On January 5, in the staff canteen of Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, a doctor was using technology provided by China Post Savings Bank and was the first to use the digital RMB "hard wallet" to achieve a one-stop experience of ordering, consumption, and payment.

This pilot is the first time that a hard wallet payment mode without a mobile phone has been implemented in Shanghai, following the mobile phone code scanning and tap-to-pay in Shenzhen and Suzhou, which enriches the landing scenarios of digital RMB. According to statistics, there are more than 6,700 digital RMB pilot scenarios in China, covering many fields such as life payment, catering services, transportation, shopping, government services, etc.

Blockchain technology has many advantages in security and reliability. The underlying technology of the digital RMB also draws on and absorbs blockchain technology. This is not only a case in which blockchain technology will enter thousands of households as an underlying technology, but also a reflection of the national recognition of high-tech technologies such as blockchain . Next, let us take a look at the latest summary of blockchain policies in various provinces and cities in 2020.

Compared with traditional industries, although blockchain is an emerging industry, new industries have broader opportunities and more fertile soil. Compared with the class stratification of traditional industries, the blockchain industry is more like an uncultivated land, giving everyone more opportunities to cultivate and create.

If blockchain is the dividend of the times, then IPFS & Filecoin are the dividends of the blockchain era . If blockchain projects are to be better implemented and developed, they must solve the underlying data storage problem.

IPFS & Filecoin make up for the shortcomings of the existing blockchain system in file storage , combining the permanent file storage of IPFS with the tamper-proof and timestamp-proof features of blockchain . Users can use IPFS to store data, and then store the corresponding encrypted hash in the blockchain and timestamp it. In this way, there is no need to put the data itself on the chain, which not only saves the network bandwidth of the blockchain, but also effectively protects it.

At the same time, IPFS has also established an incentive layer, Filecoin, through the token economy of blockchain, thereby building a distributed storage network with high standards and high service quality, in order to attract customers with storage needs and increase user stickiness, thereby promoting the development of the IPFS&Filecoin network.
