At the end of 2018, the era of entrepreneurship, which was frantically pursued by capital, finally entered a new stage. Capital began to restrain, and entrepreneurship returned to calm. But the bubble has faded, and industrial entrepreneurs and technology entrepreneurs may be ushering in better historical opportunities. The era of holding high and fighting high is over, but those "small and beautiful changes" deserve more attention.

Landing application-Shoudeyun sees the moonlight
Ant Financial, as a technology company that brings Hewlett-Packard financial services to the world, has demonstrated more and more technical genes - as of December 2017, the company's employees in technical positions accounted for 61%; published in the intellectual property industry media IPRdaily On the "2018 Global Blockchain Patent Enterprise Ranking List", Ant Financial topped the list with 49 patent applications.
In the past two years, Ant Blockchain has only focused on two things. First, to create an independent and controllable financial-level blockchain platform. Second, to apply blockchain technology to serve the real economy. Ant Blockchain has made contributions to many livelihood areas such as public welfare, food safety, cross-border remittances, and house leasing.
On June 25, 2018, blockchain application scenarios ushered in a new breakthrough. The cross-border remittance service launched in Hong Kong is the world's first blockchain-based electronic wallet. Grace, a Filipino who has worked in Hong Kong for 22 years, completed the remittance to the Philippine wallet Gcash through the Alipay Hong Kong wallet in just 3 seconds.
Blockchain cross-border payment solves many pain points such as time, exchange rate, and complicated process. Blockchain technology itself has the characteristics of decentralization, transparency, traceability, and non-tampering. It has natural development prospects in many fields such as medical care, payment, and public welfare traceability.
