lets you know more about the play of blockchain, decentralized applications and smart contracts. In 2018, blockchain will enter the stage of 3.0, application and scenario landing will be the core of blockchain, and blockchain based applications in various instries will spring up, which will be the early dividend period of the last stage of blockchain development. The demand for talents driven by the application of blockchain technology has become increasingly large. Blockchain technical talents have become the new professional talents, which are highly competitive, and also have enviable high salaries
whether to form a meaningful large-scale consensus: one of the outstanding advantages of blockchain is that it can effectively form a large-scale consensus by opening account books and notifying the whole network. At present, there is no need to form a network wide consensus for many projects. Some projects are just for crowdfunding and token issuance. The blockchain consensus of projects is meaningless. Does this model have network effect: network effect means that a project will become more and more valuable with more and more users of the project, because the value of the project is not in the users themselves, but in the connection network between users. Bitcoin is a typical example. The more user nodes there are, the more links between nodes will grow exponentially, and the whole ecosystem of bitcoin will be more valuable
of course, in addition to these points, there are many basic principles to judge the project, such as effective incentive mechanism, strong team, project solving pain points, and so on
2. It should be noted that the community of the Internet of things will develop a private chain in a few years to store transaction information in an extremely safe way. The IOT architecture, which uses centralized servers to collect and store data, can write information into local ledgers and synchronize with other localized ledgers to ensure the security and uniqueness of facts
3. Timestamps are added to all IOT transactions on the blockchain to ensure the availability of future generations
4. The real innovation of blockchain lies in digital protocol or smart contract, which can be applied to blockchain data and implement commercial terms in IOT communication
5. Blockchain with high-end encryption technology can solve security problems.
before discussing how to apply blockchain in daily life, let's talk about what blockchain is and how it works
blockchain is an open distributed database, which is essentially a computer file used to store information (data)
the name of blockchain comes from its structural characteristics: the file is composed of data blocks, and each block is linked to the previous block to form a chain. Each block contains data, such as transaction records and records when the block was edited or created. Information (data) is stamped with time stamp, which is the origin of blockchain
it is crucial that, unlike centralized databases owned by companies or government agencies, blockchain is not controlled by any person or entity, and data is completely copied (distributed) on multiple computers
because it is a decentralized way to store and access data, it becomes extremely secure. Different from the centralized database, the attacker does not have a single entry point, so the data security is more guaranteed<
in addition to the two characteristics of decentralization and security, blockchain has become a leading technology which is different from other technologies:
tamperability: once entering the blockchain, any information can not be changed, even the administrator can not modify this information. It makes blockchain easy to audit
accessible: all nodes in the network can easily access information
no third party: blockchain can help point-to-point transactions, so whether you are trading or exchanging funds, you do not need the approval of a third party. Blockchain itself is a platform
the impact of blockchain technology
first, the open and tamperable nature of blockchain technology makes it possible to decentralize the trust mechanism. It has the potential to change the financial infrastructure. Various financial assets, such as equity, bonds, bills, warehouse receipts and fund shares, can be integrated into the blockchain ledger to become digital assets on the blockchain, which can be stored, transferred and used in the blockchain Deal. It has a broad application prospect in the financial field. For example, it has typical applications in cross-border payment, insurance claims, securities trading, bills, etc
Second, the current Internet of things ecosystem relies on the centralized network management architecture, and all devices are connected through the cloud server. With the expansion of the network scale, the infrastructure and maintenance of centralized cloud servers, large servers and network equipment will occupy a high cost
in the decentralized Internet of things, blockchain is a framework to promote transaction processing and cooperation among interactive devices, and each device on the network can operate as an independent and micro business entity< Third, public service is a factor to promote economic growth and social progress. The supply of public service has an important impact on various subjects, systems, cultures, attitudes and behaviors in the process of political, economic and social development. The traditional notarization relies on the government, and the limited data dimension and the historical data information chain that has not been established often lead to the government and schools unable to obtain complete and effective information. Using blockchain, tamper proof can be established. In the fields of digital rights, intellectual property rights, certificates and public welfare, new authentication mechanisms can be established to improve the management level of public services.
