The core data of this article: China’s blockchain market size , the number of blockchain tenders in China, the number of blockchain companies in China
Industry Overview
1. Definition
In a narrow sense, blockchain is a A chained data structure is formed by sequentially connecting data blocks in chronological order, and is cryptographically guaranteed to be an untamperable and unforgeable distributed ledger.
Broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses block chain data structures to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithms to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure data transmission and access. It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method that uses smart contracts composed of automated script codes to program and operate data securely.
Blockchain is not a single technology, but a combination of new technologies. Each of these technologies performs its own role, solves different problems, and is combined to form a blockchain. As the basic structural unit of the blockchain, the block consists of two parts: the block header and the block body containing transaction data.
2. Industry chain analysis: the downstream industry covers a wide range of areas
The upstream of the blockchain industry chain is mainly the underlying technology and infrastructure. The underlying technology includes core basic components, protocols and algorithms. Represented by Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, a network environment such as distributed algorithms, digital keys, data storage, P2P network protocols, and consensus mechanisms based on blockchain technology, transaction rules, and incentives for miners to join network nodes have been built. Mechanism, representative companies include Xiaoyi, Quantum Chain, Wanxiang Blockchain, etc.; the infrastructure is mainly mining machines.
The midstream is the platform layer, which mainly provides developers with applications based on blockchain technology. It provides productized services such as smart contracts, information security, and data services based on the underlying technology to improve development It provides convenience and scalability for developers to develop applications at the platform layer.
Downstream is the vertical industry application layer. It manifests itself as core application components, including smart contracts, programmable assets, incentive mechanisms, member management, etc.
Industry development history: We are in the era of blockchain 3.0
From the perspective of the development history of global blockchain, in 2008, an anonymous person signed by "Satoshi Nakamoto" published The paper "Bitcoin: Peer-to-Peer Network Electronic Cash System" originally expected to launch a peer-to-peer electronic cash that could circulate freely. The issuance of Bitcoin represented the beginning of blockchain technology; later, in 2013, the launch of Ethereum directly Promote blockchain into 2.0Times; at the end of 2017, the popularity of stablecoins and the launch of MakerDAO pushed the blockchain into the 3.0 era. By June 2019, Facebook released the Libra white paper, which attracted attention and discussion from all walks of life around the world. Regulatory authorities in various countries have successively spoken out, showing that the area Blockchain technology has huge potential to reshape global financial infrastructure. After entering 2021, NFT-based identification technology has emerged and is the first to be applied in the art field.
Industry policy background: Promote the all-round development of blockchain
In 2016, the State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Informatization", which listed blockchain as a new technology for the first time The scope and cutting-edge layout indicate that my country has begun to promote the development of blockchain technology and applications. Since then, various localities in the country have successively introduced blockchain-related policies, providing a good environment for the development of blockchain.
In February 2019, the "Blockchain Information Service Management Regulations" issued by the State Internet Information Office were officially implemented, standardizing the filing basis for the development of my country's blockchain industry. The purpose of promulgating the "Regulations" is to clarify the information security management responsibilities of blockchain information service providers, standardize and promote the healthy development of blockchain technology and related services, avoid blockchain information service security risks, and facilitate the provision of blockchain information services. , use, management, etc. to provide effective legal basis. The introduction of this "management regulations" also means that my country's "supervision era" for blockchain information services has officially arrived.
At the end of October 2019, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 18th collective study session on the development status and trends of blockchain technology. Central leaders clearly emphasized the use of blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies. , Accelerate the promotion of blockchain technology and industrial innovation and development. This fully demonstrates that blockchain technology has risen to a national level. Chen Chun, a professor at Zhejiang University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who gave a lecture on the collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said at the 2019CCF Blockchain Technology Conference hosted by the Computer Society of China on October 12 that the development of the domestic blockchain industry is ushering in " "Spring Breeze", the research hotspots of China's blockchain technology will focus on two aspects: the key technology of the alliance blockchain and the blockchain supervision technology.
Current development of the industry
1. The market size will grow by more than 90% in 2020
From 2016 to 2018, large IT Internet companies have deployed blockchain. Start-ups have entered a blowout mode, and the industry scale continues to expand. According to IDC data, China's blockchain industry has experienced changes from a market size of US$85 million in 2017 to an industry scale of US$561 million in 2020.
2. The number of related companies is growing rapidly
In terms of the number of companies, in 2020H1, my country provided blockchain professional technical support, products, solutions and other services, and had input or output The number of new blockchain companies reached 303, a year-on-year increase of 274.07% nationwide. As of the end of 2020, my country’s blockchain-related companiesThe number reached 64,062, a year-on-year increase of 52.88%.
3. Blockchain finance is the largest downstream application market
According to the disclosure of the "China Blockchain Development White Paper (2020)", as the implementation of blockchain applications accelerates, "Blockchain+" business has become the focus of development for Internet backbone enterprises to enter the blockchain industry. In addition to financial business, it actively deploys the Internet, traceability, supply chain & logistics, digital assets, government affairs and public services, intellectual property, and law. , medical and other fields of application. Among them, finance is the most explored field in the application scenarios of blockchain technology, with specific projects implemented in subdivided fields such as supply chain finance, trade finance, payment and settlement, and fund management.
