Application Scenarios

Supply Chain Finance

Uses decentralized, tamper-proof, shared ledgers to ensure transparency and fairness, helping SMEs improve their credit ratings while cutting risk management costs.

Advantages

  • High efficiency

    Shared ledgers allow all parties to use and recognize the same set of data, streamlining the financing process.

  • Low costs

    Complete recording and tracking of logistics, information flows, and capital lower risk management and financing costs.

  • High credibility

    Fair and transparent transactions help SMEs improve their credit ratings and ultimately obtain preferential interest rates for loans.

Supply Chain Tracing

Each party can maintain ledgers, ensuring real-time and authentic data updates, and use product-unique tracing codes, ensuring authenticity of commodities and the distribution processes.

Advantages

  • Tamper-proof

    Commodity and distribution information is encrypted in the blockchain, preventing tampering.

  • Transparent

    Unique commodity codes in the blockchain make it possible to completely and transparently record ownership and distribution.

  • Easy to trace

    Tamper-proof, transparent ledgers allow parties to understand commodity distribution and facilitate supervision by regulators.

Digital Assets

Automated transaction capabilities such as asset ownership confirmation and accounting reconciliation support efficient exchange of digital assets and prevent in-chain falsification.

Advantages

  • Fewer disputes

    Each asset, with an immutable timestamp, is registered publicly, facilitating tracking of asset permissions.

  • Higher efficiency

    Trust, sharing, and security and privacy protection ensure smooth distribution of digital assets.

  • Cheating prevention

    Tamper-evident ledgers prevent forgery and cheating.

Notarization for Crowdfunding

Funding is traceable and information is open, transparent, and shared across the entire network, resolving trust issues between organizations.

Advantages

  • Increased efficiency

    Shared ledgers break down the barriers among people and organizations. Smart contracts enable automatic transaction execution.

  • Effective control

    Distribution, use scope, and even validity period of capital are effectively controlled.

  • Improved public trust

    Algorithm-based consensus between parties at all blockchain nodes makes transactions open and fair, improving mutual trust.

  • Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance (FBFT)
    Fast Byzantine Fault Tolerance (FBFT)

    FBFT is a consensus algorithm with high performance and availability. It requires at least four orderers for transaction ordering and tolerates byzantine faults at a maximum of (N – 1)/3 orderers, where N indicates the total number of orderers. For example, assume that there are seven orderers. Transactions can be correctly ordered if no orderer or only one orderer experiences byzantine faults. This algorithm is recommended in the production environment.
