What Sparks Will Come Out Of The Combination Of Blockchain And Government Affairs?

Text | Xiaojing Observation

The "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a National Comprehensive Online Government Service Platform" issued on July 31, 2018 proposed that a national comprehensive online government service platform should be fully completed by the end of 2022 to achieve "one network" operation. However, e-government is still Facing pain points such as data silos, high costs, network security, low efficiency, and lack of supervision.

The development of blockchain technology provides new solutions for e-government affairs. This project focuses on the application of blockchain technology in the field of e-government. We invited three industry experts. The first is Li Tianbai, chairman of Siyuan Internet Technology, the second is Li Shunjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Blockchain Branch of China Software Industry Association, and the third is Li Junming, founding partner of Qinglian Capital and founder of Qinglian. This issue combines their sharing content to introduce the application innovation of blockchain in the field of e-government and their insights into the blockchain industry.

01. Siyuan Technology Blockchain Business Solutions

At the 2019 Beijing International Trade Fair, Beijing Siyuan Internet Technology Co., Ltd., which has successfully created a series of digital city models such as "Jingtong" and "eFuzhou", launched innovative blockchain solutions and their applications in the commercial and government fields. ,educate. A series of on-site solutions, the blockchain client "Secret Mail" was also unveiled. Public information shows that at the second "Digital China" Construction Summit held in early May, Siyuan released "blockchain government solutions" and "blockchain education solutions", which attracted widespread attention. Among them, the "blockchain government solution" launched by Siyuan Technology solves problems such as data security sharing, mutual recognition, non-tampering, and traceability by building a technical platform such as a blockchain business data organization method, which is conducive to promoting government information construction. Government information system integration and sharing. . It can be seen that in the field of blockchain technology solutions, Siyuan Technology has long-term accumulated advantages and has actual cases of successful implementation.

As the chairman and chief scientist of Siyuan Technology, guest Li Tianbai introduced the basic ideas of Siyuan Technology’s solutions in the direction of blockchain, “We put the main application scenario of the first application on blockchain government affairs. Based on the latest The basic idea is that we should release fairer and more just capabilities to the entire society, change the current situation of our society, and improve the government's service capabilities. Although the original intention is the same, the specific methods used are different. Same. For example , we may adopt the key paradigm that MIT proposed a few years ago. Here is the hash proof of the data. There are two types of government blockchains. One solution is the data we are leading now. It flows freely. Yours All certificates, certificates and identity information are kept with you. You have the right to provide this information on any occasion. I just prove its authenticity on the chain without storing this data. This can facilitate the flow of data; second It is currently a popular solution in China, which is to actually put the data on the blockchain, but how to obtain the data? You still rely on the power system and authorization system to obtain these data. But in my opinion, this is just to put the blockchain It has become another storage form of the original central database. I think this does not represent the true essence and spirit behind the blockchain. Although everyone is working hard to bring the concept of blockchain government affairs into society, after all, we still face There are many concepts, habits, and some misunderstandings about our traditional data.”

In addition, Li Tianbai also pointed out that if it is only based on the blockchain itself, the real implementation of the data value network cannot be realized. Therefore, the introduction of blockchain into society must be a comprehensive social engineering, and several large systems constitute a complete usable system. It can be seen that the implementation of blockchain government solutions is not only to provide innovative technical solutions, but also to integrate with social systems in the process, bringing key values, perspectives and theories into it, so that the technical solutions can truly be implemented. Implement.

02. Blockchain + e-government promotes the construction of digital government

As mobile Internet technology continues to innovate and the country further promotes "Internet + government services" such as "one-stop service", the application of blockchain technology in the field of government services has increasingly formed a consensus across the country. As a leader in the field of government informatization, Siyuan Technology has successfully created a series of "smart city" platforms such as "Beijing Tong" and "e Fuzhou". We can see that in practice in this field, the biggest benefit is to promote the construction of digital government, which can be seen from the blockchain "one-stop service" solution launched by Siyuan Technology. Through the comprehensive use of certificate chain, authentication chain, material chain and other technical means, we can help government departments establish a mutual trust and recognition mechanism for data calls, open up "data chimneys", and achieve the integration of government department data and social institution data in a secure environment. Desensitized sharing can identify the authenticity of service materials and realize cross-field collaboration between government services and public services.

From "online services" to "full online services" to "one-stop services", the government continues to increase efforts to optimize service processes and improve the business environment, and citizens and businesses have increasingly higher expectations for efficient services. Cross-department collaboration and mutual recognition of data are key links in “one-stop service”. Due to the large number of original systems in government departments and their scattered construction, there is a lack of effective coordination mechanisms between departments, making it difficult to truly realize "one-stop service"; in addition, the data of each department under the original sharing mechanism is not clearly identified and verified, and data sharing Unable to record. Regardless of whether it has been tampered with or not, it is difficult to truly achieve "mutual data recognition." In the construction process of "one-stop service", if the data and service links cannot be opened, the pain points of "large amounts of materials, long journeys, long queues, and long waiting times" cannot be solved. service people and businesses.

