An announcement from the Cyberspace Administration of China has stirred up the entire technology community.
On March 30, the State Internet Information Office (hereinafter referred to as the "CAC") issued the "Domestic Blockchain Information Service Filing Numbers (First Batch)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Filing"), announcing the first batch of 197 online information services. A blockchain project for registration and filing.
Among them, Ant Financial, Tencent, Huada Genomics, TAL, Haier and other well-known giants are all listed, and their technologies involve all areas closely related to our lives such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, education, and medical care.

shopping without boundaries
The Internet has indeed turned the earth into a village, among which the most closely related to us is not only instant social interaction, but also cross-border shopping.
However, genuine products are out of stock and counterfeit products are growing wildly on various shopping platforms, which also increases the purchasing burden of consumers.
For consumers, there is an urgent need for an information-equivalent consumption environment while shopping without boundaries. Consumers need to know where the things they buy come from and what they have experienced during the transportation process.
Among the 197 blockchain information service filings released by the Netcom Office, there are a few companies that can use blockchain to transform the pain points of shopping.
The first is "Fengsu GO" of SF Express.
In 2018, SF Express created a new retail project "Fengsu GO" based on blockchain technology. Fengsu is also a blockchain service project filed with the Cyberspace Administration of China.
"Fengsu GO" aims to provide traceability services for some overseas commodities through blockchain technology. By scanning the traceability code on the product, consumers can obtain information such as the origin of the product, third-party inspection report, customs declaration form, and the entire logistics situation.
In other words, SF Express wants to provide consumers with a credible Haitao retail service, and use the blockchain to provide a credible identity for cross-border products.
At present, SF Express has launched the "Fengsu GO" model in some of SF Express's preferred stores, and sells overseas bonded goods in community stores.
But in fact, this model is not necessarily completely anti-counterfeiting. The blockchain only provides a certificate storage service. In this way, only certificates can be stored, and the information uploader at the source of the product is still uncontrollable. How to do a good job of anti-counterfeiting information at the source remains to be studied.

Transform travel
Among the 197 blockchain information services filed by the Cyberspace Administration of China, two companies want to use blockchain to transform travel services. They are Shouqi Group and Shanghai Wanxiang Blockchain Co., Ltd.
Beijing Shouqi Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shouqi Group, filed a project called "Blockchain Linkage Platform". Automobile platform, the official website of the platform has a special block chain section, click on the block chain browser (GFC) named GFChain.
As early as October 22 last year, GoFun announced at the product upgrade conference that it will introduce the blockchain digital asset "Energy Cube" and start mining with a car. This move is considered to be Shouqi Group's test of the blockchain business.
On January 31 this year, GoFun Travel CTO Yan Kewen said that the company is building a public chain based on blockchain technology, hoping to link various ecosystems of travel services. At the same time, with the help of the "Zhixin Chancheng" blockchain project, which is a government application in Foshan, Guangdong, a series of new functions will be realized, such as quickly verifying the identity of new users, and picking up cars by swiping their faces.
On April 3, Odaily called the company, and the customer service staff responded that the application of the blockchain part is the energy cube game built in the platform. Users can collect energy cube points by signing in, and the energy cube can be used to exchange coupons. .
It is temporarily unknown what information the company will upload to the chain, but previously, because it was believed that the blockchain could reduce idle costs and improve platform efficiency, the sharing economy was once considered to be one of the landing scenarios of the blockchain, but the sharing economy The fall of the tuyere has caused the industry itself to be questioned. In 2018, shared cars such as Youyou Vehicle, EZZY, Muggle Travel, and Bago Travel fell one after another. Tuge, which had previously raised a cumulative financing amount of 500 million yuan, also fell into a crisis of deposit payment.
It will take time to verify whether GoFun can rejuvenate the sharing economy through the blockchain.
In addition to the travel mode of shared travel, the penetration rate of personal private cars is also quite high, and self-purchased cars have gradually become a must-have item in a family.
The blockchain-based "automotive supply chain logistics service" platform launched by Shanghai Wanxiang Blockchain Co., Ltd. aims to transform the automobile logistics supply chain with blockchain.
For example, in the vehicle logistics scenario, multiple parties are involved in the transportation of a car from the factory to the 4S store.
The Wanxiang blockchain "automotive supply chain logistics service platform" builds a common accounting mechanism for the participants, and connects with the systems of multiple enterprises at the same time, and the operational data between enterprises will be shared and transmitted in real time. At the same time, the platform has also transformed the reconciliation and settlement process, canceling the cumbersome details such as document collection, back and forth reconciliation, and email confirmation.

