Introduction
Blockchain technology has played a pivotal role in the crypto world since its inception. As the hype around cryptocurrencies cools, public attention is shifting toward how blockchain can unlock its core value to better integrate with real-world business scenarios.
Much like the adage "To get rich, first build roads" in physical economies, infrastructure is the critical accelerator for digital economic growth. Deng Ke, founder and chairman of Chengdu PrimeNumber Stagwell Technology Co., Ltd. (PrimeNumber Stagwell), emphasizes that blockchain acts as a data and application connector in the new digital economy ecosystem, enabling efficient linkages for social and commercial activities while fostering open, equitable, and collaborative governance models.
The Core Value of Blockchain: "Direct Connectivity"
From Indirect to Direct Networks
Internet technology revolutionized economic activities by solving "connectivity" issues, enabling scale effects and operational synergies—evident in the success of e-commerce models. However, internet platforms rely on centralized intermediaries to standardize business rules, leading to monopolies, data misuse, and privacy breaches.
Blockchain’s breakthrough lies in its ability to:
- Transmit both standard data and business logic via multi-party consensus.
- Eliminate intermediary platforms by enabling peer-to-peer (P2P) and business-to-business (B2B) direct networks.
- Empower clients with data ownership and privacy protection.
