Původ
Blockchain vzniklý z bitcoinu. 1. listopadu 2008 osoba, která si říkala SatoshiNakamoto, publikovala"Bitcoin:APeer-to-PeerČlánek"Elektronický CashSystem,P2 popisuje architektonicko-elektronickýkoncept technologie cashtechnologie na síti y, blockchaintechnologie atd., která značí zrod bitcoinu. Po dvou měsících, teorie vstoupila do praxe a první blok tvorby se sériovým číslem 0 se zrodil 3. ledna ,2009.O několik dní později se 9. ledna 2009 objevil blok se sériovým číslem1 a byl spojen s genetickým blokem se sériovým číslem0, aby se vytvořil řetěz, označující zrození řetězce bloku.
Inrecentyears,theworld’sattitudestowardsBitcoinhavefluctuated,butblockchaintechnology,oneoftheunderlyingtechnologiesofBitcoin,hasreceivedincreasingattention.IntheprocessofBitcoinformation,blocksarestorageunitsonebyone,recordingallthecommunicationinformationofeachblocknodewithinacertainperiodoftime.Eachblockislinkedbyarandomhash(alsocalledahashalgorithm).Thenextblockcontainsthehashvalueofthepreviousblock.Withtheexpansionofinformationexchange,ablockandablockaresuccessivelyconnected.Theresultiscalledblockchain.

Coretechnology
Distributedledger
Distributedledgermeansthattransactionaccountingiscompletedbymultiplenodesdistributedindifferentplaces,andeachNodesrecordcompleteaccounts,sotheycanallparticipateinsupervisingthelegalityoftransactions,andtheycanalsojointlytestifyforthem.

Asymmetricencryption
Thetransactioninformationstoredontheblockchainispublic,buttheaccountidentityinformationishighlyencryptedandcanonlybeaccessedwiththeauthorizationofthedataownerToensuredatasecurityandpersonalprivacy.
Consensusmechanism
Theconsensusmechanismishowtoreachaconsensusbetweenallbookkeepingnodestodeterminethevalidityofarecord.Thisisnotonlyameansofidentification,butalsoameansofpreventingtampering.Blockchainproposesfourdifferentconsensusmechanisms,whicharesuitablefordifferentapplicationscenariosandstrikeabalancebetweenefficiencyandsecurity.
Theconsensusmechanismoftheblockchainhasthecharacteristicsof"theminorityobeysthemajority"and"everyoneisequal".The"minorityobeysthemajority"doesnotcompletelyrefertothenumberofnodes,butcanalsobecomputingpowerandequityOrotherfeaturesthatcanbecomparedbycomputers."Everyoneisequal"meansthatwhennodesmeettheconditions,allnodeshavetherighttogiveprioritytotheconsensusresult,anditmaybethefinalconsensusresultafterbeingdirectlyrecognizedbyothernodes.TakeBitcoinasanexample.Proofofworkisadopted.Onlywhenmorethan51%oftheaccountingnodesoftheentirenetworkarecontrolled,itispossibletoforgeanon-existentrecord.Whenenoughnodesareaddedtotheblockchain,thisisbasicallyimpossible,therebyeliminatingthepossibilityoffraud.
Smartcontracts
Smartcontractsarebasedonthesecredibleandnon-tamperabledata,whichcanautomaticallyexecutesomepre-definedrulesandterms.Takinginsuranceasanexample,ifeveryone'sinformation(includingmedicalinformationandriskoccurrenceinformation)istrueandcredible,itiseasytoautomateclaimsinsomestandardizedinsuranceproducts.Inthedailybusinessofinsurancecompanies,althoughtransactionsarenotasfrequentasthoseinthebankingandsecuritiesindustries,theirrelianceoncredibledatacontinuesunabated.Therefore,theauthorbelievesthattheuseofblockchaintechnologyfromtheperspectiveofdatamanagementcaneffectivelyhelpinsurancecompaniesimprovetheirriskmanagementcapabilities.Specificallyspeaking,itismainlydividedintotheriskmanagementofthepolicyholderandtherisksupervisionoftheinsurancecompany.