Great health has not fallen
Recently, 996 work preparation in the Internet industry has been hotly discussed, and people have begun to joke: work 996, sick ICU.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the thermos cup is already a must-have item on almost every desk of the "post-95s". The shopping links shared by colleagues during the "fishing" time at work are either deep mountain honey, black wolfberry for health, massage Health care has also become a trend.
In addition, genetic testing is gaining popularity, and there are mutual health insurance plans for millions of people. People's demand for health care and health care is self-evident.
Blockchain technology is also targeting the big health market.
After browsing the 197 registered blockchain projects, the Odaily reporter found that at least 5 companies have registered blockchain services in the medical and health direction.
They are listed companies Shenzhen Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd., Tianjin National Health Technology Co., Ltd., Hunan Daai Renji Health Service Co., Ltd., etc.
After a careful review, it was found that most of the 5 companies in the health and medical field that have filed for the record use the blockchain for to B applications. Simply put, it is to use the blockchain to realize the safe storage, credible sharing and data authentication of medical data.
Data right confirmation is one of the applications closest to your life. In layman's terms, data rights in the healthcare field means that you can control your own health data and use it to monetize. Huada Genomics is trying to make such a blockchain application.
BGI has conducted data monitoring and research on thousands of employees for many years by using technologies such as sequencing, mass spectrometry and imaging to interpret and monitor personal health and disease status. According to the official website, the blockchain-based data interaction model has been used in its internal employee health plan and external tumor care plan.
Even so, you may not care about which experiment your health and medical data is used for, but have you ever imagined that your personal health data can also be realized, and may bring you a small income in the future?
In the blockchain data security sharing system designed by BGI for employees, employees can sign up and participate in some data recruitment projects through the APP, and the data user can only call the user's personal health data with the authorization of the user.
That is to say, after contributing their own data, employees can get health points, which can be used in their system.
If such a system where everyone contributes their own data is common worldwide, people can control their own health data and obtain economic benefits through their own data, and at the same time make a lot of contributions to health care, and can participate in many diseases that are closely related to themselves research and drug development.

"Workplace Passport" Appears
Three golds and four silvers, it's time to change jobs again.
But both recruiters and job seekers face a problem: the information is not open and transparent, especially when large companies often go through a long-term due diligence process when screening candidates.
From the perspective of the enterprise, the problems it faces include: false salary increases, exaggerated work performance, false reporting of cognitive background and reasons for leaving, and falsification of educational experience, etc. The cost of screening is high and inefficient; Credit history does not create value.
In the past, LinkedIn tried to solve this problem by using reviews from acquaintances to solve the problem of trust and disobedience, but it did not have a revolutionary impact. Instead, it was criticized as a "self-centered social networking platform" because of its old-fashioned website. Pages and Newsfeeds filled with "junk marketing and self-promotion".
So, can the above problems be solved through the decentralized, verifiable, and tamper-proof technical characteristics of the blockchain?
Sunpu Technology launched the "Workplace Passport", intending to enter the blockchain workplace. According to its official website, Workplace Pass is a personal workplace integrity platform based on blockchain technology, providing services including resignation certificate, work certificate, income certificate, and workplace integrity certificate.
"The workplace pass uses Fabric as the underlying platform, combining independent distributed storage, transmission protocols, and encryption mechanisms in a special way, which in turn makes the workplace pass impossible to be tampered with and retains the security of enterprise documents. Primitive." Said the official website of Shengpu Technology.
According to the official website of Shengpu Technology, on April 3, the number of registered enterprises was 2,770, the number of registered users was 382,209, the number of document inquiries was 63,594, and the number of documents was 41,209.
But on the other hand, its official website's crude pages, confusing introductions, and apps that are still "untrusted enterprise-level developers" also put a question mark on the authenticity of the above data.
On April 3, Odaily contacted Shengpu Technology by phone, but the other party has been unable to connect.
In addition to Shengpu Technology, the previous professional chains CTEChain and PBase all wanted to solve similar problems, but they did not enter the record this time.

