On January 29, the National Blockchain Innovation Application Pilot Summary and Exchange Conference hosted by the Information Development Bureau of the Cyberspace Administration of China was held in our city, and the conference released the "China Blockchain Innovation and Application Development Report (2023)". The report shows that China's blockchain technology is deeply integrated with public services, the real economy and other fields, and all localities are taking scenarios as the traction to promote the accelerated implementation of blockchain technology in the real economy, government services, public services, digital twins and other fields, and activate new impetus for development.
As of December 2023, 29 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country have included the development of blockchain technology in their local "14th Five-Year Plan", and a total of 3,647 domestic blockchain information services have been included in the national record, covering important areas such as the real economy, social governance, people's livelihood services, and financial technology.
The combined development of blockchain government affairs and people's livelihood is particularly prominent. Dong Jin, director of the National Blockchain Technology Innovation Center, introduced that many places in China have accelerated the integration of blockchain technology into the whole process of government service applications, and created a new paradigm of "non-sense" government services with the service model of "blockchain data sharing".
For example, Yuzhong District, as a blockchain pilot in our city, has launched a public service platform for chain evidence preservation in conjunction with the Chongqing Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, and has completed the blockchain technology storage for more than 10 million literary and creative works in the city, and promoted the connection between on-chain data and the judicial system, providing a basis for rights protection and confirmation in the later stage.
Similar service applications based on blockchain technology are not uncommon across the country: for example, Haidian District, Beijing, has created a convenient settlement model of "credit medical insurance" to support the sharing of credit settlement information for cross-institutional services and provide patients with more convenient medical services; The Jinan Housing Provident Fund Center, together with the cities in the Yellow River Basin, has created a scenario platform supported by blockchain technology - "Digital Yellow River Chain" to promote the trusted sharing of government affairs data and social data.
According to the report, China's blockchain innovation and application ecology has gradually improved, and in addition to a strong technology and industrial foundation, it also has talent advantages. In recent years, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has promulgated three national vocational and technical skills standards, including intelligent manufacturing engineering and technical personnel, big data engineering and technical personnel, and blockchain engineering and technical personnel. A total of more than 20 colleges and universities in China have opened blockchain professional courses to provide talent support for the development of blockchain.
However, blockchain applications also face many problems such as serious homogenization and regulatory difficulties. The report points out that from the technology, application and industry levels, we should promote the penetration of blockchain into a wider field and deeper scenarios, evolve from a single technical concept to a trusted collaboration network that carries user trust and industrial value, and explore the integration and innovation with a new generation of Internet technologies such as the metaverse.
At the summary exchange meeting, the final evaluation of the national blockchain innovation application pilot was also reported, and the results of the 2023 blockchain innovation application case collection and selection were released.