4. The number of blockchain tenders is increasing year by year
From a year perspective, from 2016 to 2020, the number of government tenders for blockchain-related projects has been growing exponentially. , on the one hand, it benefits from the increasingly prominent application value of blockchain technology, and on the other hand, it also reflects the government’s increased demand for and emphasis on blockchain.
Industry competition status
1. Regional competition: Beijing and Guangdong have the most blockchain technology research and development-related companies
In terms of company distribution, as of the first half of 2021 , the distribution of enterprises is obviously tiered. Among them, Beijing and Guangdong rank in the first echelon with 348 and 341 blockchain development-related companies respectively, and the number of companies in Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Zhejiang reaches 164, 127, and 81 respectively.
As an important carrier for the development of blockchain industrial clusters, local governments are accelerating the construction of blockchain industrial parks. Judging from the location distribution of industrial parks, there are a large number of blockchain industrial parks in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qingdao, and Changsha, forming a Bohai Rim agglomeration effect dominated by Beijing and Shandong, with Zhejiang and Shanghai , the agglomeration effect of the Yangtze River Delta dominated by Jiangsu, the agglomeration effect of the Pearl River Delta dominated by Guangdong, and the agglomeration effect of Hunan, Guizhou, and Chongqing dominated by Chongqing and Hunan. Combined with the positioning and development of the industrial park, it is based on the premise of serving enterprises to create a blockchain innovation platform and industrial highland. This positioning also provides the basis for the aggregation effect of enterprises.
2. Enterprise competition: Alibaba’s blockchain is the strongest
In March 2021, at the China Mobile Communications Federation Blockchain Professional Committee and the China Science and Technology System Reform Research Association Under the guidance of the Digital Economy Development Research Group and the Organizing Committee of China's Top 100 Blockchain Enterprises List, Chain Tower Think Tank screened and evaluated thousands of projects and enterprise lists, and finally released the 2020 China's Top 100 Blockchain Enterprises List.
In the context of the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, the 2020 Blockchain Top 100 List has adjusted the dimensions of enterprise inspection to a certain extent to highlight the performance of outstanding blockchain companies in 2020. It is divided into five main dimensions, namely, the weight of business operation accounts for 25%, the weight of technology research and development accounts for 20%, the weight of product application accounts for 30%, and the weight of team composition accounts for15% and marketing 10%.
Industry development prospects and trend predictions
1. It is still in the introduction period
Currently, my country’s blockchain industry is in the introduction period, and the industry is showing Two main characteristics: First, large industry companies are actively applying blockchain technology to improve their own businesses, but they are still mainly trying, and the main application scenarios are also non-core businesses in the industry. For example, enterprises such as Ping An of China, China UnionPay, and Ant Financial are limited to non-core businesses in their exploration of blockchain applications; secondly, the business development of enterprises focusing on blockchain technology services is mostly in the initial stage, and their product technology systems and The business model is not mature enough, and the demand side’s understanding of blockchain needs to be improved. Blockchain has already formed some application cases in scenarios such as judicial certificate storage, government affairs management, people's livelihood services, food traceability, supply chain management, etc., but it still needs to be further optimized and improved.
The above data refers to the "China Blockchain Industry Market Foresight and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report" by the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute.
B. Blockchain Encyclopedia: The Past and Present of Blockchain - 3.0 Era
The representative of the blockchain 1.0 era is Bitcoin, and the representative of the 2.0 era is Ethereum. And the troubled times of various copycats and air coins. Blockchain 3.0 is the era of consumer-level blockchain that has truly entered commercial and physical applications after the troubled times. The typical symbol is the emergence of tokens. The pass has brought about changes in traditional business models and production relations. The pass has moved from the digital world to the real economy and has begun to seek practical applications in various industries.
The pass has three elements, one of which is indispensable.
Pass: The pass can be circulated on a large scale in a network and can be verified anytime and anywhere; Certificate: As a proof of digital rights and interests, the pass must be a certificate of rights and interests that exists in digital form, and it must represent It is a right, an inherent and intrinsic value; value: the token must have economic value.
In this way, the meaning of "token economy" is not difficult to understand. The token economy is a large-scale group collaboration based on tokens. It maximizes the role of tokens, allows every role that creates value to share value fairly, fully mobilizes participation motivation, and forms a self-organizing form.
Major changes in the blockchain 3.0 era
The token economy has laid the theoretical basis and technical support for the large-scale application of blockchain, and the future world will also be transformed by it. Large-scale changes include:
1. Fragmented investment, fragmented income, subverting the traditional way of doing business on the Internet. In the traditional Internet era, it was impossible for ordinary people to participate in the investment of a company, but the emergence of blockchain allows ordinary people to make fragmented investments in a large asset. Assume that Alibaba originally adopted blockchainFragmented investment, then all the fragmented shareholders who invested in Alibaba can today reap a return on investment that has increased thousands of times!
