In the afternoon session of the event, Tan Min, Secretary-General of the Blockchain Service Network (BSN) Development Alliance and head of the Digital Economy Technology Promotion Group of China Mobile Communications Group Design Institute Co., Ltd., made a speech on the theme of "What is the new blockchain infrastructure" speech.

Tan Min said that compared with the serial structure of Internet data transmission, the parallel structure of alliance chain data transmission has seven advantages: reducing reconciliation costs, reducing development costs, preventing data falsification, facilitating data acquisition, canceling intermediate links, and improving Fault tolerance, expanding the scope of supervision.

In addition, Tan Min introduced that the Blockchain Service Network (BSN) is a cross-cloud service, cross-portal, and cross-underlying framework for the deployment and operation of global public infrastructure networks for blockchain applications. system", 131 resource pool city nodes around the world, and three types of portals are now online. To build a blockchain application on BSN, the minimum cost for one year is 1,500 yuan (3 nodes, 10TPS), so as to support and help an ordinary college student to innovate and start a business.

Dear leaders and guests, good afternoon, everyone. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to discuss the topic of new blockchain infrastructure on behalf of the BSN Development Alliance and all colleagues here.

Since we are talking about the new infrastructure of the blockchain, first of all, let's review what is the blockchain?

I am not an IT student, so I cannot understand a new technology from the code level. From a logical point of view, any new technology is a continuation of our human story. In order to continuously satisfy the desire of human beings to have more and more information, the speed of information transmission is getting faster and the distance of information transmission is getting farther and farther, we continue to carry out technological innovation and promote the rapid development of information technology. Similarly, the development of energy technology is also to satisfy people's desire to travel more and more, faster and farther. Therefore, we can say that it is human desires and human pursuits that drive the development of the entire technology.

Throughout the history of human informatization development, speaking 300,000 years ago was a huge informatization revolution. Until the emergence of our current blockchain technology, it is still a continuation of the human informatization revolution. There are rules to follow in the development of each information revolution. By changing the transmission and storage methods of information, the productivity and production relations of the entire human society are reconstructed, thereby promoting the development and progress of the entire society. The essence of blockchain is an upgrade of Internet data transmission and storage methods, optimizing and making up for the deficiencies in Internet transmission and storage, which is why blockchain is often called the second generation of professional Internet and value Internet. .

The core of the blockchain is the value transfer and credit mechanism. The distributed, transparent, traceable, and tamper-proof features of blockchain technology are just suitable for promoting the flattening of social governance structures, the transparency of governance and service processes, and by improving the credibility and security of data, promoting Modernization of social governance capabilities.

The blockchain is an underlying technology, and end users can hardly feel it. In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, we use the analogy of series and parallel to compare the data transmission methods of the Internet and the blockchain. The data transmission method of the Internet is a linear serial transmission method. For example, there are four business systems, and the data is transmitted from the business system one to the second, two to three, and three to four in series. However, the data transmission of the blockchain The method is parallel transmission, and the data is transmitted to the four business systems synchronously. During the study of BSN, our BSN Alliance concluded that blockchain technology has seven major benefits: first, it reduces the cost of reconciliation. It is to reduce development costs. We often have this experience when we are working on smart cities: special interfaces need to be developed for data interworking between systems, otherwise the systems will not know each other; the third is to prevent data falsification; the fourth is to facilitate data sharing. acquisition; the fifth is to cancel intermediate links; the sixth is to improve fault tolerance; the seventh is to expand the scope of supervision, etc.

Back to today's topic, what is the new infrastructure of the blockchain? The blockchain itself is a new infrastructure. The blockchain provides a brand-new data organization and application paradigm, which can realize collaborative trust and concerted action among multiple subjects, and promote data sharing, optimize business processes, reduce operating costs, It plays a fundamental role in improving collaboration efficiency and building a credible system, and it is a new type of technical infrastructure. On April 20 this year, the National Development and Reform Commission made it clear that blockchain is a new infrastructure. The blockchain is not only the "new infrastructure", but also the "infrastructure" of the "new infrastructure". As the capability improvement and evolution of the Internet technology, the blockchain technology will solve the security and credibility problems of the Internet technology. New infrastructure empowerment.

Any new technology should not only be viewed from a single technology, but must be combined with multiple technologies and specific business scenarios. For example, the combination of Internet technology and 4G technology has produced new technologies such as e-commerce and mobile payment. format.

Since the blockchain is the enhancement and evolution of Internet technology, the development of the blockchain industry must also require an infrastructure environment that can bring low costs to the entire industry just like the Internet. No matter how good the technology is, it cannot be developed if it is too expensive. Therefore, the blockchain service network chain BSN was born in the blockchain industry. Think about it carefully, if there is no Internet, will there be Ali and Tencent? Before the infrastructure of the Internet, it is impossible to build a website without a few million dollars. When Ma Yun and Ma Huateng started their businesses, they did not have that much money.

What are BSNs? BSN is a cross-cloud service, cross-portal, and cross-underlying framework for deploying and running a global public infrastructure network for blockchain applications. What problem does BSN solve? BSN mainly solves two major problems: the first solves the problem of cost, and the second solves the problem of interoperability.

You can understand BSN from "one spirit", "two major missions" and "three principles". "One spirit" is the spirit of the Internet. BSN fully complies with the spirit of the Internet and builds a global blockchain infrastructure environment. What are the "two missions"? One of the missions is to bring blockchain technology back to its origin. Blockchain is not only an application of virtual currency, but also empowers our real economy and business environment, and supports the modernization of our country's governance system and governance capabilities. The second mission is to reduce the cost so that an ordinary college student can innovate and start a business. Currently, the minimum cost to deploy a blockchain application on BSN is 1,500 yuan per year. The three principles of BSN are: first, do not follow the old path of the Internet. In the Internet age, we do not have the ability to build the bottom layer. We can only start with specific applications, forming a lot of information "islands" and "chimneys". Second, it cannot be kidnapped by a certain underlying framework. At present, the development of blockchain technology is in the early stage, and BSN supports multiple underlying frameworks. People often ask: What is the difference between your BSN and fabric? What is the difference between your BSN and AntChain? We are not a simple chain. BSN does not contradict any specific chain. BSN is a large environment that supports multiple chains. For example, just like the operating system of our mobile phone, there were multiple in the early days, and the main ones that survived in the end were Android and IOS. The underlying framework of the blockchain does not know which ones will survive in the future, so BSN must adapt to multiple underlying frameworks , It is also necessary to do a good job in the intercommunication and migration mechanism between multiple frameworks. If one day the underlying framework is eliminated, the application needs to be migrated to the living underlying framework. Third, adapt to the open source underlying framework, and prevent risks from the review of the underlying code.

At present, the entire BSN network is divided into "BSN China" and "BSN International" according to "one network, two systems", and they respectively abide by the laws and regulations within their respective service scopes. Both parties always maintain common technology and version consistency.

At present, BSN has covered six continents in the world, with 131 city nodes of blockchain public resource pools and three types of portals. BSN has always adhered to the concept of open integration, mutual benefit and win-win, and ecological co-governance. All colleagues here are welcome to build BSN, a global blockchain public infrastructure.

BSN will become a new engine for the high-quality development of "new infrastructure". Just like the Internet has public network, private network, and metropolitan area network, our BSN also has public network, private network, and backbone network. In short, BSN is a blockchain public infrastructure that crosses underlying frameworks, cross-cloud services, and cross-portals. Our common goal is to continuously optimize BSN. Heterogeneous blockchain application data interoperability. Only when everyone can afford it and all application data can communicate with each other can BSN become a real blockchain Internet.
