Okex Cloud Chain publishes the book "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications" in the publishing industry, providing a comprehensive analysis of technical logic and future applications

Recently, during TOKEN2049, one of the largest web3 industry events in the world held in Singapore, the industry popular science book "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications," published by the well-known on-chain data service provider OKLink, was officially launched. This book elaborates on the importance of blockchain, a decentralized distributed ledger technology, in the future technological era from various aspects, including the underlying technical foundation, expanded applications, and peripheral development fields.

At the event, many attendees expressed strong interest and gave full recognition to the content after reading the new book, engaging in enthusiastic discussions and interactions with the book's creators. It is understood that this book is edited by Ren Yunan, the chairman and CEO of OKLink Holdings (1499.HK), in collaboration with industry professionals. Unlike other obscure popular science books, this book is not only a no-threshold basic technical guide but also a forward-looking report of the times. It contains extensive theoretical discussions as well as specific practical operations, aiming to help readers interested in web3 comprehensively understand and master this cutting-edge technology and its application overview.

Delving into the Core: Interpreting the Technical Logic Behind Blockchain

In November 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the landmark paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," officially marking the beginning of blockchain technology. In 2013, Ethereum, founded by Vitalik Buterin, further pushed this technology into the vast fields of smart contracts and decentralized applications, marking the entry of blockchain into the 2.0 era. For a long time, blockchain technology has received widespread attention and discussion from various sectors, and its deep integration and rapid development with multiple industries such as finance, supply chain management, the Internet of Things, and healthcare have fully demonstrated its enormous potential.

OKLink, a technology service provider that has been deeply engaged in the blockchain field for many years, has keenly captured this point. While continuously researching and innovating technology, it has also invested significant resources and effort into meticulously compiling this popular science book "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications," providing a comprehensive and easy-to-understand technical guide for industry practitioners and general readers. It not only offers basic technical analysis for practitioners but also provides a convenient way for general readers to understand and recognize blockchain technology.

The book is divided into three parts: the Basics, Applications, and Peripheral sections, containing thirteen chapters. The Basics section systematically interprets the working mechanism of blockchain, covering foundational knowledge such as the development history, technical architecture, and core characteristics of blockchain, industry foundational tools like cryptocurrency wallets, and industry value metrics—stablecoins. The Applications section focuses on several popular types of blockchain technology applications today: decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), game economics (GameFi), and social economics (SocialFi), citing numerous real-world cases to showcase the advantages and challenges of blockchain technology applications. The Peripheral section encompasses Web3, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), crypto asset custody, and the recently hotly discussed real-world assets (RWAs), revealing the development status of the blockchain derivative industry.

Emphasizing Popular Science to Promote Industry Cognitive Upgrades

As mentioned in "Blockchain: From Basics to Applications": "The development of blockchain confirms an interesting phenomenon in the historical process of humanity: from the proposal of an idea or technology to its true flourishing, it takes nearly thirty years. This phenomenon is not only found in the field of science and technology but is also common in philosophy, natural sciences, mathematics, and other fields. About thirty years is roughly equivalent to a generation's time; the birth of an idea, algorithm, or technology typically requires a generation's effort to be explored, digested, practiced, and applied by the public."

Since its establishment in 2013, OKLink has been observing, practicing, and innovating in the blockchain industry. After launching a globally leading Web3 blockchain explorer and on-chain data analysis and services, OKLink has comprehensively summarized and organized its business practice experiences into the compilation of this new book. The launch of this book is not only a technical experience guide from industry pioneers but also an important declaration of OKLink's commitment to continuously promoting the rapid development of the industry.

Regarding the intention behind jointly publishing the new book with Zhonghua Book Company and Mingwen Bookstore, chief editor Ren Yunan stated, "We hope that readers who focus on and participate in the construction of the blockchain field can gain valuable insights and shares from the book. We also hope that this accumulation and effort can inspire the public to gain a deeper understanding and exploration of the blockchain field, and we further hope that this book can provide substantial help for the development of the blockchain industry, assisting it in moving towards higher and farther directions."