2. Break the money-burning model of the Internet and make everyone a winner. The free model of the traditional Internet is essentially to obtain a large number of users through free products to form monopolies and barriers, and then make profits through advertising and value-added services on this basis. In the blockchain 3.0 era, project income is redistributed by issuing tokens to attract more early investors and community users. As the number of users holding tokens increases, the value of the tokens will become higher and higher, and community users, investors, and projects can all benefit from it. In this way, the money-burning model of providing free services in the early days of the traditional Internet can also be improved, and everyone will become a winner.
3. Breaking down the traditional corporate organizational hierarchy, self-organization may become a future trend. In the blockchain 3.0 era, through the establishment of distribution and collaboration mechanisms through smart contracts, it can be more efficient and accurate than enterprises. All token owners will naturally form a community. Everyone has the same goal - "to promote the development of the project and make it a success". They are all members of the community, contribute to the community, promote the value-added of the token, and thus gain benefits together. profit. From a philosophical perspective, this new self-organizing community of freedom, independence, and equality must be the future trend. Gojoy blockchain e-commerce is a blockchain self-organized community. Every consumer is a token owner and a fragmented investor, so he is very happy to co-create and build Gojoy value.
Therefore, we can look forward to the era of great development of the blockchain 3.0 token economy, and the existing ones may be subverted. What we need to be prepared for is to work hard to embrace the blockchain. If you want to seize the trend of blockchain and understand how to transform into blockchain, please leave a message to communicate and we will take you to learn the blockchain professional certification course.
C. Blockchain news on July 22: Musk holds Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin
1. Tesla CEO Elon Musk The Word said at the conference that it makes sense to support something that improves the quality of the information we manage the economy. Bitcoin is a candidate product. One needs to be wary of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, which consumes so much energy. Musk said: “In general, I support Bitcoin.
2. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at The Word conference that he personally owns Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin. Musk said: “I may buy it, but I won’t sell it. I want to see Bitcoin succeed. "In addition, he revealed that Tesla and SpaceX hold Bitcoin. It is reported that because SpaceX is privately held, it was not previously known that the space exploration technology company also held some cryptocurrencies.
3 . Golden Finance reported that Tesla CEO Elon MasGram said at The Word conference that neither Tesla, SpaceX nor I will sell any Bitcoin. Tesla will likely continue to accept Bitcoin payments. Musk said that it seems that Bitcoin is turning more to renewable energy, with a trend of switching to more than 50% renewable energy. In this case, Tesla will resume accepting Bitcoin. In addition, Musk said that he is a fan of decentralized finance.
4. Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Fund, said at The Word conference: “Bitcoin is the solution to inflation. I really believe that Bitcoin will definitely be better than gold mining or the traditional financial services industry. Greener. In many ways, it already is.”
5. Ethereum developers have been working hard to resolve issues with code and clients on testnets in anticipation of the next major network upgrade— Get ready for the London upgrade. On July 21, Ethereum lead developer Tim Beiko released a “London Testnet Review” report detailing the latest progress in the testing phase of the upcoming Ethereum upgrade. According to reports, OpenEthereum clients noticed their nodes stopped functioning on the Ropsten testnet on July 21. After investigation, the problem is not with this client, but with the go-ethereum protocol and the Geth client, which checks the sender balance of the EIP-1559 transaction. It is reported that some clients rejected the block at the time, while others accepted the block and continued processing: "Specifically, OpenEthereum and Besu rejected the transaction/block, while Nethermind, go-ethereum and Erigon accepted them." The issue was later fixed by adding new assertions to the validity of EIP-1559 transactions, and testing continues. It is reported that the test was first activated on the Ropsten test network on June 24; earlier this month, the Rinkeby test network also launched the final testing phase.
6. Tesla CEO Musk said that modern nuclear power plants are safe and supports the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity to mine Bitcoin.
7. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is working on a "phased rollout" of India's central bank digital currency (CBDC) — a digital rupee, possible in the future, T Rabi Shankar, deputy governor of the Reserve Bank of India, said on Thursday. Conduct a pilot. The Reserve Bank of India defines CBDC as a digital form of sovereign currency that can be converted into cash or sovereign-backed deposits. The Reserve Bank of India has taken several deliberations on the scope and legal framework of the proposed CBDC, which is likely to co-exist with cash and digital forms of payments. The time for India’s CBDC is approaching. The Reserve Bank of India has carefully assessed the risks, and RBI’s efforts are that, as we move forward, India’s CBDC can reaffirm its leadership in the world’s payment systems. The RBI has taken a closer look at several aspects of launching a universal CBDC, including: what it can be used for; the technology underpinning it (distributed or centralized ledger); the basis for verification (token or account-based); and whether it will be used only by Is it issued by the central bank or by commercial banks? There are also several enabling legal frameworks that need to be considered before launching a CBDC. Importantly, these include amendments to Sections 24, 25 and 26 of the RBI Act, as well as provisions of the Coinage Act, 2011, the Foreign Exchange Management Act and the Information Technology Act. The RBI has been exploring the pros and cons of issuing an Indian sovereign CBDC for a long time. The RBI looked at the purpose-specific CBDCs proposed by different central banks around the world for the wholesale and retail sectors. The launch of a population-scale universal CBDC is being considered, and the Reserve Bank of India is working on a phased introduction strategy and looking at use cases with little disruption to the Indian banking and monetary system. Shankar added that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin do not meet the RBI’s definition of currency and that one reason why central banks around the world are trying to use CBDC is that they want to minimize the risks cryptocurrencies pose to the fiat economy.
