Seize the opportunity of open source and develop forward-looking advanced alliance chain technology

In 2017, the alliance chain was still in the wild era. At that time, the alliance chain was not "sexy" in the eyes of the public, and few companies focused on this track were interested.

In this year, FISCO BCOS, the underlying platform of the alliance chain developed by the Open Source Working Group of the Golden Chain Alliance, was officially open-sourced, linking various industry partners to build the FISCO BCOS ecosystem in a transparent and open collaborative manner.

At that time, alliance chains often used closed-source methods to obtain business opportunities, and the open source of FISCO BCOS can be regarded as an innovative practice.

Open source code can not only reduce IT costs, but also allow developers from different fields to build chains and applications based on an open architecture, releasing greater platform vitality for FISCO BCOS.

After several versions of iterations, in early 2019, FISCO BCOS took the lead in launching the "one body, two wings and multiple engines" architecture. This architecture focuses on strong performance, high security, high scalability and extreme ease of use. According to the evaluation results of the Institute of Information and Communications Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, the FISCO BCOS single-chain TPS has exceeded 20,000, and its performance and functions are sufficient to meet the needs of enterprise-level applications.

In April 2020, the blockchain was officially included in the new infrastructure category, which can help digital scenarios in various industries to achieve efficient, safe, and credible data flow. All walks of life have begun to embrace the blockchain, using it to increase the size of traditional industries.

Driven by such an unprecedented development, the demand for blockchain access from all walks of life has surged, and the concept of industrial blockchain has come to the stage. The "one body, two wings and multiple engines" of FISCO BCOS, which was born before the demand, laid the foundation for the large-scale development of the blockchain.

For traditional industries that have never used blockchain to build applications, the application threshold of blockchain technology is very high, and FISCO BCOS provides a set of easy-to-use solutions that can realize chain building in one minute, helping individuals or enterprises to quickly build applications on the chain, Lower the threshold for using blockchain.

At the same time, security is the moat for industries such as finance and government affairs. FISCO BCOS introduced national secret algorithms at the beginning of its research and development to meet the security performance requirements of these industries. At present, FISCO BCOS has realized the localization support of the whole link from the national secret algorithm, operating system, chip architecture to the server platform, and achieved comprehensive security and controllability.

The application of "Deadly Knock" has been launched, helping the industry to expand new scenarios

Blockchain is an important cornerstone of digital economy construction. The "Global Blockchain Development Trend Report 2020" issued by the Golden Chain Alliance pointed out that the era of industrial blockchain has arrived, and the epidemic is forcing countries and industries around the world to accelerate the digitalization process.

With extremely easy-to-use functions, high-performance experience and localization support, FISCO BCOS greatly shortens the exploration path of industrial blockchain applications, improves application performance, and lays a more solid foundation for large-scale industrial applications.

In April 2020, the blockchain service network BSN completed the adaptation of FISCO BCOS. FISCO BCOS became BSN's first domestic alliance chain underlying framework, reducing the cost of using blockchain for developers. As of November 2020, BSN has deployed 131 public city nodes globally, spanning six continents. Nine of the officially designated applications announced by BSN are developed based on FISCO BCOS.

FISCO BCOS is favored by developers and recognized by various industries for its ease of use. In many industries, FISCO BCOS has become the preferred bottom layer for blockchain applications. In the 4th China Blockchain Development Competition sponsored by the China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 5 of the 10 winning projects used FISCO BCOS to develop and develop the platform. It has become the bottom layer with the highest proportion of usage for two consecutive years.

According to official data, hundreds of projects in the FISCO BCOS open source community have adopted FISCO BCOS research and development, covering government affairs, finance, public welfare, medical care, education, transportation, copyright, Internet of Things, recruitment, agriculture and other fields, of which more than 120 The application has been running stably in the production environment.

FISCO BCOS assists partners in various industries to solve practical problems in key pain points and promote the production of more valuable industry applications.

This system converts the health code information into encrypted and verifiable digital certificates, so that the institutions in Guangdong and Macao can still verify the authenticity of the information even if the background is not connected. When the user needs to verify the health code across borders, there is no need to repeatedly fill in the information on multiple platforms, and the system will automatically transcode for the user after obtaining authorization.

Chen Weijie, the project director of Macau Wangao Information Technology Co., Ltd., the technical supporter of the Guangdong-Macao Health Code Cross-border Mutual Recognition System, shared a set of data that shows that blockchain technology can support large-scale applications. At present, more than 350,000 people a day Using Guangdong-Macao transcoding, more than 110 million pieces of data have been uploaded to the chain.

This system converts the health code information into encrypted and verifiable digital certificates, so that the institutions in Guangdong and Macao can still verify the authenticity of the information even if the background is not connected.

In addition to government services, the medical field is also considered to be the next blue ocean market for blockchain technology to land.

According to the statistics of the consulting firm BIS Research, the investment in blockchain technology in the global medical market will reach US$5.61 billion in 2025, and the use of blockchain technology will save the global medical industry a cost of US$100-150 billion at most.

