Okey Cloud Chain Group launched the blockchain science popularization "Star Project"
Following the launch of the "Kunpeng Plan" for industrial talent training, the world's leading blockchain industry group Oukeyun Chain Group officially announced on April 26 the launch of the blockchain science popularization action - "Star Project", which includes A series of salons will be launched nationwide, and efforts will be made to promote blockchain science popularization into institutions, state-owned enterprises, and campuses, etc., to give full play to its own technology accumulation and industrial advantages, and to jointly build a more complete and effective blockchain with government departments and industry associations. At the same time, it directly hits the existing pain points of blockchain science popularization, and launched a simple and easy-to-understand short video course for public welfare of "Understanding Blockchain in Seconds". The plan aims to promote the society to establish a clearer understanding of the industry in all dimensions, and together with the "Kunpeng Plan" to help the healthy development of the digital economy and the blockchain industry itself, lay a solid foundation for "talent" and "industry cognition". On the same day, Okey Cloud Chain Group opened the first blockchain salon under the framework of the "Star Project" in Beijing.
"With the fire of a single spark, illuminate the long journey", Hu Chao, vice president of Okey Cloud Chain Group, summed up the vision of the "Star Project". He introduced that, as one of the representatives of strategic emerging technologies, the blockchain technological innovation sweeping the world is having a profound impact on all walks of life. This is a long journey that will bring about structural reshaping of the underlying logic of the economy and society. "Science popularization" is an effective means to help the whole society and people in various fields to deepen their understanding of the blockchain. The way forward.
Zhang Chao, vice president of Okey Cloud Chain Group, analyzed from the technical level that new technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, IoT, and 5G need to work together. In the construction of new infrastructure, each has its own energy efficiency, and they will form a whole to promote social development. power, and the blockchain will play an important role in optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and building a trusted system.
Breaking the topic: the industry's first "Star Project" for science popularization
In March, the blockchain was included in the seven key industries of the digital economy in the "The 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the 2035 Vision Objective Outline" (referred to as the "'14th Five-Year' Plan Outline") , which has been raised again by the policy after rising to the height of national strategy in 2019 and being included in the new infrastructure in 2020. There is also a general consensus in the industry that blockchain is known as the "next generation of Internet-level information technology" and the most revolutionary technology among strategic emerging technologies.
However, according to a recent questionnaire on the status quo of blockchain science popularization by the Okey Cloud Chain Research Institute, only 6.08% of all 1,580 valid feedback results indicated that they "understand blockchain". In comparison with artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other new technologies representing learning difficulty, blockchain is considered to be the second most "difficult to understand" technology, accounting for 38.51%. 91.89% of people are interested in learning blockchain, and 18.92% are "very interested". At present, they mainly learn about blockchain through web search (68.92%) and short videos (66.22%). They are most interested in the concept and application of blockchain, and the proportion of choosing these two items is close to 70%.
Hu Chao further introduced that the current blockchain science education is very important and urgent, which is mainly reflected in four aspects. First, the stage of "demonizing" the blockchain has passed, but the adverse effects of "stigmatization" still exist, and it is necessary to rectify the name of the blockchain on a wider scale and at a deeper level. Second, the "universal theory" of the blockchain is rampant, and the inaccurate cognition of "blockchain + all things" is showing a trend of spreading, which may easily lead to directional errors in the process of implementing blockchain applications. Third, there is a shortage of blockchain professionals, the soil for growth is not good, and the talent bottleneck in the development of the industry is becoming increasingly prominent. It is urgent to improve the level of social awareness and attract more talents to join the blockchain. Fourth, all kinds of so-called blockchain popular science content currently on the market are generally obscure and uneven in quality, and there are even many inferior training content that charge high tuition fees under the banner of blockchain.
It is particularly worth noting that from the perspective of the entire industry, blockchain professionals are still in a very short supply. From the perspective of development in the next five years, the estimated talent gap is equivalent to 11 times the current number of employees. Moreover, the blockchain subject education has just begun, and the blockchain majors in colleges and universities only started recruiting students last year, and 14 colleges and universities have added blockchain majors this year. "This is undoubtedly a positive benefit for the development of the industry," Hu Chao said, "As one of the earliest established blockchain companies in China, we also hope to use our long-term experience accumulated in practice to cooperate with education circles. Together with all walks of life including government, industry, research and academia, we will work together for the cultivation of blockchain professionals."