8. Sources say JPMorgan Chase is allowing all of its wealth management clients to access cryptocurrency funds. The bank told advisers in a memo earlier this week that as of July 19, they can now accept buy and sell orders for five cryptocurrency products, four from Grayscale Investments and one from Osprey Funds. The move applies to all JPMorgan Chase clients seeking investment advice, including the bank's proprietary clients who use its commission-free Chase trading app and whose assets are managed by financial advisors affiliated with JPMorgan Advisors, according to a person familiar with the matter. of mass affluent clients, as well as the ultra-affluent clients served by the private bank. JPMorgan advisors can only perform “unsolicited” crypto trades, meaning advisors cannot recommend products but can buy and sell on behalf of clients at their request. According to sources, the funds approved by JPMorgan include Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust, Bitcoin Cash Trust, Ethereum Trust and Ethereum Classic Trust, as well as Osprey funds’ Bitcoin Trust.
D. What stages has the blockchain developed?
The blockchain has developed in five stages
1. Germination stage: The real germination stage of the blockchain was in 2007 By 2009, a Japanese-American with the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto first described a new fantasy report on electronic currency on a cryptography discussion group in 2008 under a different name. Since then, Bitcoin has been born. As early as 2007, Satoshi Nakamoto began to explore a series of new technologies with the intention of creating a new currency. In 2008The Bitcoin white paper was released on October 31, and the Bitcoin system officially began operation on January 3, 2009.
The main technologies supporting the Bitcoin system include hash functions, distributed ledgers, blockchain, and asymmetric encryption; it can be seen that these technologies build the initial version of the blockchain, which can also be said to be a blockchain It is the underlying technology of Bitcoin. In the three years from 2007 to 2009, Bitcoin was in the experimental stage with the participation of a very small number of people, and real commercial activities had not really begun.
2. "Geek" niche stage: The "Geek" here refers to people who are enthusiastic about Internet technology and who regard technological innovation as their fashion and life. The first Bitcoin exchange appeared on February 6, 2010. On May 22 of the same year, someone bought 2 burgers with 10,000 Bitcoins. On July 17 of the same year, the exchange Mt. Gox was established. This marks As Bitcoin officially flows into the market. Despite this, the only people who can truly understand and enter the market to participate in Bitcoin buying and selling are geeks who are passionate about Internet technology. They discuss Bitcoin technology on forums, mine Bitcoins on their computers, and then buy and sell Bitcoins on Mt. Gox. Today, these geeks have become billionaires.
3. Market brewing stage: At the beginning of 2013, the price of Bitcoin was US$13. However, on March 18 of the same year, the Cyprus government closed banks and the stock market due to the financial crisis, causing the price of Bitcoin to soar. In April, the highest price rose to US$266. . On August 20 of the same year, the German government confirmed the currency status of Bitcoin. On October 14, the Chinese Internet announced the opening of a Bitcoin payment channel. In November, the U.S. Senate hearing also clarified the legality of Bitcoin. On November 19, the price of Bitcoin It rose to $1,242, forming a new high. Despite this, the foundation for blockchain to enter the mainstream social economy is not yet available, and the surge in Bitcoin prices is only due to overly optimistic expectations. The containment of China's banking system, the collapse of Mt.Gox and other events caused the price of Bitcoin to continue to fall. In early 2015, the price of Bitcoin had fallen below 200 US dollars. From 2013 to early 2015, the public began to understand Bitcoin and blockchain.
4. Blockchain mainstream period: Britain left the EU on June 23, 2016, North Korea’s fifth nuclear test in September, Trump’s election in November and other events. The uncertainty of the world’s mainstream economy has led to risk aversion. Functional Bitcoin began to recover. The market demand was large and the increase in transaction volume caused the price of Bitcoin to soar from a maximum of 400 US dollars in 2016 to 20,000 US dollars in 2017. The wealth-making effect of Bitcoin and the transaction overflow caused by the congestion of the Bitcoin network It has led to the explosion of other series of virtual currencies, and various blockchain applications have also exploded. There have been many blockchain assets that are a hundred times, even a thousand times, or ten thousand times, triggering a crazy pursuit around the world, and then Chicago The launch of Bitcoin futures trading on the commodity exchange marks Bitcoin’s official entry into the mainstream investment product series, and Bitcoin and blockchain have completely entered the global spotlight.
