• Title: What essentially is blockchain
• Lecturer: Terrence Wang, Co-founder and CTO, IOST FOUNDATION
• Abstract: Blockchain technology can explain as the value of data which enables companies to extremely difficult to tamper data and making it possible to build systems with virtually no downtime at a lower cost than traditional database or servers. The blockchain system has general-purpose capabilities beyond handling virtual currencies; a blockchain platform has a protocol called Smart Contracts, a mechanism to ensure that blockchain contracts are reliable, and a built-in programming language to do so. Examples of social implementation of the technology is by applying the blockchain technology to electric power Peer-to-Peer trading where power generators will be able to sell power at a higher price than the existing system (trading through intermediaries), and consumers will be able to purchase power at a lower price and freely choose the generation source they want to purchase. In healthcare, having one's own health information data is a way to take responsibility for one's own health and from a self-medication point of view, it leads to savings in health care costs, and blockchain technology ensures reliability and security with a promising application technology.
• Biography: B.S. of Computer Science, University of Minnesota and M.S. of Computer Science, Princeton University. Terry researched Distributed Systems at both universities. His real world software engineer experiences started from Microsoft and Uber in Silicon Valley. At Uber, was in a team developing Uber China App backend and core function of Uber Subscription in North America from 0 to 1. It was the hottest time for the sharing economy. Uber started from a small company and to a billion-dollar business, and then a giant with tens of billions of dollars. When Terry was recruited, he was told that the company's valuation would likely to double five times next month, and maybe ten times the following. Terry's enthusiasm for blockchain already showed at Princeton, he developed CoinLang, a higher-level functional language for bitcoin and CoinJoin, which largely enhances anonymity security of bitcoin. After experiences in Silicon Valley and five years of research experience in cryptocurrency and distributed algorithms, he has believed to build my own chain, and could build it well. Of course, bitcoin and later Ethereum models made he think so.
