The essence of blockchain "multi-centralization" coincides with distributed storage​.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Office of the Central Network Security and Informatization Commission issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Application of Blockchain Technology and Industrial Development". Opinions: By 2025, the comprehensive strength of the blockchain industry will reach the world's advanced level, and the industry will begin to take shape.

The Internet solves the sharing of information at any time, the mobile Internet solves the sharing of information anywhere, and the Internet of Things solves the sharing of information with things. The blockchain built on the basis of the three realizes the transfer of digital value anytime, anywhere and with things.

The essence of "multi-centralization" of the blockchain coincides with distributed storage.

In 1943, IBM's Thomas J. Watson once said: "I think maybe 5 computers can meet the needs of the world". Entering the second decade of the 21st century, some people say, "Maybe five clouds can meet the needs of the whole world." The five clouds here refer to AWS, Azure, Google, Alibaba Cloud, and IBM.

With the rise of the Internet of Things and edge computing (a method of processing data physically close to where it is generated), some scenarios must be stored and processed quickly near the endpoint.

How to make further breakthroughs in security and cost based on the cloud platform? The combination of distributed storage and blockchain is a good choice.

Let's take a look at what is a blockchain? Blockchain (BlockChain) is essentially a distributed ledger and a multi-centralized database.

Blockchain is not a new technology, but a new combination of technologies. It cleverly combines several technologies, including distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm, smart contract, etc. Among them, the consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm that establishes trust between different nodes and obtains rights and interests in the blockchain system; smart contract is a computer protocol designed to disseminate, verify or execute contracts in an informatized manner. Smart contracts allow for trusted transactions without third parties, which are traceable and irreversible.

The combination of distributed storage and blockchain brings three major advantages:

  • Storage pooling can be realized in a wider space and in a richer form. The incentive mechanism of the blockchain can drive users to contribute the remaining storage space of enterprise-level storage, servers, PCs, mobile storage, etc. User data is stored on different nodes in a distributed manner, and the data actually stored by each node is only some slices of the data, and these slices are also stored in an encrypted manner. In this way, the data can be protected more securely. Even if the user who provides the storage node has the opportunity to view these slices, what he sees is a data segment that has no practical meaning.

  • The distributed business model of the DAO (Distributed Autonomous Organization) of the blockchain has the opportunity to use global resources and talents to accelerate the development of products and business models, just like everyone is picking up firewood.

  • If the infrastructure of the blockchain and other applications (DApp, DistributedApp) are gradually improved, what users store is not just digital information, but digital assets that can be exchanged for value. Blockchain can help enterprises confirm the rights of digital assets on the Internet. On this basis, digital assets can be transferred, and the value exchange can be realized. Since the blockchain also has the characteristics of non-tampering and precise tracking, it makes data ownership protection easier to achieve.

The combination of distributed storage and blockchain forms blockchain storage, also known as IPFS. As the first batch of IPFS ecological builders in China, Zhongchuang Computing Power's vision is to become the standard creator in the field of distributed storage. Dingyun distributed storage cloud service platform will carry blockchain data applications, provide diversified applications for the Web3.0 era, and promote the standardized development of the blockchain industry and the infrastructure construction of the Internet!
