Recently, an online promotion event for the new book "Introduction to Blockchain" was successfully held, focusing on blockchain underlying technology and industrial development trends. As the chief editor of the book, Professor Chen Zhong from Peking University and Shan Zhiguang, Director of the Informationization and Industrial Development Department of the National Information Center, attended the event and shared their insightful perspectives.

Dan Zhiguang emphasized that blockchain is essentially a distributed database that provides trusted attributes, capable of compensating for the shortcomings of the internet in terms of trustworthiness. He predicts that as application scenarios continue to expand, blockchain will play a key role in the development of digital industrialization.

Chen Zhongze pointed out that to fully realize the potential of Blockchain, efforts need to be continuously made in five directions in the future: strengthening the independent innovation of core technologies in alliance chains, promoting the standardization process, deepening industrial applications, facilitating innovation in regulatory technology, and promoting the modernization of social governance.

The deputy editor of this book stated that the blockchain market still has great development potential and will usher in a new era of the digital economy. According to reports, this textbook was co-authored by 22 experts and scholars from domestic universities and enterprises, taking a year and a half to complete.

In terms of industrial application, 2021 witnessed the accelerated implementation of Blockchain technology.

Senior Engineer Xiang Lipeng from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that Blockchain is empowering government systems, promoting the development of social governance towards digitalization, intelligence, refinement, and legalization.

Pei Qingqi, the Executive Director of the Shaanxi Province Blockchain and Security Computing Key Laboratory, believes that the integration of Blockchain and privacy computing will significantly enhance data credibility and value, driving the transformation of the data market. Tan Min, the head of the Digital Economy Technology Promotion Group at China Mobile Design Institute, further points out that the future restructuring of the internet will be based on the integration of Blockchain, privacy computing, and distributed technologies.

As important participants in the blockchain field, some enterprises are committed to building an open ecosystem and contributing to industry standard formulation, technology research and development, empowering the real economy, education and training, and industrial ecosystem construction.

As the world economy accelerates its digital transformation, blockchain, as the cornerstone of digital economic development, is becoming increasingly important. Industry insiders are calling for the promotion of such educational materials to inspire more people to understand and engage in the blockchain field, collectively exploring new opportunities for digital economic development.
