What is the meaning of virtual currency public chain and private
blockchain includes public blockchain, joint (instry) blockchain and private blockchain. Public chain point-to-point e-cash system: bitcoin, smart contract and decentralized application platform: Ethereum
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. In essence, it is a decentralized database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains a batch of bitcoin network transaction information, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
extended data
according to the different degree of blockchain network centralization, three kinds of blockchains under different application scenarios are differentiated:
1. The blockchain with the whole network open and without user authorization mechanism is called public chain
2. The authorized nodes are allowed to join the network, and the information can be viewed according to the authority. It is often used in the inter agency blockchain, which is called alliance chain or instry chain
3. All the nodes in the network are in the hands of one organization, which is called private chain
alliance chain and private chain are also called licensing chain, and public chain is called non licensing chain
blockchain features
1, decentralization. Blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage. Decentralization is the most prominent and essential feature of blockchain
2. Openness. Blockchain technology is based on open source. In addition to the private information of all parties involved in the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
3. Independence. Based on consensus specifications and Protocols (similar to various mathematical algorithms such as hash algorithm used by bitcoin), the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention
4. Safety. As long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily manipulated and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes
5. Anonymity. Unless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and the information can be transferred anonymously
Public chain is also known as "public chain", and public chain refers to the blockchain that anyone in the world can read and send transactions, and transactions can be effectively confirmed, and can also participate in the consensus process. According to the different degree of blockchain network centralization, three kinds of blockchain under different application scenarios are differentiated:
1. The blockchain with open whole network and no user authorization mechanism is called public chain
2. The authorized nodes are allowed to join the network, and the information can be viewed according to the authority. It is often used in the inter agency blockchain, which is called alliance chain or instry chain
3. All the nodes in the network are in the hands of one organization, which is called private chain
extended data:
according to the different degree of blockchain network centralization, three different application scenarios of blockchain are differentiated:
(1) the blockchain which is open in the whole network and without user authorization mechanism is called public chain
(2) authorized nodes are allowed to join the network, and information can be viewed according to their permissions. It is often used in inter agency blockchain, which is called alliance chain or instry chain
(3) all nodes in the network are in the hands of one organization, which is called private chain
alliance chain and private chain are also called licensing chain, and public chain is called non licensing chain
program developers have no right to interfere with users, and each participant (i.e. node) can freely join and exit the network, and carry out relevant operations according to their wishes
private blockchain is on the contrary. The write permission of the network is fully controlled by an organization or institution, and the data read permission is regulated by the organization, either open to the outside world or with a certain degree of access restrictions
in short, it can be understood as a weakly centralized or multi centralized system. Because the participating nodes are strictly limited and few; Compared with public chain, private chain has shorter time to reach consensus, faster transaction speed, higher efficiency and lower cost
the alliance chain is a blockchain between the public chain and the private chain, which can realize "partial decentralization"
each node in the chain usually has its corresponding entity or organization; Participants join the network through authorization and form a stakeholder alliance to jointly maintain the operation of the blockchain.
It can be understood as the LAN of Internet bar
a few people use it by themselves, more people use it, and more open people still need license, that is, the alliance chain
there is no need for license at all. Anyone can use the public chain
alliance chain is only for members of a specific group and a limited third party, in which multiple preselected nodes are designated as bookkeepers, and the generation of each block is jointly determined by all preselected nodes
private chain refers to open to indivial indivials or entities
