On the one hand, the number of landings indicates that the application of blockchain technology is steadily advancing, and the value of blockchain to various industries is being proven.

The number of blockchain landings in 2019 has been remarkable, and the role of blockchain in solving real industry pain points has become increasingly significant. In December, several parks of the State Grid Shandong Electric Power Company reduced the design capacity of charging piles by 57%, reduced the overall electricity cost by 7%, and increased photovoltaic revenue by 12% by constructing a blockchain distributed energy trading platform.

The financial field has always been regarded as the best application scenario of blockchain technology. Since 2019, in the application of blockchain in the financial field, cross-border services based on cross-border payments, and inclusive financial products such as supply chain finance for small, medium and micro enterprises have been the focus of implementation.

It is worth mentioning that the use cases of blockchain in cross-border finance are more prominent, with a total of 38 cases recorded. Among them, China has the largest number of cross-border service applications, with 18 cases. From a global perspective, Southeast Asian countries are more keen on cross-border applications than European and American countries. For example, Thai Commercial Bank Ayutthaya Bank launched a blockchain solution in November that can be used for cross-border payments and trade between Thailand and Laos; the Central Bank of Cambodia tested digital wallet (Bakong) in October to simplify cross-border payments …

In terms of inclusive financial products, China's four major banks, industries, banks, core companies, and technology companies have entered the bureau, and they are also used internationally. In November, the Bank of China Zhejiang Branch launched the "Tmall Dealer Supply Chain Financing Product"; in October, the "China-Europe e-Single Link" developed by the head office of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was officially opened in the Qingbaijiang Railway Port Area of ​​the Sichuan Pilot Free Trade Zone. Provide trade logistics information support for SME financing; Singapore's largest commercial bank DBS Bank launched a multi-layer financing tool on the logistics blockchain platform in September to help Chinese SMEs obtain trade financing faster.

In addition to finance, government affairs have also been the focus of implementation. Some people think that government affairs may be more suitable for blockchain applications. Wang Jing, a partner and head of the blockchain business at Ernst & Young, said at the "IN-CHAIN ​​Global Blockchain Summit" in December that blockchain has not yet become the mainstream technology in the financial industry, but in many countries, blockchain Has become the mainstream technology in the field of smart government affairs.

The government's acceptance of blockchain is increasing. In July 2019, the data directories of all government departments in Beijing were locked and shared in the form of a blockchain, forming a "directory chain". On this basis, the data can be used to finance private small and micro enterprises. In addition, domestic cities such as Jinan, Loudi, and Qingdao have successively carried out the construction of digital governments. Foreign countries such as Bermuda, Japan have developed a blockchain-based national identity card system; Malta's national commercial registry has introduced blockchain technology; the Brazilian government of Sao Paulo will register public works projects through the blockchain.

Blockchain applications are also widely used in entertainment, social and content, industrial, and daily consumption. At the same time, some native applications of blockchain have emerged in 2019, such as in the public welfare, giving participants behavioral value, and the value can be converted.

Starting in November 2019, the Taoyuanju Community in Jian'ou District, Nanjing has piloted the storage of public welfare time in Alipay, redeemed pension services, and recorded the entire process on the blockchain. In December, Alibaba's 3-hour charity platform announced that it will use blockchain technology to make it recordable, shareable, and incentivizable during charity. Putuo District of Shanghai in March used "blockchain technology" to combine community home care and neighborhood mutual assistance to launch a "time bank" pilot for old-age care services.

In combination with previous application cases, the question "Blockchain can be used, but where should it be used?" Has basically been answered in 2019: in scenarios that require multi-party collaboration, need to process a large amount of data, and require trust transfer.

China leads the way, national pattern of top ten blockchain applications

Regarding the country as the boundary, among the countries in the world, China has the largest number of blockchain applications, with a total of 400, accounting for 47% of the total.

At the same time, the landing options of the top ten application countries in the second half of 2019 were slightly adjusted from the first half. In the first half of the year, China, Russia, and South Korea gave priority to the development of government affairs. The United Kingdom, India, and India paid the most attention to finance.

South Korea ’s financial applications are also increasing in the second half of the year, such as launching real estate digital securities and supply chain financial products.

In October, TBS Holdings used blockchain technology to switch electricity from the company's theaters and homes to renewable energy. In August, the Japanese electric power company Minden supplied renewable energy power to Chiba University of Commerce in Japan. The company determined the power generation through blockchain technology and could reliably supply solar power to schools.

In 2019, the blockchain application race in various countries in the world has begun to see high and low levels, and the applications in the financial and government fields are on a par with each other. The development of blockchain technology and the needs of existing industries continue to promote the application. In 2020, whether the blockchain application will continue the record of 2019 or go out of a new mode, let us wait and see!
