In recent years, with the development of science and technology, more and more high-tech has begun to come into people's field of vision, and blockchain technology, one of the most cutting-edge technologies at present, is deploying into people's daily life with its vigorous trend Living.
At present, blockchain technology has already moved from purely technical exploration to the stage of application landing. Many companies and technical teams related to it have already appeared in various countries around the world. Some companies have already explored unique application scenarios through their own businesses, and more and more companies are still in the stage of courageous exploration and verification.
In fact, to find a suitable application scenario, one has to consider the characteristics of the blockchain technology itself.
Shilian Finance (shilian.com) understands that without the introduction of a third-party agency, the blockchain can guarantee the characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering, safety and reliability. Therefore, any activities that directly or indirectly rely on third-party guarantee companies may benefit from blockchain technology.
It is worth noting that the blockchain itself maintains a data record that grows steadily in chronological order and cannot be tampered with. When funds in the real or digital world can be converted into digital summaries, the blockchain becomes an application for confirming rights. The perfect carrier for digital evidence including ownership and time stamps. Programmable smart contracts enable funds registered on the blockchain to obtain liquidity that cannot be given in the real world, and can ensure the transparency and immutability of contract rules. This provides soil for more and more innovative economic activities to emerge on the blockchain, providing a more secure, reliable and efficient flow channel for the value of social resources.
Beyond that, the boundaries of rationality for blockchain solutions must also be considered. When facing mass consumers, blockchain applications must be open, transparent, and auditable. Not only need to consider building a borderless public chain, but also consider building blocks jointly maintained by multi-center nodes in the application ecosystem chain. In the face of commercial blockchain scenarios within an enterprise or among many companies, the maintenance nodes and visibility of the blockchain should be limited to within the alliance, and smart contracts should be used to focus on dealing with issues of trust or information asymmetry among alliance members to increase the efficiency of economic activities.
The prospect of blockchain technology is so good. In the next few years, what are the scenarios of blockchain technology that can be implemented in real time? The following are some scenarios compiled by the editor that may be the widespread implementation of blockchain technology in the future.
The first is financial services. Everyone knows that the potential competitive advantages generated by the blockchain include reducing transaction costs and reducing security risks in cross-institutional transactions. The blockchain application in this industry is attracting the most attention at this stage, and many financial institutions around the world are basically the main advocates. Some venture capital institutions are also using blockchain technology to reduce management costs and control security risks. On the other hand, pay attention to possible problems and hidden dangers. For example, DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is the largest crowdfunding project in history, relying on blockchain technology to ensure the control and promotion of funds. However, formally such a crowdfunding project experiment reminds users that they need to be careful in both project and operation.
Followed by credit and ownership management. The digital management of credit and title is very popular in the large social network platforms and the insurance industry. This is because at this stage, the primary technical problem in this field is not only the lack of sufficient information and analysis capabilities, but also the lack of reliable platform support and reasonable and effective information integration management. For a long time, the blockchain has been considered as a very safe and reliable cutting-edge technology that can lead the transaction and flow of information. In addition, the threshold of the current credit investigation industry is relatively high, which requires the resources of all parties to lead together.
In addition, resource sharing is also a popular application place for blockchain technology. People in the circle said that sharing economy companies represented by Airbnb are very fond of decentralized applications because they can reduce management costs. The theme style of this industry is relatively concentrated, and the design space is large, which has attracted much attention. Decentralization is the most essential feature of blockchain technology. Therefore, companies such as resource sharing must also be a hot trend in blockchain landing sites.
It is worth noting that the Internet of Things is also one of the popular places for the blockchain to land. Many professionals have revealed that blockchain technology is estimated to have large-scale applications in the next few years, especially in special scenarios such as leasing and logistics, where blockchain technology may often be seen. But at present, the technical limitations of the Internet of Things itself will make it impossible to have large-scale applications in a short period of time.
Of course, in addition to the above application places, there is a great possibility that blockchain technology will be used in trade management. This is because blockchain technology can help automate complex formalities and workflows in the import-export trade and logistics supply chain industries. It is understood that the import and export trade management plan based on the blockchain design concept will bring great convenience to all participating companies. At the same time, the digitization of sales and legal contracts, goods supervision and inspection, and instant payment in import and export trade may all become entry points for start-up companies.