Prove that "your mother is your mother"
As soon as the personal income tax declaration app was launched at the beginning of the year, Zhang San (pseudonym) downloaded one, hoping to reduce taxes. But after logging in, Zhang San was dumbfounded, and his personal information was displayed as the legal person of "Chongqing Jieda Construction Labor Service Co., Ltd." After analysis, he confirmed that his identity information had been stolen.
Moreover, the company that made Zhang San "legal person" once issued an invoice of more than 1 million yuan, and the tax payment situation is already in an "abnormal state", which will substantially affect the social credit record. After that, Zhang San may not be able to set up other companies, and loans, etc. will also be affected.
China is the world's largest Internet country, with 829 million Internet users. A major chaos in this complex network is the leakage of personal information. The report shows that among all kinds of network security issues, Chinese netizens have the highest proportion of encountering information leakage problems, reaching 28.5%.
Solving the problem of privacy leakage is not just as simple as supervising some Internet companies, but starting from the root cause of citizen identity information authentication.
For more than 20 years, China has "touched the Internet", mainly using "name + citizen ID number" to represent citizens' online identities, and lacks effective protection of personal information. If the source of identity information can be encrypted, will the subsequent data flow be worry-free?
Among the companies that filed this time, some of the projects focus on chaining digital identities.
The digital identity anchored by digital identity and resident personal identity is also called eID. It is based on the citizen identity number and is a digital mark generated by the Ministry of Public Security based on a cryptographic algorithm for Chinese citizens. It can identify identities without revealing identity information. , Effectively prevent the disclosure of personal information of citizens.
Take applying for a mortgage as an example. Li Si, a user with an eID, initiates a mortgage loan application to Bank A through his mobile phone; Bank A requests the identity service agency to verify the identity of the applicant, which may be a government agency or another bank; Bank A will also request a trusted source B, C, and D provide Li Si's credit records. This operation needs to be confirmed by Li Si, who agrees that B, C, and D provide personal information to Bank A. Bank A decides whether to approve the applicant's loan after analyzing all the information received.
In this process, what Bank A came into contact with was Li Si's eID, but not his real information directly, so as to ensure the security of data circulation.
Currently, the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security is leading the trusted identity chain project, and the chain enterprise Beijing Gongyilian Technology Co., Ltd. assists in research and development.

What are some other interesting chains?
In addition to using blockchain technology to solve the pain points of shopping, travel, medical treatment, and workplace, we also selected some interesting technologies from the list of 197 blockchain information service filings.
For example, in terms of housing, BTG Homeinns (Guangzhou) Blockchain Technology Co., Ltd. has launched a blockchain point marketing and management cloud platform chain points.
According to official information, BTG Homeinn (Guangzhou) Blockchain Technology Co., Ltd. started preparations in June last year under the instruction of Mr. Sun Jian, CEO of BTG Homeinn Hotel Group. It is a subsidiary jointly established by BTG Homeinn Hotel Group and BestApp.
This is a cloud computing platform for the marketing and management of enterprise blockchain points. The first phase will be deployed and launched in BTG Homeinn Hotel Group to create blockchain point issuance in the hotel industry-blockchain point sales-member blockchain Points interoperability - a closed-loop circulation of block chain point exchange to improve the loyalty of members of the hotel group.
In the area of education, the future learning track chain that TAL (NYSE: TAL) wanted to build was once considered to be likely to be used to collect and record students' learning growth trajectory data.
In July last year, TAL announced the recruitment of blockchain-related technical positions. The job description for the position of "Blockchain Java R&D Engineer" stated that "according to business needs, be responsible for the company's K12 blockchain product development work."
In addition to the above, there are also e-sports chain Jingdouyun launched by Haoxin Internet (Beijing) Network Technology, and blockchain works information deposit certificates launched by iQiyi.
To millions of us, the scientific and technological revolution is like a trickle hidden in different time and space dimensions. At first, we cannot see or touch it, but when the trickle gathers and grows, it breeds new life and makes our life look brand new. We have experienced several information revolutions, and now, the blockchain based on new computer technology is showing new sprouts.
