The clarion call of the "smart revolution" has sounded. Can blockchain and the Internet of Things become powerful weapons to boost the development of the real economy?

Ordinary people may not have a clear idea of ​​the leading power in the formulation of international standards for the Internet of Things. However, whoever masters the formulation of standards will have the initiative in the market. This is a war without gunpowder between countries and a competition of strength between countries.

In May 2015, Dr. Shen Jie was invited to participate in the recording of the CCTV program "Dialogue". "That day I received a call from the program team inviting me to participate in the discussion. The program team said that the topic of discussion was 'the battle for the formulation of IoT standards' and wanted to invite me to participate and make a presentation. I was quite excited on the other end of the phone. I was not excited to participate in the CCTV program, but I was excited that I could share the fierce battle for the formulation of IoT standards between countries with the Chinese people, so that everyone can feel the difficulty and honor together."

The Internet of Things is the third wave of the information industry and the fourth industrial revolution supported by the physical information system. From the perspective of the industrial system and national security, the importance of the formulation of the Internet of Things standards is that once the information of the country and the people is perceived by the Internet of Things regulatory system, the enemy country can know us very well, and the security and sovereignty of the country will be under the tyranny of the enemy country. On the other hand, it can also be seen that the important value generated by the Internet of Things itself includes social value, market value, economic value, etc.

As the chief editor who once took the lead in formulating the world's first international standard ISO/IES30141 for the Internet of Things reference architecture on behalf of China , Shen Jie stood out in the "picky" defense of Internet of Things experts from various countries . As a Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he has accumulated profound professional qualities in many years of research on Internet of Things standards and can forge ahead bravely under great responsibilities. He wants to promote the Internet of Things, an important medium connecting the physical world and the virtual world, and hopes that China can lead the world in this field.

Although the Internet of Things has gone through more than ten years of preliminary development, it still encounters many bottlenecks. How to break through? The emergence of blockchain technology has added a powerful weapon to the battlefield of this "smart revolution".

In 2013, Chinese experts led by Shen Jie proposed the Internet of Things reference architecture standard (ISO/IEC 30141 DIS, GB/T 33474-2016) based on the "six-domain model" to effectively guide various industries to establish an Internet of Things operation service system to ensure the actual effective operation, sustainable development and commercial closed-loop construction of Internet of Things applications . However, there are still many problems in terms of device security and identity credit, data privacy, and data openness and utilization. The Internet of Things can bridge the physical world and the virtual world, but there is still a lack of effective means in the construction of network credit system and value system, and blockchain has brought strong support for this defect. At the same time, after nearly three years of research, it has been found that while blockchain supports the improvement of the Internet of Things, the Internet of Things can also provide huge and high-value digital resources for blockchain, especially public and open source blockchains, forming an ecological system of mutual promotion and symbiosis, and the problems in the development of the Internet of Things can also be solved.

With this important discovery, under the leadership of Shen Jie, on the one hand, they began to implement it in the agricultural field, and on the other hand, they established the Six Domain Blockchain Joint Laboratory and began to build Six Domain Chain (SDChain) - the world's first decentralized public blockchain ecosystem that integrates the international and national standards of the Internet of Things "Six Domain Model" and distributed blockchain reference architecture standards.

"Six Domain Chain" fully considers the technical characteristics of the Internet of Things and the needs of business ecosystem construction . It conducts in-depth optimization on the basis of existing blockchain technology in terms of digital asset issuance, user credit identity management, P2P communication, encryption algorithm, consensus algorithm, smart contract, cross-chain contract model, market-based consensus incentives, decentralized DApp, and rapid access to new businesses, in order to ensure the healthy, rapid and sustainable development of the Six Domain Chain business ecosystem, realize the symbiosis and prosperity of currency, chain and industrial Internet of Things, efficiently realize the circulation and value transformation of credit digital assets, and create a global benchmark for blockchain and Internet of Things to promote the development of the real society.

