No matter which technology, the measure of technological maturity lies in the final landing of the technology. For the blockchain industry, what we are most concerned about is what kind of enterprises are suitable to step into the field of blockchain? And what kind of application can solve some of the problems encountered by enterprises and users. At the second Thunderbolt chain Technology Salon held in Hangzhou on October 13, Yin Xiaoliang, Senior Product Manager of Xunlei chain Open platform, gave detailed answers to enterprises, developers and block chain technology enthusiasts.

Yin Xiaoliang first redefined "blockchain". He said that the block chaining that many people routinely understand is to chain up a centralized application, or a centralized case, and use blockchain technology to turn it into a decentralized content. Literally, decentralization is a bit like the concept of culling, dividing a complete picture into many pieces. In fact, the blockchain constructs a new mechanism, this trust body is jointly maintained by all users under the chain, the relationship between each other is mistrust, and this set of common maintenance mechanism is the essence of the blockchain.

Blockchain is not a panacea, but it can play a special role.

How do enterprises carry out "block chaining"? In fact, after blocking the information under the chain, it becomes the trust body on the chain. No matter which kind of requirement, its goal is to solve the core business, and the key consideration is whether the business can achieve the trust mechanism on the chain.

The trust body on the manufacturing chain uses intelligent contract logic to interact directly with users; the changes of core business-related data and program status are determined by the established intelligent contract program logic and do not involve any offline trust body intervention.

Take the chain of well-known wineries as an example, assuming that the customer demand is to record the authenticity through the block chain, and every bottle of wine can be found on the block chain, which is a subversive reform for the famous wine industry. A simple analysis shows that no matter whether the wine is connected or not, the manufacturing process is the key to determine the authenticity of the famous wine, and this decision lies with the manufacturer itself, and the individual cannot participate. Such a model cannot solve the problem with blockchain, or at least does not understand the essence of blockchain.

The enterprise should start from whether the core logic of the business can realize the trust mechanism through blocking, and whether the blocked logic can be expressed by an objective logic program, or whether the business can be realized through a piece of ordinary code. This is the correct logic of enterprise "block chaining".

So what are the best businesses to block? Take the most popular variety shows as an example. There are often voting links in some variety shows, and we can often see fans questioning that the organizers' voting has a clandestine operation and internal ranking, that is, the traditional voting method is not credible and there are a lot of opaque problems.

The blockchain itself is a decentralized system, which can ensure that all information records are open, transparent and untampered, and that the information can be checked at any time. Aiming at the mass voting scene such as variety show, a completely open voting system can be realized by using block chain technology. Among them, the voting process and results are standardized behavior, which can be realized through an objective logic, so as to ensure that in the voting scenario, the process and results are credible, such cases and scenarios are very suitable for the use of blockchain technology.

Factors to be considered in the chain of enterprises

When it comes to the issues that enterprises need to consider, Yin Xiaoliang believes that cost is a relatively important consideration. He believes that for enterprises or developers, it is necessary to carefully evaluate whether "blockchain" can reduce costs in the future, how to use blockchain technology to reduce costs, and even whether the cost of "blockchain" is even greater than the cost of the existing model. This is an important criterion to measure the long-term value of the use of a new technology.

For enterprises to apply and develop a new technology, the preliminary workload will be very large. With the development of time and the maturity of technology, the cost of enterprises will be gradually reduced. Therefore, the development cost of technology should be considered in three dimensions: long-term, medium-term and short-term.

For example, some aspiring developers say they want to chain Facebook blocks to achieve borderless, 100% real social applications. However, Facebook has 2.6 billion users, and it is expensive to put all of these people's behavior and data through the blockchain. For example, just completely linking all the computing logic of Facebook, the workload is already very large and complex, and the user experience will decline sharply after the "blockchain". It is obviously not advisable to carry blindly. However, some applications can be implemented by putting the logic of the Facebook part on the block chain.

Yin Xiaoliang said that even with mature ideas and strong funds, there are still many issues to consider. For example, at present, the education cost for users in the blockchain industry is still very high, and blockchain users account for less than 1% of all Internet users; secondly, offline and online scenarios are seriously separated; in addition, the underlying performance of blockchain technology itself still needs to be improved. And so on, all these issues need to be considered by enterprises and developers.

The open platform of Thunderbolt chain allows enterprises to put on the chain light.

At the event site, Yin Xiaoliang specifically analyzed the thinking process of developing an application to help on-site developers and enterprises understand the practical details of blockchain application development. Yin Xiaoliang said that taking the development of a certain DAPP as an example, we should first consider why the DAPP is developed, how many users the DAPP can serve, how to operate after development, where the resources are, including technology and traffic, and so on.

Yin Xiaoliang pointed out that in the current context of the blockchain industry, enterprises and developers can give priority to the following aspects: first, choose low-frequency scenarios; second, part of the business in the enterprise needs to be transparent; third, part of the consensus needs to be linked.

