As is known to all, 2018 is the first year of the public chain.
In fact, in the blockchain world, every common chain can be regarded as a continent. However, these continents are still floating alone, and the existence of straddling chains is to build Bridges and channels between them. Only in this way, will the blockchain world be truly from loose to unified, and the ecology will be truly established and the value will be maximized.
So what does it cross?
Many people believe that cross-linking is mainly to connect the information flow between block chains and transfer the Token on one chain to another. In fact, this understanding is not accurate enough; In the process of cross chain, the process of information transfer is only two books synchronous data, is not the ultimate purpose and as a result, cross chain under the precondition of the conservation of value, is the nature of the value chain in different blocks flow between process.
In other words, if cross-linking is understood only as the transmission of information flow, then the dual payment problem will become a nightmare in the process of cross-linking. The block chain shall record is the nature of value, and across the chain transmission is also value: a single block chain solutions to the distributed situation is how accurate accounting problems, cross chain solution by two distributed books for the same user or a different user account control Token transfer occurs, how to keep an accurate record in the books.
Second, what are the ways to implement cross-chain technology?
At present, the mainstream cross-chain technology mainly includes: notary mechanism, side chain technology, relay technology, hash lock, distributed private key control and so on.
In the development of cross-chain technology, the early focus was on asset transfer function, and the representative technologies were raybo verification technology and BTCRelay side chain technology. In the medium term, more attention has been paid to the construction of cross-chain infrastructure, represented by relay technologies such as Polkadot and Cosmos; With the rapid development of cross-chain technology, the development of intelligent contract and block ecology has become more important, and representative technologies such as Wanchain and FUSION have emerged.
Thirdly, what are the main application scenarios of cross-chain technology?
The purpose of cross-chain is to accurately record accounts and to facilitate the flow of information between chains.
Therefore, the first application of cross-link is the digital currency trading field. Through the cross-link technology, people can easily realize the basic functions of digital currency borrowing, digital currency payment and settlement, digital currency exchange, digital asset investment and financing. It is also easy to issue multiple credit CARDS based on digital currency, package various assets for asset securitization, and extend P2P services based on multiple digital currencies.
, of course, with the development of technology across the chain, as more and more chain to join later, cross chain scenarios also will be more and more rich, tourism, games, gen, media and so on, as long as we can think of the scene will become one of the ring.
Finally, what are the main landing projects of cross-link technology?
At present, many teams have seen the great potential of cross-chain technology, and many of them are familiar projects:
For example, the most promising HSR in the early stage aims to realize the value circulation of different public chains, that is, the construction of side chains. In addition to the previous period, it is mainly because the news about HSR in recent period has been mostly negative, and investors' confidence is also slightly insufficient.
For example, many investors chose BTM, which successfully launched its main network in June this year, and there was a sharp rise. Although prices have fallen sharply in the recent downturn, they are still worth watching.
For another example, the WAN of 2.0 main network will be launched recently. It is said that after the launch of 2.0 main network, the WAN will realize the cross-chain transmission of itaifang, which will become the first cross-link landing project in the real sense. If the main network goes online as scheduled and debugging is successful, WAN may have a big increase, it is suggested to focus on it.
In 2018, the currency circle was depressed, but the blockchain technology did not relax at all. We have reason to believe that with the development of blockchain technology, there will be projects that truly represent value in the currency circle. We look forward to catching them together.