"Blockchain applications in the life science industry will be commercially available within five years, and blockchain will become a key driving force for the transformation of the life science and medical industries." Regarding the role of blockchain technology in the pharmaceutical field, Ernst & Young China Blockchain Innovation and Liu Mingrui, director of solutions, said that the blockchain helps to activate a large amount of dormant medical data elements, turning the original dusty data into new productivity.

Based on the blockchain technology of FISCO BCOS, Ernst & Young realized the circulation of tumor case data stored in different databases of multiple hospitals, and medical data generated new value.

From technology to business, community ecology is very important

The construction of an open source ecology cannot be achieved overnight. The FISCO BCOS open source community regularly holds online and offline activities to enrich the open source ecology. So far, it has held more than 400 online and offline activities in various forms (such as Meetups, Workshops, seminars, "Super Blockchain, etc.), creating a variety of technical communication channels for developers.

The continuous iteration and development capability of technology depends on the active atmosphere of the community. Currently, many core development components in FISCO BCOS are developed and given back by community users, and there are many interest groups independently formed by developers in the community. These groups mainly focus on the bottom layer of FISCO BCOS, organizing activities such as content research, source code research, product development and competition participation, and will be the main force to promote the progress of the FISCO BCOS open source community.

For example, the FISCO BCOS Shanghai Trade University Interest Group, which was established less than a year ago, has contributed the FISCO BCOS development toolbox to the community. This product can help developers improve development efficiency and development smoothness when using the bottom layer of FISCO BCOS, and reduce development time costs.

Li Aohua, the person in charge of the interest group, said that in the future, all members of the group will participate in the co-construction of the FISCO BCOS ecosystem, and contribute to the development of the FISCO BCOS ecosystem from multiple dimensions such as technology, thinking, and talents.

No matter how advanced the technology is, it has to go through the test of commercialization. In the current blockchain market, the policy dividends are ready, the technical service providers are ready, and the scenarios are ready. Almost all the necessary conditions before the outbreak are sufficient, but blockchain applications still face the last mile of technology landing Problems - Potential customers in various industries may not even understand their own problems, let alone understand technology, raise requirements and further develop applications.

For the FISCO BCOS open source community, helping the industry discover pain points and better use of blockchain technology will help effectively solve this problem.

At present, more than 2,000 enterprises and institutions and more than 40,000 community members have gathered in the FISCO BCOS open source community. Based on the largest and most active domestic open source alliance chain ecosystem owned by FISCO BCOS, these partners began to try to solve the needs of the last mile of technology.

At the 3rd Anniversary Open Source Ceremony, Golden Chain Alliance announced the list of the first batch of FISCO BCOS partners, including 8 solution partners and 4 training service partners.

Solution partners will work with the FISCO BCOS open source community to build a blockchain open source ecosystem and help the technology to be better implemented. The training service partners will carry out curriculum development, talent certification and other talent cultivation work. The two promote the development of the blockchain industry in parallel.

As the first batch of solution partners, Shenzhen Jianxin Zhuhe Technology Co., Ltd. based on the "YOS Transparent Construction" platform developed by FISCO BCOS provides project managers in the construction industry with penetrating management, information transparency, traceable responsibility, The whole-process transparent management system of ultra-lightweight projects of credit evaluation helps the construction industry realize digital governance.

Song Feihu, CEO of the company, said that at present, the scale of projects covered on the platform has exceeded 90 billion, and the amount of engineering funds settled has exceeded 220 million.

"Based on the blockchain application, the efficiency of engineering construction has been improved. For our billion-level project, the engineering settlement efficiency has been directly shortened from half a month or a month to one to two days." Seinfeld said, "FISCO BCOS is the most What impresses me is its thorough open source spirit. In addition, the iteration and development of FISCO BCOS are always half a step ahead of us.

In the cultivation of core blockchain technology talents, FISCO BCOS hopes to work with training service partners to promote the cultivation of blockchain technology talents.

Tencent Education Tengshi Academy has cooperated with FISCO BCOS for nearly a year to design different courses for engineering and business. In the direction of engineering, it mainly involves programming courses such as smart contract development and alliance chain development; in the direction of business, it mainly involves courses related to finance. The two parties have also jointly launched three certificates: Tencent Cloud FISCO BCOS Blockchain Engineer, Tencent Cloud FISCO BCOS Blockchain Senior Engineer, and Tencent Cloud FISCO BCOS Blockchain Expert.

While the wave of industrial digitization has brought opportunities to blockchain technology, it also poses new challenges.

With the sharp increase in the demand for industrial digitization, there are likely to be three major challenges in the future of the blockchain: one is to support larger application scenarios; the other is to support more diversified scenario needs; the third is to meet different users at the same time , The needs of different roles.

Under the oncoming wave of industrial digitalization, FISCO BCOS plans to comprehensively upgrade technology to better support industrial development. When the original centralized business paradigm is gradually transformed into a distributed business paradigm, the development trend of blockchain is hard to stop.

Li Huizhong, senior architect of FISCO BCOS, said that in the research and development of the next generation of FISCO BCOS, more attention will be paid to a series of upgrades including security system, governance structure, development framework, smart contracts, etc. The effect of regenerative, connectable, and trusted computing, and through a more open community collaboration system, the version upgrade is completed, and the industrial blockchain is more efficiently assisted.