It is understood that Okey Cloud Chain Group's "Star Project" mainly includes three major aspects:
First, Okey Cloud Chain Group will launch and continue to carry out a series of blockchain-themed salons in various forms across the country, including general science popularization at various levels such as technology, industry, application, and policy, as well as real-time hot spot interpretations. Reach a wider group of people in the form of highly flexible and interactive salons, and cultivate a stronger blockchain atmosphere.
Second, the Okey Cloud Chain Group will increase efforts to promote a series of activities such as blockchain science popularization into institutions, state-owned enterprises, and campuses on the existing basis, give full play to its own technology accumulation and industrial advantages, and actively cooperate with government departments and industries Associations, professional institutions and other forces inside and outside the industry will increase the intensity of science education for key groups, and jointly build a more complete and effective blockchain science education ecology.
Third, Okey Cloud Chain Group will focus on creating and continuously updating the short video course "Understanding Blockchain in Seconds" for public welfare science. The course has a total of 500 episodes, and each episode is only 180 seconds long. , development trends, industry hotspots, wealth opportunities and other professional dimensions, with an easy-to-understand discourse system and lively short videos to help Internet users learn blockchain better.
Decoding: The core of blockchain technology solves the problem of trust
At the blockchain salon of Okey Cloud Chain Group, Hu Chao and Zhang Chao popularized the blockchain in terms of general knowledge, application prospects and underlying logic of technology.
Blockchain is a distributed shared account book and database, which integrates emerging technologies of multiple disciplines such as cryptography, mathematics, economics, and computer science. It has the characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering, traceability, openness and transparency. The core of the blockchain solves the problem of trust. Zhang Chao gave an example. For example, in some industries that require government supervision, the current solution often relies on the government to solve the trust problem. Although it is efficient, it increases the cost of the government. Through blockchain technology, in some scenarios, allowing the regulated objects to realize self-regulation can greatly reduce the government's regulatory costs.
Regarding the application of blockchain technology, Hu Chao explained from the two directions of "tool-type" application and "subversive" application. He said that most of the blockchain applications we have seen so far are "tool-type" applications, that is, to develop a system based on blockchain technology for a specific scenario, which is similar to the application of traditional Internet technology. "Upgraded version". He believes that with the strong support of national policies, "tool-type" blockchain applications are currently in the breakthrough period of large-scale implementation. the lives of ordinary people.
Hu Chao believes that the real iteration of a new technology in the development stage mainly depends on two signs: one is the breakthrough of the underlying technology, and the other is the emergence of "subversive" applications. He further explained that, for example, Alipay and WeChat Pay have created a new payment method, reconstructed people's payment habits, and formed a new business ecosystem around mobile payment, and without mobile Internet technology, such applications are impossible They exist, they are born by relying on this technology. In this sense, Alipay and WeChat payment can be said to be "subversive" applications of mobile Internet technology. At present, the landing of "subversive" blockchain applications is still in the exploratory period, and there may be "killer" applications in the next five years.
In order to help everyone understand the application of blockchain technology more intuitively, Hu Chao showed the application examples of blockchain technology in public welfare and charity, personnel flow management, resumption of work and production in epidemic prevention and control, and also explained the application of blockchain technology in epidemic prevention and control. Application cases in finance, trade, bills, cross-border payment, energy, games and other fields. Based on the explanations of these cases, Hu Chao proposed that based on the characteristics of blockchain technology, it will have a better application prospect in data-sensitive scenarios, especially those with strong requirements for data sharing and collaboration, such as financial related fields , is still the main battlefield for the application of blockchain technology.
Zhang Chao further analyzed from the underlying logic of the technology, the current representative new technologies, such as blockchain, 5G, IoT (Internet of Things), artificial intelligence, big data, etc., are mutually synergistic in promoting social development and digital economy construction. , each has its own unique function.
In Zhang Chao’s view, in this new technology collaborative work ecology, IoT is the “eye”, the data collection entrance belongs to the perception layer, and is the infrastructure of informationization in the real world; 5G is the “blood”, bringing faster The network transmission speed is the data transmission channel; the blockchain is the "artery", which solves the interaction logic and data transmission rules between various roles and subjects; artificial intelligence is the "brain", based on data and models, with less development costs To achieve better system services, these technologies together form the information infrastructure.
