To create a complete digital world, the public chain consortium chain is indispensable

Since October 24, 2019, blockchain has become a hot word that the public is familiar with. But the weird thing is that neither insiders nor outsiders seem to figure out one thing: what kind of blockchain ecology does the government want to build?

It is normal for outsiders to be unclear, because the blockchain does have a certain entry threshold, and it is difficult to simply popularize various technologies. But for those in the circle, there are actually many people who still don’t understand the specific situation, and they still look at the currency price in front of the K-line chart all day long.

In fact, the world of blockchain has quietly begun to change.

At the beginning of 2019, almost all Internet giants began to make efforts to deploy the blockchain. Of course, their purpose of doing so was not to issue coins, but to use the gradually mature blockchain technology to develop new blockchain applications. The goal is to get ahead in the digital world.

This creates a strong contrast: the bigwigs in the currency circle said on various social platforms that the blockchain will die, but the Internet giants began to make a fortune silently. Faced with this situation, many people will wonder whether the blockchain can still work?

Of course, the blockchain can work, but for those who equate the blockchain with the currency circle, it is of course not very good.

Where does change begin? the answer is:With the sudden emergence of the alliance chain, the blockchain world has undergone tremendous changes.

On April 16, 2020, Alibaba's Ant Blockchain began to launch the "Open Alliance Chain" for social enterprises and institutions, attracting small and medium-sized enterprises to develop on the Ant Blockchain. Can develop blockchain applications suitable for their own industries.

The advantage of this approach is that small and medium-sized enterprises do not need to have professional blockchain development capabilities, but they can enjoy the dividends brought by the development of blockchain, and it also reduces the threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the blockchain industry.

The reason why the blockchain is difficult to be applied on a large scale is that, in addition to the high threshold, the underlying technology is still not perfect, and the transaction ability and expansion ability can easily reach the bottleneck, but we cannot solve it in the short term. Of course, finding a suitable application scenario through existing technologies is also a big problem.

The approach of the ant blockchain is to find a way to solve the high threshold and technical problems. As for the problem of application scenarios, it is left to the whole society to solve, and the ant blockchain only acts as a platform.

The reason why the Internet giants can do this is because they can quickly convert the huge resources they have accumulated into production capacity, and this resource is not only material, but also a credit endorsement: everyone knows that unknown small companies must not have BAT Reliable, at least the store is big enough.

Internet giants are also no strangers to things like cross-industry. They have been in a state of horizontal development in the Internet world, and the same can be done on the blockchain.

In addition to fields such as digital finance, supply chain management, and electronic certificate storage, they are also present in vertical industries and fields such as traceability, digital copyright, public welfare, digital identity, education, medical care, energy, cultural entertainment, and people's livelihood.

So far, the blockchain has initially formed the prototype of an industrial ecology including infrastructure, industry applications and comprehensive services. After more than ten years of development, public chain technology has experienced many hardships. Application scenarios and other reasons, as well as external attitudes and policy supervision brought about by the currency circle.

Coupled with the birth of blockchain technology, it was originally a carnival of a group of anarchists and geeks. Their ideas naturally do not match the rules of the real world, which is one of the main reasons why blockchain technology is struggling.

In order to avoid being affected by this negative impression, Internet giants and some companies in the industry have begun to use alliance chains to solve various problems, and use this as a benchmark to balance the relationship between centralization and decentralization as much as possible.

What is surprising is that this attempt has achieved good results so far, which also proves the rationality of the existence of the alliance chain. It is a technical route that is more in line with the specific situation at the current stage. Compared with the plight of the public chain, the development of the alliance chain It may be a more realistic approach to promote the application of blockchain technology at present.

In the long run, the rapid development of the alliance chain will also greatly promote the development of the public chain. If the alliance chain develops well, it will inevitably create an environment for the development of the blockchain.

When lions and tigers are roaring in the mountains and forests, people either hide from them or hunt them with weapons, but no one wants to live in peace with them.

And when the first lion appears as a human pet, everyone will gradually stick to tigers as pets. This is the expansion of the "marginal effect".

Note: The alliance chain is not a lion, and the blockchain is not a tiger. They are not so terrible. I am just giving an example.

There are essential differences between the alliance chain and the public blockchain, but technological development and public awareness are permeable. As long as there is meat in the big pot of the alliance chain, the small bowl of the blockchain will gradually fill up.

The future of the digital world cannot only be the alliance chain, because lame development will not last long.

When the currency circle is painlessly divided, and when the public chain re-enters the public's field of vision with a brand-new attitude, we will find out: it turns out that the real and complete digital world is so beautiful.
