Zhongguancun "blockchain" technology landed in Zhongshan

On the afternoon of March 19, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao "Blockchain" Application Seminar was held in Torch Development Zone. At this seminar, several platforms including the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Collaborative Innovation Center of the Zhongguancun Blockchain Industry Alliance and Guangdong Blockchain Application Technology Research Co., Ltd. were unveiled at the same time and officially settled in Zhongshan.

According to Huang Xiaogang, general manager of Zhongshan Xiangyun Technology, blockchain is the core underlying technology of Bitcoin, which has been hotly discussed in recent years. "Blockchain is a string of data blocks generated by cryptographic methods, which can provide a multi-centralized credit accumulation paradigm. Its characteristics are the elimination of intermediaries, high transparency of information, and difficulty in tampering."

At the seminar, experts pointed out that blockchain will have a profound impact on national financial institutions. Wang Anping, Secretary General of Zhongguancun Blockchain Alliance, said: "Blockchain is like a multi-center database ledger that records all transaction records. It allows participants in the blockchain to achieve a unified ledger system without establishing a trust relationship. This is of great significance to financial institutions. It may change my country's Internet financial industry within five years." It is reported that blockchain technology can be divided into public chain, private chain and alliance chain. Customized selection can be made according to different application scenarios and user needs, thereby effectively reducing the cost and trust risk of financial institutions, and driving the birth of new business models.

Huang Xiaogang said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Collaborative Innovation Center of the Zhongguancun Blockchain Industry Alliance will use Zhongshan as a base to promote the application of blockchain technology in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao market. Currently, the center has six laboratories, mainly studying the application of business points, culture and art, barter trade, government affairs, education, finance and other directions. The center plans to incubate a number of downstream blockchain application companies in the Torch Development Zone within a few years.
