In recent years, as the cornerstone of the development of the digital economy, blockchain technology has realized distributed collaboration, traceability, and non-tamperable application characteristics by the technical characteristics of broadcast transmission. It can reconstruct the trust of the future society. “Fourth Industrial Revolution New Technology” has received widespread attention. With the strong support of the national and local governments, the development of blockchain has fully started the “acceleration” mode, and more industry leaders have invested in the popularization of blockchain technology, infrastructure construction, application landing, and talent training. my country The overall development of the blockchain has been in a leading position in the world.

As the blockchain ushered in short-term explosive growth in the early stage of the industry’s development, it will inevitably face the problem of insufficient industry-related talent reserves and difficulty in employing employees. To this end, on February 10, 2021, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China announced in the “Notice on Announcement of the Results of the Recording and Approval of Undergraduate Majors in Ordinary Colleges and Universities in 2020” (the “Notice”). There are a total of 14 colleges and universities in my country that have applied for The undergraduate professional course of “Blockchain Engineering” has been opened to continue to provide follow-up forces to the industry. The shortage of blockchain talents will be effectively alleviated in a few years and continue to provide follow-up forces to the industry. The 14 universities announced this time are Dalian Minzu University, Hebei Finance University, Hebei Polytechnic Institute, Hebei International Studies University, Shanxi Institute of Energy, Zhejiang Wanli University, Anhui Polytechnic University, Anhui University of Science and Technology, Fuzhou Technology and Business University, Jiangxi University of Technology, Jiangxi University of Engineering, Jiangxi College of Application Science and Technology, Qilu University of Technology, Chongqing Metropolitan College of Science and Technology.

The Blockchain Service Network (BSN), as our country’s independent research and development, the world’s most widely distributed blockchain infrastructure, and the most comprehensive technology integration, provides developers with a one-stop blockchain solution with low cost and technical interoperability. The Blockchain Service Network Development Alliance is formed by four BSN sponsors, the National Information Center, China Mobile, China UnionPay, and Red Date Technology, and is jointly established by the world’s leading cloud service providers, technology framework providers, and application developers to promote the block The industrial development and ecological construction of the chain. The BSN Development Alliance actively promotes the full popularization of blockchain technology. It has organized more than 100 official training activities for governments, enterprises, universities, and society across the country, and has publicly released hundreds of blockchain-related learning materials. At the same time, by providing free accounts for universities and developers, more people can enter and study blockchain technology in-depth.

On June 10th, the Blockchain Service Network (BSN) Development Alliance and Peking University (PKU) Student Blockchain Center reached a cooperation to jointly promote the BSN campus plan to take root in Peking University. To meet the research and learning needs of teachers and students in the field of blockchain, BSN student accounts are opened for free for professional teachers and students to teach. On July 19, Xidian University (hereinafter referred to as “Xidian”) 2021 International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Practice Week undergraduate credit course “Blockchain Empowering the Real Economy” officially opened. BSN Development Alliance member unit Huo Chain Technology CEO Yuan Yuming, Red Date Technology Training Manager Zheng Xiaojun, and many other blockchain experts, jointly taught the students of Xidian. I believe that with the unremitting efforts of the majority of blockchain educators, practitioners, and advocates, more people will be encouraged to embrace the blockchain, continue to input fresh “blood” into this industry, and promote the innovative development and wide application of blockchain technology. . Only in this way can blockchain technology better play its important mission of “new infrastructure” and empower my country’s digital economy in the long run.