5. Industrial implementation stage: After the market frenzy in 2017, virtual currency and blockchain made adjustments in terms of market, supervision, and cognition in 2018, returning to rationality. Many blockchain projects that imitate blockchain technology in 2017 will gradually die out as the market cools down, and projects with real practical blockchain applications will initially be implemented. 2018 is not only the first year of blockchain, but also a blockchain gold rush period. After the big waves wash away the sand, what remains is relatively good gold.
From the perspective of the history of blockchain development, blockchain technology is not yet mature and is currently in the growth stage. Specific practical applications of blockchain are only used in the financial field. To apply blockchain to other industries, there is still need for There is a journey to go, but the blockchain trend should be grasped. There are advantages and disadvantages in actively learning the new field of blockchain.
E. Which year is called the first year of blockchain strategy
2018 is considered the first year of blockchain. Blockchain is the core supporting technology of the digital cryptocurrency system represented by Bitcoin. The core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization. It can realize point-to-point transactions based on decentralized credit in a distributed system where nodes do not need to trust each other by using data encryption, timestamps, distributed consensus and economic incentives. Coordination and collaboration, so as to solve the common problems of centralized institutions
F. Without issuing coins or touching ICO, how can Ant Chain trigger the largest industrial on-chain trend
This article is authorized Reprinted from Pinwan
I don’t know when it started, but the blockchain has become a collection of huge numbers. With trillions of dollars in assets, billions of nodes and hundreds of millions of users, this new technology, which was born more than ten years ago, has become a behemoth in the eyes of the global IT industry and media.
It seems that a person who has not participated in DeFi, has not studied DAO, and has not chatted about web3 in a cafe has become a sin in the career of an Internet person. Just like a British soldier in the 20th century who has never set foot on the mainland; or a Spanish sailor in the 19th century who has never set foot on the Americas, he has not received the generosity God has given to this profession.
In the past June, three interesting things happened in the blockchain world. Perhaps looking back many years later, the milestones in the history of the development of blockchain technology are implicit in it:
The Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike has led to the collapse of many cryptocurrencies, especially those that were regarded as stable coins in mid-May. After Luna was almost wiped out in value, the price of Bitcoin accelerated its decline in June, with the overall price falling by more than 75%;
On June 23, Solana, the world’s most powerful blockchain, posted on social media Shangguan announced that it will launch the web3 smartphone "Saga" and a customized web3 mobile operating system and Dapp application store;
These two major events in the web3 world are considered to be the coming of the "bear market" ,softA switching of power between software and hardware, application bubble and underlying design. The web3 companies that have suffered heavy losses must "change their minds" and start with more pragmatic consumer applications to obtain more real and valuable customers. And this behavior of moving from fiction to reality and continuing to seek value from entities may become one of the ways for blockchain to survive the potential "bear market".
In the context of the above-mentioned blockchain world, the third event seems quite meaningful:
On June 24, China’s largest blockchain technology platform, owned by Ant Group The Ant Chain announced that the scale of its "physical devices" on the chain has exceeded 5 million units.
This is the "first time" that "physical assets" in industrial blockchains have been uploaded on such a large scale globally, and it is also an unprecedented breakthrough in the scale of "physical assets". Before this, no one has ever been able to operate physical equipment on the chain on such a large scale.
That’s right, 5 million.
How long has it been since you heard numbers like 5 million in technology news in the web3 world? Looking back at the development history of web3, the last time Bitcoin users exceeded 5 million was in 2017; today, this number has exceeded 200 million. In countries like South Korea, the proportion of cryptocurrency users among the total young population exceeds 20%. Even some large DAO organizations and Dapp applications are close to or even exceed this number.
However, the development of blockchain technology on the industrial side is different from that on the consumer side. The latter is "booming" due to the blessing of cryptocurrency, while the former needs to understand the pain points of the industry and advance scenario by scenario. It requires hard work and is more difficult to enter large-scale commercial use.
This time, the first 5 million in this industrial blockchain can be said to be a milestone number. This means that the physical assets on the chain have passed large-scale verification - a new door to the blockchain has opened.
Lonely Industrial Blockchain
First of all, the industry has very high requirements for segmented scenarios, which means that it is difficult for service providers to meet them with the same set of standardized technical means. All needs from all walks of life. Whether it is DeFI or DAO (Note: Decentralized Autonomous Organization), a general technical model can be used to cope with large enough demand scenarios.
But for industrial blockchains, sometimes customizing a specialized industry scenario requires a lot of time and energy. Take the cooperation between Ant Chain and Chery as an example. Due to the demand for device memory and bandwidth, Ant Chain needs to compress the memory resources of the code from 300KB to 1.5KB in order to meet the requirements of the "car chain".
This kind of "perverted" code optimization demand at the level of "stuffing an elephant into the refrigerator" is unimaginable for developers such as blockchain currencies. This also shows from the side that in the industrial blockchain, cross-How difficult will it be to achieve universal interaction across chains and across devices?
Secondly, the industry has extremely high requirements for the safety, stability, and economy of the chain. This was almost an "impossible triangle" in the past.
