A construction project, from design to construction, to delivery, has to go through different stages and be operated by different people. Relying on natural contracts, it is easy to be constrained by factors such as human friction and wrangling, reducing work efficiency. Once there is a problem in the building, how to accurately pursue the responsibility has become a real problem, and blockchain technology will solve these problems to a great extent.
With the blessing of blockchain technology and the introduction of distributed ledger, all historical information of the whole life cycle of the building is recorded on the blockchain, which can realize the full traceability of the data and cannot be tampered with. The natural contract is made into a smart contract. Once a problem occurs , Data can be traced, accountability can be accurately pursued, and the value of the building can be accurately evaluated. The blockchain is connected to the bank, and the smart contract is executed to the payment stage, and the payment voucher can be directly generated, or even the payment can be made directly.
Recently, a journalist from Dazhong.com.cn in the office of Dr. Wu Ming, co-founder and CTO of the Shanghai Shutu Blockchain Research Institute, conducted interviews and exchanges with Wu Ming on the application scenarios of blockchain technology in the construction industry. On September 3 this year, Shanghai Treemap Blockchain Research Institute signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Architectural Society and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, which opened the blockchain in the construction life chain management and bank storage pledge, deposit certificate, traceability and other blocks Landing exploration on chain applications. "Looking at the world, we have been at the forefront of public chain technology, especially in the application of the construction industry. The system is relatively mature and is preparing to start application." Wu Ming, co-founder and CTO of the Institute, told reporters.
As a blockchain research institution established at the beginning of this year, Shanghai Treemap Blockchain Research Institute already has a fully decentralized blockchain underlying public chain system based on independent intellectual property rights-the Conflux blockchain The underlying system, relying on this blockchain platform, the Institute continues to expand research on the underlying basic technology of blockchain, hoping to try the direction of blockchain application in the open environment of Shanghai, and empower all walks of life.
The young team brings together the best global field of computer systems the direction of Chinese scientists , Asian unique Turing Award winner Yao academician chief scientist, the core technical team members are from Tsinghua University. Take Dr. Wu Ming as an example. He has worked in Microsoft Research Asia for 11 years and has become a senior researcher in the system research group. However, in order to "do something about the blockchain application," Dr. Wu Ming resigned in 2018 regardless of Microsoft's retention and formed an elite team in Beijing to devote himself to the development and research of blockchain industry applications. At the beginning of this year, his team was introduced by the Shanghai Municipal Government and established the Shanghai Shutu Blockchain Research Institute.
In Wu Ming's view, the blockchain has gone through the "disenchantment" stage and is entering the public's field of vision. However , under the requirements of security and decentralization, the performance optimization of the public chain system has encountered bottlenecks, making it practically applied. Encountered many obstacles. How to block chain in ensuring the safety of the premise , to enhance public chain performance? Tree block chain Conflux Institute breakthroughs in research and technology underlying the application of the system block chain basis , to pen 3000-6000 per second transaction throughput, breaking the chain block chains well in terms of performance Technical bottleneck. The second phase of the network has only been online for two months , and more than 1,600 network nodes have spontaneously joined in the global community.
On the basis of technological breakthroughs, Shanghai Tree Map Research Institute has been committed to exploring the implementation of technology , and actively building a public, open and high-performance public chain underlying platform for various application scenarios, so that the blockchain will move from a technical hot word to a mature application. Wu Ming told reporters that the development momentum of blockchain technology industry applications mainly comes from industry needs. Tree is actively communicate with the manufacturing, financial services, housing rental industry in different sectors , according to the business needs of different scenarios, development of the corresponding block chain applications.
In Wu Ming’s view, blockchain technology itself is of great value to social development , but technology is a long-term process. Technology alone is not enough. The industrial stage is faced with complete applications and requires a complete set of data. Processing system. In addition, how the development of blockchain solves security issues , how to grasp policy regulatory issues, etc., also need Wu Ming and team members to consider. "Our core technical team has a total of more than a dozen people with strong learning ability . In this industry, the domestic team represented by us is on the same starting line as the international peers. Our vision is that the Chinese people are Leadership , not followers." Wu Ming said.
