Mapping Technological Trajectories And Forecasting The Trend Of Blockchain Technology In China

Blockchain is a rapidly developing emerging technology in the Internet era.Its characteristics of decentralization,distributed storage,and non-tamperability make it fully utilized in multiple application fields and become a hotspot in international technological competition.Research on technological evolution path and trend prediction in the field of blockchain will help countries and enterprises to advance technological layout and occupy a leading position in international competition.This research combines the technological evolution path and time series model,not only can identify the emerging technology fields and mainstream technology fields of the blockchain,but also can clearly show the evolution trend of technical themes in the field.It helps enterprises and governments to be more aware of the cutting-edge technology themes in the underlying technology fields and application technology fields of the blockchain,and is conducive to the implementation of blockchain technology in the industry.Through the blockchain trend prediction framework of this research,the following findings are found.First of all,from the level of the underlying technical field of the blockchain,the evolution direction of smart contract technology is intelligence and security,and the evolution direction of distributed storage technology is cloud storage and node storage optimization technology.The evolution direction of the consensus mechanism is the fusion and optimization of algorithms,and the evolution direction of cryptography technology is the security optimization of algorithms and the security management of keys.Secondly,from the application field of blockchain,the future emerging technology fields of blockchain technology include scientific research,intelligence,justice,sports,culture,smart home and emergency.In the future,the medical field,government affairs,agriculture and animal husbandry,transportation and logistics are about to become mainstream technology fields.The current mainstream technology field,the financial field will continue to receive attention in the future.The enlightenment from the above conclusions is to accelerate the breakthrough of the bottleneck technology of the blockchain and the implementation of blockchain applications.On the one hand,the government should actively promote the supporting policies of blockchain technology in emerging technology fields and mainstream technology fields,and encourage enterprises in more industries to apply blockchain technology.On the other hand,companies should strengthen cooperation with scientific research institutions to continuously break through the limitations of the underlying technology of the blockchain.Finally,domestic scholars should pay more attention to the research on the underlying technical fields and emerging technical fields of the blockchain,rather than solely focusing on the financial field.
