Deputy Director of the Central Bank's Digital Research Institute: Blockchain helps the high-quality development of digital finance, and can break through eight aspects including core technology and standard support

Di Gang, deputy director of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China, said that although blockchain technology has expanded many application scenarios in the field of global digital finance, it is still difficult to achieve in terms of system architecture, privacy protection, information security, regulatory audit, integration and standard system. There are still technical challenges in six aspects. For example, in terms of supervision and auditing, Di Gang believes that many of the nodes in the blockchain are anonymized and encrypted, and it is difficult to supervise the decentralization. Through the combination of privacy protection technology and supervision detection technology, penetrating supervision can be realized. As another example, in terms of the standard system, Di Gang believes that the interconnection and interoperability of the blockchain is poor, and the core technical standards and application standards are not enough, which requires more efforts to build an interconnection standard system. Di Gang believes that in order to promote the high-quality development of digital finance with blockchain technology, the future can be carried out from eight aspects, including basic theory, core technology, standard support, special demonstration, industrial collaboration, talent training, ecological co-construction, policy and resource guarantee.
