Where is blockchain 4.0?

Blockchain 4.0 where
--Elastos solves the problem that the underlying platform of the blockchain needs to be solved and cannot be solved

Someone to block chain made the division of four stages: chain 1.0 COINS, the block chain 2.0 etheric fang, block chain, represented by 3.0 Oipfs chain 4.0 Elastos is representative of the block chain operation system, although it is, but dig deeper, also makes sense.

The Internet realizes the transmission of information and the blockchain realizes the transfer of value. The Internet in the beginning is in the pattern of information transmission pipeline design, TCP/IP protocol underlying don't care about what is the difference between the transmission of data, for the bottom switches and routers, passed all just 0 s and 1 s. And block chain can I send a data to another person, I no longer have the ownership of the data, so as to use such a system has realized the transmission of real value. But in the digital currency ecosphere, which is based on the blockchain technology, it has not yet been able to compete with mainstream mobile apps (apps). What limits the development of blockchain?

One, ask the blockchain

First, efficiency.
Although computer block chain in theory above complete - infinitely fast, storage, infinity, you can calculate any programmable problem, because the physical factors such as network latency, improve their computing power inevitably are constrained by the laws of eminem darfur, with its direct bearing of Internet ecological application is worth discussing. Here's a look at the background of the computer industry: the rules of increased efficiency of distributed parallel computing are subject to Amdahl's law rather than Moore's law (see Wikipedia). The thousands of bitcoins are not even parallel computers, but computers with their own calculations and records that are less efficient than a mine. That is to say, using the world computer of thousands of mining units to complete the "decentralized application calculation" is very inefficient.

Second, really decentralize the problem.
Information exchange between distributed nodes in today's blockchain system (bitcoins, etheric, Neo, etc.) is usually limited to settlement information, and large-scale data exchange is not possible. So how do you solve that? With the rise of Napster, eDonkey and Bittorrent, P2P protocols became very popular in the late 1990s. Although we've seen a lot of progress on the blockchain, we haven't seen much of a smart contract for the point-to-point protocol layer recently. This is the direction of future blockchain development.

The question of Internet of things

First, security.
The biggest challenge for the Internet of things is cyber security. Assume that the traditional operating system perfect (no back door), perfect (no holes) suppose the traditional network, Internet of things application to send packets to an IP address is still a lot of issue as before not by accident, that is to say, DDoS attack remains the same. The traditional OS patch plus patch to eliminate the back door, can not be completed in a few decades, who believes will be finished later? For example, according to kaspersky lab, we can see about 1,500 personal distributed denial of service (DDos) attacks per day during peak hours. Some of the attacks continued throughout the day. The worry is that we are now working on building a real security critical application on top of this "broken" infrastructure. We will need one of the triggering factors for the transformation of the network paradigm of such applications. Instead of relying on the traditional client - server architecture.

Second, decentralize the problem.
Most of today's Internet of things apps are central, meaning that mobile terminals need access to the Internet of things devices using a central website. With iot block chain to realize the unified decentralized application platform, we will need to set up a unified decentralized peer-to-peer (Peer to Peer) network covers all mobile terminals, iot Gateway (Gateway) and block chain nodes. Which project has completed the project?

Era calls heroes

We know that platforms that run software applications are often called operating systems. In face of the decentralized application ecology of the Internet of things and blockchain, a new decentralized distributed operating system technology emerged naturally. Elastos network operating system (ElastosOS) is based on the operating system runtime (ElastosRuntime) based on this idea.

Elastos will be an operating system run by a distributed node. Elastos is run on a virtual machine by distributed nodes. Elastos has three basic pillars. First, the Elastos runtime allows developers to build true distributed applications, while the other abstracts the direct access network from the application. This is a key concept for network security. There is no need for concepts such as drivers or sockets, and applications are forbidden by designers to access the network directly. Network access is managed only by the runtime. The second is the Elastos Peer to Peer (P2P) network, which is a set of P2P protocols that can be distributed in distributed nodes, such as video and audio streams or text messages. The third pillar is the Elastos interface for the public and private blockchain. This will allow the Elastos to access the billing or identification of block chain authentication services. We are working with existing blockchain teams to provide interfaces to their systems.

Elastos -- the Blockchain driven Internet (Elastos: OuKuai Lian Powered Internet), a point-to-point virtual operation network that supports a stack of single-process virtual machines based on the Blockchain. In this cyber world, all people, all websites and all digital assets are registered with the Elastos blockchain, virus isolation, network order, fair trade, and the same world.