Due to the complexity of cross-border and cross-industry , most blockchain and IoT projects are still at the stage of private chain or alliance chain, and there is no effective public chain ecosystem for IoT. Since IoT industry applications often involve multiple types of business entities and a long industrial chain spanning information technology and industry, on the other hand, there are indeed common reference designs, resource sharing and collaboration needs between IoT systems in different industries . Therefore , it is particularly necessary to establish a public blockchain and provide comprehensive support services based on the characteristics of the IoT industry ecosystem.

Taking agriculture as an example, on the one hand , the Internet of Things can be relied on to substantially enter the agricultural production and circulation links , improve the efficiency of traditional operations, control food safety, tap the huge potential of agriculture, and create incremental value; on the other hand, relying on the characteristics of blockchain technology and decentralized model, "link" various agricultural digital assets generated by the Internet of Things, establish a full-process credit cooperation system, solve the pain points of current agricultural transformation and agricultural product consumption upgrades, increase farmers' income, and provide consumers with food safety and quality assurance. At the same time, the Internet of Things also continues to create huge digital asset resources for blockchain, and its future economic value and social value are both huge, and will bring about a smart revolution in the agricultural field.

SDChain will focus on the application needs of specific industries and, based on the reference architecture of the " Six Domain Model " of the Internet of Things, gradually promote the establishment of industry-specific DApps, such as the agricultural Internet of Things, the industrial Internet of Things, the energy Internet of Things, the health Internet of Things , etc. , provide digital asset issuance for each DApp, and provide a series of services such as digital credit identity registration and management on the Six Domain Chain for various user entities in the six domains of the Internet of Things, data chaining, data confirmation, data query, smart contract setting, smart contract triggering, automatic account division, etc., to ensure the consistency, authenticity and immutability of data, establish an asymmetric credit mechanism between people and things - ACM, and ensure the security, effectiveness and value interconnection of data assets.

Through the fixed-quota issuance of the 6DChain encrypted digital token - 6DToken SDT, it can be used for digital asset circulation transactions, accounting consumption and consensus rewards on the 6DChain , as well as application ecosystem incubation, community building, market promotion, etc. With the continuous prosperity of the 6DChain business ecosystem, the three elements of currency, chain and industrial Internet of Things will surely coexist and prosper together , and continuously improve their respective value and benefits.

Based on the large amount of encrypted data resources in the blockchain , we will establish a win-win cooperation ecosystem, continuously explore potential value, incubate innovative applications, and drive the efficient and coordinated development of IoT technology and artificial intelligence innovation, IoT financial service innovation, supply chain traceability service innovation, and market service innovation.

Shen Jie believes that "if we want the data on the Internet of Things to generate more value, we must have the support of blockchain. However, blockchain cannot belong to a completely centralized traditional corporate entity. If it is a corporate entity, there will be a problem of interest game. So I think I like blockchain from the bottom of my heart. It can create a new collaboration model for our business ecosystem, that is, decentralized business interest entities. It does not serve a specific interest group, but continuously creates value for all entities in the ecosystem, and it continues to evolve and the ecosystem becomes more prosperous."

Therefore, as an open source public blockchain project, SDChain intends to use the standard architecture system of blockchain and IoT integration to realize business model innovation for applications in various industries, realize the consumption and circulation of high-value information, and make data generate greater economic and social value. At present, it has reached cooperation intentions with smart agriculture (Qingyutang, etc.), smart parking (Huitong Electronics, etc.), and smart health (Engu Technology, etc.). In the future, it will promote the cooperative development of the integration of ARM's mbed IoT platform and blockchain, and continue to expand to important industry application fields to jointly build a prosperous IoT and blockchain ecosystem. At present, the team has completed private placement and plans to conduct ICO.

On August 29, SDChain will launch ICO on ICOTime, btc123, 3ico, HelloBTS, Yunchou123, and BitcoinWorld platforms. Stay tuned.
