Tencent's blockchain company
A vigorous "blockchain movement" is sweeping like a wave, threatening everyone around. From last year to this year, the debate over blockchain has never stopped. Is blockchain, as its advocate Chen Weixing said, the "spring of mankind", the "antidote to the global economic collapse", or as his doubter Zhu Xiaohu said, "blockchain is a fake outlet, and there is nothing left except currency speculation"
we think that this instry needs standards, otherwise we will talk about blockchain for a long time, and the concept of talking is not the same, and even some enterprises claim to make their own blockchain, and they just change the database. With the authoritative standard of trusted blockchain, we can screen out the enterprises that obviously sell dog meat, and let the enterprises that really do blockchain technology get endorsement
Ce: how does Tencent solve the problem of talent scarcity in the blockchain field
CAI Yige: our technical talents are basically transformed from Tencent. The blockchain instry is very new, and few people have done blockchain. Just like the arrival of mobile network in those years, it's very difficult for you to recruit Android and IOS developers. We all cultivate ourselves
blockchain payment is not made by that company,
unless it is led by the state.
Ma Huateng: blockchain, line; ICO, no way
at the two sessions, Ma Huateng said that the topic of blockchain has been very hot recently, and even some people teased that the Internet before blockchain was "classical Internet". Although blockchain technology is innovative, how to make good use of this technology is another problem
in Ma Huateng's view, blockchain technology can be applied in many fields, especially in the aspect of the uniqueness of digital authentication objects. Just like a file or bill in reality, blockchain technology can be used to ensure that they cannot be copied or tampered with. Compared with traditional IT technology in the past, blockchain has epoch-making significance in truly simulating the uniqueness of documents and receipts in real society
Ma Huateng thinks that there are still many risks in doing digital currency ICO. "If everyone can issue digital currency freely with blockchain technology, it will cause a lot of regulatory problems," he said
for example, the golden red envelope project in the 2017 Spring Festival internal test is Tencent's attempt to record users' digital assets with blockchain technology. In addition, Tencent also uses blockchain technology to rece the problem of information asymmetry
in addition to finance and public welfare, Tencent also reached a cooperation with Intel in September 2017, announcing that both sides will jointly develop blockchain technology to improve the security protection capability in the Internet of things scenario
1. Bubi blockchain company, which is engaged in the underlying technical services and instry solutions of blockchain. That is to say, an underlying blockchain is built, and an adaptation layer is built on it, so that enterprises can quickly establish commercial applications. The underlying blockchain is self-developed. The consensus mechanism is pbft, TPS is 5000 transactions per second, UnionPay is 2000 transactions per second, and bitcoin is 7 transactions per second. Of course, different underlying architectures lead to different performance, because Bubi's commercial blockchain pays more attention to performance. At present, Bubi is mainly used in digital assets, supply chain finance, supply chain traceability, public notary and other fields< 2. Bumeng blockchain. Theoretically, bumeng should be regarded as the proct line of Bubi, but Bubi is mainly engaged in the private chain, while bumeng is an alliance chain. So separately, bumeng is Bubi's layout in digital assets. The underlying technology is Bubi blockchain, but it encapsulates the blockchain according to the scene and provides API interface for enterprises. Enterprises issue their own assets on it. According to the characteristics of blockchain, they can freely circulate their assets. At present, some enterprises such as sunshine insurance, Qianxiang finance, crowdsourcing, Haohuo, etc. have joined in, and the assets in them include insurance policies, integral points, and so on Financial procts and so on. Finally, it is estimated that this platform will break through the barriers between assets, and the end users can freely use and transfer these assets. This is an interesting way for the blockchain instry, because it has both the opening of public chain and the security of private chain
Third, only chain, which is a commodity ID management cloud platform based on blockchain technology, provides enterprise users with commodity asset management, tracing, anti-counterfeiting verification, new supply chain management, etc. in the form of baas. Simple understanding is that only chain has done the content of "supply chain traceability" of Bubi blockchain
four, concentric mutual aid, concentric mutual aid is a mutual aid security platform, put some mutual insurance related information into the blockchain, and users can apply to become nodes, participate in bookkeeping, and maintain their own data
5. Xiaoyi is a decentralized network protocol based on blockchain technology, which digitizes the assets and interests of the real world, and carries out financial business such as registration and issuance, transfer transaction, clearing and delivery through point-to-point network
these five blockchain companies are probably well-known in China, and I personally recommend bumeng
first, bumeng uses the underlying technology of Bubi blockchain, which is very promising in the instry. It has the largest number of landing applications in China. Enterprises can not only use the blockchain technology at low cost (just call the interface, it seems that it is free), but also use the resources inside. Think about being on the same chain with many enterprises and docking resources in the future, User transformation should not be easy
Second, Weilian and Tongxin Huzhu focus on one field, and do not provide underlying technology and instry solutions. That is to say, if you are in this instry or can be used in the upstream and downstream of this instry, you can not be used in other fields. Take mutual security field as an example, zhongtuobang and zebra Club both choose bumeng. Of course, if it is an investment, you can consider it
Third, Xiaoyi, why not recommend Xiaoyi, because Xiaoyi is an open source project, and we all know the domestic business environment, especially when the instry is just beginning to develop, and the domestic market is different from that of foreign countries, Xiaoyi has gone through two rounds of ICO, which will be a great worry in the future operation, and at present, Xiaoyi has not been applied in practice, We have made a Fada platform, which has not been used by any company yet (guess it may be related to the factors of open source, who dares to open their data completely). Of course, the open attitude of Xiaoyi is worth encouraging. Although I guess the advantages and disadvantages of the code are well understood by peers, it is not clear
Fourth, why is there no recommendation for Bubby? Bubby has raised 30 million yuan a while ago, because Bubby is more open and has more resources. Of course, if the business requires high privacy, it can also choose Bubby blockchain
finally, for all my hard work, choose me!