Taking Bitcoin as an example, in order to maintain the continuous stability and reliability of the Bitcoin world, major mining farms around the world consume more than 149 terawatt-hours of electricity every year for this encryption system of 21 million currencies. If Bitcoin were a country, its electricity consumption would be comparable to Vietnam, which would rank roughly 25th in the world, equivalent to the power generation of 1.5 Three Gorges Dams. If the social electricity price of 8 cents per kilowatt hour is shared equally in my country, the cost would be 120 billion yuan a year.
For Bitcoin, as long as someone pays the bill, the game can continue. But for industrial blockchain, it is impossible to find any market entity to pay for such crazy operation and maintenance costs. Even if there is, it is not in line with the social responsibility of industrial carbon reduction. Rigid cost-benefit is a red line across the industrial blockchain.
In addition, the industry is also very cautious about encryption requirements. This is a very heavy trust, because the blockchain means a decentralized counting method. Once the system is breached by malicious hackers, it will cause complex losses. The economic model the company builds on this may have holes.
This means that unlike wallets where blockchain currencies are dispersed on different terminal devices, the platform focuses more on algorithms. In addition to strengthening encryption capabilities in terms of algorithms, industrial blockchain companies also need to provide encryption services for a full set of equipment such as information collection & modeling, terminal computing equipment, and information transmission. And every aspect of this is a large, customized project.
Involving complex hardware scenarios is a troublesome matter in itself. Let's take a car as an example. There are interferences caused by complex electronic components inside the car. At the same time, the temperature control conditions of the vehicle components during driving must also be taken into consideration.
In short, the blockchain industry is not on the same level as blockchain currency in terms of actual implementation difficulty or early technology investment costs; but for the platform’s income, there is only one after-sales service. A fraction of that. Everyone knows that using blockchain technology in the digital upgrading of the industry is "technologically practical" and is the right thing to do, but everyone knows better that this is also a difficult thing.
The "Lonely Warrior" in the blockchain
A direct consequence of the difficulty of "industrial blockchain" is that many top talents have flowed to web3. According to statistics, approximately 34,000 developers will join DeFi in 2021, including many employees from leading Internet companies such as Google, Apple, and Facebook who will join full-time.
Compared with the flourishing of web3, the dynamics of industrial blockchain are obviously a bit deserted. On the one hand, many large technology companies look down on these unprofitable ""Dirty work", on the other hand, it is difficult for start-up teams to support the huge sunk costs and expensive market education expenses. In the global industrial blockchain field, there are still no decent unicorns.
However, although industrial blockchain is full of difficulties, the problems on the industrial side will not disappear just because developers flee.
In many industrial scenarios, blockchain is still regarded as opening up the industry. The best solution for data barriers in China.
Taking the logistics system of goods as an example, our country has almost both the world's most segmented manufacturing base and the world's most complex commodity circulation market. This "complexity "On the one hand, it is of course the result of the diversity of retail formats. On the other hand, it is also due to the opacity of circulation information. The data of a product's entire link from raw materials, manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, and sales terminals is broken. Open, fragmented information islands are formed at each node. Every year, large consumer brands spend tens of millions in consulting fees to obtain very coarse-grained Chinese retail data that is obtained by heavy labor costs.
After all, no centralized data center can solve such complex data circulation problems, but industrial blockchain can.
Or take my country’s large energy industry network as an example. The power grid itself is a super-large distributed computing system. Especially since my country has focused on developing the distributed photovoltaic power generation industry in recent years, this distributed trend will become even more intense; on the other hand, on the user side, new energy vehicles and battery swap stations The emerging consumer network formed by mobile phones, superchargers and batteries is naturally a distributed form.
The participating entities and data types are all complex, so the best way is naturally to use distributed Computing network to cope with the demand for distributed computing power.
From the perspective of business common sense, big problems and big opportunities are often equated. Or it may come from the simple concept of a Chinese IT person , after all, the problem is there, someone has to do it. Although this kind of persistence seems a bit lonely compared to the surging tide of web3, this may be an inevitable necessity. It is probably like a certain business boss spreading A famous saying by Shi Guang:
"Loneliness is sometimes priceless."
Therefore, there are still many Chinese industrial blockchain companies that stick to it, washing away the halo of valuation myths. , they are waiting for a tomorrow together.
The disclosed milestone of "Ant Chain" exceeding 5 million physical devices on the chain is actually focusing on "on-chain" in the new energy industry, covering new Energy vehicles, solar photovoltaics, new energy batteries and other industries. Establishing a top-level industrial blockchain on the top-level industrial chain may be an important trend in China's blockchain industry in the future.
Obviously, The "ant chains" are trying to take over the stick handed to them by the times. When Columbus discovered the American continent, the most people who went to the Americas were trying to colonize and gold mine; but ColumbusAlthough he did not publish himself, he persisted in exploring Central America and discovered South America on his third voyage.
Columbus may not have been the richest man of his time, but he is a name the world will remember.
