Not long ago, Hangzhou launched the country's first blockchain electronic seal application platform. This means that the risk of the electronic "radish seal" can be completely resolved-Hangzhou enterprise electronic seals will be desensitized on the chain, realizing that a physical seal corresponds to a blockchain electronic seal, and the use of the seal is truly traceable and cannot be tampered with .
This is a microcosm of the application of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology, which has the characteristics of traceability, openness and transparency, is the underlying technology of the new infrastructure in the digital economy, and it is also a key industry in Hangzhou to build the "first city of digital economy".
With the rapid development of the digital economy, the era of blockchain commercial use is accelerating. At last year's Yunqi Conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ant Group made a prediction: this time next year, the number of people that blockchain can serve in China will exceed 100 million. Today, the Ant Blockchain has been upgraded to the "Ant Chain", with more than 100 million "chains" per day, which is more closely connected with social and economic development such as inclusive finance, people's livelihood services, e-commerce, and public welfare.
AntChain helps solve trust problems in more than 50 scenarios
During the epidemic this year, Zhejiang Province moved the first batch of electronic donation receipts from five charity foundations to AntChain. There is a one-to-one correspondence between every donation received by a public welfare organization and every bill issued.
This upgrade of the public welfare supervision mechanism comes from the empowerment of AntChain. In fact, the first landing scenario of AntChain is also in the public welfare field. In 2016, Ant Group cooperated with the China Social Relief Foundation to launch the first blockchain public welfare fundraising project "Hearing Impaired Children" on the Alipay Love Donation Platform Regain a new voice" to realize the traceability of the flow of donations, and improve the transparency and trust of public welfare.
According to data, the fundraising speed of blockchain public welfare projects tested afterwards has reached twice the speed of ordinary projects.
From the deployment of blockchain in 2015 to the present, Ant Group has become the vane of blockchain technology research and development and commercial use . Its self-developed blockchain engine Antchain has built the largest blockchain productivity platform in China, capable of supporting 1 billion account scale, 1 billion daily transaction volume and 100,000 cross-chain message processing capabilities per second.
Not long ago, Jing Xiandong, Chairman of Ant Group, shared the three key achievements of AntChain: technically, AntChain has maintained the first place in the number of global patent applications per year for four consecutive years; in application, AntChain has helped Solve the trust problem of more than 50 actual scenarios ; in business, AntChain currently "chains" more than 100 million times a day.
"In the past 16 years, the most important product of Ant is to build trust." Jing Xiandong said that the technological charm of blockchain lies in building trust, and blockchain must solve social problems.
It is reported that AntChain has implemented more than 50 scenarios including public welfare donations, food safety, authenticity traceability , cross-border remittances, etc., playing an important role in the development of the real economy, serving the society and people's livelihood, and digital economy innovation.
Blockchain empowers new development of digital economy
As an important infrastructure of the digital economy, blockchain is one of the strategic industries that Hangzhou focuses on . Incorporating blockchain into the government work report, building the country’s first blockchain industrial park, establishing the country’s first tens of billions of RMB-scale blockchain innovation fund... As early as 2017, Hangzhou had already set up a “first move”. Actively promote the application of blockchain in the fields of commerce and finance, people's livelihood services, and intelligent manufacturing.
Nowadays, Hangzhou has formed a relatively complete blockchain development ecology, and blockchain companies have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain . Innovative applications such as Internet courts, financial service platforms for small and medium-sized enterprises, and e-government 3.0 have made Hangzhou the first block chain development in the country.
At the Yunqi Conference last year, Jiang Guofei, vice president of Ant Group and head of the technical laboratory, pointed out that the amount of on-chain will be an important indicator of the prosperity of the digital economy. This is because, with the development of new technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing , information continues to be digitized, assets continue to be digitized, and data is becoming an asset. The essence of blockchain is to build a trust mechanism, which can provide a very good foundation for online asset circulation and transactions.
Jiang Guofei believes that the future application of blockchain will be pan-industry . Where data and value need to be transferred, where efficiency is relatively low and processes are particularly long, the development speed is particularly fast.
Today, the ant chain "chains" more than 100 million times a day. It is foreseeable that , in the context of the digital economy era of rapid digitization of all walks of life, "the chain" has become a new "standard" day "on the amount of the chain" will soon be doubled to achieve.
