Development analysis of main chain system

Mainnet It refers to the blockchain network that is officially launched and can work independently . The main chain is also called the main network , Parent chain . In short, it is the mother chain of all chains , A chain that can generate a chain is called a parent chain , It can be said to be the bottom of the bottom . When the early development of a blockchain project has been completed , It will eventually go online to the main chain ( Main network ). At the moment , It will gradually complete a series of functions described in the white paper , Ultimately, create a successful blockchain ecological scenario . other , Before the main chain goes online , Inspection chains are usually issued (Testnet) Inspection . At this point, the verification token on the verification chain has no value , It is only used to perfect the function of the main chain .

Compared with the concept of main chain , As long as the side chain complies with the side chain agreement , Anchor a node on the main chain , It can be called side chain . occasionally , The side chain itself is the main chain , Have your own network nodes 、 token 、 Data information, etc ., However, the blockchain conforms to the side chain protocol , So it becomes the side chain of another main chain . The side chain can end the two-way anchoring between blockchains ( Also known as “ Two way hook ”,2WP).“ Anchoring ” The term is more common in economics , It means that one side of the business between the two sides should be based on the behavior of the other side . In blockchain , Because bitcoin is actually not simple “ Transfer ”, So it is temporarily locked on the bitcoin blockchain , Then release the equivalent token on the side chain . When the equivalent token is locked in the side chain , The original bitcoin on the bitcoin blockchain can be released . therefore “ Two way anchoring ” In fact, it is whether one party unlocks or not , It is conditional on whether the other party has already put in coins . The concept of side chain is first proposed to complete the transfer of digital assets such as bitcoin among multiple blockchains . In a nutshell , The side chain is a mechanism to move tokens between two blockchains . Let a token circulate in both the main chain and the side chain , Then expand its scope of use , Do not increase the burden of the main chain in the work , It is useful to prevent data congestion . By adding side chains , It can assist the main chain of bitcoin , Make bitcoin at home 、 Security 、 Faster “ Work ”. The side chain is a solution to improve the function of the main chain . The advantage of side chain is data independence , Do not increase the burden of the main chain , Prevent the excessive expansion and uncontrollability of data . secondly , The side chain can flexibly customize various blockchain parameters , Such as business expenses 、 Rewards, etc . The side chain has further broadened the use range and innovation space of blockchain skills , Make the blockchain support include stocks 、 bond 、 Financial derivatives and other asset types ., And small and micro payment 、 Intelligent contract 、 Security handling mechanism 、 Real world industrial registration, etc . The side chain can also enhance the privacy maintenance of the blockchain . This is what people are waiting for 3.0 The appearance of .