As Li Shunjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Blockchain Branch of the China Software Association, said, "Digital government, smart government, and smart government will develop in this way, and the efficiency improvements and cost reductions brought about by their development will be huge." The promotion of the entire society will not only involve the leaders, but also involve the government's Internet access project. In the past, it was called computers and Internet access, but now it is to promote our country's Internet access project. Importantly, it uses the asymmetric encryption technology and public-private key mechanism of the blockchain to ensure the security of data assets in public and government departments. It can solve the information security problems caused by the public sharing of data and eliminate the participation of all parties." Worry about privacy leaks , to ensure data storage and security in the construction process of "Internet + Government Services". "Clear rights and responsibilities" also enables real-time sharing, mutual recognition, and flexible transfer of data between departments, truly realizing "one-stop service."

It can be seen that Siyuan Technology’s practice in this field has been highly recognized by government customers and corporate customers. The blockchain solution proposed by Siyuan supports the business with a light accounting of shared certifications and will not change the authority's approach to the license issuance process. Management and control can also achieve flexible use, efficient sharing and mutual recognition of data. This is an idea worthy of reference and research by entrepreneurs in this field, and the blockchain + e-government model also provides more for digital government construction. Feasible technological innovation solutions.

03. Overall view on blockchain project investment

Li Junming, the founding partner of Qinglian Capital, is a very experienced investor in the industry. Have extensive understanding and practical experience in blockchain technology. He introduced the composition of Qinglian Capital’s investment business. There are several main directions for investment. The first is the infrastructure of the blockchain, including some ecology; the second direction is the public chain or surrounding areas where there is currently relatively little investment. Some related technical agreements; The third is application projects, including e-government related fields. He introduced his investment experience in this field and his understanding of blockchain technology from many different angles. We can roughly summarize it into the following three points:

First, technical level. Blockchain is a distributed database. Blockchain is a new application model of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm. In this mode, the previous operating mode of the database is changed. Traditional database operations include four operations: create, read, update, and delete. In blockchain mode, there are only three operations: create, read, and write. Data is not updated or deleted, is permanently saved, cannot be tampered with, and is permanently traceable. This provides a “foundation” for big data (and deep learning and artificial intelligence based on big data), the sharing economy, and the Internet of Things, which is the technical foundation for blockchain e-government applications.

Secondly, blockchain enables the Internet to shift from "information transmission" to "value transmission". The huge ledger based on distributed database enables people to transfer value online as conveniently, quickly and cost-effectively as information. These values ​​may be in the form of funds, assets, or other forms. The Internet of Value will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to people's lives just like the Internet of Information. By building a value network, changing the resource allocation and value network structure in the government governance process is the innovative development direction of blockchain e-government.

Third, blockchain provides the foundation and guarantee for reconstructing production relations. Among the popular technologies in recent years, some people have concluded that big data is the means of production, artificial intelligence is productivity, and blockchain is production relations. With blockchain technology, big data has a foundation, artificial intelligence is guaranteed, and blockchain can reconstruct production relationships in a higher dimension. Promoting the implementation of solutions through the integration of blockchain technology and other technologies is an inevitable choice for technological innovation related to blockchain e-government.

(Guest Li Junming)

The last few speakers shared their views on the role of blockchain technology in digital identity and confirmation of rights, particularly in relation to data rights. Guest Li Tianbai believes that blockchain technology is helping to build a bridge between people and the digital world. The key issues that blockchain government solves are the boundaries between public and private data, and how to allow private data to flow freely, because the flow of private data is a sign of our authority. Li Shunjiang believes that blockchain technology has promoted a new wave of innovation. The core of blockchain government affairs is to use blockchain technology to help the government better manage and allocate the entire social resources. Enable future digital government implementation through data-based thinking and methods. Li Junming proposed that how to use blockchain to open up data islands among various departments within the government is the key. Only in this way can big data be truly applied.

That’s the review of this issue. Several guests in this issue analyzed the development and application scenarios of blockchain e-government from the perspectives of technological innovation, government department functions and specific application scenarios. Blockchain technology is promoting the construction of digital government and the development of digital society. This not only requires innovation in corporate technology, but also requires more government investment in this field and a change in cognitive concepts. We hope that people of insight will work with us to promote the healthy development of blockchain government affairs and promote blockchain technology to play a greater role in the new wave of digital economy.