As for the underlying development platform, Yin Xiaoliang suggested that enterprises and developers choose Thunderbolt chain, which is currently leading in usability and performance. He said that as a world-famous main chain, Thunderbolt chain is streamlined through industry solutions, does not need secondary development, and can be quickly wound up by filling in the corresponding parameters, which is very suitable for enterprises and developers involved in the block chain. At the same time, for enterprises and developers with strong technical ability and some development experience, they can also do secondary development on the Xunlei chain to improve the existing application scenarios. At present, Thunderbolt chain has set up a development environment for selection, trigger and execution, which can help enterprises and developers get started quickly.

In addition, Thunderbolt chain has some ready-made contracts to call. For example, the Lucky draw tool, Thunderbolt chain, can provide a set of draw contracts that are completely open and transparent and cannot be tampered with, which can help lottery scenarios solve problems such as lottery probability, clandestine operation and opaque information to ensure reliability. The organizer of the lucky draw can make corresponding changes through the simple contract version, and it can be used on the chain after submission, which is very convenient.

For the voting scene that the audience is more interested in, Yin Xiaoliang said that Xunlei chain also has a ready-made contract to call. The voting contract of Thunder chain can make every vote can not be tampered with to ensure the security and fairness of the information. The organizer can apply it directly in the corresponding scenario through a simple definition of the modification contract. At the same time, all the data and voting results generated in the voting process are publicly stored on the block chain, which can avoid the cooperation between the organizer and the voter.

Many developers are interested in the underlying features of Thunderbolt chain. Yin Xiaoliang said that Thunderbolt chain can currently provide strong underlying performance support, such as million-level concurrent processing capacity, support for phenomenal commercial applications, and second-level confirmation. fast and reliable, flexible expansion, super compatibility and so on.

What is the burst field of blockchain applications in the next three years?

In terms of future development, Yin Xiaoliang pointed out that the new way of using blockchain technology to achieve efficient collaboration may give birth to influential applications in cross-border payment, cross-border e-commerce, logistics, property rights sharing and other scenarios in the next three years. At the same time, Yin Xiaoliang also introduced in detail the current industry solutions provided by Xunlei chain:

Sharing economy: users use cloud computing to contribute idle space to obtain the reward mechanism issued by the enterprise and realize the closed loop of the whole ecology. Thunderbolt chain uses chain as the reward mechanism and block chain for bookkeeping, which is open, transparent and reliable to ensure the healthy development of the closed loop of the whole shared ecosystem.

Copyright: creators can upload some of their own copyright content to the chain through the corresponding DAPP. After paying a certain cost, users can get the right to use the file, whether it is a permanent download or by the number of playbacks. This mechanism, through the Thunder chain asset contract to distribute this reward to the founder, through the establishment of copyright information, to achieve transparency.

Charity industry: many details of income and expenditure in the process of traditional charity are not accessible to ordinary donors. When Xunlei chain is linked through the charity system, it puts the details, income and expenditure of each project donation, etc., through the block chain to solve the public's mistrust of the public welfare platform, including common problems such as the public welfare platform receives the money but does not deal with it.

The applicable Scheme of Block chain for four types of Enterprises

For the current more mainstream enterprise needs, Yin Xiaoliang also carried out a detailed analysis at the event site. He believes that enterprises can be divided into four categories: government departments, traditional group enterprises, Internet enterprises, and ordinary individual developers (start-ups). Each type of enterprise has different needs for blockchain.

Government departments need to use blockchain to achieve the form of business chain, to maximize the value of the government to serve the people, their needs mostly lie in business consulting; Internet enterprises are mainly core or part of the business to achieve block transformation, most of them are to meet the purpose of corporate financing development, or to promote user growth, including the ability to commercialize business. So their needs focus on business consulting, product cooperation, traffic support and so on. Start-ups have a demand for resources and talents, and they prefer to get one-stop services, including technology, traffic, capital, cost, and so on.

According to the needs of different enterprises, Thunderbolt chain provides one-stop services and supporting policies with different needs, including technical support, cost support, flow support and investment support, namely:

1. Technical support: free access to all the features of Thunderbolt chain to developers, including million-level TPS, second confirmation, strong compatibility, flexible expansion, strength sharing and other outstanding performance parts.

two。 Cost support: chain discount coupons of different orders of magnitude are given to potential projects, which can cover the first-year smart contract execution cost and exchange for domain cloud computing resource services.

3. Traffic support: open Xunlei more than 10 years of distributed technology precipitation and 400 million + user base, sharing chain ecology of millions of active people.

4. Investment support: link with well-known investment institutions at home and abroad, open the docking channel of angel funds, carry out financial support, and help to realize the entrepreneurial dream of the block chain.

In conclusion, Yin Xiaoliang said that the Xunlei chain open platform provides comprehensive support for developers in various industries and all types of enterprises, allowing developers to focus on application innovation and function development, and promoting the development of block chain application ecology.
