After many years of concussion, block chain is ushered in the inflection point of policy with the continuous trial of industry application. On October 24, the political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the 18th collective learning on the development status and trend of block chain technology. The industry behind the news is that the block chain no longer uses digital money as the only application scenario. Since 2016, the application of block chain technology in industries other than digital currency has developed rapidly, and three ecological plates including infrastructure, industry applications and integrated services have gradually formed. In January this year, the "White Paper on Block chain Patent situation", version 1.0, issued by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, shows that Former block chain patents are mainly distributed in the United States, China, the United Kingdom and South Korea. Of the top 50 most influential block chain scholars in the world in 2018, 30 percent came from the United States, 28 percent from China and 42 percent from other countries.
Since 2017, the company of domestic interest block chain application starts to run, with Internet giant, financial technology company and primary and secondary bank. The application and landing of block chain also takes root from the financial industry and gradually extends to a plurality of traditional industries. The noise of the application and the silence of the technology are a characteristic of the development of the block chain. In the interview, the digital industry experts point out that, with the integration of the block-chain technology and the depth of each industry, it will also usher in the big development of the block-chain industry, but the blind application of the block-chain technology is still needed, and the benign development of the block chain is maintained.

Block chain has its own financial attributes, and its technical characteristics are very suitable for the transaction needs of the financial industry. But the financial industry is not the only application scenario where block chain technology can land. As early as 2016, the White Paper on Block chain Technology and Application Development in China issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has listed six application scenarios with relatively mature applications, broad application prospects or potential application value, including financial services, supply chain management, cultural entertainment, intelligent manufacturing, social welfare, education and employment, and so on. In the past three years, the number of industry service companies in the field of block chain has exceeded that of financial companies, and has become the most popular application direction of block chain technology. .
Since 2017, Tencent, Ant Financial Services Group, JD.com, Citic Group, Ping an Group and so on have launched block chain BaaS platform for corporate customers, which has covered many fields, such as finance, real estate, government affairs, medical care, logistics, smart city and so on. In the initial stage of block chain ecology, there has been a trend of standing in many ways. In the early exploration of block chain application, the application form of digital money with block chain as the underlying technology dominated, and the barbarous digital currency also gave rise to many problems and prejudices. In this round of new upsurge, we still need to be alert to the speculation in the first wave of block chain boom, and to guard against the circle of money fraud in the coin circle.
"China's block chain application is in the forefront of the world, has become a hundred flowers blooming trend." Li Ming, director of the Block chain Research Office of the China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that at present, the application of block chain in China is developing rapidly. Although the underlying technology platform is still dependent on foreign countries, the overall level is in the forefront of the international community. "among the more than ten standards of the international standard of block chain, China has contributed two important standards."
It must be clear that the profit of the block chain technology is not equal to the recognition of ICO and the disguised currency, but also the circle of money fraud of the fund disc under the banner of the block chain. "The government of the China Financial Research Center of the Institute of Management of Tsinghua University has always been encouraging the support of the technology application of the block chain, but it is firmly forbidden to use the block chain to issue the virtual currency, and to hype the air coin, which is the same as the regional block chain technology innovation, and encourages the technology application and the industrial development, not the recognition of the virtual currency".
"At this stage, the industry should be based on the real application scenario, deep ploughing its own field, based on accurate rigid requirements rather than demand, consider whether the pain point must be solved by block chain technology." Hu Liming, general manager of Tencent Financial Cloud, told China Newsweek that only by rationally looking at the development trend of block chain and its value in traditional industries and making rational use of the advantages of block chain can we really promote the development of ecological industry in the era of "block chain".
"Judging whether an enterprise really has block chain applications depends on the commercial value and social benefits it can eventually create." He Ping bluntly said to China News Weekly, "the so-called innovation of some projects is divorced from the needs of the real economy and is completely speculative, and strict punishment mechanisms should be put in place to control them." Tencent cloud block chain responsible person also believes that in the early stage of industry development, the early outbreak of industry dividends easy to let practitioners lose their original heart, loss of professional ethics, but also attracted some ulterior motives "gold digger" in the name of the development of the industry fraud circle money, dampening investors' trust but also tarnishing the industry reputation.
