A few days ago, the Ministry of Science and Technology The 2021 annual project application guidelines for 18 key special projects such as the R&D plan "Blockchain" solicit opinions and suggestions from the public. The start and end time for soliciting opinions is from February 1 to February 21. The project declaration guidelines are the first batch of key special projects launched in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the first batch of tasks to be deployed in 2021.
A reporter from "Securities Daily" learned that "blockchain" The key special projects are dedicated to building an internationally competitive blockchain technology and industrial ecology, and are planned to be deployed around three research directions: basic theory of blockchain, system construction and common key technologies, security supervision and governance.
In this regard, the Deputy Secretary-General of the China International Science Exchange Foundation, Li Kedeng, secretary-general of the China Blockchain Think Tank, told a reporter from the Securities Daily that the inclusion of key "blockchain" projects in the "14th Five-Year Plan" national key research and development plan will help consolidate the theoretical foundation of blockchain technology and accelerate the advancement of blockchain technology. The breakthrough of blockchain core technology will also promote the benign and orderly development of the blockchain industry and release new momentum for the development of my country's digital economy.
The overall development goal of blockchain is clear
Since 2020, the Ministry of Science and Technology, together with relevant departments, has carried out research on the task layout of the "14th Five-Year Plan" national key research and development plan, and in 2020 At the beginning of the year, 67 departments and more than 2,400 scientific research units were widely collected 16,000 major R&D requirements, forming the overall layout of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the National Key R&D Plan.
The solicitation of opinions this time focuses on the goals proposed in the project application guidelines The rationality, scientificity, and advanced nature of the indicators and related content are based on the opinions and suggestions of all parties. The Ministry of Science and Technology will work with relevant departments, professional institutions and experts to carefully study the opinions and suggestions received, and revise and improve the project declaration guidelines for relevant key projects.
The national key research and development plan launched the implementation of the "blockchain" key special project Significant.
It is understood that the key special projects are organized and implemented by the National Key Research and Development Program Carrier, focusing on major national strategic tasks, goal-oriented, from basic frontier, major common key technologies to the application of the "14th Five-Year Plan" National Key R&D Plan "Blockchain" Key Project Application Guidelines for 2021 (Draft for Comment) "(hereinafter referred to as the "Project Application Guide") shows that the overall goal of the "Blockchain" key special project is: to focus on the urgent technical needs and key scientific issues in the blockchain field, establish an independent innovative blockchain basic theoretical system, and break through the regional Block chain system construction and common key technologies, strengthen block chain supervision and governance technology research, promote the establishment of a new generation of information infrastructure and services that integrate block chains and other cutting-edge information technologies, carry out application demonstrations in key areas, and create a Internationally competitive blockchain technology and industrial ecology.
In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Fifth Institute of Electronics Blockchain Innovation Xiang Lipeng, team leader and senior engineer, told the Securities Daily reporter, “China’s inclusion of key projects of ‘Blockchain’ in the ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ national key research and development plan is not only to implement the instructions of the national ministries and commissions’ policy documents, but also to accelerate The needs of blockchain technology and industrial layout.”
"In recent years In the future, the development of domestic blockchain technology and industry has entered the fast lane. The national ministries and commissions jointly formulated and issued a series of policy documents, from the key common system of the blockchain, the basic theoretical system, the implementation of application scenarios, talent cultivation and innovation, security supervision and Governance, development policy system, etc., comprehensively promote China's blockchain technology research, accelerate the layout of the blockchain industry, and enhance the international discourse power and rule-making power." Xiang Lipeng further said.
Start seven tasks around three major directions
The project declaration guide adheres to the principles of problem-oriented, step-by-step implementation, and key points, and plans to build around the basic theory and system of blockchain For the three technical directions of common key technologies, safety supervision and governance, seven guideline tasks have been launched in advance, and each guideline task has clarified the research content and assessment indicators.
In the direction of the basic theory of blockchain, it is planned to start 3 guide tasks, that is, the design of new blockchain architecture Theories and methods, research on key technologies of blockchain-oriented high-fault-tolerant cryptographic systems, high-extensibility provable security consensus algorithms, and system design theory and methods.
In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's industrial Internet blockchain major project review expert Chen Xiaohua, chairman of the Blockchain Professional Committee of the China Mobile Communications Federation, told the "Securities Daily" reporter that only by innovating my country's independent, safe and controllable blockchain platform from the basic theory can my country master the global blockchain technology. and standards, and successfully built a "theory-technology-engineering-platform-standard" integrated blockchain distributed trusted sovereignty system.
Chen Xiaohua believes that blockchain technology is essentially a distributed Trusted system, next-generation blockchain core technology research includes consensus algorithm optimization balance, security and privacy protection, contract credibility, scalability, cross-chain technology and other five directions, corresponding to distributed computing theory, cryptography Theory, software credibility theory, heterogeneous system interaction theory and operation research, parallel theory system.
In the direction of blockchain system construction and common key technologies, it is planned to Initiate 3 guiding tasks, namely the blockchain performance model and multi-level collaborative optimization key technology research, blockchain provable security and privacy protection technology research, and blockchain evaluation technology system and system research.
Chen Xiaohua interpreted that, in terms of technical direction, for traditional blockchain The contradiction between low-performance and high-frequency transaction requirements, research on blockchain performance models and multi-level collaborative optimization technology and other directions. As these problems are gradually resolved, the performance of the mainstream blockchain system currently used will be more optimized, the transaction confirmation delay will be further reduced, and smart contracts that support more application scenarios will help my country's blockchain industry to accelerate its implementation.
Start the blockchain ecology in the direction of security supervision and governance Safety Supervision Key Technology Research Guidelines Tasks. Chen Xiaohua analyzed that at present, my country's blockchain technology at this stage still lacks a complete independent, safe and controllable underlying platform and an integrated software and hardware platform, which will directly lead to the occurrence of multiple risks, including the technical risk that the core technology of the blockchain is controlled by others, The financial risks of overseas open source platforms seizing the domestic financial market, etc.
Chen Xiaohua believes that my country is currently vigorously developing blockchain ecological supervision A technical framework to identify and locate common security risks at different levels in a timely manner. Only by establishing a safety and ecological supervision technical framework suitable for public chains and alliance chains for various risks in the ecology, can we realize all-round supervision of the entire ecosystem.
