Public chains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are the focus of attention in the currency circle, and most of the participants are "scattered private forces."
The social giant Facebook launched the global digital cryptocurrency Libra in June 2019; the encrypted communication software Telegram also plans to launch the open network OpenNetwork; it was previously reported that JPMorgan Chase will issue JPM Coin based on blockchain technology.
The sensitivity of domestic giants is not inferior to that of foreign countries. Tencent released the first version of "Tencent Blockchain Solution White Paper" as early as April 2017, and launched the blockchain website trustsql.qq.com; subsequently, Tencent successively released public welfare tracing chains, blockchain invoices, " Let's catch the demon together" block chain game and other applications. WeBank, which is led by Tencent, held its first Fintech Open Day in 2019, announcing its complete blockchain layout for the first time, including the jointly developed financial-grade alliance chain underlying platform FISCO BCOS.
In February 2018, Baidu launched the blockchain pet Letz dog. In October of the same year, "XuperChain" was officially announced in Hainan Software Ecological Park. Recently, HyperChain officially launched an open network for public testing.
Of course, Ali, the number one Internet giant in my country, is not idle. Among the traditional enterprises in my country, Ant Financial has a particularly large layout in the blockchain.

2. Traceable. The blockchain will record "reimbursed" information, and this information can be traced back, can be viewed in real time, and prevents fraud.

The blockchain electronic invoice is a practical application of the convenience that the blockchain brings to human life.

All is ready except for the opportunity
Since the blockchain layout of Ant Financial is so extensive, Star Media has deeply explored the logic behind it.
Ant Gold has never considered doing an ICO since it got involved in the blockchain business. Not touching digital currency is the principle for major companies to enter the blockchain, and it has been proved to be the correct choice.
In June 2018, Ant Financial's blockchain cross-border remittance was launched in Hong Kong. Jack Ma personally went to the scene to further explain this point of view:
"Ant Financial is currently the company that has applied for the most blockchain patents in the world, but Ant Financial does not even have a bitcoin worth 1 yuan. Because we believe that blockchain technology has little to do with money, blockchain is not A gold mine, but a solution to solve problems in the data age, to solve privacy issues, security issues, and credit issues.”
In addition, Ant Financial has a deep grasp of the essence of the blockchain - to solve the problem of trust.
Jiang Guofei, vice president of Ant Financial, said, "Every place with complicated and long processes is a place where trust is lacking. We are eliminating such places one by one."

In the past December, Ant Financial Chairman "Jing Xiandong" also mentioned in an open letter: "For 15 years, we have been struggling with the problem of 'trust', a human society. We believe that we can solve this problem with digital technology. This will greatly reduce the cost of trust in the commercial field, and help the matter of 'making it easy to do business in the world' get closer and closer to reality."
