Blockchain is the cornerstone of building trust and a trusted network for credit transfer and value transfer. Blockchain focuses on building a safe and reliable blockchain infrastructure, allowing enterprises and governments to quickly and efficiently build blockchain networks and industry applications, and realize credible and fast flow of capital flow, logistics, and information flow, and efficient and credible collaboration , to help reduce collaboration costs and improve efficiency;

Blockchain technology helps to promote data sharing, optimize business processes, reduce operating costs, improve collaboration efficiency, and build a credible system. It is a strategic technology that supports the development of the digital economy. High-quality development plays an important role.

" The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated that it is necessary to " build a digital China, accelerate the development of the digital economy, promote the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and create a digital industrial cluster with international competitiveness ." Blockchain technology can help promote data sharing , Optimizing business processes, reducing operating costs, improving collaboration efficiency, and building a credible system are strategic technologies that support the development of the digital economy, and play an important role in implementing new development concepts, building a new development pattern, and promoting high-quality development.

Steady progress in technological innovation

The public chain technology continues to iterate towards the next-generation Internet, promoting more open, efficient and green development.

In terms of technological evolution, the current international mainstream public chain node scale is around 10,000, and the degree of decentralization is relatively high. It mainly focuses on technical optimization in terms of scalability, compatibility, and energy consumption.

In terms of technological innovation, foreign countries have accelerated the technological innovation of public chains guided by Web3.0, leading the technological trends in many fields such as smart contracts, digital identities, and privacy protection.

In terms of technology open source, as of September 2022, the number of popular blockchain projects (more than 300 attention) on the open source project hosting platform Github has reached 761, of which 38% are related to cryptocurrencies.

Consortium chain technology focuses on the continuous optimization of business scenarios, and the development speed is relatively slow.

In terms of technological evolution , typical foreign open source alliance chain projects such as Hyperledger Fabric, Corda, etc. have relatively mature technology accumulation, and the code iteration rate has gradually slowed down since 2021. The domestic alliance chain fully integrates the advantages of foreign open source projects, and the structure, consensus and performance are continuously optimized.

In terms of technological innovation, the alliance chain continues to promote technological upgrades based on the business needs of trusted collaboration. From the perspective of academic research and patent applications, the academic research on blockchain from 2020 to 2022 is shown in the figure, focusing on vertical industry applications, data privacy and data sharing, distributed energy and smart grids.

Distribution of blockchain academic research topics

In terms of technology open source, the Hyperledger Foundation is still the most active alliance chain open source ecosystem. In 2022, the community will follow the industry application trend and be oriented towards Web3.

The application path is becoming clearer

At present, the blockchain revolves around the alliance chain and the public chain technology system, and gradually forms two major models dominated by digital applications of the real economy and digital native applications.

The digital application of the real economy is dominated by the alliance chain, empowering the digital transformation of the industry, and the trend of application diversification is obvious.

In the financial field , large financial institutions and technology companies continue to promote the application innovation of blockchain in trade financing, cross-border finance, payment and settlement and other scenarios.

In the field of energy , blockchain technology is applied to scenarios such as carbon emission traceability and distributed energy management, enabling the transformation and upgrading of energy entities.

In the field of medical and health care , blockchain helps to break through information barriers between institutions and build a credible and safe medical data sharing and exchange system. At the same time, some digital applications of the real economy face the problem of insufficient commercialization capabilities, and continuous operation and promotion encounter challenges.

Digital native applications are dominated by public chains to create a trusted base for the digital native economy, and some applications have formed a certain scale. NFT is the most active application form of model innovation at this stage, and accelerates the process of digital assetization by endowing specific digital items with unique ownership certificates.

The industry is stabilizing and the capital is active

The number of new blockchain companies around the world has declined, the industrial structure has basically taken shape, and China and the United States are in the first echelon. As of September 2022, there are 6,914 blockchain-related companies worldwide. Driven by new technologies such as NFT, Web3.0, and metaverse, the number of new blockchain companies in the world will show a rapid growth momentum in 2021.

The growth trend of the number of global/Chinese blockchain companies

Investment and financing in the global blockchain industry remains active, with significant differences in capital enthusiasm across countries. From 2021 to 2022, the financing scale of global blockchain companies will increase significantly, mainly due to the expansion of financing in the later stages of financing companies in the early stage, as well as the growth in financing of digital asset companies such as NFT.

Accelerate strategic layout in multiple places

Many places around the world have accelerated their strategic layout and actively promoted the development of blockchain digital assets. In recent years, the application of digital assets based on blockchain technology has developed rapidly, and the market scale has continued to expand. Many governments around the world have successively issued relevant policy documents, putting the strategic layout of digital assets on the administrative agenda.