As for each technology performing its duties in the process of exerting value, Zhang Chao gave an example, the combination of artificial intelligence and big data technology, such as computer vision, semantic recognition, massive data processing and other technologies, can analyze the information collected by terminal equipment. Secondary processing, screening out meaningful information, and first "slimming" the data. Apply the blockchain solution, record data write and read permission rules on the chain, and carry out hierarchical processing of data storage. Through its non-tamperable and data redundancy characteristics, it can ensure that data will not be lost, and realize A clear division of responsibilities is established to solve the problem of difficult traceability of responsibilities after the event.
Breakthrough: the 8-year "parallel line" of the "pioneer" in the industry
Okey Cloud Chain Group was founded by Xu Mingxing in 2013. At that time, the whole industry had just started. Facing a new industry, "infrastructure" such as core business development and industrial science popularization have become parallel lines in the development of the group.
At the business level, Xu Mingxing, who focuses on the research and development and commercialization of blockchain technology, has been positioning himself to build infrastructure for the blockchain industry. So far, the group has built a multi-level industrial empowerment around the blockchain application as the core The industry's first infrastructure system "blockchain ecological engine", the business covers blockchain big data, blockchain security, blockchain technology research and development and application, blockchain industry investment, blockchain incubator and other sectors , which owns the blockchain big data application OKLink blockchain browser, the blockchain security system "Chain Sky Eye", the world-renowned digital asset trading service platform OKCoin, and the Hong Kong main board listed company Okey Cloud Chain Holdings (01499. HK) etc.
Blockchain big data is the core area for Okey Cloud Group to explore industrial applications, and the blockchain browser plays the role of a "testing ground" in this direction. In 2019, the group's OKLink blockchain browser was launched. So far, it has realized the extraction, integration, and real-time processing of full-node data of mainstream virtual currencies (BTC, ETH, etc.) Relationship analysis, on-chain capital flow tracking, basic data query and other functions, the accuracy of on-chain data is 100%, and the accuracy of address label data is 97%.
With the rapid development of the first-generation application of virtual currency in blockchain technology, related cases have also increased in recent years. In 2020, China has become the country with the second highest incidence of virtual currency crimes in the world. Fraud caused by virtual currency has become the mainstream of financial fraud, causing per capita losses of more than 130,000 yuan, ranking first in the amount of losses in various financial fraud crimes. In order to further protect the security of user assets, OKLink launched the blockchain security system "Sky Eye on the Chain" in September 2020, which helps users understand the ins and outs of asset flows on the chain through functions such as address analysis, transaction graphs, and on-chain monitoring , it is the industry's first on-chain data monitoring tool that is free and open to all users, and provides visualization of transaction behavior.
At the same time, Zhang Chao introduced that since September last year, he has assisted the police in Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Hangzhou, Zhejiang and other places to handle cases intelligently and successfully recovered tens of billions of assets.
Synchronized with the development of core business, Okey Cloud Chain Group's science popularization journey has already begun. Since 2016, Xu Mingxing has successively published books such as "Blockchain: Reshaping the Economy and the World", "Illustrated Blockchain", and "Token Economy". In recent years, following the rise of video, Xu Mingxing has launched a series of popular science animation short films "Chain and the Future", and a public welfare documentary on the blockchain industry "Blockchain Records" and so on.
In August 2020, Ooke Cloud Chain Group held the first "Ooke Cloud" blockchain science popularization short video contest, which attracted attention from all over the country. The contestants came from teachers, students, operators, programmers and other walks of life. A round of upsurge in the vernacular blockchain.
In addition to science popularization, talents are also the main direction of the group in helping the construction of the industrial base layer. Okey Cloud Chain Group launched the "Kunpeng Plan" for blockchain talent training in May 2020. Through the "Talent Expansion, Talent Training, Bole Plan "Three major measures to promote the ecological construction of blockchain talents in emerging industries. Last year, the Okey Cloud Chain Group introduced a total of various types of blockchain talents, a year-on-year increase of about 30%; various types of blockchain science popularization sessions, and in the past year, has cooperated with Beijing Youth Internet Association, Hainan Province Dozens of companies and institutions, including the Blockchain Association, the Blockchain Industry Talent Research Institute, and the digital economy industry think tank Digital Island, have joined forces to build blockchain talents.