In the field of blockchain, Tencent's blockchain is developing relatively fast. As early as 2015, Tencent's blockchain team has begun to pay attention to blockchain technology, and has carried out independent research and development. As of December 31, 2019, the number of Chinese invention patent applications related to Tencent's blockchain has reached 990, ranking first among Chinese application enterprises. After several years of research and development and exploration, Tencent blockchain has achieved good results in both the development of underlying technology and the construction of instrial ecology
the history of Tencent blockchain development:
there are no technical problems, just whether to do it or not. "
CAI Yige, the head of Tencent's blockchain, replied when asked what technical problems he encountered. On reflection, he added that technologies that have made breakthroughs in theory, such as secure multiparty computing and zero knowledge proof, have not yet been engineered. This is a problem for the whole instry
for Tencent blockchain, the bigger problem seems to be finding more scenarios“ "Blockchain + supply chain finance" is the scene Tencent vigorously promotes this year
at the end of last year, the supply chain financial service platform Xingbei cloud chain was released, and its underlying blockchain technology is the support provided by Tencent blockchain. In addition, Tencent also invested in uniifnance, which is Tencent's only strategic investment in supply chain finance
in the past nearly a year, how has the scene and Tencent blockchain progressed
today, after the founding meeting of the blockchain policy and law research group and the release of the white paper on blockchain and supply chain finance, odaily planet daily interviewed Cai Yige, general manager of Tencent's blockchain business, and Ji Kun, general manager of lianyirong company
according to the two people, in less than a year of operation, the flow of micro enterprise chain platform on the chain is about tens of billions of transactions, 12 banks are connected, and more than 70 enterprises are involved, involving energy, automobile, manufacturing and other instries. Now the penetration supplier level is about level 1 and level 2, which can rece the interest rate by 2-8 points compared with the traditional bank loans
micro enterprise chain platform is a key case of Tencent in supply chain finance. Tencent mainly provides the underlying technology infrastructure, including the underlying self research alliance chain, real-time clearing and account receiving capabilities; Lianyirong is mainly responsible for integrating resources and promoting the platform
supply chain finance is the head scene of blockchain, but in fact, the real implementation is still very slow, which makes people doubt the real change it brings. The two do not deny that this business is in a very early stage, and it will take some time to promote enterprises to join. However, they both believe that "after joining the blockchain, supply chain finance will actually have a very big change."
what the daily planet wants to know more is that with the addition of the supply chain finance after the blockchain, will enterprises and financial institutions be more willing to join? And can this rece the balance of SME loans and increase the number of enterprises that get loans
"(Supply Chain Finance) the biggest difficulty lies in the participation of financial institutions, because they can provide funds in the market." Ji Kun believes that the addition of blockchain can enhance the willingness of banks to enter the supply chain finance
in his opinion, the traditional banks of the four major banks are quite keen on the layout of blockchain. He said that the decentralization of supply chain finance itself and the authenticity of underlying assets are very difficult to check. Traditional financial institutions are not the mainstream, and there is no way to achieve penetration before. Therefore, banks can only get the data of primary suppliers, but the secondary and tertiary suppliers may need financing most. Now blockchain + supply chain finance has changed the credibility of multi-level data flow, strong credit can not be separated, and the synchronization efficiency of information, so that small, medium and micro enterprises which were difficult to obtain loans from financial institutions in the supply chain in the past can also obtain loans. The bank has always wanted to do the business of secondary and tertiary suppliers, and joined the blockchain to better control its own data
as for promoting enterprise use, Ji Kun said that many enterprises need some time to accept it, but because the block chain of supply chain finance mainly replaces the original role of commercial bills, the circulation of commercial bills itself has some pain points, such as counterfeiting, so they are relatively easy to accept
when the daily planet asked about how to ensure the authenticity of the information on the chain, Cai Yige said that different information can be cross verified, but he also thought that this was a problem indeed, and the use of blockchain could not guarantee the authenticity of the information on the chain. Therefore, the first step of the micro enterprise chain is actually accounts receivable. It is true to use invoices to protect the underlying assets. With the electronic business system of small and medium-sized enterprises, it will go deeper in the future
he added that blockchain can also improve the efficiency of information synchronization“ I think it's the control of information. In the case of centralization, even if you have information, you can tamper with it. "
with the focus of Tencent blockchain this year, we naturally want to know the future plan. However, Cai Yige's answer is the same as that at the beginning: "we can't talk about the plan. We will continue to think about the scenarios under which the blockchain can play its value."
about the development of this area:
first, we must choose the right scene, and we must find experts in this instry
Secondly, it should be in line with the nature of technology and have commercial value Thirdly, it should meet the needs of future development Fourthly, the architecture should be fully integrated with other technologies to solve the problemthe concept of blockchain should be a new outlet, specifically more use of network search, increase knowledge, network search results - Tencent blockchain development to you
