I’ve been researching all subjects related to blockchain. It’s difficult to master all these subjects, but if you are interested in blockchain technology, you can just learn relevant knowledge points.
First, data structure in computer science. You need to get familiar with features and complexities of common data structures to know how they work.
Second, cryptography. You should learn the basic concepts of hash functions and asymmetric cryptographic methods (public/private key, elliptic curves).
Third, network structure, you should get familiar with p2p network. The decentralization of blockchain in a large extent comes from peer to peer network structure. Blockchain bascially stems from p2p network.
Other than computer technologies, knowledge about economics is also needed to understand different economic models in blockchain projects.
If you’re interested in blockchain, I recommend that you read through the Bitcoin whitepaper a few times, and then research concepts that you don’t understand. After you get the basic concepts, you can move on to study Ethereum and then other projects.
About SimpleChain
The mission of SimpleChain is to simplify the blockchain for business.
SimpleChain is a PoW main chain with flexible sub-chains. Different sub-chains can adopt different kinds of consensus and block data structure as needed, to enable a variety of applications and use cases on blockchain. Sharding is also implemented to improve performance. This double-layered structure of one main chain and multiple sub-chains can fuel various applications while ensuring the consistency of the network.
Built on VeraxChain, SimpleChain’s first sub-chain, Baoquan.com provides record keeping services which serves to keep records of online data and authenticate electronic evidence. In June 2018, Hangzhou Internet Court of China judged a case of copyright dispute based on data stored on Baoquan.com. For the first time in China, the legal effect of the electronic data stored on blockchain is recognized in the judicial system.
