“Cybersecurity is for the people, and cybersecurity depends on the people.” The 2023 Guangdong Province Cybersecurity Publicity Week will be held from September 11th to 17th. On the occasion of the opening of Cyber Security Week, Southern China Network launched a series of “Interviews with Big Experts” reports, interviewing several industry scholars and experts on the development and issues of network security technology to discuss new concepts, new trends, and new ecology in network security construction.

Regarding Guangzhou’s recent efforts to build a national blockchain innovative application pilot project, Nanfang.com conducted an exclusive interview with Professor Ren Hao, Secretary General of the Guangzhou Blockchain Industry Association.

Blockchain is a chain data structure that consists of data blocks containing transaction information that are interconnected and connected in an orderly manner based on cryptography. It adopts a decentralized approach and uses cryptography and consensus mechanisms to ensure that transaction information cannot be tampered with or forged. It provides a trusted mechanism for value transfer and exchange in an untrusted network, with openness, transparency, and data credibility. , privacy protection, security and reliability and other technical advantages.

“Currently, we have begun to enter the digital economy pilot. As a cutting-edge digital technology, whether it is the new infrastructure of smart cities or the metaverse, blockchain is the basic and core supporting technology.” Ren Hao said.

The most concentrated blockchain industry cluster in China, empowering the real economy

According to Ren Hao, Guangzhou has provided more than 30 replicable blockchain scenario application cases in the fields of taxation, justice, education, logistics, e-government and other fields, and successfully created the country’s first blockchain electronic invoice “tax chain”, district There are cases of blockchain application achievements such as blockchain policy fulfillment chain, blockchain authorized witness platform, blockchain commercial registration, and enterprise on-chain services. The scale and effect of blockchain innovative applications rank among the top in the country.

The construction of the Guangzhou Blockchain Trusted Certification Service Platform has realized the innovative application of blockchain + electronic signatures, covering 500,000-level enterprises and more than one million pieces of data on-chain management. The country’s first “Trust Guangzhou” digital platform supported by blockchain technology has connected to the first batch of 10 domestic and foreign digital certificate service agencies to provide “one-chain” services and build "full regional mutual recognition, full role coverage, and full process Credible” trust ecosystem. The Huangpu District enterprise on-chain service project uses blockchain to promote the reengineering of government business processes, realizing clear code services, intelligent second-hand approval, and commitment approval.

Policy protection and accurate and clear planning of pilot work routes for blockchain innovative applications

Ren Hao introduced that during the pilot construction process, Guangzhou City provided a lot of policy support.

Establish a joint meeting system. The Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government established the “Guangzhou Joint Conference on Promoting National Blockchain Innovation Application Comprehensive Pilot Work” with the mayor as the general convener, the deputy mayor as the standing convener, and 15 municipal departments and relevant units in Guangzhou as members. ”, which has a joint meeting office responsible for daily work.

Prepare a pilot mission statement and clarify the construction roadmap. The Blockchain Industry Association strengthens coordination with various government functional departments, and in accordance with management and service functions, each proposes and is responsible for implementing the blockchain innovative application work content within its scope of responsibilities, and clearly forms pilot goals, key tasks, and safeguards.

Strengthen funding guarantees and fully support pilot construction. The Municipal Finance Bureau gave full play to its financial functions, effectively implemented the relevant arrangements for the pilot work, increased financial fund guarantees, and invested more than 50 million yuan in the pilot work projects to promote the implementation of various goals and tasks as planned.

The safe and orderly development model is the biggest advantage of Guangzhou’s blockchain development

Guangzhou has inherent advantages in developing blockchain due to its unique inclusiveness.

First of all, Guangzhou has abundant blockchain technology research and development resources, as well as sufficient university education and high-end talent reserves. Sun Yat-sen University, South China University of Technology, South China Normal University, Jinan University, Guangzhou University and other universities have established technology platforms such as blockchain research institutes and blockchain laboratories, and have opened undergraduate and postgraduate teaching courses in blockchain majors.

In addition, the high degree of industrial agglomeration constitutes an advantageous environment for the development of blockchain. Guangzhou has established the blockchain industry cluster with the highest concentration in China. There are more than 400 blockchain companies, and 154 have been certified by Huangpu District and Guangzhou Development Zone blockchain companies or institutions, of which 148 companies (individuals) have 175 Projects were selected into the “Registration List of Domestic Blockchain Information Services” issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China.

Guangzhou’s blockchain industry adheres to safe and orderly development, creating the cleanest blockchain development environment, forming a unique development model and the greatest development advantage promoted by the government, enterprise agglomeration, and standardized application. The Innovation Block of the Cyberspace Administration of Guangzhou Municipal Committee Chain safety supervision mechanism, strengthen risk awareness, and ensure compliance development.