Why "Ant Chain"
What many people don't know is that Ant Group has been the largest exporter of patents in the global blockchain industry for many years. On the one hand, Ant Chain does have a strong investment in the blockchain; on the other hand, this is also related to the fact that Ant Chain does have a lot to do.
If you take a closer look at “Ant Chain”, you may be amazed at the company’s all-round and no-dead investment. It almost single-handedly managed to survive the trough of the “industrial blockchain” in The industry alone has planted a big forest. This is probably like what Liu Yu said, "Turning one person into a team."
The reason why Ant Chain was able to be the first to complete the launch of 5 million physical devices is inseparable from this all-round technical layout capability.
For example, when physical devices are put on the chain, a lot of communication collaboration with IOT technologies will be involved.
As early as June 2021, Ant Chain launched the first batch of wireless communication modules AntChain MaaS, which allows terminal devices to automatically connect to the blockchain through a root of trust based on the unique characteristics of the device and conduct the entire process. encryption. In July, Ant Chain then released the high-speed communication network BTN (Blockchain Transmission Network), which has become a high-throughput, low-bandwidth cost blockchain “highway”.
This technology of trustworthy data on-chain and throughput capability under large broadband conditions have basically made early communication preparations for the subsequent launch of large-scale physical equipment.
However, this is just a small test of Ant Chain’s many technical reserves.
These achievements and innovative technologies were all achieved in 2021 when "industrial blockchain" was ignored by the public. These investments in underlying technology have, on the one hand, helped Ant Chain achieve the first 5 million “physical devices” on the chain globally; on the other hand, it also indicates that 5 million is just the beginning, just like in 2017 Same as Bitcoin.
Therefore, while people are still discussing the bandwidth and scalability advantages of new public chains such as Solana compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Ant Chain has already achieved a double billion-level on-chain Capabilities - Support 1 billion account sizes, support 1 billion daily transactions, and achieve 100,000 cross-chain information processing capabilities per second (PPS)
When hackers attack ordinary users' Bitcoin wallets, However, web3 still has no hardware solution, and there is nothing that can be done about it. Ant Chain has redesigned a complete set of industrial Internet encryption systems from system architecture, terminals, and chips.
In this process,The world's largest blockchain patent exporter has never supported an ICO or issued a single coin. They built the industrial blockchain while standing up.
In fact, the blockchain itself is a thing that produces efficiency based on trust. As Jiang Guofei, the head of Ant Chain, repeatedly told the media, "Blockchain is a deep-seated trust connection technology, (it "'s mission) is to create better links and new value transfers in all walks of life."
This is the first 5 million of the blockchain, but it is a completely different 5 million from the past understanding. It is a door for a group of lonely Chinese IT people to open the future industry.

H. Has the Zhengzhou GBC fraud case been filed?
The case has been filed.
In July 2018, the police received reports from the public that an online investment and financial management platform called GBC had suddenly closed down and investment funds could not be withdrawn.
After investigation, in March 2018, the criminal suspect Tong designed the computer and mobile versions of the GBC website through a network technology company, and together with Fan, Zhou, Cui and others, used the GBC network platform Developers, in the name of obtaining high profits from buying and selling virtual currencies, induce the developed people to continue to invest funds or continue to develop people and benefit from it. As of the incident, the platform had developed a total of 60,000 members in 16 provinces and municipalities across the country.The project capital is 3.3 billion yuan.
In August 2018, Zhengzhou police launched an investigation into the GBC network platform for allegedly organizing and leading pyramid schemes. After a centralized and unified operation, 6 main suspects were arrested and frozen It has more than 110 bank accounts, frozen funds of more than 70 million yuan, received more than 3,000 inquiry calls from all over the country, and accepted more than 1,200 registered customer information.
(8) Blockchain 2018 July Form Extended Reading:
GBC, as a virtual online trading platform, attracts many investors offline in an illegal form that is suspected of being a pyramid scheme. . After a large amount of investment, the system collapsed and many investors lost their money.
GBC is the abbreviation of Gain Blockchain Coin, which can be translated as "value-added blockchain coin". This is a "blockchain virtual currency trading" platform that claims to help e-commerce merchants realize their wealth dreams and bring miracles in life. It is announced that the GPG Group, headquartered in Glasgow, UK, serves more than 20 countries.
The gameplay of GBC, simply put, requires people to continuously purchase "GBC coins". First of all, you need to register on the App of the GBC platform with the registration code given by the person who invited you. There is a registration fee of 200 yuan, and the online "boss" will collect the money and give the code. Then first purchase at least 2,000 yuan of "wealth coins".
After purchasing financial management, you can further purchase GBC coins, GBC coins are 2,000 yuan each. However, during this period, there needs to be a "matching period" to connect with the previous "investor" who invested money. Because in the operation, the GBC coins purchased by each person were sold by the previous buyer.
After matching during the matching period, you can wait for the benefits. The entire GBC currency purchase process is divided into static income and dynamic income.
