When it comes to the term blockchain, you may first think of Bitcoin and various virtual currencies, but in fact, many large companies have paid attention to blockchain technology in the early years, and even applied it in the field of blockchain technology. Recently, among the patent applications issued by the State Intellectual Property Office, Huawei has applied for its blockchain technology.

The patent file shows that the patent was first submitted in August 2016, which is about using blockchain technology to store digital content verification information and realize the network verification function of P2P distributed content. When a third party sends a download request to the network, the system will match the license and verification information. Only when the verification request reaches a consensus on the blockchain, Content will be allowed to download. Huawei said that this technology is an intellectual property solution to protect P2P distribution and dissemination of digital content.

In fact, in May 2016, Huawei had joined the financial blockchain cooperation alliance to explore the alliance blockchain and application scenarios for financial institutions. In October of the same year, Huawei joined the Super Ledger (an open source project launched by the Linux Foundation in 2015 to promote blockchain digital technology and transaction verification. The members include: ABN AMRO, Accenture and a dozen other different stakeholders. The goal is to let members work together to build an open platform, meet various user cases from different industries, and simplify business processes.) In February this year, Huawei Cloud also released the blockchain service BCS product to provide enterprises and developers with public cloud blockchain services.
