Chongqing Advanced Blockchain Research Institute was founded on June 29, which aims to innovate blockchain technologies, train talent, and study industrial applications, to meet the demand of national sci-tech development and Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle construction. Besides, the Institute will strive to lead breakthroughs in this field, deepen the integration of blockchain with industries of Chengdu and Chongqing, and build an array of demonstration applications with remarkable economic and social benefits based on actual demand.
Chongqing Advanced Blockchain Research Institute was founded on June 6, 2021
The Institute was co-established by the People's Government of Yuzhong District, Chongqing Academy of Science and Technology (CAST), and Chongqing Qulian Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Wei, Director of the Institute, said it would conduct basic researches on blockchain technologies, innovation in the application of information technology, cybersecurity, and supervision technology; drive the formulation of industry-related blockchain standards; promote the establishment of authentication and evaluation systems on technological and application capabilities; offer training and other support services.
Meanwhile, the Institute is expected to work with local universities and enterprises to boost the transformation of sci-tech achievement; plans to build an exchange and trade center for sci-tech factors to stimulate the application of sci-tech fruits.
Also, the Institute is about to develop some industrial blockchain, which will facilitate the healthy and orderly development of industries, benefit the public and enterprises in such fields as rural revitalization, financial credit, healthcare, education and training, and data sharing. With blockchain as the lever, it tries to vitalize industries.
Wen Tianping, Director of Cyberspace Administration Office of the CPC Chongqing Municipal Committee, noted at the launching ceremony that although the blockchain industrial application develops fast in Chongqing recently, large-scale and wide utilization has not yet been realized. He asked the Institute to focus on the city's weaknesses in blockchain development, deepen the study on the industrial ecosystem based on technological innovation, and work hard on the engineering, productization, and industrialization of blockchain technology. Thus, it can catalyze the shaping of applications, products, and ecosystems to practice more application scenarios while satisfying the demand of application, market, and development. As a result, Chongqing can welcome some products with state-of-the-art technologies, companies with industrial competitiveness, and industrial parks with characteristics of the city to better bolster the high-quality development of the digital economy.
Chongqing Blockchain Open Service Platform, developed by the Institute, also made its debut. The platform was built on Qulian Technology's underlying blockchain technology, serving government departments, companies, and developers with rapid deployment and visual operation and maintenance management of consortium blockchain, free public consortium blockchain, regulated smart contract development tools, and efficient and safe smart contract audit.
To help the platform better empower the digital economy development in Chengdu and Chongqing, the Institute signed with Chongqing Municipal Housing Provident Fund Administration Center, China Construction Bank, Chongqing Museums Association, Chongqing Qulian Digital Technology Co., Ltd., Chongqing Huaheng Yunchuang Technology Co., Ltd., and Chongqing Hotkey Technology Co., Ltd. to develop demonstration applications.
The platform has built Provident Fund Information Sharing Consortium Blockchain, Credit Consortium Blockchain, Cultural Relic and Museum Blockchain, Bulk Commodity Trade Supervision Platform, and Smart Elevator Safety Blockchain. With blockchain infrastructure in provident fund information sharing, financial credit, cultural relics and museums, and other scenarios, it supports creating the blockchain industrial ecosystem in Chengdu and Chongqing.