Static income, 4 days is an investment cycle, the interest for one round is 10%, you can reinvest after one round, and the annual compound interest exceeds 10,000%. The dynamic part is the commission fee for attracting people. If you directly attract a person to invest, you can get a 6% commission of the investment amount; if the person you bring in also brings people to invest, you can also receive a 5% commission. By analogy, in the seventh round, you can still receive a 0.7% commission.
Calculated in this way, the profit rate is very impressive. For static income, if you invest 2,000 yuan, you can earn 200 yuan in ten days; and for dynamic income, you will receive dynamic bonuses based on the number of people you bring in. The more, the higher the yield.
GBC’s marketing model has a strong MLM flavor, but the huge high profits make many unemployed people and the middle and lower classes shine, so they will continue to attract friends and strangers to join.
In the WeChat group where the "investor" belongs, on the surface it seems that it is always full of positive energy, and uses "blockchain" as a publicity gimmick to vigorously promote GBC, which makes people easily confused. in. On the evening of July 23, 2018, the departmentThe system collapsed, causing the "investors" to lose all their money.
In August 2018, the police launched an investigation into the GBC online platform for allegedly organizing and leading pyramid schemes. After a centralized and unified operation, 6 main criminal suspects were arrested, more than 110 bank accounts were frozen, more than 70 million yuan in frozen funds, more than 3,000 inquiries and calls from all over the country were received, and more than 1,200 customer information were accepted and registered.
I. What are the prospects of blockchain?
The application of blockchain has extended to many fields such as medical health, education, charity, social management, and finance. The biggest advantage of blockchain is that it truly completes the construction of credit in an anonymous society, bringing new opportunities to many fields, thus making various innovative applications possible. . The current blockchain is equivalent to the Internet 20 years ago. It is in its preliminary stage. In the future, it will definitely become a major part of the social economy and be used to benefit the people and society. Please wait and see!
Blockchain is an intelligent peer-to-peer network that uses distributed databases to identify, disseminate and record information, also known as the Internet of Value. The concept of blockchain was first proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in his paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" published on the Bitcoin Forum in late 2008.
It is a chain data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential manner in chronological order, and is cryptographically guaranteed to be an untamperable and unforgeable distributed ledger.
Broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses block chain data structures to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithms to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access. A new distributed infrastructure and computing method that uses smart contracts composed of automated script codes to program and manipulate data.
Blockchain Investment
Blockchain investment is indeed one of the hottest investment methods in today’s society. Although blockchain seems to have just started, as such a novel existence, it It is indeed very unique. Many people don’t know what blockchain is. They only know that blockchain mining can make money, so they follow it in a fog. But to achieve a truly safe investment, I suggest that everyone still Understand it first, prepare well before taking action, and don’t fight an unprepared battle.
Blockchain technology does have huge room for growth in the future. Many people believe that it will be able to subvert many existing industries in the future. This is very important. This is the source of all your confidence. If you If you don’t recognize the value of blockchain from the bottom of your heart, then you are likely to be affected by some negative remarks and even doubt the entire industry, which will affect your entire decision-making and judgment.
If you just want to play casually or test the water, the chance of success is very small.
Once you are determined, be prepared and spend all your precious energy on research. Investment is a mustYou have to do your homework! Never invest money without knowing what the project is about.
Finally, the blockchain is a new industry after all. It is currently in a mixed situation, and of course there are scammers. Therefore, when we invest, we must be careful and do not accept what others say. Bright eyes.
In addition, I still have to say that investment is risky, so you must be cautious!
J. What are the illegal fund-raising activities carried out in the name of blockchain?
“The situation of financial crimes committed in the name of Internet finance is becoming increasingly serious.” Director of the Economic Crime Prosecution Department of the Beijing Municipal Procuratorate, Prosecutor Jiang Shuzhen told reporters that in recent years, the number of cases of setting up self-financing platforms under the guise of P2P and financing themselves by issuing false debt transfer projects has increased year by year, and the harm is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, illegal fund-raising in the name of virtual currency and blockchain has also begun to occur.
Jiang Shuzhen analyzed that financial crime cases currently still have problems such as difficulty in investigation and evidence collection and many disputes over the application of law. For example, in illegal fund-raising cases, the amount of evidence collected is large, cross-regional evidence collection is difficult, and there are disputes between crime and non-crime, individual crime and unit crime, etc.
In addition, financial laws and regulations lag behind the regulation of new financial industries such as Internet finance. Jiang Shuzhen gave an example. For example, illegal and criminal activities using virtual currency as gimmicks such as "Huaqiang Coin" and "Five Elements Coin" have recently appeared. On September 4, 2017, seven ministries and commissions including the central bank jointly issued the "Guidelines on Preventing Token Issuance and Financing Risks." Announcement", which promptly reminded the public to be wary of the risks and hazards of token issuance, financing and trading, which has a good effect. But what is the meaning of tokens? Specifically, what kind of illegal activities are regulated by illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes, etc. , there is still a lack of law enforcement regulations. In view of the problems exposed in new business formats such as Internet finance and blockchain, relevant laws and regulations should be improved as soon as possible to promote the effective connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice.
